Chairperson Wilson asked Mr. Martin to point out his property on the map and Mr. Martin did so. He stated that the Sphere of Influence is only 80~ of the land so it would only be approximately 32 acres. Commissioner Doherty asked who was directly south of the Martin property. Mr. Harris stated he didn't know but Mr. Martin stated he believed it is property owned by Mutual Lands. Bill Gale, 62 W. Neal Street, attorney for Mr. Nevis, owner of a 15 acre parcel on Vineyard immediately east of the nursery spoke. Mr. Gale explained the zoning of the area. He stated he urged the Planning Commission to recommend 2-1/2 acre lots or to make no recommendation at all. Mr. Gale explained that the properties are borken up into a variety of acreage; one acre, two acres, 2-1/2 acres, 10 acres. He stated he has a letter signed by City Council that the City of Pleasanton has no objection to one 2-1/2 and one 7 acre parcel of land. Mr. Gale then read the letter. Clifford Bates, 3153 Vineyard Avenue, spoke. He said his property is 500 ft. east of the City limits and asked what the future was for the northern sites. Chairperson Wilson explained that the County wasn't asking for a recommendation on the northern site but just on the southern side based on the fact that the northern property is choice agriculture land. Mr. Harris stated that annexation would have to precede services into the area. Mr. Bates stated that his chicken business isn't profitable anymore. He stated that sewers are only 500 ft.•from his property. Chairperson Wilson stated that this is a County Referral and a report by them, and not the City's report. Commissioner Doherty stated that perhaps the north side should be considered for reasonable affordable housing. He spoke to the land use committee's study regarding the area. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Jamieson stated that since there are areas developed as low as 1 acre with septic, it seems to him a recommendation of 2-1/2 acre parcels should be made rather than 5 acres. Commissioner Doherty said the County asked the City about 90 acres but doesn't believe that precludes the City from making other recom- mendations. He stated he agrees with Commissioner Jamieson's suggestion of 2-1/2 acre lots and that the Bates property and others be looked at for a future mobile home park site. -7- _..._. _.,_ __..._..... ,_._.... _...__. _.._..... .__._......._. __..._ .._._. _.. __.,r._._.__._.. _.. _._.
