Mayor Hosterman commented on the Bide to Work Day and that a community survey <br /> regarding bicycles would be coming out soon that asked what areas in town needed <br /> improvements. <br /> Mayor Hosterman closed the public hearing. <br /> A break was taken at 9:13 p.m. <br /> The meeting reconvened at 9:19 p.m. <br /> Ms. McGovern commented on the bicycle issue on page 57 of the specific plan. She <br /> asked if a bike and walking path all the way around the property can be created? <br /> Mr. Fialho reviewed the current plan and noted that it could be modified to reflect a path <br /> around the entire perimeter, however, there would be some difficulty around the area near the <br /> 680 on ramp. <br /> Ms. McGovern stated that she would like to see this reflected in the plan in the future. <br /> Mr. Sullivan agreed with Councilmember McGovem's comments. <br /> Mr. Brozosky noted that there would need to be a more extensive discussion on bike <br /> paths in the future. <br /> Mayor Hosterman asked how the Council felt about the tennis courts and if the language <br /> included is sufficient. <br /> Mr. Brozosky stated that nothing prevents tennis courts from going in and he doesn't <br /> want to spend money on changing the illustrative plan. He is comfortable that tennis courts can <br /> go into the plan at some point. <br /> Mr. Sullivan agreed with the language, but thought it needs to be shown on the map; it <br /> would make the supporters feel better. He noted that all the commissions supported the <br /> placement of the courts. <br /> Mr. Thorne stated that the courts should remain in the plan, but he was not sure if it <br /> needed to be on the illustrative plan. He asked if there would be an impact if they were to be <br /> placed in the illustrative plan, would anything be taken away. <br /> Mr. Fialho noted that nothing would be taken away, but they would have to find a <br /> location for the tennis courts in the illustrative plan. <br /> Mr. Rasmussen stated that the most likely place would be on the area near the open <br /> space in close proximity to the park, for maintenance purposes. <br /> Mr. Fialho noted that it is difficult to design the property in a public setting. The issue <br /> could be master planned in the future so that all the stakeholders could be involved. This is why <br /> staff is comfortable with including it in the language, but not on the map. <br /> Pleasanton City Council 9 05/16/06 <br /> Minutes <br />
