area. She then said the ratio between mobile and condominium units vs single-family is 58~. She said there is no fire station or other public services offered to the area. She indicated someone should take a long-hard look at this matter. James Griffin, 3036 Chardonnay Drive, spoke in opposition to the proposal. He said the units are not as affordable as Amador Meadows which won the previous competition. He stated concerns with the enforcement of CC&Rs, size of units, lack of parks for the area and that the fact that the neighbors will have an easement through one anothers property. He said the proposal is an excessive use of the property. He asked that more land be given between the units. He mentioned other areas where the units were small but the property owners were given enough room to add on if they so desired, San Lorenzo, etc. Robert Kenny, 3152 Chardonnay, had concerns with lack of recreation area in the vintage Hills area in general and that the Vintage Hi11s schools are now overcrowded, Police Department response could be slowed. He said a child was hit by a car on Chardonnay just recently. He said he was taxed with many conditions on his request for a use permit appli- cation heard earlier in the evening and understands Pleasanton wants to maintain their high quality of life. Frank Belecky, 892 Madeira Street, said he had spoken at the City Council meeting of October 12, 1982, and stated they have been betrayed concerning this project. Vice Chairperson Jamieson said that these matters should be brought up again with City Council. He said he doesn't believe this is affordable housing and is not compatible with the area because the houses across the street from this proposal are four times larger. Mr. Belecky indicated that high density creates a higher degree of crime and doesn't see how Vineyard Avenue can be improved to accommo- date traffic without removing peoples' homes. He said he feels frustrated as this project has been rejected twice and is coming up again. Commissioner Doherty said that the Commission, a couple of years ago, did a site survey of the proper place for manufactured housing. He asked Mr. Belecky to state whether or not the current mobile home parks are considered good neighbors. Mr. Belecky said they are very good neighbors. He said however, a couple of years ago they had some outsiders intruding and had to take action to get this stopped. Mr. Belecky said there is enough high density in this particular area. He suggested that additional high density be scattered through- out the City. He said that with a minor earthquake, or other reason to evacuate the area, Vineyard Avenue would be clogged up. Nancy Storch again spoke saying she felt uncomfortable with a one mile long strip of mobile homes. She said this is not aesthetically pleasing. She said she didn't want to see a ghetto in that part of the City. Vice Chairperson Jamieson pointed out that there is no longer any restriction allowed in the state to discriminate against people with children. -18-
