CITY of PLEASANTON <br />Planning Commission <br />MINUTE; OF REGU_AR MEETING. <br />Dot4 ~ November 21, 1973 <br />Titi18 = 7:30 P.M. <br />P~GC9i Pleasanton Justice Court <br />Mr. Harris commented that the State <br />Guidelines indicate that no building <br />for human occupancy may be construc- <br />ted within 50 feet of a fault trace <br />unless it can be established by <br />technically qualified people that no <br />danger exists. He did stress that <br />this point is very vague in the repo <br />from the State Division of Mines and <br />Geology. Chairman Pereira felt it <br />would be appropriate for the City to <br />request in writing from that public <br />body some precise definition regardi <br />that matter. Senior Planner Harris <br />stated this had been done. <br />The Chairman recalled that Section <br />2621 provided that once State geolo- <br />gists decide that a hazard area <br />exists, developers building in such <br />an area must convince the City of <br />the appropriateness of building there <br />who in turn must convince the State <br />geologists. The reply was that the <br />City only needed to be convinced. <br />The Senior Planner indicated a <br />question in point is the Pleasanton <br />Fault - that it may not exist south <br />of #580. The Division of Mines and <br />Geology indicates they are not sure <br />where the precise trace exists but <br />have taken a conservative approach <br />as to how far south it may run. <br />There was one point of disagreement, <br />which is discussed on Page 22, No. 4, <br />pertaining to structural surveys on <br />all non-wood frame buildings in the <br />planning area constructed prior to <br />1961. Initially a blanket statement <br />was made requiring surveys of all <br />structures in the area. The CAC <br />disagreed and recommended that only <br />all potentially dangerous buildings <br />in use-public or private-be surveyed. <br />">;~ <br />i~ <br />-17- <br />
