84,000 trips with buildout. He said this is unacceptable. 6) Table 10 lists all the intersections that are or will be at level of service E or F. He asked Council to take the report seriously. He believed the City was building too fast, too soon. The schools are overcrowded and the streets are congested and yet the City continues to approve new construction. The Council should come to an agreement as to what is acceptable at buildout and then work backwards. Council should direct staff to come up with additional mitigation measures to reduce the level of service at the 24 intersections at level of service E. He felt the City should wait until final costs and how mitigation is going to be paid for before approving any more development and Council should strictly adhere to the solution for buildout. In conclusion, he did not want this problem swept under the rug. He said Council's actions here tonight will affect the residents for a long, long time. Debra Barker, 5018 Blackbird, understood that traffic is being taken off the roadways because people are leaving earlier, such as at 3:30 or 4:30 a.moo The model considers this a good thing, but in reality it is not and actions should be taken to stop this. She mentioned four intersections that are accelerating to level of service F. She listed several problems with the approval for Ruby Hills: the traffic numbers given were incorrect and the correct impact fees were not collected because the traffic study was for a County project not a Pleasanton project. There is no secondary entrance into the area because of problems with the red legged frog; and there should be more traffic mitigation. She said Pleasanton is at a very busy interchange. The boundary conditions for the model are definitly not finite. Pleasanton does not have an unlimited supply of roadways. She said instead of trying to solve the problem, look at how to protect the residents, neighborhoods, etc. The problem is regional and needs to be solved on a regional level. Carole Varela, 3858 Mohr Avenue, said the extension of Isabel is only two lanes and would not accommodate many people. She said the City of Tracy, Livermore and Dublin are all building new homes. Does the model take these numbers into consideration. She said Pleasanton seems to be the City to cut-through. There being no further speakers, the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Mayor Tarver, and seconded by Ms. Dennis, to concur with the methodology used in ascertaining the allowable development within those portions of Hacienda covered by Prudential's Development Agreement and to approve the trip- generating coefficients for various non-office uses to be used in the City's "Standard Assumptions" . Mayor Tarver said he respects the development agreement as a legally binding document. In the future, he wanted the same type of development agreements to ensure the improvements are built that the City needs. He believed the developer of Hacienda has done everything it can to assist the community. He felt it was appropriate to use the baseline and allow Hacienda to proceed. PeopleS oft is doing everything it can to reduce trips. Pleasanton City Council Minutes 17 09/15/98
