173 Mr. Bill Allen, 3005 Ferndale Court, stated he is concerned about traffic loading onto a six lane road, particularly truck traffic. He stated he is opposed to a six lane road because of increased traffic. He felt a soundwall should be installed if the street is widened. Mr. Adolph Martinelli, representing the Staples Ranch, stated he felt there has been some misconceptions - lots of planning effort has gone into this specific plan program and he felt it is a good plan; there is low to medium density buffering next to Pleasanton Meadows in the plan. He stated the street system has been planned so as not to go through the Pleasanton Meadows neighborhood. He advised there would be no development on the Staples Ranch until the completion of E1 Charro Road and the interchange is remedied. He stated that the gravel companies will be using E1Charro Road because of the mandate to not use City streets. He stated that Staples Ranch is outside the clear zone of the Airport; any airport noise can be mitigated by soundproofing measures. He stated the County could generate a lot of money from commercial development on this property but he is not sure that is the right use of the property. He stated that Stoneridge Drive is essential to the community; all freeway improvements need to take place to accommodate any development. Ms. Phyllis Bullock, Golden Road, stated she moved to Pleasanton twenty- five years ago and there was concern about the Livermore Airport expansion at that time. She stated the Airport is a vital link to transportation. She would like to see all the land around the Airport remain an open area. Mr. Dartell Defesi, 3029 Ferndale Court, stated he would like his neigh- borhood to remain a quiet area; he is opposed to the widening of Stoneridge Drive. Mr. Rich Morton, 3440 West Las Positas, stated he strongly supports the deletion of the Martin Avenue bridge; it is insanity to increase traffic in this area. Mr. Bob Santos, 3017 Melbourne Court, stated he felt for safety reasons Martin Avenue should go through. More medium density would provide additional housing but would increase traffic on the two entrances into this area and create a hardship on the Fairlands school. He stated that commercial traffic could use Stoneridge Drive. He felt the proposed school site is wrong. He stated that if Stoneridge Drive goes along the Arroyo there needs to be a sound barrier. Overall he felt the plan as proposed is a good one. Mr. Marvin Murphy, representing Kaiser Sand and Gravel, and a twenty-eight year resident of Pleasanton, stated that the short and long range planning of E1 Charro needs to be carefully considered, especially as it relates to truck traffic. All trucks from the gravel industry will be funneled through that route. He requested that staffs from the cities involved and the county cooperate so that all concerns can be considered and worked out. He felt the staff report was sketchy; timing and funding needs to be addressed more close- ly in the Environmental Impact Report. He advised he would be sending a sum- mary letter setting forth his comments and concerns regarding the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan. Mr. Jack Smith, Attorney representing Betty Dawes, stated that many months of planning have gone into the proposed specific plan and he felt it is good planning. He felt that high density residential zoning is proper planning for 5 - 3-29-88
