413 <br /> <br />Ms. Erlene DeMarcus, a member of the Bay Area Rapid Transit <br />(BART) Board of Directors, stated that the BART Dublin/Pleasanton <br />Extension (DPX) Project staff was present and would answer any <br />questions Council may have about the Environmental Impact Report <br />(EIR). <br /> <br /> Mr. Brandes commended the document as being well done and <br />very helpful. <br /> <br /> Ms. Marianne Payne, Manager of the DPX Project, stated that <br />BART has until the end of February 1990 to complete its EIR which <br />would involve addressing all comments and issues raised through <br />the public hearing process. After all the technical issues have <br />been settled and the final report is done, it would be appropriate <br />to get the City's position on the policy issues. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer indicated that as soon as the final report comes <br />out, it would be put on the Agenda so the Council can take a <br />position on it. He added that Council could recommend that it go <br />to the Tri-Valley Transportation Committee as well, which includes <br />five cities in two counties. <br /> <br /> Mr. Butler commented that environmentally and from the <br />standpoint of both traffic and parking, Alternative 2 with the <br />extra station is essential. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lyman Higgins, 2171 Goldcrest Circle, expressed his <br />preference for Alternative 3 over the other alternatives. He <br />commented that motorists using either the Stoneridge Drive/I-680 <br />Interchange or the Las Positas Interchange would be required to <br />drive through residential areas, which would mean heavier traffic <br />on these City streets. He added that parking and noise would be <br />additional problems that need to be addressed. Parking at the <br />Stoneridge Station could spill over into the mall parking area and <br />have an impact on the businesses there. He urged the Council to <br />encourage the selection of Alternative 3, the Hacienda Station <br />only. There is better freeway access and fewer residential areas <br />nearby. The vacant area surrounding the station would allow <br />designs to mitigate the problems. <br /> <br />Item 12b <br />Mohr House Status Report <br /> <br /> Ms. Bengtson presented her report (SR 89:455) regarding the <br />matter. <br /> <br /> Ms. Beverly Tobey, 12171 Hilltop Drive in Los Altos Hills, <br />stated that she and her husband have restored a ll5-year old house <br />in Boulder, Colorado, and were interested in restoring the Mohr <br />House as a private residence, as it has some architectural value <br />which they would like to preserve. The City Council would need to <br />approve the Mills Act and have the Mohr House listed with the <br />National Historic Registry of the State to take advantage of tax <br />credits. <br /> <br /> -17- <br /> 10-31-89 <br /> <br /> <br />
