Ms. Ayala asked Mr. Erickson that if he were to walk up to the average person in <br />Pleasanton and ask how many houses are being built per year, did he think the person would <br />know? <br /> <br /> Mr. Erichon said the average person probably would not know. But that is his point. <br />The citizens of Pleasanton should be informed and doing a survey would help to inform the <br />citizens. <br /> <br /> Christine Bourg, 4512 Second Street, said she is concerned about the rate of growth. <br />She asked Council why projects are being approved that will not be built for twenty years. She <br />supports Mr. Erickson idea of getting the citizens of Pleasanton opinions on growth. <br /> <br /> Nate Meeks, 6387 Paseo Santa Mafia, proposed an alternative solution, which is to let <br />the business community sit down and try to come up with a response to growth management. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver said that it would be okay with him for the business community to meet. <br />He wants to be assured, however, that during these discussions no further growth management <br />allocations are approved. <br /> <br /> Arlene Utal, 712 Bancroft Road, #118, Walnut Creek, said she understood that there are <br />only two new projects for 1997. She is here to ask Council to let the Suncrest development be <br />built in 1997. There are 750 units shown on the table but only 600 will probably be built. The <br />City encourages infill projects to be built first. She has not had any opposition to the Suncrest <br />development to date. There is a need to build this project and encouraged Council to approve <br />this development. <br /> <br /> Daniel Hale, 3352 Smoketree, representing the Patco Enterprise Project, said that this <br />project is an infill project as well and only adds ten units. It supports the downtown plan and <br />he encouraged Council to let it be developed this year. <br /> <br /> Joe Callahan, 5674 Stoneridge Drive,//212, supported the idea of the developers <br />discussing the growth management issues. These meetings could be held in a matter of weeks, <br />not months. He would like to participate in the process. <br /> <br /> There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti requested the items be handled separately. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver said the items would be handled separately, starting with the growth <br />management allocations. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 17 3/18/97 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
