when she pulled a permit to add onto her barn. She is not subdividing her property and has a <br /> perfectly good well and septic system. <br /> <br /> There were no further speakers. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala asked if the consultants wanted to make any additional comments. <br /> <br /> Ms. Belzer commented on the quarry issue. For their analysis, it was assumed the <br /> Lonestar quarry would be developed as vineyards. The other quarry was not addressed. The <br /> analysis did not address the aesthetics, but it was assumed there would some sort of buffer to <br /> help with the noise. Also only four or five vineyard estates were being considered for <br /> development, therefore they are not a major portion of the financial feasibility study. <br /> <br /> Mr. Gruelly commented there is a demand for wine and a need for vineyards. Given <br /> good management, it could be a good economic use of the land and he described the points in <br /> favor of wine grape growing. He said many grapes are grown organically, therefore there <br /> would not be a safety hazard to a public school in the area. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico asked if he felt this could be a potential gateway into the wine country. <br />_ Mr. Gruelly said it is a matter of marketing. <br /> Ms. Dennis felt Council should accept the report, as it is a good starting point. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Dennis, and seconded by Ms. Ayala, to accept the Vineyard <br /> Avenue Corridor Economic and Development Feasibility Analysis. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico had concerns with oversizing infrastructure because he felt it was growth <br /> inducing and this is contrary to the urban growth boundary and the General Plan. If the <br /> oversizing was for viticulture, he could accept that, but if it was to accommodate Ruby Hill, he <br /> was opposed. He did not have a problem with accepting the report, but it needed to be refined <br /> to include such issues. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver felt the intent of the analysis was to get a handle on the alternatives at the <br /> broadest level. <br /> <br /> The r011 C,~111 v~>~ was as follows: <br /> AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Dennis, Pico and Mayor Tarver. <br /> NOES: None <br /> ABSENT: Councilmember Ms. Michelotti <br /> ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> Pleasanton City Council 10/07/97 <br /> Minutes 14 <br /> <br /> <br />
