Minutes Planning Commissio, 12/11/85 PUD-89-12, Falcon Development Application of Falcon Development Company for rezoning from nA~~ (Agricultural) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) District and for development plan approval for a 158 unit residential development on approximately 21.8 acre site located at the eastern terminus of West Las Positas Boulevard. Mr. Swift presented the staff report indicating that Condition No. 6 can be changed to "That an alternative emergency access roadway acceptable to the Director of Public Works ...."; Condition No. 16 can be changed to reflect one quarter of the cost of the bridge not to exceed $150,000 as opposed to $300,000; and that Condition No. 20 be modified to now read "That the developer take action necessary within the tract to remove the property from the special flood hazard area (Zone A) as shown on the Flood Hazard Boundary Map of the City of Pleasanton".

They realize a bridge is necessary somewhere across the arroyo, but they will be paying $700-800 per unit as part of their long term agreement and believe funds needed can be taken from these fees after they are paid. He did not feel an additional amount of funding is necessary or appropriate from Falcon Development. Larry Bartelson, MacKay & Somps, represented Falcon Development. He reviewed the water line proposed and indicated they agree to participate in the cost of this. He did not believe a temporary emergency access road complete with shoulder's etc. should be required of this development. The cost to complete this would involve a lot of dollars as well as the use of a five acre parcel from the County. Richard Martin, 3440 West Las Positas (corner of Martin Avenue) asked why the bridge couldn't be further east.
