City of Pleasanton–Spotorno Ranch Reduced Development Project <br />Project Description Initial Study/Addendum <br /> <br /> <br />38 FirstCarbon Solutions <br />https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480021/Consistency Checklist/21480021 Spotorno Ranch Consistency Checklist ScreenCheck.docx <br />The proposed project would include a 12-inch-diameter water pipeline that would extend along <br />Spotorno Ranch Drive, providing connections to each home site. The water supply system would <br />connect to an existing 12-inch potable water line that is located within Alisal Street and Westbridge <br />Lane, and which is owned and maintained by the City of Pleasanton. <br />An 8-inch sewer main would be routed within the Spotorno Ranch Drive, with lateral connections to <br />each home site. The sewer system would connect to an existing 8-inch sewer line located within <br />Alisal Street, which is owned and maintained by the City of Pleasanton. <br />Two separate storm drain systems would be constructed within the Spotorno Flat Area, ranging in <br />diameter from 8 to 36 inches in diameter. One storm drain system would collect runoff from lots and <br />streets, and would discharge stormwater directly to the treatment pond on Parcel A for stormwater <br />treatment and flood mitigation. A second system (bypass system) would collect runoff from the <br />upland area and the subdivision areas that do not require further treatment. The two systems would <br />converge downstream of the Parcel A treatment pond and would connect to an existing 36-inch <br />culvert under Alisal Street, although runoff in the bypass system may be diverted into the treatment <br />pond under high flow storm conditions as approved by the City in the stormwater management plan. <br />Stormwater on Lots 13-15 would be treated by on-site bioretention and would be discharged directly <br />to Westbridge Lane through curb drain systems, or similar conveyance. <br />Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) would supply undergrounded electrical services to all <br />proposed residences. Natural gas is not proposed to be supplied to this project. Electrical service is <br />generally provided by way of a 12-kilovolt, three-phase overhead line system located along the <br />Happy Valley loop roads.11 Further expansion of this system would be the responsibility of PG&E, <br />with the costs shared by PG&E and the project developer. <br />Telephone service would be provided by Pacific Bell Telephone Company. Cable service would be <br />provided by Comcast/Xfinity. Costs for the installation of these services would be shared by the <br />providers and the project developer.12 <br />2.3.7 - Visual Characteristics <br />New residences would be designed and constructed in conformance with the HVSP and the design <br />guidelines to be approved by the City Council as part of the Planned Unit Development. The design <br />guidelines are intended to maintain the rural character that defines the HVSP (see discussion under <br />Section 2.2.3, above). In accordance with the design guidelines, there would be relatively large <br />spacing between each home (50 feet minimum). Houses would be built on lots with a minimum size <br />of one acre, and homes would be either 1- or 2-story, with a maximum height of 30 feet for 2-story <br />homes, 24 feet for 1-story homes, and 25 feet for an ADU. Accessory structures would be allowed to <br />have a maximum building height of 15 feet. Fences would be no greater than 6 feet in height, and <br />would be constructed in a style that complements the project’s semi-rural setting. <br /> <br />11 City of Pleasanton. 1998.
