61 <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift indicated the ordinance requires growth management <br />approval prior to processing the tentative map. The tentative map <br />for this project is on the agenda for the Planning Commission for <br />the next meeting, which is why this is to Council in advance of the <br />agreement. <br /> <br /> Gene Finch, 8019 Jorgensen Lane, Community Service Director of <br />Pleasanton Rotary North, was available to answer any questions. <br /> <br /> Michael Goldsworthy, architect, 633 Abbie Street, indicated <br />the construction drawings were complete and have gone out to bid. <br />They are currently putting costs together. Soil reports have been <br />prepared. Financing is in place subject to the various approval <br />processes. The members of Rotary are ready to proceed with <br />construction. He urged Council to approve the application. <br /> <br /> Robert Cordtz, 262 West Angela, member of the Affordable <br />Housing Task Force, spoke in favor of the project and urged Council <br />to approve the application. <br /> <br /> Jerry Haakenstad, 865 Concord Street, opposed any further high <br />density housing on Palomino. He believed the area was <br />overdeveloped. He was concerned about traffic and the danger to <br />school children. The Vintage Hills residents are very upset and <br />feel their wishes for open space have been ignored. He urged <br />Council to reconsider this project. <br /> <br /> Jack Hovingh, 4250 Muirwood Drive, spoke in favor of this <br />project. This is an opportunity to provide affordable housing. <br /> <br /> There being no further testimony the public hearing was <br />closed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Scribner indicted the impact of seven units is minimal on <br />the neighborhood. This is a great community project. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr agreed with Ms. Scribner. If this were a for-profit <br />development, the units would be considerably more expensive. Any <br />profit to the Rotary will be returned to the community. She wished <br />there were more places in town for other projects like this. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico questioned whether the only profit to the Rotary was <br />a donation to the community. He understands that Rotary will <br />retain some income from this project. He wanted further discussion <br />regarding the financial aspects of the project. He was concerned <br />about the Vintage Hills residents and the clustering of too much <br />high density housing in the area. He wanted the action deferred <br />for further input. <br /> <br />01/19/93 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
