Minutes Planning Commission 12/12/84 the cost. He indicated his concerns are also those of Paul Vanderoovaart, his neighbor. He asked that if the project is approved the Arroyo be fenced off so that children cannot play down there. Mr. Harris explained that Del Valle Parkway has had a precise plan since 1966 which showed an 84 foot right-of-way. Mr. Lenson argued that this was in 1966 and now it is 1984 and the matter should be reviewed entirely. John Vanderoovart, 4300 Del Valle Parkway, explained that he built Mr. Lenson's and his brother's house and there was a precise plan showing the future alignment of Del Valle Parkway. He didn't believe that it was for 84 feet. He lives at one end of the Del Valle Parkway and his brother lives at the other.

Bob Wilcox, 3988 Stanley Boulevard, spoke for his parents who own the property. They have now changed their minds and are totally opposed to this project and the proposed general plan amendment. He opposes the widening of the street as proposed as it would destroy the flavor of the existing residential neighborhood. Approving a high density residential project would set a precedent. He asked that no projects be approved for this area until Valley is punched through. A six foot wide landscape buffer at the curb doesn't make any sense to him. John Regalotto,3900 Stanley Boulevard, stated that while the applicants have done a good job, his particular home doesn't have the kind of space required to give up right of way. As it now stands his front steps would be in the middle lane of the road. Commissioner Lindsey asked Mr. Warnick to comment on the road going to Mr. Regalotto's front porch.
