Minutes Planning Commissio. January 9, 1985 circulation would exist turning left onto a half street.. Commissioner Lindsey stated that the main entrance to the development would be on a half street. Vice Chairman Wilson expressed concern with a fire truck making a full circle to get to the back units. Commissioner INnes said Bernal Avenue should be completed south to the School District Administration Office entrance. Mr. Warnick stated that the project does not have Growth Management approval and the railroad tracks will probably be removed in two years. Commissioner Getty asked about the connection from Main Street to Bernal Avenue and when this would go to public hearing. Mr. Warnick indicated that everything is just in the process of being put together. Commissioner Lindsey discussed Condition No. 5. Commissioner Innes indicated that Mr. Howell has valid point, their negotiations might be jeopardized if this situation changes. Mr. Warnick explained that it would be possible to have 'no occupancy' until the street goes through. Vice Chairman Wilson explained that originally Hacienda's buildings were not to have been constructed until the assessment district was in place and it is not in place yet and buildings are occupied. Commissioner Innes discussed no construction 'until a contract had been let for the extension of Bernal Avenue.' Vice Chairman Wilson then suggested perhaps the condition should read until construction has started on Bernal Avenue. Commissioner Lindsey still felt a full street should be required. Commissioner Lindsey did not want to hold up the project because a fully built street was not constructed because a project like this one is needed in Pleasanton. He would go along with one-half street. He was in disagreement of some of the other comments of the commissioners concerning one-half street. Commissioner Innes didn't feel it would be any tougher for a developer to negotiate for a full street than a half street on the 0.44 acres. Mr. Warnick stated that the Commission would be taking away leverage which the developers has. Mr. Harris stated that theoretically a two lane street can handle 10,000 trips per day. This development will not generate that many trips. A one-half of a four-lane street is more than sufficient to handle this project as well as the development proposed for the senior citizens. A motion was made by Commissioner Innes, seconded by Commissioner Wilson that case PUD-84-21 be recommended for approval subject to the conditions contained in the staff report changing Condition No. 2 to reflect no construction can begin on the development until the 0.44 acre San Francisco Water Department property and the 40 foot wide access strip owned by the City of Pleasanton until EVH has the ownership of those properties; Condition N0. 5 to eliminate "...the eastern one-half" in the third line; Condition No. 9 to eliminate "...eastern one-half of the..."; and add Conditions No. 18 and 19 that "No construction begins until construction begins on Bernal Avenue to Sunol Boulevard and that - 8 - ,.
