should be granted only when there is a specific proposal. If the owners wish to develop before a regional shopping center is feasible, the situation should be reviewed then." Mr. Jack Davis, of Livingston and Blayney, stated that 68 acres are adequate and 40 acres would be enough for the location of a regional shopping center. Com- miasloner Antonini asked Mr. Davis what the population should be to entice depart- ment stores and other such stores into this community. The comments of Mr. Davie were withheld until after the presentation by Mr. George Oakes. Mr. Oakes then presented an array of photographs depicting the various Rousseau developments in Concord, Hayward, Fremont and Sacramento. His presentation in brief pertained to center, landscaped islands; blending and mixing different lead uses; garden apartments near the interchange and proposed frontage road; the regional shopping center and its being centrally enough Located to draw from the entire valley; reflecting pools and trellis in center of street at entrance to development and the City of Pleasanton, Mr. Oaken then distributed a report compiled by Mr. Alexander, planner for the Oliver Rousseau Corporation, which explained the economics of the development. The proposed name for this development is Fairlanda. The developer is asking for basically three considerations; street width, lot sizes and lot width. Streets to be with center planter islands, lot sizes to be reduced Prom 6500 square feet to 6000 square feet, lot width to be 57 - 60 feet. Commissioner Johnatoa asked Mr. Oakes if any arrangements were made to accommodate or restrict the parking of boats, trailers or camper trucks. Mr. Oakes replied that there would be a covenant which restricts this issue in a development in the Home Owner's Association agreement. Mr. Oakes once again questioned the Co®ission pertaining to their views on horses and bridal trails. Mr. Oakes also stated that he had spoken to County Flood Control District and that they are willing to work with Pleasanton to develop such trails. Mr. Jack Davis then gave a few of Mr. Blayney's comments regarding population and answered Commissioner Antoaini's question from earlier in the meeting. By 1970 the population should reach 252,000; 17,000 in Contra Costa County and San Rsmon Village. Mr. Davie further stated that one regional shopping center would be desirable and that Pleasanton would be the beat area. In general, Mr. Davis supported the views of Mr. Oakes except that the timing should be later. Mr. Fales then reiterated a few points which he felt should be of deep concern to the Commission; namely, the frontage road, percentage of zoning allocated to multiple dwellings, the thin stretches of park with no practical use, from a maintenance point of view. After a discussion which included co®enta with respect to zoning, number and size of areas to be zoned; a regional shopping center being a good tax generator; some other use being found and adopted if regional shopping center is not secured; it was dete±mined that a point study session between City Council and Planning Commission should be scheduled for Monday, July 27, 1964, for the purpose of arriving at basic policy decisions. Mr. Oakes was asked by the Commission to submit additional data on parkways and apartments against the freeway and ir..terchange. There being no further business to come before the Commission, upon motion of Commissioner Lozaro, seconded by Co~asaioner Johnatoa, and carried, the meeting was ad,jou:-ned at 10:45 P,M. to meet again on Wednesday, July 22, 1964, at 8:00 P.M.
