MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION 6/13/84 Page 9 Ron Peck, Hayward, represented Cooper, Fezzari, Lauer, Selway, Singleton and Wiemken et al. He thanked the Commission for continuing the public hearing. Most of the persons who he represents desire to speak themselves but cannot be present tonight. He expressed concerns with substantial traffic increases on the residents of the Mohr Martin Area. The quality of life style will change if traffic is allowed to impact the area. He felt the quality of life is just as important to the people of the Mohr-Martin Area as to the people of Pleasanton Meadows. If Martin AVenue becomes a major thoroughfare, it will undermind the rural neighborhood. Potentially the proposed change would allow gravel trucks down Martin-Mohr to Santa Rita Road. Regarding quick emergency access, the development going on at the west end has roads running through it. Commissioner Innes suggested that Mr. Peck tell the persons he represents that comments should be made in writing and sent to the staff at the earliest possible time. Carol Edgerton, 4039 West Las Positas, is a renter and concerned about childrens' safety with regard to traffic on West Las Positas Boulevard. Martin Inderbitzen, 62 West Neal Street, represented the Molinaro's. Their offical position is "no comment." He felt the matter needs much more discussion concerning the impact on the area as a whole. They will be represented September 12, 1984 when the matter is considered again. They asked that they be contacted independent of Bissell & Karn. Chairman Doherty asked that a written form of communication be made to staff so that this is noted. Max Gahrahmat, 3476 Edward Avenue, Santa Clara, CA 95050 (408-988-2990), had concerns with the width of the road, who would pay for it and the fact that Chu Choi et al haven't been consulted concerning this matter at all. Las Positas may be a problem but consideration should be given as to whether it should go. They feel that there is no benefit to him and others concerning the proposed road changes. Commissioner Innes asked if Mr. Gahkahmat represented the property owners. Mr. Gahrahmat responded that he is a partial owner. Al Wiemken, Trenery Drive, indicated that the notice sent had no mention of Martin Avenue on it. The curving of Stoneridge Drive makes a lot of sense, but he was concerned about the Martin area having 1000 trips per day when it now has about 30. It is a rural area, all homes facing Martin Avenue have no fencing in the front. They don't want Martin to be a main drag. They are concerned with the possibility of gravel trucks coming to the area. He felt there were a lot of unanswered questions. He indicated he would recap all of his previous comments, put them into one document and submit them. Herb Singleton, 2207 Martin Avenue, represented the three northern most units of Martin Avenue where it deadends into what used to be the Thorpe property. He addressed emergency vehicular access into the area. He didn't feel this was a problem at all. The Chairman again announced that this matter is being continued to September 12, 1984, 8:OOpm, City Council Chambers and urged the folks in the audience to present their concerns in writing to the staff at the earliest possible time. -9- .. _~... . ~w _.. _ _ .._. _.._. _ __
