defer the impact of the church traffic and this would allow for the flexibility of studying the <br />circulation of the traffic. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala had a concern with putting in a temporary driveway because when the <br />surrounding houses sell, the property owners might come before Council when the driveway is <br />relocated. She felt it was a bad idea to put in a temporary driveway because the illusion that <br />it is permanent would be there.

A permanent station would need to go <br />through an environmental review process at which time there would an opportunity to comment <br />on the impacts of a permanent station at this location. If the impacts are not adequately <br />mitigated, then the City would have the opportunity to challenge the findings. There are some <br />limits as to what the City can do in respect to discretionary land use approval of this kind of <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 4/7/98 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> 18 <br /> <br /> <br />
