Serpa: Yes, am I going too fast? Chair Ritter: No, that's okay. While you're on this one, is this something you as a developer paid for and if you didn't do this project the City would have to pay for this using the funds that we set aside, is that correct? Serpa: Yes, the City has pursued this in the past. They needed the relief line on sewer and that's why the City had gone through the eminent domain process. Weinstein: Just to clarify really quickly. Mr. Serpa is correct; we would depend on private development to fund the cost of the Nevada Street extension. It's unlikely that if private development were not to happen here that we would actually build the Nevada Street extension using our own road funds. Chair Ritter: Okay. Serpa: I can flip back through to any slide if you remember a particular slide you want to go back to, but I just wanted to highlight the traffic circulation again —what we believe and what we hope based on the information we have so far are improvements. Those are the intersections that we'll be studying more. At this point, based on the information we have, we think it's going to provide improvements at those intersections, but we need to do more homework to figure that out. We talked about Sunflower Hill and we couldn't be more excited to have the opportunity to work with these guys. They're just a fantastic group and to have this type of community within our community and this type of offering is pretty rare. I think Pleasanton, with this type of offering, would be the type of project that cities haven't and don't and this could provide a model that could be emulated. This shows the massing. The buildings have one- and two -story structures and that's the residential piece there. Great photo simulation as you're coming this direction on future Nevada Street approaching their community. Some of the amenities and concepts are on that page. So the historic recreation —you know, we talk about and we really like to take this approach to celebrate and to highlight families who lived here, the structures that have been here and tell this story in a functional way and we think a greenhouse approach in the shape of these structures could be a functional, useful, educational, and a lot could go on with it. In this location if it was the City's choice, you could put the Irby house there. I don't know it would have the function of something else we could do there but we're open to more discussion, you know, on just how to do that and these are just the informational panels. There'll be a sense of how those work. We got this idea from this example in Hawaii where they take their archaeological and historical recreations very seriously. This is exactly what they do there. So, with that, if you've got questions on any particular area, let me get to that. I can go back to slides if you need. Chair Ritter: Anyone have any questions? Commissioner O'Connor: So you were talking about the size of the homes. For a new home, they're smaller than what's offered today in Pleasanton and I think you'd hinted they'd be more affordable. Do you have a price point for what these homes between 1,800 and 2,400 square feet would be? PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, April 27, 2016 Page 7 of 43
