Mayor Tarver said his option was no building permit shall be issued or lot would be sold for any of the six new homes within this project until after new school located on Case Avenue is operational. Then there could be a proviso that the applicant may request further consideration of this condition as the school construction progresses. The intent being that the time to occupy the homes would coincide with the actual opening of the school. Mr. Ford understood he could come back in front of the Council with a schedule that perhaps the School District had given to him that construction is already underway and that the construction schedule indicates that the school will be complete by the fall of 2000. That would then allow him to pursue lot sales on the project. Mayor Tarver agreed as long as there was nothing interfering with the completion of the school. Ms. Michelotti asked why not write a condition that says no homes could be sold until the school opens, rather then have to come back and ask for further consideration. She said getting an approval on further consideration might not happen. She did not want something to be up in the air, where Passport would say it would not sell any lots until the fall of 2000 and then in November 1999 it would be before Council asking for a further consideration. She understood from the testimony that it would take nine months to construct a custom home and twelve months to construct a school once the framing is done. Mayor Tarver was not going to support a motion that does anything other than what he has been discussing. Ms. Dennis asked if the option could be worded to provide "if the applicant did come back for further consideration such consideration would be based on the progress of elementary school, not on everything." She felt the condition should be linked to the construction of the elementary school. Ms. Michelotti understood the condition would be linked specifically to the school site rather than all the other things to be considered. Therefore Passport would keep its word and not sell lots until the school is under construction. Ms. Dennis would like the condition to reflect that at the time of further consideration of the timing of the lot sales, it would be based upon the progress of the elementary school construction issues. Mayor Tarver wanted the words until a "new elementary school is operational." The applicant can request further consideration based on the conditions and the construction of the elementary school but the occupancy of the houses should not occur before the opening of the school. There being no further speakers, the public heating was closed. Pleasanton City Council 20 05/18/99 Minutes
