8/8/84 Planning Commission Page 9 Richard Frisbee, Environmental Center, indicated that there will be a recreation center, four tennis courts, swimming pool, cabana building and other amenities. Two-thirds of the site will remain common open spaces. Only about 10% of the site will be used for buildings and vehicles. There will be three residential land uses; paired single family dwellings, patio homes and 15,000 sq. ft. to one acre sites. He then presented three alternatives for the connection of the project. Commissioner Innes asked about the proposal for sidewalks throughout the development. Mr. Fairfield reviewed the plan. Bill Herlihy, 816 Abbie St. represented the Pleasnton Heights Owners Association. They have concerns with traffic generation and the potential tying of Bernal. Avenue to Angela. On June 18 they met with Mr. Fairfield and invited Vintage Hills Homeowners Association and residents of the Old Towne development. In general Pleasanton Heights is in agreement with the plan. iii; asi:ed that Bernal Avenue not be tied into Angela street for sure. He stated that Angela is a narrow one lane street and they do not wish to impact it further. On a personal note he did not wish to see Bernal Avenue have four lanes because it would be too tight. Mr. Warnick assured Mr. Herlihy that there is sufficient width to provide two 11 ft. lanes. He suggested that perhaps a consultant should be hired to work with the people concerning the eastern end of Pleasanton and the connection of Angela Street. Commissioner Innes asked Mr. Herlihy if Bernal Avenue were connected to Old Towne if he would still not want to see Angela connected to Bernal Avenue. Mr. Herlihy said this is correct. Chairman Doherty had concern with two churches being within one and one-half blocks from one another and the traffic they generate. Circulation is not good to and from these facilities. Warren Harding, 3789 Grillo Court, moved to Vintage to enjoy the hills. Personally he would hate to see the plan go through but would like to make a suggestion that Bordeau go through to the new development. There is a need to have all of the access they can get available for emergency purposes. He suggested that the homes being built adjacent to Vintage Hills be limited to single-family and single-story units. The small cul-de-sac behind Grillo Court should be eliminated. Regarding Lots 24/25 he would like the bulk eliminated. He asked that trees be preserved because sometimes the City gets careless in cutting down trees. He would like to see Kottinger Park extended. It is a picturesque creek with lots of trees on it. There is a problem with water pressure-:and he would like this addressed. John Joel, 3771 Grillo Court, addressed density. He felt the proposal was one of a density transfer. He indicated that the lots abutting his are much smaller than the R-1-20 standards. He did not want two story units behind his home. He did not want the land behind his home to be raised in height. He wished to have Kottinger Park extended and wanted some protection for the creek. Dave Clausen, 617 Windmill Lane, addressed the Commission as spokesperson for Old Towne: No one on Windmill Lane has heard of the development. He didn't keel that Pico Avenue (Bernal AVenue) was ever intended to be the I-680 offramp. They didn't believe that Pico Avenue was ever to be a major street like Hopyard Road and Santa Rita Road. -9- ~~.._ _ _. _____. _ . _ _ _. r _ ___-- , .__ .._._ ... _ _._...,. ,_..__.__ . h
