233 is not reasonable for the area. They are already affected by gravel trucks and the freeway and feel it would be unfair to add more traffic and noise. He added these concerns were voiced last March, and voiced again at the Planning Commission public hearing. The Specific Plan will create problems if approved as presented. Mr. Kevin Kennedy, 3533 Helen Drive, stated his concern is high density; approximately 4,000 units have been completed or are in the process of being built near Mohr Park. He does not feel it is necessary to build out to that level, seeing the vacancy rate that exists now in already completed apartments. He urged Council to take more time to see what happens. Mr. Rick Martinez, 3718 Kamp Drive, stated he bought his home in Mohr Park because it was a quiet area; the traffic situation on the proposed Stoneridge Drive will make noise and traffic impacts unacceptable. He stated there will be a traffic bottleneck going from three lanes to two lanes from the freeway, it will be too close to the park, it will increase truck traffic, and he felt E1 Charro Road will cause problems. He requested that Council continue this item so that the impacts can be further reviewed. Mr. G. Verissimo, 3534 Helen Drive, stated his concern is traffic going from Stoneridge to Livermore; traffic will divert from 1-580 to this thoroughfare. He felt density has not been discussed enough with the surrounding community. He stated this plan has only been before the residents in this area for about two weeks even though it has been in the works for 2-1/2 years. He asked that a decision on this matter be postposed in order to get more public input. He also felt the six lane street should be reduced to four lanes. Mr. John Boultier, 3440 Vermont Place, stated he is opposed to the alignment and feels it will directly impact the residents living in this area. He felt the City should require the developers to file a disclosure statement about what might happen in this area; he stated that when he bought his home he was not told nor did he have any idea these plans were being considered. He stated he bought his home on the Arroyo for its view from his back yard; to build a soundwall would completely destroy that view. He asked what protection a soundwall would have on his second-story level. He proposed that the street elevation be recessed in the ground and build a landscape wall so as not to impact residents along this route. He also opposed high density zoning to the east of the Chu property as it is directly in the path of the airport. Mr. Dave Stanley, 1821 Rheem Court, stated he is concerned about the future and controlled growth. He asked Council not to vote in favor the this Specific Plan. He also requested Council to form a Task Force Committee to work together to preserve what they already have. - 11 - 2-7-89
