171 the Dawes property. He suggested a buffer on both sides of Trenery Drive to preserve that area as it is now. He expressed concern about a street in the middle of the Dawes property. Mr. Max Gahrahmat, representing the Chu property, stated that a lot of planning has gone into the plan. He stated there will be a need for housing in the future and that proper landscaping should take care of the environment. Mr. John Garvin, representing the Livermore Valley Airmen's Association and the ad hoc committee of Pleasanton pilots to protect the Livermore Air- port, presented a written presentation regarding the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan. He stated it would be a serious and potentially tragic mistake to allow high density development near the Airport. To make this area medium to high density, whether by way of residential or_commercial or both, is to gamble on the future safety of such persons. He stated that pilots cannot just turn upon take-off to avoid flying over Pleasanton Meadows homes. He suggested the area be considered for light industrial or business park use. He added that high density development would create enough taxes to allow the City to extend Stoneridge Drive to connect with E1 Charro Road, but the priority should be safety rather than financing, some other means should be sought to finance such construction. Mr. Lou Baldacci, representing Far West Properties and the Molinaro prop- erty, stated the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan is a draft plan as a way to get the process started; he felt the process should proceed as quickly as pos- sible to make it a workable plan for all concerned.

If Stoneridge Drive is widened there should be a soundwall installed. He felt the Dawes property should be low density. He felt the Mohr House is not appropriate in the Mohr-Martin area. Mr. Glen Hulett, 2201 Martin Avenue, stated he felt the Dawes property should be developed as other properties in the neighborhood. He stated he is on 1.6 acres and would like to have compatible residential next to his proper- ty. He would not like to see high density next to low density. As far as Stoneridge Drive, he felt the planning is appropriate but the arroyo should be buffered. Mr. Dale Turner, Mayor of the City of Livermore, stated that the City of Livermore will oppose any development that will adversely affect the Livermore Airport. He stated Livermore wants to support and cooperate with the City of Pleasanton in resolving this issue. He stated the Staples Ranch is within the Sphere of Influence of Livermore and currently support industrial/commercial development of this area. If the Pleasanton City Council supports high densi- ty of this property then Livermore will oppose it through LAFCO, as it will impact the Livermore Airport.
