fourplex units over apartments. With regard to the plans, he preferred the one with more green on Bernal. The infrastructure was free and he liked the street layout. Mr. Tarver indicated that in the city survey, the question was asked whether the community would consider more units in order to get a golf course or community park, basically trading density for community amenities. He also wanted the green area along the railroad tracks, which is a flex area, should be a different color, so people don't assume it is all park. Dorene Paradiso, 3168 Paseo Granada, was concerned about the 15 mph speed limit. What controls will support this and deal with aggressive drivers. Mr. Tarvet did not believe the speed limit will be set at that. It is the design that will influence the speed of the traffic. Geoff Cooper, 7534 Flagstone Drive, was pleased the elementary school was moved away from the freeway. He was concerned about noise and pollution exposure when the site had been located near the knoll. He liked Alternative 5 but was still concerned about the density. Regarding the narrow streets, he agreed this could slow traffic, but it was critical for people to have room around their houses to do things they normally do, like park two or three cars on the street. You can't have narrow streets and tiny lots and still give people room they need. He liked the idea of a little coffee shop on the west side. Kay Ayala, 4515 Gatetree Circle, liked Alternative 5 which brings all ideas together. She supported going along with the land uses in Alternative 5, but leave flexibility for things to be moved as the plan progresses through the process. She referred to the Laguna West project and felt it failed. However there was one street in the nco-traditional planning that was attractive. She spoke to residents who liked the homes and the alleyways in the back. Unfortunately, it wasn't finished. She wanted to make sure there is flexibility to deal with changes in the market and that areas not be tied to too specific design guidelines. People have varying tastes in homes. She did not want to get into design guidelines at this point, but to go along with the recommendation to accept the land uses and make sure it works so San Francisco has enough units to make it worthwhile. She still wants the lower end for density. She also felt that the length of a street could influence the speed of traffic. She then referred to Laguna West again and how much she liked the location of the Town Hall. However, there was a problem because there was not enough parking near it. Bev Javabail, 2113 Cascara Court, praised Alternative 5. She was concerned about how close some of the high density homes are getting to the creek and how that will affect recreation purposes. She then suggested a demonstration farm such as Ardenwood in Fremont to be located in the 33 acres of park near the railroad tracks. Cindy McGovern, 9206 Longview Drive, liked Alternative 5 and thanked Mr. Calthorpe for working with San Francisco to develop it. She still wanted the road crossing the railroad tracks to be an underpass. There could be more housing for San Francisco to develop and she 05/21/96 -10-
