4y$A3l~ly?~,L <br />CITY of PLEASANTON <br />~~ o <br />.~.:o~.~ Piannrng Commission <br />MINUTES ~OF REGULAR MEETING. <br />DGie January 25, 1972 <br />Time : 7:u~0 P.M. <br />PIGCe; Pleasanton Justice Court <br />Mr. Victor Bailey, 4565 Black Avenue, <br />expressed similar concern and asked about <br />the those homes which would be adjacent to <br />the railroad tracks and be inconvenienced <br />by the noise. He once again expressed his <br />conviction that this parcel should have <br />remianed in the Industrial District. <br />Mr. Lake then spoke in rebuttal to Messrs. <br />Seymour and Bailey's remarks. <br />He felt that the school children would walk <br />along the greenbelt areas to the school <br />bus stop. These areas could be improved <br />so that the children can come down and <br />through the parkway system and to the <br />intersection across Valley Avenue. <br />Regarding the homes abutting the railroad <br />tracks, this factor is of concern to the <br />City and FHA as well. There is heavy <br />buffering planned and the homes will be <br />set as far back from the tracks as possible. <br />He cited, as an example, the homes in the <br />Atherton-Hillsborough area, where the <br />Southern Pacific lines back up to certain <br />of the lots in that Peninsula area. <br />Certainly the value of those homes has not <br />been damaged by these railroad lines. <br />Further discussion ensued on pathways for <br />the school children. Mr. Lake promised a <br />pathway system for the school children, <br />this to be improved during the first phase <br />of development. <br />He further emphasized that there will be <br />no break in the phasing of improvements. <br />There being no further discussion, the <br />Public Hearing was closed. <br />Commissioner Wood asked whether this resi- <br />dential development, would jeopardize <br />possible commercial/industrial development <br />11. <br />
