He explained the problem <br /> that he has now with people parking in his spaces for days at a <br /> time. He asked Council to reconsider the parking situation. <br /> <br /> Roy Moret, 739 Main Street, understood and sympathized with <br /> the City's problem in alleviating the parking situation. His <br /> tenants have not expressed the same concerns shared by the previous <br /> speakers. He commended the Downtown Task Force on a job well done <br /> and the interest it has shown in the community. Mr. Moret <br /> described a survey that the Task Force had conducted regarding the <br /> likes and dislikes of Pleasanton at that time. The survey showed <br /> that nobody wanted to impose a zoning change on downtown <br /> Pleasanton. He believed that the changed zoning imposes a hardship <br /> on the property owners. <br /> <br /> Brian Dutchover, 450 Main Street, shared the Chamber of <br /> Commerce's position. He reiterated the concerns with retail only <br /> and was disappointed in the property owners who had expressed their <br /> concerns with community parking on a temporary basis. He commended <br /> staff and the Task Force for the hard work and effort dedicated to <br /> the project. <br /> <br /> Sharen Heinz, 780 Main Street, was concerned with the traffic <br /> circulation on Main Street. She explained that when she bought her <br /> property she was told that Ray Street would be realigned to connect <br /> with Peters Street. She was willing to negotiate with Mr. Antonini <br /> regarding the loss of his sidewalk during the construction. She <br /> believed that it would need to be made pleasant during the <br /> reconstruction so that people do not try to avoid it. Downtown is <br /> and has been suffering for quite a while. She asked that the <br /> traffic circulation be top priority. Ms. Heinz asked that her curb <br /> driveway not have a bulge on it. <br /> <br /> Dagmar Fulton, Historical Society, asked what was the final <br /> plan regarding the museum. She was told by Mr. Iserson that there <br /> would be no specific plan approved tonight and that it would be <br /> considered at a later date. <br /> <br /> 11/17/92 20 <br /> <br /> <br />
