with the ratio proposed and feel it is not sufficient and that it <br />may create some problems for the shopping center if the Drachman <br />method is used and that they do not support the Drachman system and <br />that the parking ratio is a definite concern. Mr. Cox stated that <br />they have reached agreement that if it is ever concluded there is a <br />parking problem from their development that they would remedy the <br />situation. Commissioner Lindsey asked ho~v this would be done. <br />Commissioner Wilson asked if there are any tenants proposed for <br />one of the Daon buildings yet. Mr. Cox said no. Commissioner <br />Doherty spoke to the parking ratio and that allowed for other <br />developments. He said he would not want to grant more parking <br />for this development than for others in the north Pleasanton area <br />and would not like to grant a special privilege not enjoyed by others <br />in similar and like situations. <br />Mr. Cox rebutted the parking concerns referring to the fact that <br />this is a regional development. Commissioner Doherty argued that <br />San Francisco, Palo Alto and San Ramon and many other areas are <br />not Pleasanton and that the Commission wants everyone to be suc- <br />cessful and has an obligation to encourage success. He said he <br />supports the concerns of Mr. Harris regarding parking. Commissioner <br />Wilson asked if there is any place the Planning Commissioners could <br />go and see a group of brick buildings. Mr. McVicar spoke to the <br />Levi Strauss Plaza in San Francisco at Battery and Sansome Streets. <br />Commissioner Lindsey indicated he is not comfortable with the ultimate <br />impact on traffic and circulation if the entire project is completed <br />as planned. <br />Mr. Harris stated he needs to know the impact of the latest proposal <br />along with other peripheral and future development of the shopping <br />center will not be greater than the original figures show. He said in <br />1988 there will be intersections with from 'A' - 'E±' traffic levels <br />and that if these figures are off slightly we may be in trouble. <br />He said there hasn't been time to carefully analyze this and there <br />are concerns with the square footage being proposed. He said <br />Stoneridge Mall Road appears to work but what about the freeway <br />interchange pertaining to I-580/I-680 and the North Pleasanton <br />Traffic Study. <br />Chairperson Getty asked if time is of the essence. Mr. Cox stated <br />they would like to move as expeditiously as possible but would address <br />the City's concerns. <br />Commissioner Doherty said he would think the developer would like the <br />matter to be continued from tYie 16th and held over until January so <br />that data could be updated. Mr. Cox stated he has noted the <br />concerns with traffic. Chairperson Getty said she would prefer not <br />to hear the matter until a complete and accurate traffic study has <br />been prepared. <br />-7- <br /> <br />
