L1VERNJRE COMMENT COMPILATION AND RESPONSE Commenter#29 C117 Comment: Honorable Livermore City Council members: We are both Seniors and love our home on Amberwood Way. In many ways Livermore is a very nice city, we enjoy our neighborhood, we have a great downtown, etc. We have been homeowners in Livermore for more than 30 years. I am writing-in regards to the proposed Airport Development Policy. I am hoping that somewhere is the proposal,noise impacts is mentioned.I did not fully read this draft proposal but wanted to let our elected officials know how we feel. We are against any expansion and any more facilities being built that will increase the number of aircraft using our Airport. Our Airport is very busy and popular and we have so many planes flying over our neighborhood.It seems to me that some city officials and some on our Airport Commission want to encourage more aircraft to use our Airport by building more facilities. Many of the aircraft using our airport are single engine Cessna type planes and I assume that they are from Flight Schools. Many are flying low and some are loud and disturbing. Seems like our Airport is much busier than Palo Alto,Hayward,Concord,Tracy,Stockton and other nearby cities.Seems like there are more flight schools using our Airport and I know flight Schools from other cities use it every day. I have an app on my phone (FlightRadar24) and I can see the airplane traffic at Livermore and other airports.I also know that this app is not 100%accurate. The City Council(I believe it was back around 2005)approved an expansion.I believe back in 2007 our City Council approved a Fixed Base Operator(FBO)which as you know is Five Rivers Aviation. When we bought our home in 1992 it was rare to see a jet using our Airport.Even though many of use residents protested against this expansion and around 1000 residents of Livermore and Pleasanton attended the meeting at Granada High in 2005 to protest this proposed expansion. Sadly our City Council approved the proposal and now we have many large corporate jets flying over our neighborhoods every day. I know there are people that want our Airport to continue to expand and that is disappointing.Our Airport negatively impacts many neighborhood including ours. Our home is about 3 '/2 miles to the east of our Airport and is slightly north of the flight path.Our Airport can negatively impact the property values of many neighborhoods.It affects the quality of life for many neighborhoods.Thru the years the increase in air traffic has become an on going conversation between our neighbors and us. And from what I have read, many residents in Pleasanton do not like our Airport and the noise these aircraft generate. Please take into consideration before allowing any more expansion, building of facilities, etc. on Airport property. Please reply to let me know you have received this info and please feel free to comment. Thank you very much RI 18 Comment noted.No specific alternative language or deletions provided.
