~ Numerous accidents have apparently taken place on Mirador Drive, with at least one car crashing into a house on the northern part of Mirador. She noted that Charlotte Severin, a resident of Mirador Drive was also opposed to the extension. Mrs. Tenbrink felt that she has a beautiful viewshed as it is and did not want to have it destroyed. She thought Pleasanton is very beautiful, but that care must be taken to preserve that beauty along with open spaces. Jim Evdokimoff, 695 windmill Lane, said he and other people on Windmill Lane had not seen the petition, but indicated he was opposed to it.

He said he lives next to Ms. Severin and helped when their house was on fire. He did not think response time for the fire department would have been any faster even if Mirador Drive had been open. He said many people on that street bought there because they liked the view, and thought it was unfair to take the Bonde property out of the Williamson Act in order for the developer to make some money.
