367 where the boundaries are. What she wanted out of this was primarily what was received. She was not expecting the Sunol extension and she has a great deal of concern where that stands. She stated the Specific Plan lays out what could happen in the ultimate build-out of the city. She stated the Specific Plan would reflect the year to year changes in the five year re- evaluation. She wanted enough specificity that Council could go ahead with capital improvements projects and after five years, the improvements would have to be torn out and started over again. The Sunol extension comes closest to all of these recommendations and even that is something that is put on the drawing board for an evaluation.

He asked if staff had notified the owners of that property. Mr. Walker advised that they have not been notified. Mayor Mercer stated he wondered who has been notified regarding this Plan and who has not. Mayor Mercer stated that the report staff is recommending adoption of all improvements contained in the Specific Plan as approved by the Planning Commission. He asked that if everything that was included in the plan was built would it come back to Planning Commission and Council for approval before it was built.
