Mr. MacDonald did not object to Condition No. 16 (a new condition) regarding the spring boxes. He then referred to Condition 15 and stated that he intended on having the Environmental Master draft the Nature Preservation Awareness Brochure. He will then submit it to the Planning Commission as well as to Fish & Game. Mr. MacDonald would support giving broad staff authority to locate a water tank. Hamid Taeb, Boulevard Development Company, described the design of the proposed homes. He pointed out details of the development on a map. He stated that he has been working with the neighbors regarding their concerns but has not yet come to an agreement. He asked that Council add a condition that would allow him to build a water tank if Presley Homes does not record its final map. He asked that a condition be added that would allow him to use a one inch pipe to the homes instead of the 11/2 inch pipe in the conditions to reduce the cost of the meter connections. Mr. Taeb asked for Couneil's unanimous approval. Mr. Swift explained that the fire department will determine whether any of the units need to have fire sprinklers included once the Wild Fire Management Zone is finalized. Rick Hempy, 3568 Vine Street, spoke in favor of this project. - David Glenn, 5650 Foothill Road, stated that his household uses a roadway easement that extends across the Moller property. This project would impact this easement and discussions concerning an agreement are in progress at this time. He requested that any discussion regarding the easement be continued to the next City Council meeting. He concurred with moving the security gate over to B Court because of a fire hazard. Margaret Traey, 1262 Madison Avenue, Livemore, Preserve Area Ridgelands Committee, spoke in opposition to this project. She believed that no homes should be built on the east side of the ridge. PARC has the following concerns: 1) is there a condition which requires a letter from the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency accepting completion of the work plan to clean up the ground water before any building permits are issued; 2) how many heritage trees are to be cut down; 3) has State Fish and Game approved the bulldozing out of the pond in order to make it deeper and how would that prove beneficial to the wildlife; and 4) will there be sufficient water supply to fill the water tank. In response to Ms. Dennis' questions, Mr. Swift stated that it would be possible to add a condition for clean up but it would be a duplication of one that currently exists by Alameda County. He then explained the tree replacement ratio change. Approximately 14 trees are scheduled to be removed. 09/07/93 11
