Minutes August 27, 1986 (as amended 9/3/86) Planning Commission General Plan tries to capture development credit by people who contributed to the assessment districts in the new category Rural Density Residential. Harvey Levine, 4637 Chabot Drive, thanked staff for including much of the work done by the Residential Review Committee (of which he was a member) in the proposed General Plan. Mr. Levine agreed with the comments made earlier of Mr. Fairfield. He asked that the General Plan be considered a 'general' document and not be too specific. He felt that through the PUD process and the good judgment of the Planning Commission and City Council specific plans can be addressed. He realizes staff's concerns in 'truth in advertising.' Commissioner Michelotti discussed Page 11-17, Program 6.3. She asked if any consideration was given to a teen center being included in the community centers. Mr. Lee stated this is a conceivable use. HOUSING ELEMENT Mark Evanoff, People for Open Space, supported the housing policy and recommends the incorporation of the Communities Facilities Alternative as a part of that policy statement as it will provide more housing, reduce traffic, etc. CIRCULATION ELEMENT Victor Bailey, 4565 Black Avenue, indicated he did not see the Valley Avenue extension on the exhibits. Mr. Lee indicated that Page II-37 shows this and the Del Valle Parkway extension. Mr. Bailey asked what would happen to the Del Valle Parkway. Mr. Swift indicated it would be developed in accordance with the recently approved plan. Mr. Bailey suggested that the right-of-way designation not be reduced on Del Valle Parkway as it has sufficient width to carry the planned traffic (8 lanes). Valley Avenue carries two thirds of the traffic, Black Avenue carries one third of the traffic and Del Valle doesn't carry any traffic at the current time. He indicated that 20 years ago the plans showed Del Valle Parkway being widened for additional traffic. Ted Fairfield addressed circulation with regard to Item No. 6, page 13, Information Report. Sunol Boulevard, First Street to I-680 - Widen to six-lane divided. He felt this would severely damage his property at 5510 Sunol Boulevard and that of his neighbors. Ron Rolph, representing TMI, discussed Item No. 9, page 13 of the Information Report. They hired TJKM to provide traffic numbers in this area. All agree the level of service will probably remain at A which does not call for modifications of on and off-ramps at Bernal/I-680. Mr. Lee indicated this is included because Caltrans has traffic goals other than just the City of Pleasanton's needs. It is not strictly a LOS related matter but also includes other safety aspects. - 6 - _._ _..,..__ _ _ _.____ _ . __. _ _._. __ .r _ .
