mind. She changed her mind because the two story homes would be the only ones enjoying the view. She feels it is more important to keep the development off the hillsides and keep the fences open. She would like the 33 acres to be divided into two-acre parcels with one-story homes and that the rural atmosphere be maintained. She was at a meeting with Craig Chapman where it was negotiated that there would be 16 homes on two acres with the road opening onto Alisal. It is a mystery as to why this has changed. Bob Morris, 6290 Laura Lane, had a concern with the land use density. Of the 125 parcels there are now 53 that are one acre or less. One acre lots would mean more sewer and water hookups and would help defray the costs. He said the majority of the homeowners in the Valley supported one acre parcels. The costs in the Specific Plan are for two acre parcels. In the North Sycamore area the lots are one acre parcels. He felt the property owners that had large lots that could be subdivided were being ignored. Bud Barlow, 6723 Alisal Street, had a concern with the water and sewer wording. He said the report reads that existing homeowners would be able to keep their wells if the wells met city standards. He wanted to know what these standards were. He has been drinking well water for several years without any problems. He wanted some recourse in case the reclaimed water, being used for the golf course, mined his well. He also had a concern with reducing the density from two to one and one-half acres. If this occurred, everyone in the area would want to do the same. He wanted to preserve the rural atmosphere. Shinnan Kiang, 5689 San Jose Drive, asked that Council adopt the Planning Commission's recommendations concerning the properties south of Happy Valley Road, with lot 110 included. Lot 110 is approximately 32 acres, 10 acres of which would be donated to the City for the golf course. He requested moving the urban boundary line southward to the line of the southern border of the golf course. He preferred the housing density of one or one and one-half acre. Jack Hovingh, 4250 Muirwood Drive, was concerned that the floor area ratios would be very large on the properties. A floor area ratio of 25 % on a two acre parcel would be a very large home. He asked Council to consider a small floor area ratio. Michael Kyle, 5000 Hopyard Road, #400, representing Castlewood Country Club, thanked staff for being so helpful. He had a concern with the proposed resolution approving the Happy Valley Specific Plan, number 21, page 3: "Detention facility monitoring programs shall be submitted to the City for approval in conjunction with the PUD development plans prepared for the Golf Course and the Spotorno Property and such programs shall be designed to ensure proper maintenance of these facilities on a permanent basis." His concern is based on not having all the facts until the hydrology study is completed. Castlewood's concern is the mn off in regards to the golf course and the Arroyo de la Laguna. He submitted, that the condition should "also ensure that the detention and monitoring facility function in accordance with the goal of not increasing the down stream impact of ranoff from the project." He wanted to know, Pleasanton City Council 15 06/16/98 Minutes
