BACKGROUND <br /> In November 2014, the City Council approved the Pleasanton Pioneer Cemetery Master <br /> Plan. The Plan included the development of the following elements: a vision statement <br /> for the Cemetery; recommendations for developing and expanding both cremation and <br /> casket burial activities; a business plan framework; a maintenance plan; and operational <br /> rules and regulations. The Plan also makes recommendations concerning onsite road <br /> improvements to accommodate increased traffic, new pedestrian paths and gathering <br /> areas, interpretive opportunities, a possible veterans' memorial, sculpture or art <br /> features, signage, lighting and additional landscaping. <br /> During the development phases of the Master Plan, a group of local veterans formed in <br /> support of establishing a Veterans' Memorial at the Pleasanton Pioneer Cemetery. The <br /> initial design concept was shared with the Pleasanton Pioneer Cemetery Task Force, <br /> which included a statue in the center bed. As proposed, these elements fit <br /> appropriately in their respective locations, with adequate space for viewing the statue <br /> and for the gathering of veterans for burial services and commemorative events <br /> (Attachment 1). <br /> - .r ; <br /> f, <br /> L if • <br /> 4 t.t....,..,„ <br /> vy,y +j,, �. <br /> 'tl 't • ,_fir?TIi-::y <br /> y I.:c j ' <br /> 1 <br /> l4. 3 <br /> ',3 • +r�"144 '1 <br /> $k> &Ira I <br /> lik , ' Ara. ..... , %., • -,40! <br /> 4 The h sto,,.c Flag Circle is the phvosed locrt:on for the n{w v,'h• .
