This email acknowledges receipt of your email to the Mayor and City Council and the City Manager. Thank you again for your interest in the City of Pleasanton. Sincerely yours, Ellen Holmgren,Administrative Assistant City of Pleasanton From:Tom Gill, CPA Sent:Sunday, February 05, 2017 12:44 PM To: Mayor and City Council<citycouncil @cityofpleasantonca.gov> Cc: Beverly Gill<beverlvgill51 @yahoo.com> Subject: Irby ranch To whom it may concern: We have been hearing that we must allow a high density residential project if we are to get housing for disabled on the same site. I don't see these two things as being connected. We can have one without the other! I am also concerned about the additional impact on roads and schools. Another nearby project,with over 300 units,will be complete soon. I am referring to the apartments at the corner of Stanley and Bernal. We should wait and see what the impact from that project will be, before developing the Irby property. The most upsetting project on the horizon is the proposed new civic center. We are told that the present site, at 30 years old, is obsolete. I grew up on the east coast, where most city halls were built in the 19th century, and still in use. Certainly, modifications and updates have occurred, but nobody would think of replacing the old structures. The thought that 30 year old buildings must be torn down is laughable. The new civic center is to cost$ 200 million. That's approximately$ 8,000 per family in Pleasanton. There will have to be additional taxes to pay for this. Even with 30 year financing, such taxes would amount to$400 to$ 500 per family,for the next 30 years. Maybe it is worth that to some people, but not to me. I hope that this issue is put to the voters before funds are committed so such an expensive project. 1
