Charlotte Severin, 4513 Mirador Drive, was concerned about <br />the impact of the 2,500 units already approved on the <br />infrastructure and schools. She would like to see a strong <br />hillside development ordinance in place before any further <br />hillside development is approved. She also indicated the need for <br />some green belts for hiking and to save land so the Regional Park <br /> can afford it. Places of beauty are needed to create a balance in <br /> the community. <br /> <br /> Tony Rakocija, 3233 Monmouth Court, President of the <br />Pleasanton Meadows Homeowners Association, expressed concerns <br />about traffic and air pollution and urged the Council to look at <br />what is happening to the City. <br /> <br /> Mike Faber, 833 Abbie Street, indicated he was proud of the <br />community and what has been done. He is concerned about the <br />discrepancy between the number of units already approved and what <br />is actually built. The estimated population increase is 9,100 <br />people and he feels Council should take stock of how build-out of <br />approved units will affect the city before approving more. <br /> <br /> Sandy Anderson, Realtor, expressed her opinion that there has <br />been too much growth and it should slow down. <br /> <br /> A1 McGuirk, 7858 Kentwood Way, indicated Pleasanton should be <br />self-sufficient and should be able to support all the residents <br />with public services. He is concerned about the impacts on the <br />schools and whether the level of service for public service will <br />continue at build-out. <br /> <br /> Martin Inderbitzen, 62 West Neal Street, congratulated <br />Council and staff on the growth management report. The only <br />problem Pleasanton has is improving circulation. He feels the <br />deficiency with schools is that they cannot be built fast enough, <br />but that is not the fault of Council. <br /> <br /> Paula Lapham, 901 Sherman Way, expressed concern about the <br />schools. <br /> <br /> There being no further testimony, Mayor Mercer declared the <br />public hearing closed. <br /> <br /> Councilmember Brandes expressed concern about the abilities <br />of fire and police to continue the level of service and how much <br />money it would take to protect the unbuilt residential and <br />commercial projects. <br /> <br /> Chief Hill indicated it would take approximately $800,000 for <br />the new Vintage Hills fire station; $196,00 for an engine and <br />$450,00 to $500,000 in personnel costs. In response to a question <br />about the five minute response time, Chief Hill indicated with the <br />new fire station the Department can maintain that, but not without <br />the station. <br /> <br /> 6-6-89 <br /> -6- <br /> <br /> <br />
