they concur with the report's findings, and with the developer, that the Lund Ranch Road access is the preferred environmental approach to minimize impacts and avoid construction on high sloping ground. However, it has come to our attention that the City of Pleasanton administration is proposing to overrule, and deviate from, the EIR and attempt to push a second road through the steep-sloped ground. This additional road is not the environmentally preferred solution, and it will also likely to run afoul of the Measure PP, which voters approved for the purpose of preventing the environmental damage and steep-s loped terrain. It is therefore our earnest request that the City administrators use the EIR as the impartial planning tool and implement the E/R's preferred project configuration with the lower impact road that does not violate Measure PP. Sincerely, Rebecca Evans, Chapter Chair Sierra Club San Francisco Bay Chapter. Tim LaBarge stated that he is speaking on behalf of my wife, Vicki LaBarge, and read her notes as follows: "Junipero will take on an additional 500 plus cars a day on top of the 2,400 that already commute up and down our street. These are numbers that have been validated by traffic control, as they've been monitoring traffic over the last couple of years. As a matter of fact, there is no thought given to the additional cut-through traffic that will happen even if it had been about the Traffic Commission once the 350 apartments go up on the corner of Bernal and Stanley which are under construction at this point. I'm certain there will be mom cut-through traffic associated with those apartment complexes." "The future development has always been planned via exit Sycamore, hence the signage and existence of the fire hydrant sitting in the middle of the field where a future road extension off Sycamore Creek will exist. Homeowners in Sycamore Creek and Sunset Creek have always been aware since the purchase of their homes, unlike Junipero homeowners who had no idea that parkland would force traffic down our street. The road was always intended to go through them. Change is okay, but when it is forced on one neighborhood, that is simply not okay. We're feeling the brunt of all the development going in behind us obviously" `The developer can and should figure out a plan to exit via Sycamore Creek and Sunset Creek which avoids 25-percent slopes. There is a way. It is the developer's job how to build within the confines of the conditions that the Planning Commission dictates. It is possible that the slope connecting Sunset Creek is not 25 feet.
