directives were implemented as affirmed by the City Council, including lowering of lot thirty-two (32), movement of the cul-de-sac, and shortening the Lund Ranch extension. Ms. Ramirez stated that the road would be moved between zero (0) and seventy-five (75)feet. The Mayor closed the public hearing. Councilmember Olson stated he was going to support the plan and that Measure PP has impacted this project. The Council has not blatantly disregarded the Measure, but rather been conservative in its interpretations by removing five (5) lots. He is not in favor of removing any more lots in this development and the Council is not setting a precedent. No one will see the road except for the people who live in this development. It is true that years ago he said that a road was a structure, however he had to change his position in order to get to this point. He made a motion to approve staffs recommendation. Councilmember Brown acknowledged that she was a Measure PP signature gatherer and stated that it was adopted to provide hillside protection, whether one hundred (100) feet from a ridge, or within the City limits of Pleasanton. There should be no development in the top one hundred (100) feet from a ridge, no scarring, no severe grading, in order to protect the scenic ridgelines for future generations. Once they are gone, they can never come back. When the hiking trails are developed hundreds of people will see the new roads and homes. Measure PP was enacted to protect ridges, a road is not an open space, and the parking along the side of the road will not be well received. Vice Mayor Narum seconded the motion made by Councilmember Olson. She stated that the Council is honoring Measure PP with this proposal and it had gone from one hundred twenty-five (125) homes since 1996 down to forty-three (43). Seven (7) proposed homes had been removed from the proposal to get in compliance with Measure PP. The Council is cognizant of ridgelines and one of the actions taken unanimously by the Council was to add ridgeline mapping to the annual Workplan. The City is receiving one hundred seventy (170) acres of open space and it is beautiful land for hiking. Measure PP worked, and although she was not an initial supporter, it did work and the residents should be proud of this development proposal. Mayor Thome stated that the proposal before the Council was a reasonable compromise and a reasonable split of the traffic. The project is coming down one hundred (100) houses because of Measure PP. He originally felt the road by the barn was man made, but because of some doubt, he commented that if a road was not placed there the project would be inconsistent with others. He called for the vote.
