O. Box 520 P. O. Box 520 Pleasanton, CA 94566 Pleasanton, CA 94566 Planning Department City of Pleasanton P. O. Box 520 Pleasanton,CA 94566 Dear City Council,Task Force Members,and Planning Department: I write on behalf of Rhodes&Jamieson, LLC regarding the East Pleasanton Specific Plan planning process presently underway. At present,the Task Force is considering several alternative proposals for the EPSP area, and the City Council is scheduled to provide direction on the alternatives at its June 18 meeting. Rhodes&Jamieson affiliated companies own about 1,000 acres of land adjacent to and east/southeast of the EPSP area. Most of that land has been mined,is presently being mined, or is permitted to be mined in the future, for construction aggregate materials. As recognized in the City of Pleasanton's July 2012 Preliminary Background Report for the EPSP: The approximately 1,000-acre East Pleasanton Specific Plan(EPSP) area(Figure 1)is part of a considerably larger area commonly kno'rvn as the Livermore-Amador Valley Quarry Lands. The Quarry Lands contain the largest single concentration of sand and gravel deposits in the Bay Area. This land has long been of special importance because of the value of its mineral deposits to the region's economy,the environmental impacts created by extracting and transporting sand and gravel, and the manner in which excavated land is reclaimed for future use.
