87 <br /> Mr. Joseph Callahan, Callahan Property Company, 5674 <br /> Stoneridge Drive, indicated that he had reviewed the Staff Report <br /> and agreed with its recommendations. He proposed that with regard <br /> to Condition No. 8, the selling price of all four moderate - income <br /> units be based on the Oakland PMSA moderate - income level rather <br /> than have them split between the Oakland PMSA and the Pleasanton <br /> moderate- income levels. <br /> Ms. Mohr commented that the idea of acquiring part or all of <br /> the driveway at the back of the project to expand the landscaping <br /> CO was a good one. <br /> Mr. Callahan stated that he had offered to purchase that <br /> Q portion of the site in exchange for creating a driveway that would <br /> loop around the end of the shopping center. This would allow for <br /> z the reconfiguration of the project and the incorporation of that <br /> C unused area into the project. He added that he had also offered to <br /> G acquire about 13 feet of the existing driveway to allow the <br /> reconfiguration of the access point on Palomino Drive. He <br /> indicated that he had not received any response from the owners, <br /> who will be coming in from Taiwan next week. <br /> Mr. Tarver pointed out that numerous residents on Bernal <br /> Avenue have complained about the noise and traffic level. He <br /> inquired if the height of the proposed four -feet wall which was <br /> intended only to shield people seated on the patio from cars on <br /> Bernal Avenue could be increased to act as a soundwall as well. <br /> Mr. Callahan explained that the patios would be about five <br /> feet above the sidewalk level, making the four -foot wall actually <br /> equivalent to nine feet. <br /> Mr. Butler inquired if there would be a direct pedestrian <br /> access to the shopping center. <br /> Mr. Callahan replied that part of his offer to acquire the <br /> driveway included a request for an access point and an offer to <br /> reconstruct the existing sidewalk to provide a direct access to the <br /> shopping center. <br /> Ms. Mindy Kane, 3679 Canelli Court, stated that the area is <br /> composed of one- and two -story homes and townhouses and that it <br /> would be out of character in the neighborhood to provide <br /> substantially taller buildings. She said that it was her <br /> understanding that Pleasanton allows only one- and two -story <br /> buildings in the neighborhood and that this project would set a <br /> precedent. She added that there already is a fair amount of high - <br /> density units in the area and that she would like to see other <br /> - 5 - <br /> 11 -6 -90 <br />
