Ms. Crawley said yes. Mr. Pico asked if more screening could be put into her yard. Ms. Crawley said there was no room available to plant anything else but she could build her fence ten to twelve feet high. She did not feel she should have to wait two years for the screening to fill in. Ms. Ayala said every six months there would be more and more screening and then at the end of two years the foliage would be filled in. Ms. Crawley said she was told the trees planted in the area where she is most impacted would take two years to have full screening. Kurt Potter, 6717 Corte Del Vista, did not understand what the concern was. The Broyers' structure has been approved. He thought of Pleasanton as a family community, so let kids be kids. All the homes in the area have two stories and whoever wanted to could sit and look into other yards all day long. He felt the additional trees Mr. Broyer planted would provide sufficient coverage. Joe Broyer, 6719 Corte Santa Maria, said his son has not been in the structure more than three times since this started. He offered to put up additional safety boards across the structure which would prohibit children from hanging over and looking out. There is no room for the two five gallon pittosporums that are supposed to be planted. He was willing to put them in, but these plants are slow growing and would not provide any screening for a long time. He said the melaleuca linarifolia was still in its box because he was waiting for it to drop its leaves to make sure all the leaves did not fail on the Battershells' property after final placement. Ms. Michelotti asked if he would be willing to work with the Battershells to determine the best possible place to plant it. Mr. Broyer said he is willing to move the tree to wherever the best place would be. The other trees planted have leafed out better than anticipated. He agreed with the previous speaker, in that the homes are two story and people can see into each other's homes. He felt play structures added to the value of homes. When the trees were delivered, he phoned the Crawleys and the Battershells to have them come out and look at the positioning of the trees. He said he got an okay from both as to where the trees should be planted. Ms. Michelotti asked if any more trees were supposed to be planted? Mr. Broyer said two five gallon pittosporums still needed to be planted, but there is no place to plant them. Pleasanton City Council 12/02/97 Minutes 9
