43 residential development occurred in Zone B. Even rounding the corners would allow an additional 400-700 houses. He was anxious to adopt the original plan as proposed by Livemore and indicated Dublin is proceeding to adopt a general plan change that would affect the APA. Sylvette Phillips, 1760 Sunset Drive, Livermore, indicated she lives one and half miles from the airport. She thanked Pleasanton citizens for bringing to the pilots' attention the need to protect the airport. She pointed out that flying over the hills is difficult, so she does not want residential development to force the flight paths in that direction. This is a unique opportunity for an airport in the area to show foresight in protecting the area. Shirley Lauer, 2221 Martin Avenue, indicated nothing has been said so far about protection of the residents already living in the area. The APA may be protecting the pilots and future residents, but what is being done for existing residents? She urged an EIR to be prepared to determine the effect of increased usage of the airport on the area. She also wanted the Airport Advisory Committee to continue to meet and solve some of these problems. Those problems have just been transferred to Pleasanton. She believed a negative declaration is just not sufficient. She indicated that today there was a noisy plane overhead, even on a rainy day.

He got signatures, one every three minutes, and most were opposed. He did this to get a survey and found there is a lot of support for a complete EIR and for some cooperation between the communities in the form of the airport committee. She then referred to the map and pointed out there will be increased noise. Robert Cordtz, 262 West Angela, asked if there was a noise abatement ordinance or was there just a procedure. It was indicated by Mr. Walsh that it was a procedure. Mr. Cordtz indicated City Councils and staff change, only the developers and citizens remain. He indicated the noise abatement is merely a gentleman's agreement, however the first priority is the safe operation of the aircraft. When winds shift, the planes must fly at low altitude over Pleasanton neighborhoods. He felt that air traffic from other airports such as Concord, Hayward and Burlingame may use Livermore, so it will not take an increase in population to bring more air traffic to Livermore. Even if there were a noise ordinance, that could be changed. He asked what do we have that will guarantee that an ordinance will not be changed.
