Allen Roberts 16 Grey Eagle Ct. Pleasanton, CA 94566 5U.PPLEMENPP.L MATERIAL December 12, 2015 Provided to the City Council City Council Members After Distribution of Packet City of Pleasanton 200 Old Bernal Ave D tO •� Pleasanton, California 94566 Re: PUD 25 Lund Ranch Comments Dear Mayor and Council Members: The Council approved PUD 25 on December 151 and is now considering adopting PUD 25 with the 2"d reading of the ordinance. I want the Council to clearly understand that such adoption would violate the voter initiative PP and Pleasanton's General Plan, as well as CEQA. Because of the violations,the Council should decline to adopt PUD 25 until these issues can be corrected. It appears that the Council was focused entirely on the access issues for the project and failed to address the other PP issues of the project. During the Council deliberations of November 17th, the Council recognized these other issues and voted on corrective actions. However,the modified plan, which was made available to the public less than 24 hours prior to the December 151 meeting, did not take those corrective actions into account. Therefore, the plan, as approved on December 15t, still remains in violation of PP and, as such, Pleasanton's General Plan. Lot 32 Measure PP prohibits structures on 25% slopes or within 100 vertical feet of a ridge. • Pleasanton's Municipal code defines a ridge as a"series of major and minor hills" and a ridgeline as "ground line located at the highest elevation of a ridge running parallel to the long axis of the ridge." Staff believed the termination of the ridge also required definition and consequently added "The end of the ridgeline shall be the last peak on each end of the landform at which the elevation of the ridgeline no longer rises in elevation, and only decreases in elevation." These collective definitions for ridge have been voted on 3 times by the Council and five times by the Planning Commission. They are also in the Staff report for PUD-25. Below is a shaded contour map for the Lund Ranch II Project, obtained from the USGS. It has been overlaid on Staff's map on which Staff identified the ridges on the project for the developer in 2008.
