Ms. Acosta said the cost to the City is beyond whatever was anticipated, but the golf course has maintained a constant price. The City is being very cautious as to what is reasonable. Ms. Dennis understood the level of support the City is considering is $5.7 million. Mayor Tarver asked how long it would take to get a response from the permitting agencies. Mr. Lum expected responses to start coming back in the early fall. Ms. Michelotti understood the bypass road would be constructed through the Greenbriar, New Cities and the Sportono properties with lot line adjustments being approved in the future. She asked if there was any way to have a plan in conjunction with the flat portion of the Sportono's land, where the land could be developed differently. Mr. Swift said anything is possible The new lots are designed to be entirely within the property owner's property, at their request. The plan proposes houses on the other side of the bypass road. The houses meet the requirements of the Happy Valley Specific Plan for lots on the flat area. Therefore the opportunity to do something different with the bypass road is not very great. Mayor Tarver declared the public hearing open. Mark Armstrong, Attorney at Law, representing the Sportonos passed out proposed changes to the agricultural policies and programs. He has already gone over the changes, which are mainly clarification of the existing proposals, with staff. Bill Howell, 6651 Alisal Street, found some significant flaws in the water and sewer infrastructure financing report. He asked Council to delay its decision on denying the Alisal Improvement Club's most recent proposal until he could submit a response. Mayor Tarver reiterated that no action would be taken tonight. This item is being continued to a special meeting. Mr. Howell said the Alisal proposal was to have the residents only pay the on-site costs and not the off-site costs. If this was not possible then the residents of Alisal would like an incremental method, which would reduce the costs to $25,000 per residence for sewer and water. Since that time staff has reviewed the incremental method and determined that it would be $37,000 to $41,000 per residence. He said this is something the residents cannot afford. The goal is to make it fair and affordable. The Alisal residents current proposal is to raise green fees by $.50/weekdays and $1 .00/weekends which would generate enough revenue to pay for the off-site infrastructure costs and the residents would pay the on-site costs. Staff turned down this proposal. He also felt there were significant analytical errors in the ERA report. The golf course could charge an Pleasanton City Council 14 07\06\99 Minutes
