3. NOT ALREADY ON THE AGENDA. Vanessa Kawaihau, 871 Sycamore, advised that at the previous night's General Plan Update meeting that she attended, the direction given to staff on how to proceed with the Greenbriar development density change for their area seemed to contradict the decision made by the City Council at the Joint City Council-Planning Commission meeting on June 29, 2004. She noted that Item C, "Processing Applications That Need General Plan Amendments," which was moved by Mayor Pico and passed unanimously, directed staff to discourage applications for General Plan Amendments for proposed projects parallel to, or in advance of, the final adoption of the General Plan Update. She noted that she was confused by the action taken that night and added that because the public comment period had been closed, she could not ask any questions. She requested that Mr. Rasmussen clear that matter up before the minutes were prepared. Chairperson Roberts did not recall any discussion of parallel action at that time. Ms. Kawaihau wished to clarify that Greenbriar representatives met with the Alisal Improvement Club Board but that they had not met with the community members. She noted that neither Greenbriaz nor the Alisal Improvement Club Boazd had contacted any of the property owners adjacent to the project area or of properties that would be _ impacted by the proposed location of the Bypass Road. She noted that she had set a meeting up before the 4s' of July and that it had been cancelled late on Friday afternoon. She noted that a neighbor had to hand-deliver 100 postponement notices and expressed concern that there had been no goodwill gesture to work with the community. Chairperson Roberts advised that they had not taken any action. Kevin Close, 871 Sycamore, advised that the Bypass Road was an integral part of the Happy Valley Specific Plan and that the accompanying EIR addressed the traffic concerns, the number of cars that the golf course would generate, noise, and the quality of life in the community. Before the golf course began construction, there were approximately 100 trips per day at the Happy Valley Road and Alisal Street intersection. Upon opening of the golf course, it was estimated that there would be 1,500 cars at that intersection until the Bypass Road was opened. He believed that would greatly affect the quality of life and chazacter in the neighborhood. 4. REVISIONS AND OMISSIONS TO THE AGENDA Mr. Iserson advised that Item 6.a., PCUP-61, Bernal Partners. LLC/City of Pleasanton, would be continued to the July 28, 2004 meeting. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Kameny regazding the reason for the repeated continuances, Mr. Iserson advised that the applicant has had trouble retaining a noise consultant to finish the noise analysis on time.
