Mayor Tarver said the Council that approved the Stoneridge Specific Plan is gone. He recalled there was support for a four lane road with a berm, but that Council wanted to leave some flexibility for future Councilmembers and therefore included the six lane proposal. Mr. Belecky felt the traffic volumes would increase and a six lane road would be needed. He wanted the Staples Ranch development included in the study and asked that no new development be approved until the study is done. David Gonsalves, 2215 Martin Avenue, said the Trenery/Martin area is zoned for low density and did not need to be included in the study. He said when the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan was done the land was mostly vacant. The City Council put a limit on the number of units to be developed with a certain number of acreage for parks. If the community is demanding more open space, there has to be a trade off with higher density homes. He summarized that he would like the Trenery/Martin area excluded from the study, the Staples Ranch area included in the study and to work with the City of Livermore to stop the airport from expanding. Mayor Tarver calculated that discussion of this item and Item 4q would take the meeting past 12:00 a.m. He requested that Item 6d, Mt. Diablo National Bank, Item 6c, PUD-97-22, Trumark Commercial, and Item 6f, review of the Planning Commission's recommendations pertaining to Growth Management, be continued until the May 19 meeting. Ms. Ayala asked if there was a time constraint for the Mt. Diablo National Bank application. Mr. Swift said no. Ms. Ayala asked those who were here for the Mt. Diablo National Bank if they wanted the item continued. There was concurrence from the audience to hear the item tonight if possible. Mayor Tarver stated that Item 6c, PUD-97-22, Tramark Commercial and Item 6f, review of the Planning Commission's recommendations pertaining to Growth Management, would be continued to the May 19 meeting. He said he would try and hear Item 6d, the application of the Mr. Diablo National Bank. Bob Silva, 3766 Oak Brook Court, said he was here this evening on behalf of the DeSilva Group, Alameda County, and Kaufman & Broad Southbay. In 1996 Alameda County and Kaufman & Broad filed an application for an amendment to the Stoneridge Specific Plan concerning the Staples Ranch. The proposal for that project was for a residential housing mix, a 33 acre lighted sports park, and a commercial office park. That project was approved by the Planning Commission in February 1997 and came before Council in May 1997. The Council Pleasanton City Council 16 05/05/98 Minutes
