the need for additional architectural details, trail access being good for the community, and why EBRPD has been slow to complete anything in the past. Chairperson Wahl expressed concern about a temporary fix becoming permanent and felt moving parking and the toilets onto the Austin property would be an improvement. She did not like the proposal to provide parking on Old Foothill Road near the Adobe, and moving the parking now would mean people building on the Austin Property in future would not be able to comment. Chairperson Wahl agreed that there did not seem to be a need to rush approving the MOU at this time. Mr. Dolan advised that the City of Pleasanton has complete control over the design of the restroom building and grading would lower the concrete pad and help reduce the visual impact from residents. He asked Commissioners to not be concerned about the Foothill Road crosswalk when making their decisions as this is not something in the MOU. Mr. Dolan also noted that moving parking could be explored but would reduce the number of parking spaces, and parking on the other side of the Austin property could also be considered. Chairperson Wahl indicated she would like parking to be on the Austin property. She confirmed that the Commission did not want to approve the MOU at this time and staff should bring back additional information. Commissioner Streng believes there is a way to get things done but felt enough questions have been raised at this meeting to continue the discussions and information given to EBRPD. He felt further input was needed before a recommendation was made. He also indicated he would be open to splitting parking. Commissioner Fields asked about the cost to move everything to the Austin property and whether EBRPD would meet any of the costs. Mr. Dolan indicated it would be expensive. Chairperson Wahl confirmed that design changes needed to be made to parking, traffic signal, restrooms, etc. and the Commission would like to revisit. Commissioners Lambert and Hott le felt the Commission should have been given information about the original intent for the Adobe and felt they were being asked to accept something that is being wanted by EBRPD. They also felt that EBRPD should provide a comprehensive schedule so the Commission can consider everything from all aspects. A motion was made by Commissioner Streng, seconded by Commissioner Lambert, not to approve the Memorandum of Understanding with East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) and directing staff to share the Commissioners comments to EBRPD and provide additional information at a later date.
