Comment Letter 9 <br /> 3. Page 4A-17: Paragraph two identifies Site 11 as "edge of urban — <br /> development perceived as constituting the most visual change": We do <br /> not believe that Site 11 should be characterized in this manner and <br /> request that it be deleted from sentence. Site 11 is truly an infill site as <br /> it is located at the intersection of Valley Avenue and Busch Road. <br /> Valley Avenue is one of the main roadways with Pleasanton and the 9.3 <br /> site is located across the street from residential housing, a church and <br /> senior housing. Furthermore "perceived as constituting the most visual <br /> change" should be deleted. This is a highly subjective statement as <br /> creating a well planned mixed-use community on this property can be <br /> perceived as a vast visual improvement over the current bare industrial <br /> use. <br /> 4. Page 4G-4: Site identified as being in close proximity to PG&E gas T <br /> transmission line. We don't know of any PG&E transmission line in the I9-4 <br /> proximity to Site 11. Please remove this reference. <br /> 5. Page 4G-11: Impact 4G-2: Due to its proximity to Site 14, Site 11 is <br /> identified as likely to " ...involve ground disturbing activities which have <br /> the potential to expose workers, the public or environment to any <br /> contaminated soil or groundwater, if present." Site 11 has been fully 9.5 <br /> evaluated by accredited engineers and any previous contamination <br /> has been identified and handled in the appropriate manner." Site 11 <br /> should be removed from this discussion in the DSEIR. <br /> 6. Page 4G-15/16/17: Site again identified within "airport influence area"; <br /> MM 4G-5; requires evidence of compliance with ALUPP. We have <br /> contacted the local engineering and planning firm, Ruggeri-Jenson- <br /> Azan, to review this comment. RJA has confirmed that the Kiewit site 9-6 <br /> is outside of both the airport protection area and the Airport Land <br /> Commission safety zone. Therefore, our site should not be described <br /> with the said area. <br /> 7. Page 4J28: MM4J-7:Site identified as required to perform site specific <br /> acoustical assessment from noise exposure of single aircraft events. 9.7 <br /> Similar to the comment #6 above, Site 11 should not be subject to this <br /> requirement. <br /> — <br /> Generally, Site 11 as owned by Kiewit, has many favorable attributes that will enable T <br /> 9_8 <br /> prompt development of the site to another use. These include the fact that the Kiewit W <br /> KIEWIT INFRASTRUCTURE CO. <br /> Kiewit Plaza,Omaha,NE 68131 <br /> (402)342-2052 (402)271-2830 FAX <br />
