51 a halt to the project if 3,000 ADT began to be violated. He then referred to the EIR and staff recommendations regarding water supply. He said that the staff report reflected that there is a possibility that there will not be enough water for this project. The EIR did not report on different configurations for the golf course. Mr. Tichinin believed that Concept E for the golf course needed to be included in the EIR because it was drafted after the EIR was processed. He listed different ways that he believed this plan violated the General Plan. It should be determined whether or not feasibility should be an issue rather than desirability. Larry Schneider, 1375 Bordeaux Street, President of Kottinger Ranch Homeowners Association, recapped the position of the Homeowners Association. The Association had come to a concensus as to what it would like from the development and disregarded the timing of the project. They wanted to be assured that the ADT through the community did not exceed the 3,000 threshold. They also asked that there be a secondary access. They hoped that all of the surrounding communities take a look at the traffic mitigations. Becky Dennis, 838 Grey Fox Circle, represented Pleasanton Area Ridgelands Committee (PARC). She believed that the neighborhood had done an excellent job of outlining the impacts on their neighborhood regarding traffic, water, schools and the loss of the oak woodlands. PARC's primary concern is the oak woodlands. She indicated that Blue Oak forests are becoming more endangered throughout the state. She questioned the need for the golf course. She was greatly concerned with grading before the homes were built. The 58 acres of oak woodland that would be lost before growth management approval was granted would not be replaced for over 100 years. She did not believe that the Blue Oak woodland should be removed when the proposed housing may never get built. She agreed that the EIR was not complete. Mary Roberts, 1666 Vineyard Avenue, spoke in regard to the secondary access route. She was told by City staff that the secondary access route had the potential to go through her property. She realized that this was a matter of eminent domain. She was also concerned about the temporary route which would be used for the construction period of the project. She was opposed to this route because it would cause noise and dust and because trucks would exit to Vineyard, which is not a straight road and could be dangerous. She was also concerned about how water would be found for the golf course, and was upset about the loss of Blue Oaks. 9/15/92 25
