REPORTS OF THE CITY MANAGER ~tem 12a Review of Unimproved Riqht of Way Area on Montevine Road Brent Partridge stated that he came before Council in June and left the meeting feeling confident that the area next to his property would be landscaped. He spoke with Mr. Fulford, Landscape Architect, who asked him what he wanted on the property and if he were willing to purchase the property. He told Mr. Fulford that he was asking for the property to have grass and trees. He said that staff told him that most likely, that area would not be developed into an intersection. He said that the neighbors objected to having to landscape the area themselves. Mr. Partridge believed that there were no other areas like this in Pleasanton. He felt that it would benefit the neighborhood to have an area for the children to play in. He then explained that all new developments require one tree to be planted in the front of the homes. He asked why that money could not be used to landscape this small parcel. He asked where the park dedication from new development monies get applied. He pointed out that this was an unpleasant site next to $700,000 homes. Mayor Mercer explained how park dedication funds are spent. Mr. Tarver asked if Mr. Partridge would consider purchasing this parcel if the Council decided it was surplus. Mr. Partridge answered yes. Mayor Mercer asked Mr. Partridge if it was his intent to build a park on the parcel if he bought it. Mr. Partridge said that he would like to place a hedge and fence around it and use it as a back yard. 7/21/92 11
