_PU__D_-99-101_Stanley_Partners <br />Application of Stanley Partners for development plan approval to <br />construct a multi-building, approximately 213,000 square foot <br />retail and service commercial complex to be located on an <br />approximately 21.4 acre site located on the north side of <br />Stanley Boulevard between First Street and Valley Avenue. <br />Zoning f or the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - <br />Commercial District. <br />Mr. Swift presented the staff report, stating that both cases <br />would be presented as one. Staff's recommendation is far denial <br />of both cases. <br />Chairman Michelotti said separate action would be taken on the <br />two cases. <br />Mr. Swift was requested to clarify staff's recommendation. He <br />did so at length for the Commission. <br />Commissioner Hovingh discussed the size of proposed supermarket <br />with Mr. Swift, comparing the other markets in the City. Staff <br />feels there is no need for another supermarket at that location. <br />Commissioner Tarver asked Mr. Swift if the Romley Center were <br />not in existence if he would be in favor of the proposed <br />supermarket. Mr. Swift said if that were so another supermarket <br />would be feasible. <br />The public hearing was opened. <br />Robert Kantor, 1914 Franklin, No. 744, Oakland, President of <br />Stanley Partners, represented the application. He went into <br />great detail regarding the project and its background. He said <br />he has talked to the surrounding property owners and he thought <br />they were in agreement to the project. He said that his <br />partners and attorney are also present tonight. <br />Commissioner Hovingh asked Mr. Kantor what other project he has <br />constructed in Pleasanton. Mr. Kantor noted the Hopyard Center <br />next to the Sports Park. <br />Harvey Levine, 7424 troll Center Parkway, attorney for the <br />project, also represented the application. He stated that he <br />was troubled with the staff report and questioned their reasons <br />for not favoring a commercial area with a supermarket. He noted <br />a number of satellite businesses such as cleaners, shoe repair, <br />deliveries and accessories that would probably locate in the <br />complex . <br />Tom Esoyd, architect for the project, 2644 Bay Shore Road, Palo <br />Alto, also represented the application. He described the <br />project in detail. He felt this was a difficult area (Stanley <br />Hlvd./railroad crossings) to develop. He spoke of the traffic <br />light and existing traffic situation on Stanley and Calif ornia. <br />Page 11 <br />
