151 Richard Flynn, 1630 North Main #134, Walnut Creek, represented the Green family. He requested that Medium Density Residential be applied to the Green's parcel. He explained that it would not be likely that the redesignation of the Green's property would result in the creation of spot zoning Parcel 6 and 7 developed into residential uses. Mr. Flynn urged Council to impose development standards that would preclude the installation of a soundwall. He also asked that the 75 foot set back standard be omitted. Gary Van Wegen, 488 Sycamore Road, believed that the 75 foot set back was consistent with requirements for all other properties. The Green's property was not ever considered for Medium Density Residential. Mr. Van Wegen indicated that everyone worked very hard with the Greens on this planning process and many changes were made. He felt that the Greens' request was inconsistent with the proposed plan. Ron Horan, 876 Bonita Avenue, disagreed with Mr. Van Wegen's comments. He was in favor of the plan and felt that it would be a good addition to the City of Pleasanton. He asked that Council support the Greens' request for reconsideration of designating their property to Medium Density Residential. Mr. Tarver asked what would a Medium Density Residential zoning on the remaining part of the Greens' property yield. Mr. Swift replied Medium Density could allow between two and eight units to the acre. Mihran Krikorian, 6425 Randall Court, Rosepoint Development, was concerned with the effect of having two to eight units per acre near his neighborhood. He felt that the two Medium Density areas should be restricted to single-story units and should be 200 feet from the rear property line. Chuck Eddinger, 3445 Touriga Drive, spoke on behalf of the Pleasanton School Board. He stated that the Board generally agrees with the staff report. At previous meetings the Board had requested that there be one acre parcels on Sycamore Road and 15,000 square foot lots at the northern area of this plan. He again made the same request. He wanted approval of 85 units for the 42.5 acre parcel. Sharon Caldara, 911 Sycamore Road, expressed her concern in developing this area. She felt that this plan was going to ruin the area. She was greatly concerned that the new residents would complain of the farming smells, noise, and activities that come from these existing homes. She was concerned for her children's safety due to the traffic this project will create~ Ms. Caldara was afraid that the existing residents would have to change their life styles to accommodate the new residents. She felt that it was not right to close roads off because of the new residents' 3/17/92 9
