Mr. Volk stated that he wants to go ahead and develop. There is too much industrial land already, and there is ample reason for residential zoning. He displayed a map showing the available industrial property is the area. Mr. Blayney said that Henry Mariam , secretary for F?illow West and attorney for the family, engaged Mr. Coleman to make a study of the area which encompasses 500 acres bounded by Hopyatd Road, the Southern Pacific Railroad and Santa Rita Road. Mr. Coleman is of the opinion there is more than adequate land in this area which can be dedicated to industrial use. Mr. Falea said that an engineer for the Stodeson Organization celled him indicating disfavor with the shifting of Pine Avenue extension north, which would extend Pine Ave. through their property to Foothill Road. Relatively no one who owns land in the subject area wants it zoned industrial, Mr. Fales added. Dr. Howard Long asked Mr, Volk if he has brought any industry to offset the burden on the taxpayers for the thousands of school children. Mr. Volk replied he has tried earnestly to attract industry. They have spent money to help develop flood control to attract induairy to this community. They have invested $300,000 in temporary schools for their community prior to the time the Murray School District can receive State aid. He said their attempt to sell property industry has not met with success, and he would welcome help from people in the community to develop the subject property as industrial. Mr. Ray Nilson, of Clayton, owner of 106 scree in the subject proposed industrial area, said he was not in favor of industrial development for his property. Mr. Falea pointed out that during the past two years Pleasanton has located four industries within the City Limits. Coa~nity Facilities. No comments. Institutions. No comments. Agriculture.
