· Investigate the feasibility of a traffic barrier on Cameron Avenue at the westerly project boundary; · Discuss the feasibility of under grounding the overhead lines on Trenery Drive and Martin A venue; and, . Return the proposal to a public hearing. June 28th Planning Commission Public Hearing Discussion The Planning Commission staff report and minutes of the public hearing are attached. A revised project, with Cameron Avenue designed with a curvilinear alignment and a separated sidewalk along most of its north side, was presented to the Planning Commission. Ms. Pam Hardy, Pon- derosa Homes, was present to speak in favor of the project and to answer questions. Homeown- ers speaking on the proposal included Carol Lehman, Denny Leuthauser, Edward Reedy, Greg- ory Ketell, Janice Cain, Kelly Cousins, Matt Lawer, and Will Selway. Carol Lehman and Will Selway spoke in favor of the proposal. Edward Reedy stated that he supported the proposed plan and that having the sidewalk on Cameron Avenue was very impor- tant. Neighborhood concerns and comments in opposition to the proposal focused on: . The desire to eliminate the sidewalk from the proposal, keep Cameron Avenue as wide as it is now, and have the children walk on the south side of the street where it's safer due to fewer homes and cars; · The location of the sidewalk along the Leuthauser and Ketell properties appears to en- croach into their properties necessitating an eminent domain action; · Liability issues to the City by having a sidewalk on the north side of Cameron Avenue but not on the south side; · Cumulative impacts to the existing neighborhood from the Busch property developments and this development; . The proposed density did not fit in well with the existing neighborhood and should be re- duced; · Redesign the homes to be more consistent with the design character of the surrounding neighborhood; . The curvilinear alignment of Cameron A venue would not mitigate traffic speeds and noise; and, . Parking on Cameron A venue with the new alignment. The Planning Commission's discussion focused on the biological analysis of the Initial Study/Negative Declaration specifically the timing and duration of the site visit conducted by the applicant's consultant; eminent domain to construct the sidewalk along the Leut- hauser/Ketell properties; landscape maintenance; noise disclosures for the Livermore Airport operations and potential expansion; and tree removal.
