Page 4 <br />Minutes <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />8/24/83 <br />Commissioner Wilson then received a loud applause. Commissioner <br />Wilson acknowledged the efforts and work of the Evergreen Branch <br />and others who worked so hard on the Century House renovation. Ms. <br />Bengtson said they will soon have figures available as to the total <br />donated from the community and others concerning funds received. <br />Commissioner Doherty then expressed thanks to Ms. Bengtson for <br />her excellent report. He indicated it would be good if the <br />newspapers did a report on parks in the City as a lot of people <br />would be shocked at what is available in this town to the citizens <br />unless they happen to live in a specific neighborhood <br />where there is a park. He stated that he has recently taken <br />a heliocopter ride over Pleasanton and Sports Park is really <br />impressive. He stated he had visitors from San Diego who couldn't <br />believe a City like Pleasanton would have such a facility. <br />Chairman Jamieson commented that there was no press in the audience <br />tonight. He then announced that Item 7b would be heard next. <br />REPORT ON GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR REGIS HOMES SITE <br />Mr. Harris reviewed the staff report and stated the subject site came <br />about as a result of an unnecessary cloverleaf set aside and that the <br />proposed interchange was redesigned. A traffic report done by Wilbur <br />Smith Associates shows there will be a traffic problem regardless of <br />the use of the property. He indicated modifications can be made <br />to reduce the level of congestion. If the property contained <br />medium density the level of service would remain at E. The report <br />shows very little percentage difference whether the property is <br />developed at medium or high density residential. <br />Commissioner Lindsey asked if there are any applications on the <br />property now pending. Mr. Harris indicated there are no proposals <br />currently on the site. Commissioner Wilson addressed growth management <br />approvals to conform to the 1986 benchmark on the General Plan. <br />Mr. Harris stated the numbers are still out and units are potentially <br />available between now and 1986. Mr. Swift stated that Art Schumacher <br />of Stoneson is currently negotiating with a Committee of the <br />Council for a long term agreement for this property as well as <br />for the 158 unit condominium complex. Chairman Jamieson <br />asked which property would be covered under the negotiations. <br />Mr. Swift responded that it would cover this site as well as <br />the property immediately to the west. Chairman Jamieson asked about <br />sewer hookups. Mr. Swift reported that Stoneson has let the <br />RAP and probably the design review expire with regard to the <br />158 condominiums as he does not want to build what has been approved. <br /> <br />
