Minutes August 27, 1986 Planning Commission Mr. Wilcox, representing his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Wilcox, 3988 Stanley Boulevard, objected to the extension of Del Valle Parkway between First Street and Bernal Avenue. The existing "T"-shaped intersection would have to be made into a four-way intersection. Staff has indicated relieve to Vineyard Avenue or Bernal Avenue extension would be minimal. There is already a major intersection at Stanley Boulevard/California Street and other places. He asked that Del Valle Parkway not cut across the Cavestri property to Bernal Avenue. Rich Combs, discussed bike lanes throughout the City and the fact that at many locations a bike lane dumps bicycle traffic into other traffic. He asked that the Bernal Avenue extension be reviewed for bike paths. Also there is an extremely steep hill on Kottinger and a bike route should be given consideration in that area. Continuous bike paths are essential in his opinion. Bike paths are an integral part of TSM programs. PUBLIC SAFETY ELEMENT Ted Fairfield addressed Program 5.2 as reflected on page 8 of the staff report. He indicated he shares the goal but not the language. He indicated that if the policy is applied today, it would prohibit any development in Pleasanton. Mr. Lee stated the staff has amended language for this Program. PUBLIC FACILITIES ELEMENT Margaret Tracy, addressed water facilities as discussed in the EIR, Page 70. She stated that to meet the demand, 20% conservation will have to be attained. She urged no more development be projected into the future until something was on-line to get more water. There is currently no such facility being planned. In 1984 the per capita gallon per day usage was 160 and in March 1986 is 203, or 28.6% increase in usage. The American Rivers waters are tied up in litigation and will probably continue this way for another 15 years, therefore, is not a source of water. Further Zone 7 is only getting one half of the water for which they have a contract. Referring to Page VI-3 of the General Plan, she stated there is no guarantee in the future of the water supply. Page VI-4, 5 relating to water storage and VI-18 relating to water demand which indicates a large difference. Commissioner Innes then discussed the fact that there are no working plans to increase the water level in the area. Lynn Bowers, addressed Pages VI-17 and VI-18, Sewer System. He indicated he did not see any houses proposed in the area to justify extension of sewer improvements southerly on Foothill Road. He said the maximum number of homes which could ever be built would probably be about 20. The majority of the property is under public ownership of SFWD or EBRPD. Mr. Bowers stated that the property south of Verona Road to that developed on the "S" curve is optioned by EBRPD. Accordingly, he felt showing a major sewer line was premature and should be deleted. - 7 - _._.___...T....~.._ .. _.... ..__...._.. _.. ..__...., ... _ _... __. ..~.
