Hopyard and 64 dBA is not acceptable. He urged more time be allowed for the City to vote on this proposal. David Eller, 3797 Oregon Way, Livermore, started to speak on the development plan and it was suggested by the Chairperson that he address this matter at the public hearing for the proposed planned unit development. Robert Reid: Felt it might be helpful if someone addressed the Com- mission who was involved with the General Plan since its inception. He indicated he had been one of the original 100 person committee appointed by the City to work out the future plans of the City. He said to his knowledge there had been two subsequent committees formed. He indicated that it is gratifying for this kind of project to come to the City because all three committees' recommendations with regard to this area are as currently proposed. He said it is to the City's advantage to deal with one developer as opposed to dealing with a number of developers. He indicated the people of Pleasanton would benefit from this project. He further said the developer will have to adhere to the conditions set forth. Dagmar Fulton: She indicated she used to own many acres of where Pleasanton Valley subdivision is now located.

She said as a matter of fact that the proposal was for gravel excavating. She said the General Plan is not cast in concrete but is a guide for the people. She indicated that with regard to the Hacienda development it is great that it will be spaced over an approximately 25 year period. She then said that there is no more agricultural in the Valley. She urged approval of the Hacienda Business Park and stated 'let's get on with the City's needs with a better tax base.' Susan McKee: She indicated that she respects Mrs. Fulton's views but does not agree with her on several points. She said when you tinker with the General Plan mistakes can be made and if changes are necessary the proposal should be brought before a larger body of people. She stated that it is the goal of the General Plan to have a balanced land use to protect the residential growth of the City. She stated she believes the Hacienda interchange should be built prior to any develop- ment and the use of Johnson Drive employed. Mrs. McKee further had -7-
