inclusion in the improvement costs for further improvements to Vineyard Avenue; and dissolution of the zoning definition. He understood it was not the Council's job to protect him from all the elements, but he felt he was subjected to a process that lasted seven years. He said he had been denied the opportunity to bring forth to Council a plan for consideration under the existing zoning. The property east of the landfill will benefit with the specific plan, where the property west of the landfill would not. He did not understand this when the property west of the landfill was the best place to locate. He asked if his property could be released from further delay; please consider all of the points when fee participation is decided; please give him consideration to these points when a specific plan came forward; and consider property on the west side of the land fill for mid-priced homes. He believed it was Council's intention to treat everyone fatfly. Pam Chrisman, 1944 Vineyard Avenue, would like to see 200 units, because people might not want to buy looking at the quarry. The expensive homes are in Ruby Hill for those that would want to buy higher priced homes. Anthony Pietronave, 2500 Vineyard Avenue, was concerned with the density proposed for his property. The specific plan designated his property as rural density residential. The old General Plan designated his property low density residential. He was concerned that he would not be able to subdivide the land and build an additional home. He would like to be able to sell some property. He said he had already given the city one-half acre for the Vineyard Avenue realignment and he was happy with the way the road turned out. His request was to have his property zoned low density residential. There was no further public testimony. Ms. Ayala asked Mr. Rasmussen the cost factor for getting a second opinion on the report and if he thought it was a good idea? Mr. Rasmussen said after the specific plan and EIR are prepared, then a report could be prepared by BAE and another economic firm could review it at a minimal cost. He said BAE was selected with a considerable amount of confidence. Ms. Ayala asked if the urban boundaries were outside the Vineyard Corridor? Mr. Rasmussen said the boundaries were outside the Vineyard Corridor. Ms. Belzer said combining medium density with vineyard estate lots could impact the marketability of the estate lots. This was mentioned in the conclusion of the report. Ms. Ayala asked if there were a solution to this problem. Pleasanton City Council 1/20/98 Minutes 19
