Mr. Pico only wanted to look at economically feasible options and felt 84 units should not be considered. Ms. Ayala said the public needed to know what subsidy genario would work. Based on the remarks, she felt the public supported the realignment of Vineyard and would like one of the plans to include this. She also wanted a plan that had zero subsidy. Mayor Tarver said he did not mind looldng at 150 and 200 unit scenarios. But he did not want to raise expectations that 300-350 units would be allowed. He did not think Pleasanton residents wanted the Vineyard Corridor developed with houses. He agreed some of the infrastructure costs should be shared. If the infrastructure costs are subsidized, the property owners should be willing to accept less for the residual land value. He did not want to widen or realign Vineyard Avenue. The question is how do you keep the rural gateway concept in the Vineyard Corridor and still allow the property owners to get a reasonable density. Ms. Ayala asked if one of the plans could include the realignment of Vineyard Avenue. Mayor Tarver thought no. He did not understand how there could be no difference in cost between widening the road and relocating it. Ms. Dennis asked for one of the plans to show the distribution of 150 units within the Corridor. She wanted to look at the location of development and its effect on the infrastructure costs. She asked if undergrounding the utilities only referred to the existing high frequency lines and not new facilities. Mr. Gruelly said the analysis included costs for undergrounding the utilities that parallel both sides of Vineyard Avenue. It is not for the 120HV volt line that follows the Arroyo. Mayor Tarvet asked if this cost was added to the normal fee for undergrounding utilities? Mr. Gruelly said the lines along Vineyard Avenue are included, but the cost for undergrounding the high tension lines are not included. Mr. Pico felt the City should provide sewer and water for the entire length of the Corridor. He asked if the cost for the S-curve realignment had been considered in the analysis. Mr. Gruelly said any costs for the realignment in regards to the S-curve had been excluded from the study. The road costs start at the easterly end of Vineyard and connect with Ruby Hills. Mr. Pico felt it would be a potential flaw if any property in the Vineyard Corridor development would have to pay a portion of the realignment of the S-curve.
