Statement for 23 August 2023 Planning Agenda Item 6, <br />2107 Martin Ave <br />Hello, my name is Jay Galvin. I live at Torrey Court, Pleasanton, which is a <br />property 200 yards away from the PUD parcel and the sports court fence under <br />discussion. In other cities. I have served eight years as a Planning Commissioner/ <br />Zoning Board of Appeals chair, subsequently in Pleasanton I have served 16 years on <br />the Housing Commission, Economic Vitality Committee, and various task forces. I am <br />also a board member of the Stoneridge Park Homeowners Association, which has five <br />houses abutting the Martin Ave complainant property adjacent to the one with <br />the sports court.<br /> <br />I have known the PUD applicants Ashish and Meenu for seven years, they lived next- <br />door to me for four years, were very good neighbors, sociable, and friendly to other <br />members of our Association. I was surprised to receive the Notice of this hearing <br />regarding a PUD for Development Standards on this property. I was aware Ashish had <br />talked to Planning Staff in the past regarding his plans. I thought everything would <br />work out.<br /> <br />I knew these 30+ parcels were annexed in the 1990s under special conditions but was <br />not aware of the lack of PUD Development Standards. It is amazing how many dozens <br />of sports courts, garages, and ancillary structures, have been built before this became <br />an issue. <br /> <br />I do understand why Planning Staff recommended that Ashish and Meenu request the <br />Development Standards for this property at R 1–40,000 be established to cover any <br />future development. <br /> <br />What I do not understand is how a complaint to the City’s Code Enforcement turned <br />into a project with so much effort. <br /> <br />Sports courts can include tennis courts, pickle ball, basketball hoops, batting cages, <br />soccer practice areas, chid jumping structures, and a variety of other uses that have <br />varying needs of shielding the sport from surrounding properties. Pleasanton has not <br />undertaken the responsibility for creating standards for any of these uses. <br /> <br />Pleasanton does have PMC specifications for setbacks for residential properties, <br />ancillary units, lighting over ten feet, and fences between property lines. <br /> <br />Ashish wanted to build a tennis sports court with a fence and at one time have lights <br />on the fence. He initially contacted the Building Department in August of 2022 and was <br />told that as long as the fence was not over 10 feet high and the lights were not higher
