Ms. McGovern referred to an assumption that within the development agreement there would be collection of fees for the School District to purchase ten acres of land. Mr. Tarvet indicated that was correct. Ms. McGovern's recap about the plan was complete and accurate. The discussion about the school site size was not resolved to his recollection. There was discussion about whether fees would pay for it, but there was also discussion about a cooperative agreement with San Francisco and getting a plan everyone could accept. There was no direction that said the School Dish-ict shall have ten acres. Ms. McGovern agreed with that. The agreement first started with joint use of gyms and saving money because the District and the City serves the same population. If that does not work, then there needs to be some discussion to see where they go next. Ms. Mohr believed Ms. McGovern was indicating that she would like to have the new plan come back to Council for review before proceeding further. Ms. McGovern agreed she had a few concerns one of which was talking to Sacramento about Lagtma West and its problems. She was also concerned about the timing of the review process and to mal~ sure Pleasanton does not lose its opportunities. - Rick Nelson, Project Manager for San Francisco Water Department's Bernal Property, indicated he hopes to have a plan before the Board of Supervisors in lune. Regardless of what happens in the County, San Francisco will continue discussions and try to move the project through Pleasanton. It was out of frustration on San Francisco's part which caused it to process an application through the County. For everyone's benefit, it is worthwhile to continue to work with Pleasanton to get a plan everyone can agree to. Assuming San Francisco gets approval from the County, there are no immediately plans to bring out the bulldozers. Whether there is approval in the County and/or Pleasanton, there is a lot of predevelopment work still to be done before construction commences. Although the process had diverged from what he had expected, it seems there is still progress and he hopes it will come to conclusion. Mr. Tarvet asked his opinion about timing for design guidelines and bringing the proposal back for review. Mr. Nelson felt first Mr. Calthorpe needs to come back with the revised plan from the April 11 meeting. He felt there should be another level of analysis of that plan. He had concerns about the accuracy of some of the land use allocations shown on the plan. Assuming there is general agreement on the plan, there should be additional analysis. Before getting into design guidelines, there a lot of other issues to be decided: a specific plan, development proposal, development agreement, and some other big issues. He felt we were losing sight of the course. It is not wise to spend time on the details before reaching agreement on the general context of the plan. litis is like building a house and deciding on the wallpaper for the bathroom before putting up the walls. Neo-traditional can mean many things to different people. 04/16/96 -14-
