Mr. Swirl explained the level of service calculation done for the Muirwood/West Las Positas intersection, which is currently a four-way intersection, was analyzed as a four-way stop sign and not as a traffic light intersection. If it is analyzed as a four-way stop sign then the delay is equivalent to a level of service F. The General Plan anticipates that the West Las Positas intersection will be signalized and if the signal is installed it will operate at a level of service B or C. Mayor Tarver understood that the only option to stay within the General Plan's limits is to install the West Las Positas interchange and signalize Muirwood at West Las Positas if the City keeps on growing the way it is growing. Mr. Swirl said that is correct but the current model does not include the kinds of mitigations being looked at by the West Las Positas study committee. Those mitigations potentially could also make the levels of service comply with the General Plan. Mayor Tarver declared the public hearing open. Mr. Pico asked for a copy of the minutes from the first public hearing. Jim Summers, The DeSilva Group, thanked staff for its hard work over the past two years. He agrees with staff's conclusions and conditions within the staff report with the following comments: (1) Allow one year to phase out the existing business; and (2) the four proposed "school" conditions, he will agree to condition number three. Additionally he would agree to abide by the existing residential flat fee agreement for this project. This agreement provides for the payment of $4.83 per square foot and that fee may be adjusted annually by inflation. By entering into this agreement, the DeSilva Group is fulfilling its obligation with respect to the school impacts. He asked for Council's favorable action on this item. Mayor Tarver understood that he was not disagreeing with the school mitigation fee even though Mr. Summer believes the DeSilva Group does not have to, based on Proposition 1A. Mr. Summers said The DeSilva Group has agreed to the $4.83 per square foot mitigation fee and Condition No. 3 in the supplemental staff report. Robin Neal, 3843 Northwood Court, said the school issue brought up at the November 3 meeting was brought up by the neighbors. The School District projected dates are subject to change. The main concern is density. If density is lowered, it will alleviate some of the other problems. Bob Cordtz, 248 West Angela Street, asked if the Pleasanton Unified School District has an agreement, contract or option to purchase the San Francisco land for an additional school site. Ms. Ayala said negotiations are going on now. Pleasanton City Council 7 12/01/98 Minutes
