Chairperson Getty indicated that the developer is aware of those problems and has met with the homeowners associations in these two areas. Mr. Pearson said these problems have to be faced before City Council acts on the project. John Innes: Said that Callahan is in business to make money and has spent much money on the business park. He said the EIR is the only study done by City staff and, therefore, some of the others may be biased. He believes that the impacts on the tri-valley area are significant. He said there is construction going on in the Bishop ranch area of San Ramon, Livermore Airport Park, etc. He said the area east of Santa Rita Road is in the sphere of influence of the City. He said the various studies take into account cities within 30 minutes and Orinda is at least 25 minutes away during a weekend morning. He said if these types of errors are existing, what types of errors exist regarding the internal street system and proposed interchanges. He said housing is a problem and there is now a con- flict of statements in the General Plan. He spoke to the 1992 buildout. He said this could be a legal problem. He asked the City's liability if the assessment districts are formed and the developer doesn't finish building. He said this is not addressed in any reports. He said he would like to see a Hacienda Business Park in the town but it needs to be in balance with residential. He said carte blanche approval should not be given to this large project. He didn't want to see economics dictate densities. He further asked if it was possible to have a change in procedure whereby the public hearing would be open to the proposed General Plan changes and Planned Unit Development at the same time since they directly relate to one another. He said many people left early after speaking on the General Plan. Jack Hovingh proposed one entrance for the business park, that it be mandatory that buses be used, that the developer sponsor a local transportation system. Pete Jacobson stated that trucks going down Hopyard Road when the building project is taking place should use Johnson Drive and not Hopyard Road. He said trucks will still come down Hopyard Road and lights will be shining everywhere. Mr. Callahan said the light fixtures will be moved away from the houses. Mr. Jacobson spoke to noise and traffic concerns. He said there was an item on the ballot in the past which was voted down regarding sewer, now there is the LAVWMA pipeline. Chairperson Getty indicated she believed the vote of the people included how large it would be. Mr. Walker, City Manager, said the size of the pipeline was the issue and that Livermore and Pleasanton were under a mandate to correct their sewer problem. Chairperson Getty indicated that there will be an acoustical study which has not yet been completed which will give direction in solving some of the noise problems. -17- _._.. .., ..._.... .. ....T...
