Mr. Wendt said it was the easterly portion of the Corridor. The land does not have to be in actual agricultural production. The SLVAP recognizes the area as the most appropriate for urban development, so the mitigation fees have to be paid. Mr. Pico thought the fee was $10,000 per unit, not per acre. Mr. Rasmussen also thought it was per unit and was not for all of the land in the 368 acres of the Corridor, only the land located to the east of the landfill site. Mr. Mohr believed the Berlogar property was included in the SLVAP so his western boundary was the line. The two corridors (Livermore and Pleasanton) were expected to be recipients of some density transfer. Mr. Rasmussen did not think density transfer was included. Mr. Tarvet recalled the SLVAP included 0-,, units per acre in the transition areas. Ms. Mohr believed the Council wanted 0-4 units, but the SLVAP wanted 2-4 units. What does the plan actually say? Mr. Rasmussen believed the only formal recommendation changing the SLVAP had to do with circulation routes. He would research that point and report at the next meeting. Mr. Wendt stated the $10,000 per unit was for Ruby Hill and the SLVAP states $10,000 per acre for areas developed in the transition area on cultivable soil. His point is that this is another source of revenue for the Land Trust and any source is important. That would be precluded unless some reasonable density is allowed in the Corridor. Michael Goodwin, 1630 Vineyard Avenue, reviewed the history of the Vineyard Corridor. He asserted that there were various discussions with councilmembers and city staff and the Vineyard property owners were promised reasonable density in exchange for annexation into the city. Staff worked with the property owners in a fast track joint planning process. He was told that by working on a Specific Plan that the property owners' and city's concerns could be dealt with in a timely and cost effective method. The property owners worked with staff, Friends of the Vineyards, and the Park and Recreation Department in developing a Specific Plan and spent over $200,000 on planning, design guidelines and the EIR. The Plan and EIR were 95 % complete in 1993 and they came before Council to see if it wanted any additions to the EIR before its completion. They were referred to the General Plan Update process. The Vineyard Corridor was annexed in August 1993 without a Specific Plan. He then related his experiences in serving on a subcommittee of the General Plan Update Committee. The property owners are reasonable and want a well-planned improvement to the City of Pleasanton. He believed the area was in-fill and because of the Ruby Hill development there are unique infrastructure challenges. The owners want reasonable development allowed so it can support the infrastructure 05~28~96 -6-
