(SR99: 126) Ms. Dennis said she would not participate in the discussion because she lived too close to the area. She stepped down from the dias. Mayor Tarver reopened the public hearing. Roger Manning, 4725 First Street, #150, said the landowners have cooperated with the City for several years now and are hoping to see a final resolution tonight. He indicated that the infrastructure to the small parcels on the western end is in and the western end homeowners have had low-density residential zoning for many years. He said the biggest need is for another elementary school. The access to the school site will be paid for 40% by Signature Properties, 40% by the School District and 20% by the landowners in the Specific Plan area. By approving this plan tonight it will allow the westem property owners alone to immediately pay over three-fourths of million dollars to help build the road to the elementary school. The homeowners would like to see this happen as soon as possible. The City has spent a large amount of money and time to study, plan and implement the Specific Plan. He wanted to capture this investment and approve the Specific Plan. Mary Roberts, 1666 Vineyard, asked that the school opening be delayed until the roadway is realigned. She is well aware of the need for the school, but the School District has not been involved in the planning process. The school site changed after the Environmental Impact Report was done. She looked at an old map and found out that her property and lot 25 crosses the road to where the temporary entrance will be. She has not been approached regarding an easement for this entrance. The School District did not even ask the property owners if it could buy the property. She is not criticizing education, but she did not agree with the way the School District just moved the school site without asking the property owners. She said there is no infrastructure to the new Pleasanton City Council 8 06/01/99 Minutes
