Minutes Planning Commissic 10/23/85 Commissioner Lindsey asked Mr. Baxley if he was in basic agreement with the proposal as submitted. Mr. Baxley indicated they are, provided it is as staff recommended and they can get together with the developer prior to City Council. They want to limit development to single-story. Commissioner Michelotti asked Mr. Baxley whether or not they have suffered any drainage problems. Mr. Baxley responded they have incurred drainage problems only where the wall is not complete. Henry Hattan, 3963 Fairlands Drive, lives adjacent to the development. He read a petition and stated they basically do not object to the development if their specific concerns are addressed. They are 1) soundwall - They want it 12' and aesthetically please both to Pimlico and on the residential side. The wall should not terminate at a property line but rather carried out across the property so that it connects with Santa Rita Road; 2) aesthetics - They want all of the buildings to be architecturally pleasing and compatible with the Pleasanton Meadows buildings with regard to roof lines and other materials. They want the roof of the proposed structures to be shielded from Pimlico and the residential side as well. They do not want to look down on air conditioning units and ducts; 3) - uses - This item has already been addressed; 4) loading docks, and trash bins - They want these structures in the front and not in the rear. Commissioner Lindsey asked if the specific design of the building and wall would be reviewed by the design review board.

Commissioner Wellman addressed the location of the dumpster as shown on the plan. Mr. Hatton stated that their concern with the trash enclosure relates to noise and they have already been told verbally of the screening plan. Commissioner Michelotti agreed with the two previous commissioners that the plan as submitted does not have sufficient detail. This development will be at one of Pleasanton's main entrance. Ed Roquette, 3436 Windsor Court, past president of the homeowners association, felt the project would have a major impact on the area. Inasmuch as there are a large number of undeveloped acres in the area it would make sense to him to look at the entire picture instead of piecemeal as is being done. He had concerns with traffic flows and congestion currently at the existing McDonalds site. James Miller, 3336 Camelot Court, lives on the corner where the wall would stop. He did not favor a 12' wall. He felt a wall would be an eyesore no matter how attractive it is. Eucalyptus trees make a better buffer than the wall would. Noise in his .. T
