Zone 7. The only other plans for recycled water use in Dougherty Valley relate to the irrigation recycled water which is the DSRSD/East Bay MUD project. The Clean Water Revival project is primarily a disposable project which allows DSRSD the capacity, from a disposal standpoint, to recycle the wastewater to serve development in eastern Dublin. An agreement has been negotiated with Zone 7 for the use of recycled water as a water supply. The recycled water would be injected into the groundwater basin and potentially be reused. It will be many years before the recycled water would reach a potable well. But f'mal state certification from the Health Department has not occurred yet. Mr. Belecky understood the process. His objection was to the possible health hazards from leakage. He did not object to using recycled water for irrigation. He did not agree with putting recycled sewage water into the aquifers. He mentioned the Tassajara property owners pulled out of their development and hoped Dougherty Valley would give up on its development. He asked the Council to support the residents. Victoria Holt, 3390 Vermont Place, objected to Staples Ranch being excluded from the east side study. She had a problem with piecemealing and rushing projects through. She said there is an approved Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan. She mentioned different amenities that the developers, Zone 7, Cal Mat, and the City would be getting from the Staples Ranch development. She is looking for quality of life and maintaining the value of her home. She worked on the committee that obtained an approved plan that included medium density homing and a 17.2 acre sports park. That plan has been dissolved. It was discovered that the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan would not pay for the infrastructure that was needed to create the Plan. She proposed removing the affordable housing in the Staples Ranch. She would like to see light industrial commercial development along the 1-580 freeway; less medium density; a 17.2 and 33 acre sports park; run Stoneridge Drive parallel to the Arroyo Mocho; and new homes along the other side of the Arroyo with West Las Positas Boulevard as a buffer. Carole Varela, 3858 Mohr Avenue, presented copies of petitions with 508 signatures regarding the area to be studied on the east side of town. She said 212 were door to door, 283 were mail-ins or dropped off at a drop box. She said not one newspaper, with the exception of the Independent, reported about the signatures, which she felt was significant because the signatures came from a new area different from the original Busch property residents. Nor did the newspapers (except for the Independent) report about a survey that was done that discovered the frustration residents had with the three women Councilmembers. She also commented that she did not feel Nate Meeks should be appointed to the Economic Vitality Committee. She said if anyone was interested in contacting her committee, the phone number is 462-1187. Mayor Tarver said he appointed Nate Meeks and Council ratified that decision. He believed Nate Meeks has done a good job in contributing to the Economic Development Advisory Board. Pleasanton City Council 8 05/19/98 Minutes
