place to go because there's no parking on the street. They may do it just out of need without having to be forced. Don't remove it from the CC &Rs but I don't know that there is much more we can do. Ritter: I have two speaker cards. Alice Mohr? Thank you for coming and staying so late. Alice Mohr: I live on St. Mary's Street in Pleasanton. I came because I'm concerned that my property is right in the back of the back part of that property and I wanted to see what the plans were because I was worried they might be considering three stories. When I saw how many townhouses they wanted to put on the property, I was concerned with three stories, which I think is out of character for that area, and I particularly don't want a three story house behind me, but that's beside the point. The other thing I was going to ask is that if it could be a solid fence, like you know, one of those cement panel type fences that goes across the back of the property. And then I noticed in the plans that I was reading, if I interpret it correctly, it doesn't look like the setback from the back houses there to the back property on what would be the south is the minimum. It looks like it's supposed to be 30 feet and I think it's like 16 -20 feet that they have there and I was just wondering if that's a problem. And then the other thing is that I think the estimate for parking on St. John depends on whether you're going to park there after midnight especially on certain nights like Barone's Thursday Night in the summertime. The parking is really, really terrific around there until the bar closes. Then it lightens up, but it's hard to even put out your trash on St. Mary's Street on those Thursday nights. But, I like the music! The other thing is the Wednesday nights in the summertime; the parking's a little stiffer. But other than special event things, there is some parking on St. John Street. I do a regular dog walk so I keep up. So that was my concern; that the buildings not be too high and because I recognize it's a commercial property and they can put whatever the Planning Commission allows them. I was just going to say what I sort of would like. Thanks very much for listening to me. Chair Ritter: Ok, we have the last speaker card, Linda Behers? Linda Behers: I've lived on St. John Street, across the street, for 19 years, coming up on 20 years and I've lived in Pleasanton since 1989 so I understand Pleasanton. The first I heard about the project was when I got the proposed card, so I read the report last Friday when it was posted and I emailed Natalie and followed up with a phone call to make sure she received it. I know in the report tonight you had asked developers to talk with the neighborhood and no one has approached us as far as I'm aware. I'm the president of the St. John Court Board. I am representing my own interests but I've heard my neighbors talk and I know a few of them mentioned that they sent in their emails. So you're already starting to address some of our concerns about the parking. We have responsibility for enforcing our own parking issues. We do have guest parking spots. Even with our guest parking, our two per unit resident parking —we have residents parking on St. John Street on a regular basis, so we know there's people already out there from our 28 homes. My concern is the 12 additional units and what kind of parking would come along with it, because you can't assume just two cars per home.
