SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL <br /> Provided to the City Council <br /> After Distribution of Packet <br /> Annette Brecheisen <br /> From: Pleasanton City Clerk <br /> Subject: Opposition to Proposed Water Pressure Boosting Station at Parkside Drive and Harvey <br /> Court <br /> From:Terri Ghio <br /> Sent:Wednesday, March 08,2017 9:28 PM <br /> To:Adam Nelkie<anelkie(dcitvofpleasantonca.gov>; Mayor and City Council<citvcouncil(alcitvofpleasantonca.gov> <br /> Subject:Opposition to Proposed Water Pressure Boosting Station at Parkside Drive and Harvey Court <br /> Hello Mr.Nelkie and the Pleasanton City Council, <br /> I just received notice that the City of Pleasanton plans to install a recycled water pressure boosting station in the Ken <br /> Mercer Sports Park at the intersection of Parkside Drive and Harvey Court. <br /> I want to inform all involved parties that I am opposed to having the pressure boosting station at this location. I think it <br /> would be better placed further away from our neighborhood, street,the baseball field and the park thorough fare. <br /> Placement in the middle of the park or at Hart Middle School on an isolation pad would be preferable. <br /> Here are my concerns; <br /> I) What are the anticipated noise levels from this pumping station? <br /> 2) When does the City of Pleasanton plan to provide a demonstration of the noise levels and vibration that can be <br /> expected from this pumping station? <br /> 3) What are the anticipated operating hours of this pumping station? <br /> 4) Will the pumping station be installed on an isolation pad that will not transfer vibration to the surrounding area? <br /> 5) Why can't this pumping station be installed at Hart Middle School? <br /> 6) Why can't this pumping station be installed in the middle of the Ken Mercer Park where it is farther from the <br /> surrounding homes? <br /> I have lived in the City of Pleasanton for ten years and have seen how the City approves projects and rezoning without <br /> adequetly investigating alternatives or the impact on the community. I watched as the Summerhill project was rushed <br /> through the planning commission. My neighbors and I have now endured noise and dust from this project for six days a <br /> week since the destruction of the building on West Las Positas began. I look at that project and know that it does not <br /> resemble the pictures that were shown to my neighbors and myself. One of my neighbors also just informed me that that <br /> project will not have the amount of on site parking that was promised, which will inevitably affect the surrounding area <br /> negatively. The Summerhill project and the rezoning of Hacienda Business Park was not well thought out and I have a <br /> feeling neither has this pressure boosting station. <br /> Currently the building on the corner of Hacienda and West Las Positas houses a generator that when it is run vibrates the <br /> surrounding area. When the generator is run it vibrates my sons window and my entire house. My neighbors and I have <br /> complained to the city and little has been done about this. This generator also needs to be placed on a special isolation <br /> pad, but it has not been done. <br /> I am assuming this pumping station will have a large pump and a motor to drive this pump. Has anyone heard what this <br /> pump sounds like or how much noise it makes? Was an investigation conducted to find the quietest pump possible? Will <br /> this pump ever cause vibration during it's useful life? Has any thought been given to the noise levels and the hours of <br /> operation? <br /> Honestly this seems like an easy fix for the City of Pleasanton, but not something that was thought out. If the residents of <br /> Parkside were considered in this planning,this pump would have been placed somewhere else, like in the Hacienda <br /> Business Park or at Heart School, which may still be too close to the Parkside neighborhood. <br /> Thank you for your time, <br /> Terri Ghio <br /> 1 <br />
