etc. Mr. McKeehan indicated it has not been considered at this point, but was willing to
<br /> think about it.
<br /> Mr. McKeehan discussed the affordable housing issues for the project. He noted that it is in
<br /> the conditions that they provide funds for some affordable housing and they are very
<br /> agreeable and interested in doing this.
<br /> Commissioner McGuirk noted that the Napa Valley wine region is very popular and
<br /> wondered why this portion of California is not. Mr. McKeehan noted that there used to be
<br /> viticulture in the Livermore Valley; however, Napa became aggressive and pursued
<br /> viticulture, whereas this area did not. Napa now has 107 wineries; Livermore has seven.
<br /> He further responded that they expect the Fenestra Winery to be a success because they have
<br /> a commitment from the Fenestras and the Wentes. In addition, Signature has invested a lot
<br /> of money in the firm conviction that it will be a success.
<br /> Discussion ensued regarding the preannexation agreement.
<br /> THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
<br /> Commissioner Wright addressed the letter from the City of Livermore attorney and asked if
<br /> the issues have been taken care of. Mr. Roush, Pleasanton City Attorney, noted that the
<br /> concerns had mainly to do with whether the EIR issues had been addressed. He indicated
<br /> that the City of Pleasanton feels those issues have been adequately addressed.
<br /> Commissioner Wright asked staff whether the preannexation agreement gave the applicant the
<br /> right to use well water. Mr. Swift stated that it is not contemplated that they will use well
<br /> water. Other sources of water will have to be explored, and it is not feasible in the long run
<br /> to have the City of Pleasanton provide all the water for the area. He noted that Zone 7 has
<br /> plans to bring a cross-country pipe line to the area, which would then be used to get water to
<br /> Ruby Hill. He further stated that one key point to consider is that if Pleasanton is rationed
<br /> as to water, Ruby Hill would also be rationed.
<br /> Further discussion ensued between Commissioner Horan and Mr. Swift in regard to water
<br /> issues.
<br /> Commissioner Michelotti noted that it would be encouraging if recycled water could be used.
<br /> In response to Commissioner Horan's question, Mr. Swift said the Diaz property cannot be
<br /> prezoned tonight, but the Commission can recommend to the City Council that it be annexed
<br /> into the City of Pleasanton.
<br /> Commissioner Wright noted that he has talked to a number of firefighters regarding the
<br /> estimated response time to a fire in the Ruby Hills area. He recommended that construction

<br /> comments and some discussion concerning the possible location of a sports park adjacent to
<br /> the ranch. He did not think a park would be compatible with the ranch. He said the plan
<br /> shown tonight is contrary to the County's plan, and would like to discuss this matter.
