Minutes Planning Commission 12/12/84 there will be congestion and unacceptable levels of traffic if it is not connected. Right-of-way width for Stanley Boulevard between First Street and Main STreet was discussed between Commissioners Lindsey, Getty, Chairman Doherty and Mr. Warnick. Mr. Warnick indicated that 84 feet is needed for a 64 foot street. Mr. Warnick explained that the three year capital improvement program doesn't include the connection from Main Street to Stanley Boulevard. The next budget will consider a five year capital improvement plan instead of three and he would expect that this extension would appear in it. Commission Innes asked what would be done to make the area safe until Del Valle Parkway is extended east to Stanley Boulevard. The public hearing was opened. George Spiliotopoulos, one of the principals, 5638 San Jose Drive, Pleasanton presented their proposal. He presented slides of the area reviewing the names and addresses of the residents. He then presented slides of other developed multi-unit areas to give the Commission and audience an idea as to the quality of development which they propose to take place. He thanked the members of the staff who have worked with them concerning this development. Merlie Miller, 3231 Vineyard Avenue, Space 111, Hacienda Mobile Home Park, felt that this area could handle the High Density Residential development because of its particular location. He urged approval of the general plan and zoning change. Frank Auf der Maur, 4558 Bernal Avenue, owns the property next to the project. He urged approval of the proposal. The City needs apartments and the area lends itself well to them. Joe Madden, 1544 Santa Rita Road, supported this development and commended Messrs. Spiliotopoulos and Hirst. He felt a bike lane would have to be included on this section of Stanley Boulevard. He understands the height of fences will be determined as a result of an acoustical study. He called the Commission's attention to the buffer between his property and the proposed site. He is confident that when the time comes the Planning Commission will determine the depth of the buffer and be reasonable and fair and recognize that the buffer zone will continue to other residential properties next to his. Bill Lenson, 3950 Stanley Boulevard, stated the project is very nice. The project, however, is not the real issue. An 84 ft. right-of-way will probably take two-thirds of his driveway without a bike path. He felt something has to be done with the traffic situation right now. It takes him 45 seconds to 1-1/2 minutes to get across to Main Street at 7:30am. There are 20-50 cars backed up going to the High School. He felt the entire Del Valle Parkway extension issue should be reviewed foregoing - 8 - . _ ..__.. ._ _. _..T. _._ ..._
