SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Provided to the City Council After Distribution of Packet City Council @ Cityofpleasantonca.gov Date /- )9-17 Dear Mayor Thorne, City Council Members Pentin, Narum, Olsen, and Member Brown, Re: Priorities Meeting for March 14, 2017 East Pleasanton Plan Pleasanton Gravel should be FOR this project, because we are in the Sand & Gravel business, There has to be Hundreds of thousands of tons of sand & gravel in this project, and the Production plant is right next door to the proposed development, but we have concerns about the possibility of re-starting the planning process for the East Side of Pleasanton including over 880 residential units. Please do not add this to City of Pleasanton's list of work Priorities for 2017-18. The reduction of the 1300 units in 2015 to 880 units does not change are concerns about the danger of putting trails around Lakes H and Lake I with their steep slopes, Especially for children and individuals who reside nearby and attempt to fish, play and trespass into the areas near Lake H and Lake I.There are very serious risks of drowning should this area become open to a greater number of people. We continue to patch holes in our fences, and so does Cemex, who has been mining Lake A off of Vineyard Ave. in Livermore.That is where the Teenager almost Drowned in July 10, 2014, was Rescued by Firefighters After Diving into Quarry Pond in Livermore. Additionally,the nearby Arroyo Mocho can be dangerous in rainy weather and provides a hidden pathway to the Vulcan processing plant that has dangerous equipment, heavy trucks and access to unstable piles of gravel for those who make their way into the mining operations area. The plan calls for$4million to clean up Cope Lake, for recreational use, which has Broken Concrete, Steel Pipe, Steel Beams, and other Debris. Vulcan pumps 9 million gallons of water a Day into Cope Lake,Zone7 has installed a Siphon from Cope Lake into Lake I, where water goes back into the ground storage. To create the Chain of Lakes, and Zone 7's Stream Management Master Plan for a Bypass Channel for Water and Flood Control, you have to pump the water out of the ground to get remove the gravel. There is no more space water on our property, that is why water is being pumped into Cope. If the water could not be put in Lake I, it would have to be put in Arroyo Mocho, where it end up in the San Francisco Bay. It will take until 2060 to Finish the Chain of Lakes, and the Stream Management Master Plan, so Cope Lake will be full of water until then. I do not know how you would remove the Debris from Cope Lake,without contaminating the,water going into Lake I. The other concern is the increase of cut through traffic if El Charro Rd. is opened from HWY 580 To Stanley Blvd. The City of Dublin and San Ramon will have another way of cutting through Pleasanton, besides Tassajara/Santa Rita Roads, and Fallon Rd. to HWY 580<West to Santa Rita. I believe if this project is approved, by the time the Road is built, there will be cars, backed up Bumper to bumper from Stanley to HWY 580, because Stanley will be backed up trying to get on HWY 680 South, and Sunol Rd. South.
