can be looked at. She worked with the Ridgeland Committee and is trying to be familiar with City planning. If development is approved for N. Sycamore, she recommended that only one house per acre be approved and the rural atmosphere retained as much as possible. Finally, she said she is concerned about the protection of wildlife in N. Sycamore should development take place. Susan Wacek, 5771 San Antonio Street, said she has been involved in the N. Sycamore Plan for two years and has attended most of the meetings. At those meetings 92% were opposed to San Antonio being extended. Those people still feel that way. She read from Section 2 of the Pleasanton General Plan which apparently stated that existing neighborhoods are rarely affected by new development. She disagreed with that, and concluded that she did not want traffic dumped on her neighborhood. Joy Macari, 455 Sycamore, stated she was shocked when she received a letter about possible annexation of her property. She was opposed to any development and could not favor any of the four alternative plans. In addition, she was extremely concerned about traffic on Sycamore Road should development take place. Phyliss Cooper, 6525 Alisal Street, Happy Valley, felt she had heard a lot of good comments from everybody. She felt that if N. Sycamore has to be developed, it ~ could be done somewhat and there is no reason to have a big problem with traffic. She suggested that if the Spotornos were willing to let a road go through their undeveloped property, traffic could be routed that way. She said she has fought to keep Happy Valley a rural area for 20 years and would like for it to remain that way as much as possible so that people who wanted to could keep their animals. She felt that people who live in rural areas and keep animals are discriminated against. Chairman Mahern asked Ms. Cooper if she favors any of the alternative plans. Ms. Cooper replied that she did not favor any of the plans shown tonight; however, she would not want more than one or two houses per acre should development take place. Ann Lynfud, 6300 Alisal, thought this was a marvelous opportunity for the Commission to do something to avoid having the Greenes and the Benevides devastated. She was in favor of the developers paying for the cut and fill and put the road primarily on development property. Rick Duman, Happy Valley Road and Sycamore, said he did not have a chance to read the EIR. He agreed with Mr. Jenson's comments; he has spoken with the developers and seen their plans, and feels that staff can come up with a feasible plan for the N. Sycamore road. ~ MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 24, 1991 Page 10 . .
