15. Page 10-22, what about separation on EI Charro Road between Livermore and Pleasanton??? [JIJWith the planned development of the Staples Ranch area and development on the Livermore side of EI Charro Road, it is not anticipated that a significant community separator will remain in this location. This is consistent with the Stoneridge Drive Specif c Plan which did not designate any "greenbelt " or community separator adjacent to 1-580. Policy 10 addresses the Chain of Lakes area and Stanley Boulevard since it is more likely that a community separator can be maintained in these areas. 16. What about better landscaping and maintenance at the Foothill exit off I-580? We talk about the unsightliness. [JIJUnder Policy 9, the following program could be added: "Program 9.6: Explore public/private partnerships to clean up and improve the appearance of freewav on/offramps at Foothill Road and I-580 and other locations as needed. " 17. What about annexing the Chain of Lakes into Pleasanton??? [JIJ The future Speciftc Plan for East Pleasanton will take a comprehensive look at the desirable City limit line and Urban Growth Boundary in this location. Expanding the City limit line to include planned urban development in this area would be desirable, but it may not be desirable to include the Chain of Lakes within the Ciry limits. Zone 7 Water Agency's adopted Stream Master Management Plan sees the Chain of Lakes used for flood management and water recharge, with potential recreational uses, enhanced bird and animal habitat, and trails. These uses are generally consistent with Pleasanton's goals for the area and since no significant development of the lake area is anticipated, incorporation may not be needed or desirable. 18. Work with Zone 7 and DSRSD to maintain landscaping azound their regional facilities??? [JIJ Regarding Zone 7 Water Agency maintenance of landscaping, please note Programs 7.2 and 7.3 to promote arroyo cleanup and improve landscaping, respectively. Regarding DSRSD, under Policy 11, the following program could be added: "Program 11.10.• Encouraee the Dublin San Ramon Services District to improve and maintain screening and landscaping surroundine its regional facilities along streets and near freeways. " 19. Page 10-25 under program 17.3, encourage the inclusion of shade structures as we get ten•ibly hot in the summer. [JIJ Staff recommends that the bullet under this program be amended to: "Outdoor seating and shade structures" 20. What about public water fountains? [JIJ Staff recommends that drinking fountains also be added to Program 17.3. 21. Page 10-27 should we be discussing the addition of staging areas with adequate parking and picnic azeas for Open Space projects? [JIJ That concept should be addressed in the Draft Conservation and Open Space Element. Program 11.3 in that Element discusses public accessibility. Staff recommends that an additional program is added to state: "Provide adequate parking and staging areas for open space access and include facilities such as picnic areas. restrooms and water. " 22. Page 10-28, Public Art, as we amass additional public art that hangs in an individual building, we should have a yearly event that brings public art together for the public to see all at once. They may never visit the building where the art is because they don't know it is there?
