THE CITY OF <br /> East Pleasanton Specific Plan _ <br /> Public Comments pLEASANTONO <br /> From:Sandy Yamaoda <br /> Sent: Monday, December 02, 2019 5:37 PM <br /> To: Mayor and City Council <citycouncil@cityofpleasantonca.gov> <br /> Subject: East Pleasanton Specific Plan = Planning Process <br /> Dear Mr. Mayor and City Council Members, We haven't received our RHNA numbers yet and I <br /> understand you are beginning the planning for this east side. I object to this. How can you plan when <br /> you don't have all the facts <br /> The issues that the community objected to are still problems: <br /> Our schools are underfunded and crowded—will the current residents have to pay for the students from <br /> the east side from elementary through high school? We all know the impact fees will not cover the <br /> expenses and are never enough. Otherwise, why are we facing the prospect of another bond issue? <br /> Traffic is horrendous and the prospect of the extension of El Charro make me shutter at the cut through <br /> traffic expected as well as additional traffic from the proposed homes. Would you really decide to put a <br /> highway next to our water storage areas?? <br /> Water is still an issue and you need to get to Sacramento and plead our case that we will not have <br /> enough SAFE water for our current residents much less future thousands. <br /> WAIT until the RHNA numbers come though, consider other areas in Pleasanton for housing, leave the <br /> east side zoned for an industrial park and encourage that type of use to provide jobs so our residents <br /> will not face long, long commutes. <br /> The COST: Don't make any sweetheart deals with Ponderosa that will cost residents so that Ponderosa <br /> can make millions on another development—or you could just call this Ponderosa Town. <br /> Sandy Yamaoda <br /> Pleasanton, CA <br /> Provided to City Council for the February 18,2020, Meeting 20 <br />
