Councilmember Brown asked what the implications would be if the Council opted not to define roads or streets in the ordinance. Mr. Dolan said it would have to be addressed on a case by case basis as a project comes forward. Vice-Mayor Cook-Kallio asked and Mr. Dolan confirmed that if the Council determined roads were not structures, it would still retain the ability to prohibit a road it felt was inappropriate for a particular development, within practical parameters. Mayor Thorne opened the public hearing. John Bauer said he lives on Junipero Street in the Ventana Hills community. He expressed safety and traffic concerns if this street were to help provide a connection to the Lund Ranch II and future Foley property developments and felt the sparser development along Sycamore Creek Way was a more suitable alternative. James Frost said that Webster's and other common reference materials state pretty clearly that a structure is anything that is constructed or built, which includes roads. In reading the literature regarding Measure PP, he presumed that anything constructed or built would be prohibited in the areas described in PP because it would qualify as a structure in the way that most ordinary people would define it. He said that if he had not known what constituted a structure, he certainly would nc4 have consulted the Municipal Code and questioned the Council's ability to stray from definitions commonly used and accepted by the general public. Kay Ayala asked and received confirmation that anyone speaking tonight would have an opportunity to speak again at the next hearing, provided they were sharing new information or thoughts. She identified herself as a signer of the Measure PP initiative and assured the Council that its intent was to protect the ridges from housing and commercial structures, not roads. She said the initiative did not mention roads nor could she recall them even being considered. She referred to a letter submitted to the Council from the Spoforno's legal counsel and echoed its support for a ridgeline inventory and identification of the affected properties within the ordinance. Rachel McElhinny said that when voting for PP she entrusted the Council to honor the commitments made by former Council's with respect to the Ventana Hills Steering Committee. She disagreed with Mr. Frost's common sense definition of a road and said she did not think of a road as a structure in the common use of the English language. Phyllis Lee provided a brief slide presentation depicting an illustration of the end of her road (Sycamore Creek Way) in 2002, at which point there was no sign indicating the road's future extension. She said her CC&Rs did not adequately disclose the potential for expansion and in fact only included a misleading map indicating expansion of what was referred to as the East West Collector Road. She said the nature of this public hearing was also not adequately disclosed as she and her neighbors received only received notice the Thursday before. She referred to the Kaplan Book on California Real Estate Principles, which defines a street or road as any artificial monument. She said a monument is defined to include structure erected by man, which clearly encompasses streets and roads and was part of the context under which she voted for PP. Amy Lofland said she has served as an active participant of the Ventana Hills Steering Committee, Save Pleasanton Hills, and the Housing Cap Initiative. She stated that Measure PP speaks only to residential or commercial structures and that the authors would have identified roads if that were their intent. She said is important to know that traffic from any Lund Ranch II development was always intended to reach Sunol Boulevard through the East West Collector Road also known as Sycamore Creek Way. That road was designed and built to accommodate the anticipated need and each homeowner in Bridle Creek and Sycamore Heights signed off on that connection prior to purchasing City Council Minutes Page 5 of 11 April 2, 2013
