number of people, both on the Task Force and in the audience tonight, that it would start off with a level playing field. Commissioner O'Connor inquired if it would be a 65/35 mix. Commissioner Allen said yes Chair Pearce asked Commissioner Allen if she is talking about at a 50/50 mix with an option for 1,759 units. She noted that Option 5B seems to have that. Commissioner Allen replied that it is really Option 7: a variation of Option 5B turned into the Preferred Plan by shifting the mix. She noted that it would really be at a higher feasibility with more units than are required. Commissioner O'Connor stated that 50/50 is there, but what Commissioner Allen is saying is to look at Option 5C and leave it at 65/35, but reduce the number of units so the feasibility probability is the same as Option 5B. Commissioner Allen agreed and stated that that is a simpler way of saying it. Mr. Dolan stated that he understands the concept but that it makes things a little more complicated, and he cannot tell the Commission what that reduction should be. Chair Pearce asked how that could be figured out. Mr. Dolan stated that it also begs the question. He asked if it is just swapped out for the point that Mr. Costanzo raised about the value underneath the Transfer Station. He suggested leaving the numbers the same and moving forward, but carrying that concept forward as a part of the Commission's recommendation. He noted that the Commission has a desire to reduce the number, and that can be figured out as it moves forward when the numbers are real. Chair Pearce agreed. Mr. Dolan stated that there is this sort of imaginary level of confidence in the work that is being done. Commissioner Allen stated that she hears what is being said and that she is fine with that as long as the notes also say that the assumption is it is covering the Transfer Station. She indicated that she gets really nervous when this discussion comes up about this number and then the Transfer Station is 80 or 90 on top of it. She stated that the last thing she want for the City and the community is to have two different sets of numbers so that it does not result in approving one and then another set of numbers has to be added when everyone knows that the plan that is being developed is for the entire East Pleasanton and the Transfer Station is part of that. She added that she wants to make sure the number covers it all. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, September 25, 2013 Page 43 of 45
