He advised the <br />Commission that he has owned land in the <br />area for 14 years. He is not in the City at <br />this time, however, last year, he received a <br />311% increase in taxes - 1300% since he <br />bought the land. <br />Mr. McLeod gave some background on the <br />Castlewood properties. He stated that the <br />RM-25 area which McKeon owns, was sold to <br />them for $351,000. He assumes that Castlewo <br />will sell the balance of the property they <br />presently own. His only objection is to the <br />commercial slated. <br />The public hearing was then closed. <br />Commissioner Hirst felt that the density <br />alone is not the sole controlling factor in <br />any development, as if this were in the <br />R-1 district, the Commission would have stil <br />less control. <br />Some discussion followed on the number of <br />lanes on Foothill Road, at what point the <br />present two lanes would become four. It was <br />clarified that from Sunol up to West Las <br />Positas Blvd., it is slated to be two-lane. <br />Commissioner Pons inquired why the Council <br />recommended that the multiple area be placed <br />in the RM-4 (PUD). Acting Secretary Aiello <br />advised that the reasoning behind this is <br />that the RM-4 is a lower density. Commissio er <br />Pons then stated that he felt the Commission <br />was making a fair and equitable recommenda- <br />tion when they asked for the RM-2500. <br />- 7 - <br />
