He stated it has been brought to the attention of the City and the County that there is a question relative to the center line of Vineyard Avenue. He stated it was his opinion that Vineyard Avenue has a bend that does not belong there. He felt the matter of the correct alignment of Vineyard Avenue should be es- tablished. He stated this parcel will create an awkward penisula if annexed to the City, and there will also be a number of problems. He asked Council to delay or deny the annexation until all questions have been answered regarding the Vineyard Avenue road alignment, alternate access possibilities, condemna- tion, and the improvements that were to be made by the developer of Shadow Cliffs project.

He presented photographs showing elevation of the Shadow Cliffs project against his property. He stated there is confusion between the City and the County regarding Vineyard Avenue alignment; he felt the center line should be verified and determine where the road should be. He stated his property is useless without adequate access, and the corner point is causing the problem. He stated that the Shadow Cliffs development retain- ing wall was already completed using what may have been the wrong centerline reference. He added that he has tried to communicate with Mike Harris, the City of Pleasanton, Ridgewood Construction, and others regarding ordering an- nexation, but had not received any response. He requested the annexation be denied because it would eliminate access to his property and make it unuse- able. He stated he wuuld like to see a development plan for the Harris property. 8 - 11-3-87
