Ms. Garrity asked if it was still possible to consider 800 - 1400 housing units ff this <br /> agreement is approved? <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver stated the agreement does not restrict our latitude in developing a specific <br /> plan. If we cannot come up with a plan that meets the needs of Pleasanton and San Francisco, <br /> we will be here four months from now. The point is it is in everyone's interest to develop a <br /> plan that includes as much as is economically viable and in Pleasanton's interest that San <br /> Francisco can agree to. Our options are still open. San Francisco still has to get County <br /> approval and may be subject to a referendum in the County. It has to get LAFCO approval of <br /> the county services area; it has to get approval from the State Water Resources Control Board <br /> for the sewage plant; it needs to get through our city to get access to the property, etc. There <br /> are many factors influencing this including the desire to have a Pleasanton address, which will <br /> enhance the value of the property. We are aware of all of these things and are working for a <br /> good plan. <br /> <br /> Ms. Garrity wanted San Francisco to withdraw from the dual process because she did not <br /> feel it was negotiating in good faith. She disagreed with the growth management plan and <br /> objected to San Francisco displacing others who want to develop. She did not want another <br /> committee formed to review this; there has been enough input already. <br /> <br />- Gary Schwagearle, 189 West Angela Street, agreed them should be a cultural arts or <br /> convention center. He referred to the Hayward Centennial Hall and felt there were people <br /> available who would donate money for the project. He wanted a light rail station. He supported <br /> affordable housing that would be on 5000 sq. ft. lots and be about 800-1200 sq. ft. units and <br /> priced to $150,000 to $180,000. That way there would be all single family units and they would <br /> sell fast. He also wanted a gas station near the freeway. He supperted the golf course as a serf- <br /> supporting facility. The green fees should be affordable. His final suggestion was a sports <br /> stadium. <br /> <br /> There was discussion regarding formulas to determine the economic viability of the <br /> project. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti felt there would not be approval in the County even if we go ahead with <br /> the agreement. If the process continues in a positive fashion, there will not be a need for that. <br /> Both San Francisco and Alameda County have accepted the Letter Agreement and she was <br /> concerned about amending the Cooperative Agreement. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver felt we were saying we will get into the agreement and continue to work with <br /> the process in good faith. People are saying *Ask themr. It is San Francisco's decision, but <br /> if it fails to stop the dual process, he was concerned about the baffle of words escalating. The <br /> citizens have said they do not want a county approved plan and if we get to that point, do we <br /> ~e lawsuits, do we do other things to prevent that; do the citizens have to referend the <br /> approval? The dual process creates an environment for further confrontation. If Sharrell is fight <br /> and Pleasanton gets the first opportunity to prepare a plan and the County will not approve this, <br /> <br /> 01/16/96 -14- <br /> <br /> <br />
