Ed Churka, Pleasanton Railroad Association founder, 507 St. John Street, believed that an initial environmental study is not needed. (A slide presentation was given). He was concerned with spending $30,000 on a study that has already been conducted. He was aware of other traffic and impact studies conducted by the City and did not understand why these could not be used. He claimed this project was exempt from CEQA requirements and referred to a court decision on the Napa wine train. Jack Lyon, 5250 Case Avenue, spoke about the effect that the potential noise from the train's using the fight-of-way would have on those who live at Ridgeview Commons; he requested a soundwall. Robert Cordtz, 262 W. Angela, requested he be given access to the hazardous materials reports filed by the Department of Transportation. He did not believe that the noise from the whistles was an issue considering the mount of noise created by other trains coming through Pleasanton. In response to Mr. Pieo's concern, Mr. Roush explained that the statutory exemption is not applicable to this situation because the tracks have been removed. Ms. Mohr believed that the City staff should perform the scope of work for the environmental study. 01104194 3
