Hopyard Road now occurring that this street will be easier to travel in a month or so. Mr. Pastor asked about the trees shown in the development and whether or not fully grown species would be planted. Chairperson Getty indicated that most development plan approvals require 15 gallon trees. Mr. Harris reviewed condition number 2 proposed for the development which referred to tieing in development of the business park with the necessary traffic improvements. Commissioner Lindsey asked the staff to elaborate with regard to Item No. 4. He said the City Council and Planning Commission would still have control over all of the buildings. Mr. Harris indicated that the pictures presented tonight are not receiving approval but the conceptual plan is and that all buildings would have to come before the City Council, Planning Commission or Design Review Board for final review and public hearing. Jackie Sullivan spoke to the 25 year time schedule for development. Mr. Callahan said he would be surprised if it were 90~ built out in less than 20 years and explained that the traffic reports spoke to the worse case situations. Mrs. Sullivan then addressed air quality. Dr. Hogan, Earth Metrics, explained the requirements of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, EPA and others. Mrs. Sullivan said she wanted to be sure that the quality of living in Pleasanton is maintained and asked what assurances she could have with this regard. Mr. Callahan stated they have worked out an agreement with the staff that each building in the project must go first before the Planning Commission and then City Council on a case-by-case basis all the way through and if there is a problem caused, it would be remedied. He stated that they have learned from their mistakes and no problems will occur. Mrs. Sullivan asked if she would be heard if she did come down and speak on each building. She said that the people in the audience have been completely ignored. Mr. Callahan said they have a tremendous investment in the property and public improvements and they will do nothing to jeopardize their interests. Chairperson Getty addressed the various agency requirements with regard to air pollution. Mr. Swift said there are oxidents in the air right now which come from other Bay Area cities. He said perhaps the Planning Commission might want to address this. Mrs. Sullivan then addressed the West Las Positas overcrossing and asked if the City would continue to recommend the widening as originally proposed. Chairperson Getty said at the present time it will be two lanes. -13-
