mitigate the traffic issue. She requested that the Commission consider this because having vehicles turning left into and out of the site would be asking for trouble. Commissioner Narum commented that she believes staff had indicated in its earlier report that the concern about a maximum density of 30 units to an acre has been addressed in the Supplemental EIR. Ms. Stern said yes. She added that the density is a minimum and maximum of 30 units per acre. Commissioner Narum stated that the development will then come in at no more and no less than 168 units, which is 30 units to an acre. Ms. Birchell commented that it will not take care of the parking or traffic issue, but it would better than if it were at a higher density. Bob Plemmons, President of the Verona Owners Association, stated that the Nearon site has been the Verona homeowners' very favorite project for many years. He noted that some of the sitting Planning Commission were not around when this project first came out, and he would like to give a brief history before going through some specific items in the plan and a few on a wish list. Mr. Plemmons stated that when talk started about putting residential on the Nearon property, the Verona owners were very dismayed and felt they were misled because when they bought into that property, they were told that the Nearon site was going to be commercial forever. He added that when they bought into the Pleasanton lifestyle and located within the business park, they thought they really got an asset, but then the rules changed, and the State decided to take over the demographics of communities and out of the hands of most of the people. He stated that he understood the City's taking hold of Hacienda Business Park for growth because the location was excellent, the open property was available, and there was plenty of money to make it work. Mr. Plemmons stated that he was fortunate enough to be on the Hacienda Park Task Force, so he is familiar with many of the things being covered here tonight. He noted that a few infrastructure things concern him and that he believes he has not received good answers to them. He indicated that the Park was originally designed for businesses, and now 1,000 -plus residents are moving in. He questioned if the water and sewer supplies are sufficient without having to make any infrastructure changes and if PG &E can provide enough power. He added that these are issues that he has never seen anybody stand up to say that these utilities are covered. He expressed concern that when they find out down the road that new water or sewer facilities need to put in, the property owners in the park will have to foot the bill for them. He suggested that this be investigated, verified, and proven so that if any additional infrastructure is required, it would be added onto the present development.
