CITY OF PLEASANTON <br /> COUNTY OF ALAMEDA <br /> STATE OF CALIFORNIA <br /> <br /> RESOLUTION NO. 71-104 <br /> <br /> RE: POLICY REGARDING PRIVATE STREETS, UTILITIES, ETC. <br />WHEREAS, the question of a policy on the development of Private <br /> <br /> Streets was discussed at the joint City Council-Planning <br /> Commission study session on June 15, 1970, at which time <br /> the Commission was requested to review and recommend a <br /> policy governing development of Private Streets, <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did accordingly undertake the <br /> review of such a policy to govern Private Streets, and <br /> after considerable deliberation and using as a general <br /> guideline a report from the Director of Public Works, <br /> took action on the matter. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: <br /> <br /> 1. The City Council hereby adopts the general guideline and <br /> policy relating to development of Private Streets, in <br /> accordance with the report submitted by the Director of <br /> Public Works, which reads as follows: <br /> <br /> "(1) The City should exercise the same design and <br /> construction control of development whether it is <br /> public or private. Although some reduction in width, <br /> elimination of sidewalk, substitution of roll curb, <br /> valley gutters or ditches for standard vertical curb <br /> and gutter and other changes of this nature can very <br /> well be allowed, no compromise in structural design <br /> or reduction in capacity should be considered. <br /> <br /> (2) Each case will have to be judged separately using <br /> some general guidelines. There is too much variety to! <br /> do otherwise. Some private streets will be little mor~ <br /> <br /> than driveways which will never become public. Others <br /> may be close enough to a typical public street so that <br /> there is a strong possibility that they will become <br /> public some day. <br /> <br /> <br />
