,,,"°'° CITY of PLEASANTON <br />Planning Commission <br />MINUTES ~OF REGULAR MEETING. <br />DGte : June 24, 1975 <br />Time : 8:0o P.M. <br />PIGCe: Pleasanton Justice Court <br />continuing efforts to encourage them <br />towards further development, within <br />the parameters of the character es- <br />tablished for the downtown, should <br />be stressed. <br />It was felt that repaving of Main <br />Street may be a factor of encourage- <br />ment to landowners. Discussion <br />centered on the south end of town, <br />and the Edgren property, which Com- <br />missioner Garrigan thought was the <br />key to development in that sector. <br />At this point, Commissioner Garrigan <br />brought up the matter of Pleasanton <br />Greens and the fact that the City <br />got burned bad on this one, since it <br />has not turned out to be housing for <br />low-income people. Also the dust <br />problem on construction needs to be <br />controlled. Secretary Harris in- <br />formed the Commission that no changes <br />had been made in the design of the <br />development. <br />John Bowling then told the Commission <br />of several beautification projects <br />underway for the downtown. The Rotar <br />has donated wine barrels which will <br />be turned into trash containers and <br />will replace the candy-striped litter <br />cans which have-not worked out too <br />successfully. In addition, the <br />Women's Club has donated nine benches <br />and specific locations for them will <br />be picked. The Chairman cautioned <br />that the Police Department may need <br />to be aware of the locations, since <br />an ill-placed bench could produce a <br />loitering problem. <br />-7- <br />
