~ over 30 feet, and Carolina Cherry shurbs would be planted five feet apart around the tree trunks which grow to six feet in height. These shrubs will screen the tree trunks. Commissioner Barker inquired if the red colorboard example is the same red color as the corporate color. Mr. Reid stated it was, although there may be a difference between a flat and gloss enamel paint. U nisource plans to paint some building panels with different painting schemes and will invite the Planning Department to view and make their choice. Planning Department's approval will be the ultimate decision. Commissioner McGuirk inquired if there are plans for internal circulation for entering and exiting trucks. Mr. Reid stated the delivery trucks are given appointment times and dock assignments, therefore, 13-14 trucks will not arrive at the same time. He also noted that customer and employee parking is segregated from the truck dock area. The southern loading dock is an infrequently used dock, perhaps one or two trucks a day. Commissioner Barker asked Unisource to consider installing bike lockers for their bike-riding employees. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED From an architectural standpoint, Chairman Wright would like to see the downspouts incorporated within the building walls. However, Chairman Wright does not feel this needs to be made a condition of approval. He merely would like the suggestion noted by the architects. Commissioner McGuirk also feels external downspouts would detract from the overall pleasing look of the building. He would like the downspouts within the building wall, or at least minimized by being placed in the recessed portions of the building. He commended the planners for their design of building, landscaping, benning, and cooperation with City staff. Commissioner McGuirk supports this project and welcomes Unisource to Pleasanton. Commissioner Dove thought that north and south traffic from 680 should use the Stoneridge Drive exit instead of traversing over to 580/Hacienda Drive. However, traffic studies suggest that the safest and least encumbered route would be the Hacienda Drive exit. Commissioner Barker noted her support of this project. Commissioner Lutz noted he had talked with Mark Sweeney and Dan Reid and thinks they have done an excellent job. He also supports this project. Chairman Wright is pleased to see Unisource come to Pleasanton and feels they will be an asset to the community by providing more jobs to Pleasanton residents. Chairman Wright supports this project.
