staging area access point. There is an EVA point to Dublin Canyon Road which is only meant for EVA and he presented a colored rendition of the development components. They spent time refining the plan and spoke of Measure PP compliance, slope analysis, Dublin Canyon Road improvements with benefits to existing neighborhoods, and access to the Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park in the northern area. Chair Allen inquired about the comment regarding the open space and that some would be reverted to the EBRPD. She asked if the Homeowners Association (HOA) is 38.8 acres and asked if this reverts to the HOA. Mr. Rosenbaum confirmed that would remain with the HOA, and he did not believe the District had interest in owning the property proposed HOA open space. Public Comments: Paolo Di Candia is a resident who lives next to the project and spoke in favor of the project. He expressed one concern regarding water runoff from the project but otherwise was in overall support. Dena Maionchi spoke as a Canyon Meadows resident and requested the staging area and project location be moved to a different area due to the current situation related to lack of space. She also spoke about the need for a traffic signal due to existing safety issues on westbound Dublin Canyon Road and the concern of adding pedestrians into the situation. Diane Lester Kolb said she is a resident, voiced support of the project and requested the project be expedited to ensure that her mother will see the project to fruition. Ted Vinson spoke as a neighboring property owner in regard to a letter he previously provided to the Planning Commission at the March 27, 2019 work session which he will restate now. He referenced being a property owner of a strip of land in the contiguous area near what is called Parcel C and EBRPD. They pay property taxes on this piece and the trail head would have to require trespassing over their property. His major concern is the meadow which has been addressed with the change in location of the staging area and he thanked all parties involved. Beyond that, the other issue is the fencing proposed for the homes around the lots, stating it would create terrain disfigurement. He encouraged a photo montage be required for the before/after presentation of the landscape with homes and fencing which is part of the Alameda County Agricultural Site Development Review Process which he had gone through himself to address environmental impacts of his home. Pat Johnson spoke as a resident of Canyon Meadows and inquired about the wildlife in the project location and the fact that she did not see wildlife information referenced in the staff report. She was concerned about which bridges would be widened and not having a left-turn lane for the Canyon Meadows neighborhood, although there is a right-hand lane being proposed. Bob Devany spoke on behalf of his family's ownership of the property east of the EBRPD property, and noted that the spelling of "Devaney," although reflected on maps, was not the Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 8 September 11, 2019 to the operator. He noted a rock-climbing wall is inherently more dangerous than bocce, so he thinks the operator has provided ways to mitigate risk sufficiently. Commissioner O'Connor echoed that he is supportive of the location for this type of activity and does not have an issue with parking. He agrees this is a more dangerous activity than other such uses but does not see the correlation to the current violence in the media. He expressed the desire to see a limitation set around alcohol consumption during the time of play, perhaps limiting consumption to two drinks per player for the duration of play.
