Minutes Planning Commissio September 11, 1985 Commissioner Michelotti asked about the size of the lots in the area. Mr. Swift reviewed the various structures and sizes of lots. Commissioner Michelotti stated that she thought the intention of the conditions as stated in the proposed General Plan amendment is to encourage combining lots so that development would be possible. John Payne, 3689 Pimlico, spoke in favor of redesignating the north side of Stanley Boulevard to High Density Residential. He felt it was in the best interest of everyone, including the City. He didn't feel that Conditions number one and two should be included. There is no way of telling when Valley Avenue and Del Valle Parkway will be completed. He felt the conditions to be open ended. Mr. Payne didn't not feel there would be a significant adverse effect concerning traffic. Commissioner Innes did not agree. Bill Lenson, 3950 Stanley Boulevard (south side of Stanley Boulevard), stated he has read the report thoroughly and agreed with the staff's conclusion except he was not in favor of alternative plan "A". He felt the plan was generally short-sited. He felt the report was conflicting with regard to mitigation of noise. He felt that a four-lane 84' right-of-way should be considered. He further felt the Payne project is being discriminated against with regard to the conditions imposed on is project which were not imposed on Country Roads. He stated that the Del Valle Parkway extension proposed is the worse planning ever done in Pleasanton. He saw no reason to displace the mobile home units. He suggested that the City apply the conditions as suggested and not allow any construction whatsoever until they are met. Commissioner Lindsey asked Mr. Lenson that assuming the Del Valle Parkway extension is not completed, but the Valley Avenue extension to Bernal Avenue does occur and traffic doesn't exceed the traffic that now exists and there is a three lane, in your opinion as a resident would that enhance your situation or make it worse. Mr. Lenson didn't feel it would be any better. Earl Augusta, owner of property at 3963 Stanley Boulevard, agreed with all of the comments of Mr. Lenson. He stated he is opposed to High Density Residential on the north side of Stanley Boulevard but if the area is changed, he would like his property included. He presented a letter to the Commission for their review. Dave Peterson, 4013 Stanley Boulevard, was opposed to the proposals. He wanted the area to stay rural as long as possible. He expressed concerns with traffic from Vintage Hills coming to the area when Del Valle Parkway is extended. He had no desire in having his property changed to High Density Residential. He stated that since Country Roads was approved the speed limit on Stanley Boulevard has increased from 25mph to 30mph. He stated that the State of California speed limits in Residential areas is 25mph. Further he felt that the Police Department does not patrol the area as often as they used to. Commissioner Lindsey asked Mr. Peterson the width of his property across the middle. Mr. Peterson stated it is approximately 100 feet. - 3 - ~r
