Mr. Thorne noted that the issue of another soccer field could possibly come up. He <br /> would like it to remain in the specific plan, but did not think it was necessary to include on the <br /> illustrative map. <br /> Mayor Hosterman commented on how to assure the tennis supporters that it will be <br /> included, while also receiving a-mails from other sport groups. She does not want them to be <br /> feeling left out of the process. She asked if there was some alternative language that could be <br /> used to give them a sense that tennis courts can be on the property. <br /> Mr. Brozosky commented that the existing language ensures that this can be included. <br /> Mr. Fialho stated that one option could be in utilizing the voter information text; a variety <br /> of uses can be listed. <br /> Mr. Sullivan commented that many groups have come to the Council and the requests <br /> have been included; he doesn't understand why the tennis groups are not being responded to in <br /> the same manner; he would like an equal response. <br /> Mr. Brozosky commented that during the full task force, tennis was not brought up very <br /> often; now it is being discussed because it came in later. Not every stakeholder is happy with <br /> the outcome, but have been willing to compromise. <br /> Mr. Thorne stated that the minutes will reflect that the Council supports the placement of <br /> tennis courts on the property. <br /> Ms. McGovern commented that if tennis courts are to be placed in the park„ she would <br /> like to see them in the community park area. She wants to protect the Grand Meadow and <br /> wants to be careful about not taking away land for additional uses. <br /> Ms. McGovern noted that the Staples Ranch property could potentially provide tennis <br /> cowls on that park. She likes to have tennis courts available throughout the community and <br /> neighborhoods. <br /> Mr. Fialho noted that as a possibility, amongst others. The site has not been master <br /> planned yet. <br /> Ms. McGovern asked if outdoor basketball courts were previously included in the plan. <br /> Mr. Rasmussen reported that basketball courts are included north of the youth center <br /> parking lot as seen on the illustrative map. He clarified that they are not in the Community Park <br /> plan. <br /> Mr. Fialho emphasized that the illustrative plan will be part of the information that will be <br /> available to the voters for review. <br /> Ms. McGovern asked if there was an area near the community park where tennis courts <br /> could be included. <br /> Mr. Rasmussen commented that there would not be enough room for six courts, the only <br /> option would be to remove the storm water basin and replace/redesign with a tennis courts. <br /> Pleasanton City Council 10 05/16/06 <br /> Minutes <br />
