182 <br /> <br /> Mr. Wayne Bonde, 725 East Angela Street, stated that the -- <br /> situation on the Bonde Ranch has been altered by the construction <br /> of Angela Street, Bernal Avenue, and the access road for the water <br /> reservoir. He added that the Ranch is now ready to move on and <br /> build some houses on the site. <br /> <br /> Ms. Catherine Frye, 874 Bonde Court, stated that she was in <br /> favor of the project and the extension of Mirador Drive. She <br /> indicated that she would rather have low density residential units <br /> in her backyard now than have low-income housing in eight years. <br /> She added that she preferred one-story homes next to existing <br /> dwellings and that she was in favor of the extension of Mirador <br /> Drive. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wayne Strickler, 851 Independence Court, a Pleasanton <br /> resident for 20 years and a member of the Ventana Hills Steering <br /> Committee, indicated his support for the project. He stated that <br /> the Committee, which represents a consensus of Ventana Hills <br /> residents, has reached an agreement with the applicant over project <br /> changes affecting Ventana Hills. He pointed out that the redesign, <br /> which is reflected in the Revised Mitigated Alternative Site Plan, <br /> dated April 19, 1991, significantly reduces the visual impact of <br /> the development on the Bonde Ridge. He added that he does not <br /> support the premature cancellation of the Williamson Act Contract <br /> for the Bonde Ranch, but that if Council supports its cancellation, <br /> the Committee recommends the approval of the project with the draft <br /> conditions presented in the Supplemental Staff Report. He <br /> requested that the open space area designated on site plan be <br /> accessible to the public and maintained by the City to prevent any <br /> future development in the area. He further requested that the <br /> Letter of Understanding, dated April 19, 1991, between the <br /> applicant and the Ventana Hills Steering Committee, be adopted as <br /> an additional Condition of Approval. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mike Faber, 833 Abbie Street, President of Pleasanton <br /> Heights Homeowners Association and the Regional Homeowners <br /> Association, stated that he had presented a letter to the Council <br /> outlining three basic concerns: (1) that the development proceed <br /> exactly as planned, preserving 60% of the land as open space and <br /> protecting the view and the front open space; (2) that the City <br /> ensure that the project is not sold to another developer with a <br /> different plan after it has been approved; and (3) that Mirador <br /> Drive is not extended to Bernal Avenue. <br /> <br /> Ms. Scribner asked Mr. Faber how many people he represented. <br /> <br /> - 6 - <br /> 5-21-91 <br /> <br /> <br />
