MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION 10/26/83 Page 14 Burt Duke, 124 Castlewood Drive, has served on the Planning Commission in Livermore and on several industrial general plan committees. He urged approval of the general plan amendment and asked that the project proposed be allowed to go forward. He felt the Hacienda Business Park was the finest development he has seen. Bernie Libra, 1140 Concord Street, urged the development be approved to allow the children to be able to work in town when they grow up. She felt Hopyard Road was beautiful and is enjoying all of the development of the area. Kate Wellman, 4565 Shearwater, aesthetically she is very pleased with Hoyard Road and Santa Rita Road, she appreciates the buildings. She said she didn't know how many people are on the CBG committee but all of the people she has talked to are in favor of Hacienda Business Park. She urged approval of the general plan amendment. John Davis, President of Air Systems, 1228 Quarry Lane, explained his business and urged approval of the Hacienda Business Park and general plan amendment. He indicated the payroll to date just in his work at the Hacienda Business Park and indicated the number of construction jobs the project has provided. He said he has worked with Joe Callahan and the systems he has installed in their buildings are superior. He said they put in the highest air systems of any developer he has ever worked with, they being state-of-the-art systems with the lowest energy costs.

He said they spent hundreds and hundreds of hours and would like to think it was an activity not lightly taken when keeping the Hacienda property industrial. He said that is why he is so pleased to have the CPS-Prudential people developing the area in such a manner. He felt that to him, it was a dream come true. Michelle Dutra, 1695 Calle Santiago, spoke in favor of both the applications. She said Hacienda Business Park deserves a round of applause. Ed Kinney, 5493 Greenfield, served on the City Council 1972-76 and on Zone 7 1976-80 he has been mayor and chairman of Zone 7.
