124 <br /> <br /> Ms. Jocelyn Combs, Member of the Board of Directors of the <br /> East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), stated that she was not <br /> aware that the alignment would affect the District until she read <br /> the Staff Report. She indicated that the EBRPD is currently <br /> working with Alameda County on the alignment of the Iron Horse <br /> Trail, which would go through a particular portion of Stanley <br /> Boulevard, the only portion in Pleasanton that is owned not by the <br /> County but by a developer. She pointed out that all the options <br /> call for a ll6-foot right-of-way and that there would be space for <br /> a 20-foot iron horse type pedestrian/bicycle trail. She requested <br /> that the City reserve that portion of Stanley Boulevard for the <br /> trail alignment and work with the EBRPD on its design. <br /> <br /> Mr. Joseph Madden, 1544 Santa Rita Road, stated that in a memo <br /> Mr. Irby and he sent to the City, he indicated that the City should <br /> make a decision on the Stanley Boulevard expansion so that the <br /> public and the property owners would know what to expect in the <br /> area. He pointed out that many of the people concerned are old <br /> timers and have a lot involved in the area. <br /> <br /> Mr. Butler stated that part of the issue involves how well the <br /> property owners would be able to plan for what would happen to <br /> their properties if Stanley Boulevard is expanded. He asked Mr. <br /> Swift if the property owners could be provided with some <br /> information on the schedule the City is looking at for both the <br /> interim and final build-out. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift replied that the project is not included in the 1990 <br /> CIP budget and that there is no timetable for the City either to <br /> acquire the property or to widen the road. He explained that staff <br /> has always assumed that the development of Stanley Boulevard would <br /> occur as projects are developed along the road, during which time <br /> staff tries to determine what kind of improvements would be <br /> necessary. Some of those projects are either temporary interim <br /> improvements or portions of the permanent improvements that would <br /> ultimately be installed. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver commented that he would like to have more time to <br /> study the matter to be able to make a good decision <br /> <br /> Mr. Butler concurred. He added that it would be worthwhile, <br /> in the meantime, for staff to meet with the property owners on the <br /> south side of Stanley Boulevard. <br /> <br /> - 26 - <br /> 11-20-90 <br /> <br /> <br />
