237 <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers Butler, Mohr, and Mayor Mercer <br />NOES: Councilmembers Brandes and Tarver <br />ABSENT: None <br /> <br />item 9c <br />SP-88-3, Application of the City of Pleasanton and Stoneridge <br />Drive Property Owners to adopt the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan <br />for a 293 acre site located south of 1-580, west of E1 Charro <br />Road, north of Trenery Drive, and east of the Gatewood Apartments <br /> Mr. Swift presented his report (SR 89:63) dated February 7, <br />1989, regarding this matter. <br /> <br /> Mayor Mercer declared the public hearing open on this item. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lou Baldacci, Far West Associates, stated he has been <br />involved with the Specific Plan for over two years and would <br />encourage a favorable vote so that he can proceed with <br />development. <br /> <br /> Mr. Jack Smith, Attorney representing the Dawes Family, <br />stated the Dawes property was originally a part of Trenery Lane; <br />old Trenery Lane was protected by creating a barrier to the rear <br />of the houses and eliminating access to Trenery Lane. He felt <br />this should be a part of the findings. The Dawes property is no <br />longer a part of this area and will end up on New Stoneridge <br />Drive, making it not suitable for the rural atmosphere. He is <br />proposing that it be developed with multiple-density. He stated <br />this will allow high density against the medium density <br />residential proposed for the Molinaro property. He disagreed with <br />the staff report regarding density for the property. He stated <br />that high density housing of moderate income is needed in <br />Pleasanton and this is an appropriate place. He stated there are <br />a variety of planning tools to accomplish this and this parce% <br />could be used for high density. He set forth suggested language <br />that would allow this to take place. He stated he has a plan here <br />tonight showing how high density would look on this parcel. Mayor <br />Mercer stated that Council is only considering the Specific Plan <br />at this hearing and would not be interested in looking at a <br />development plan at this time. <br /> <br /> Mr. Richard Olmstead, Architect, San Francisco, stated he has <br />done a plan that will accomplish high density rather well. He <br />stated that the high density is two-story garden type homes, and <br />that the nineteen units/acre are not really high density. He <br />advised they will be feathered in with other densities in the <br />area, and they will be well landscaped. He stated that design is <br />the key for this high density project. <br /> <br /> Mr. Adolph Martinelli, Alameda County Planning, representing <br />Alameda County and the Staples Ranch, stated he concurs with the <br />staff report. All high density has been removed from the Staples <br />Ranch near the Airport and it is no longer necessary to have <br /> <br /> - 9 - 2-7-89 <br /> <br /> <br />
