Ms. Mohr asked about the quarry and the proposal for the chain of lakes. Could the City <br />of Pleasanton get some of that area for active park use and who will own that property once it <br />becomes the "chain of lakes?" <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift explained that the reclamation of the quarry areas will be done by Zone 7 and <br />will include some land adjacent to the lakes, but not much. The actual use of the chain of lakes <br />is many years away. The first lake may be within five to ten years. That will primarily be for <br />water recharge resource and water storage. There are still many years of discussion on how the <br />lakes will be used. Staff has talked about some sort of trail use or other active use of the quarry <br />lands. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr again asked if the City can use any of that area if it needed additional park <br />land. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift felt the City could get acreage outside of the chain of lakes in the quarries that <br />would be ideal for park usage when the quarries are no longer being mined. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked if we had a dedication of land from San Francisco and if we have <br />money coming from the last agenda item, could we use that money to improve the park on the <br />San Francisco property, perhaps even lighted fields, before development occurred? <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift indicated that concept has been discussed and San Francisco does not oppose <br />it. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Pico, seconded by Ms. Dennis% to approve the San Francisco <br />property, Staples Ranch, and the Kaiser property for future consideration as prime <br />community active and special use community park sites; approve the Vineyard Corridor <br />site for future consideration as a community park for special uses; and eliminate the three <br />available potential community park sites identified in North Pleasanton from further <br />community park consideration. <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Dennis, Michelotti, Mohr, Pico, and Mayor Tarver <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />Item 6e <br />Initiation of Eminent Domain Proceedins to Acouire Street Hghts and Street Light <br />Facilities from Pacific Gas and Electric fIG&EL (5R96:40) <br /> <br /> Randall Lum presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr asked why it was necessary to institute eminent domain. <br /> <br />05/07/96 -16- <br /> <br /> <br />
