Mayor Tarver appreciated the applicant working with the neighbors. He asked if <br />affordable housing could be included in the project. <br /> <br /> Mr. Winter said there would have to be more discussions with the neighbors. The <br />neighbors preferred single family dwellings. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala asked if one unit could be affordable housing. <br /> <br /> Mr. Winter said he would be willing to subsidize a unit, but he would like to discuss this <br />with the neighbors first. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti mentioned the first time buyer program. She understood that in order to <br />qualify, the buyer had to be within a certain income range. She appreciated his willingness to <br />subsidize one unit. She asked if the colors for the trim could be changed to a lighter color. <br /> <br /> Randy Friesen, 4167 First Street, supported the project and asked Council to support it. <br /> <br /> Mert Murray, 470 Mavis Drive, said Mr. Winters has been very cooperative and he <br />supported the project. He urged Council to vote yes. <br /> <br /> Brent Wilcox, 3988 Stanley Blvd, for Mary Lou Wilcox, said her property touched the <br />proposed project. She has no objection to the proposed project. Her concern is with the <br />proposed park trail. The transportation right-of-way is okay but there could be problems from <br />a public trail. <br /> <br /> John Kimber, 3885 Beacon Avenue, #D, Fremont, representing Mary Souza, indicated <br />tonight's meeting was the first notice she had received. He said she did not have any specific <br />objections. He asked if the City of Pleasanton had any control over the Alameda corridor? <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said it is owned by Alameda County. They use it for transportation purposes <br />and the City has no control over it. There are other issues the City has control over, such as <br />weed abatement. <br /> <br /> Mr. Kimber asked if this project would be tied into the widening of the Arroyo Bridge. <br /> Mayor Tarver said no. <br /> <br /> There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala agreed with staff s recommendation. She appreciated the developer working <br />with the neighborhood. She would like to see at least one unit subsidized. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 09/16/97 <br />Minutes 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
