SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL <br /> — <br /> i\ :JJ L H i , City Cvura.0 <br /> Subject: FW: Pleasanton General Plan should be used as thiefORrAtEtakition of Packed <br /> bate c48`Is <br /> From: Julie Testa <br /> Sent: Monday, May 18, 2015 1:41 PM <br /> To: Jerry Thome; Mayor and City Council; Karla Brown; Kathy Narum; Jerry Pentin <br /> Cc: Nelson Fialho <br /> Subject: Pleasanton General Plan should be used as the benchmark <br /> City Council, <br /> The EPSP staff report is dishonest. Rather than using the Pleasanton General Plan guidelines to determine <br /> school impact that would result in significant unmet school mitigation,the PUSD report was used. The General <br /> Plan guidelines were arrived at through a great deal of community input and mutual agreement of both PUSD <br /> School Board and City Council. The General Plan Guidelines identify elementary schools of 600 students, <br /> middle schools that cap at 1000, and High Schools that would have a maximum student enrollment of 2000, <br /> allowing additional 10% when necessary. The PUSD report allows schools of unlimited size and uses <br /> questionable assumptions. The PUSD report qualifies that schools are not needed only if extreme enrollments <br /> are acceptable. If using the PUSD report you must also qualify it as they did. <br /> From the first EPSP meeting I repeatedly requested an honest analysis of school impacts; the issue was ignored <br /> for two years. At the first community meeting Brian gave blatant misinformation about school impacts. He <br /> promised to make it right at the second meeting, but he chose to give, less blatant, but misleading information. <br /> The third community meeting was again misleading, choosing not to use the General Plan guidelines to <br /> determine school impacts. <br /> Please do not allow this dishonesty to continue. Our Pleasanton General Plan should be used as the benchmark <br /> to determine unmet mitigation in city planning. City council must not allow continued disregard of violations to <br /> the General Plan. <br /> If our community is to plan for growth there are ways to mitigate school enrollment honestly. <br /> If you think your actions are too small to make a difference, you have never been in bed with a mosquito. <br /> --Unknown <br /> Click here to report this email as spam. <br /> 1 <br />
