with a revised plan but no real time to review it. She said she fee1s a11 right with the north side of the project and is happy to see some lots were eliminated in the area of Angela Street where a swale is located. She felt that the developer has done a lot of things that the Design Review Board has requested. Commissioner Hovingh added that he would support Mirador Drive going through, but he would favor a four-way stop at Bonita Avenue. Commissioner Michelotti said she still has concerns about Mirador north; she does not want it to become a major thorough-fare, but feels the opening to the south is necessary for proper circulation. She pointed out to the public that traffic problems are created because most people always want streets to end in cul-de-sacs rather than have through streets as present in the General Plan. However, she concluded that she would favor the extension of Mirador to Bernal Avenue. commissioner wright also felt Mirador Drive should go through, but that study should take place in regard to keeping traffic at a slow level with stop signs, particularly around the school site. Overall, he felt that the applicant had done a good job, but he still has concerns about traffic. He would want something in place regarding traffic issues before the tentative map stage is in place. commissioner McGuirk said he felt the whole evening was very frustrating, in the light of new material that came tonight which he had no time to review. He expressed concern about the placement of the units; he was concerned about the possibility of landslides; he would remove units 73, 74, and 75; he is not sure exactly where the streets will go and feels that whole issue should be looked at very carefully to get a complete picture, including the extension of Mirador Drive. Chairman Mahern said she feels the applicant has gone out of his way to meet all the requests and concerns. She noted that he is a past recipient of the Mayor's Award and has lived and worked hard in Pleasanton and for the community. She felt he would do his best to make a good project for the city. She had no problem with "c" and "A" Courts. She had concerns with lots 73, 74, and 75 and would eliminate them. If they remain, she would not put them on a cul-de-sac. She would favor lots 65 through 72 be single stories as they back up to Abbie Street. She would take the fill out behind Abbie Street and restore it to its previous level or down to 492'. She would encourage the developer to work with those people on Abbie Street whose homes are below grade. She favored the extension of Mirador Drive to Bernal Avenue as recommended by the General Plan, but would recommend at least four stop signs or speed bumps. She would like a new configuration of house plans facing Independence Drive. MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 13, 1991 Page 18 " .
