restricting the use on the properties that fronted the north border. He did not want to put any specific restriction on the use of secondary units. Mayor Tarver had a concern with the golf course being burdened with paying half a million dollars for infrastructure to help the financing plan for this project. He was looking for the development to help. He said the Sportono and the Lund property and anything to the east that did not have a PUD approval was not a guarantee to help pay for the infrastructure. He said the financing plan has to be solid and not provide expectations for specific numbers of units. The public hearing tonight was only for Greenbriar's project, not the whole Sycamore area. To address some of the concerns brought up in regards to secondary units, he felt it would be better to have the Planning Commission recommend where they should go, which properties would have them, and other design factors. Regarding affordable housing, he felt the secondary units were necessary to show the State that the City of Pleasanton was trying to meet its affordable housing requirements. He understood the neighborhoods did not want it, but if not here, then where. If everyone takes that position, how can the City accomplish its General Plan. He wanted to confer with the City Attorney in regards to the road and did not like having to decide against one property owner. Ms. Ayala asked if he honestly believed, given all the work and alternatives for the road, that everyone could be happy. Mayor Tarver hoped so. Ms. Ayala believed the developer was working in good faith and was planning to sit down with the property owners to fai~y compensate them for any land that will be taken. She said if the road alignment was the problem, then the developer would be hard pressed to make agreements with everyone on all the alternatives. She said after Council made its decision in regards to what alternative to use, then the developer could make the agreements with the property owners in question. She also believed the developer knew that Council did not want to condemn anyone's property and would move forward in that respect. She wanted to make sure in the financing plan the City was working toward the goal of fulfilling the contract with the School District. Mr. Pico supported the original road alignment. To answer the prior question, Ms. Michelotti stated that the lot size was less on old Sycamore Road to accommodate the open space available and the reconfiguration of the creek. She would like to keep the secondary units as part of the plan. She agreed with being specific to the lots along the north border but to keep flexibility within the development. She addressed the need for affordable housing. She had a concern with the number of units listed in the financing plan and felt the City has to take some of the responsibility in regards to the infrastructure costs because the golf course would generate more traffic. She supported the secondary units. She wished there had been an agreement in regards to the road alignment. She Pleasanton City Council 2/17/98 Minutes 22
