71 Ann Gillotte, 981 Hopkins Way, asked that Independence and San Antonio Streets remain closed. She stated that she supported the School Board's decision in selling its property for the monies needed. She asked if the 15,000 sq. ft. lot sizes that abut Ventana Hills were going to still be maintained in the Plan. She asked if Council could require large rear yard setbacks for those properties. She wanted to maintain a rural atmosphere for those properties which back up to the low density areas. Mayor Mercer answered that rear yard setbacks would be discussed in the design of the project. Sue Frost, 990 Sycamore Road, believed that the south collector road should not be brought into the Alisal and Happy Valley area. She was opposed to having the collector street going through her property. She felt the stubs for the southern collector should be placed on the developing properties, not the existing properties. Ms. Frost explained that a park should not be placed on the school property because it would be next to a livestock area where someone could potentially be hurt or they could hurt the. livestock. Judy Greg, 530 Sycamore Road, spoke in favor of the Specific Plan but asked that the density be changed to 10,000 to 12,000. She felt that the School District should save its money and not build a park there. Jim Lavey, 547 Sycamore Road, spoke in favor of this project. He explained the years of processing which resulted in a compromise. He asked that this item be approved. Mike Hanes, 986 Sycamore Road, stated that for the last five years the residents had assumed because this was a rural area and the lots were bigger, they could keep the existing wells. Steve De Long, 2142 Palmer Drive, felt that this project was in the interest for the community and would generate money for the School District. He supported the Specific Plan and asked for approval. Ann Green, 386 Sycamore Road, spoke in opposition to this project. She read her parents' letter addressed to the Council. She stated that a section of her property would lose 54 feet, plus a 75 foot buffer zone should Sycamore Road be widened to accommodate a collector road. She felt that the collector road would entice faster traffic to and from the freeway. This plan should be renamed the South Pleasanton Plan to accommodate the South Pleasanton developers. She believed that the atmosphere would drastically change because of the reconfiguration at the west end of her property. ~7
