Additionally, Ponderosa hosted two neighborhood meetings. Notices of those meetings were <br /> sent via U.S. mail to each and every household within Valley Trails. <br /> With regard to the site plan, layout and neighborhood amenities being proposed by <br /> Ponderosa; these are in direct response to overwhelming input and majority support directly <br /> from the neighborhood. As previously mentioned, the EV Free property was the main topic of <br /> our six neighborhood meetings. We, as liaisons took the wishes, desires and feedback from <br /> those meetings back to Ponderosa for discussion and inclusion. <br /> Ponderosa has proposed building a wonderful clubhouse facility that will greatly benefit not <br /> only our neighborhood but the city as a whole. Their proposed operational model includes <br /> provision for either a Special Services District or Overlay District, limited to the proposed new <br /> home parcels as a funding mechanism for day-to-day operations, maintenance and capital <br /> projects in the future. The preferred location expressed by the majority of our residents is for <br /> Lot 11. We also believe that Lot 10 should also be included in order to provide the parking <br /> required, per the City of Pleasanton Title 18, Chapter 18.88.030 (D) Zoning Ordinance. <br /> Upon completion, it makes the most sense for Ponderosa to dedicate t he parking lot and <br /> community center to the City. It will cost the city nothing to maintain and operate this facility <br /> and it will also allow for citywide availability to all residents. It is our firm opinion that no <br /> other operational model will be practical or workable. <br /> It is with these details in mind, that we conditionally support this project. With the <br /> condition being the clubhouse, parking lot and park refresh amenities. We would also petition <br /> that the clubhouse and park amenities be completed concurrent with Ponderosa's Phase 1 <br /> build out and not be delayed until all phases have been completed. <br /> Without all of the aforementioned conditions being incorporated, we will be unable to lend <br /> our support for the proposed re-zoning and project. Simply stated, this is the right project, <br /> right amenities and the right time. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Ed Broome <br /> impi Hawaii Ct.
