Mr. Walker advised that he talked to PG&E representatives who stated <br />the problem was in the line on Black Avenue and that the line will be <br />replaced. <br /> <br />Happy Birthday <br /> Mayor Mercer stated that today is Councilmember Wilson's 68th birthday, <br />making him the oldest Councilmember that the City of Pleasanton ever had. <br />Mayor Mercer led the audience in singing Happy Birthday to Councilmember <br />Wilson. <br /> <br />COMMUNICATIONS <br />Letter from Richard Balocco and Petition from Windmill Lane Homeowners <br />Requesting Soundwall <br /> Mayor Mercer presented the letter from Richard Balocco dated July 23, <br />1987, and petition from the Windmill Lane Homeowners which read as follows: <br /> <br /> "We, as homeowners on Windmill Lane, request that the design of Ber- <br /> nal Avenue through the Bonde property include soundwalls for the <br /> purpose of soundproofing the Olde Towne development. Furthermore, <br /> we request that the soundwalls be designed using upgraded materials <br /> in order to keep with the existing decorum of our community. <br /> <br /> "Once approved, we would like the opportunity to work with you in <br /> the procuss of selecting appropriate construction of soundwalls. <br /> Please notify us of your decision as soon as possible. Any ques- <br /> tions or comments may be directed to Pam Fischer. <br /> <br /> "As a side issue, we would also like you to investigate the need for <br /> a stop sign on the south-east corner of Bernal Avenue and Windmill <br /> Way. We are concerned that there could be a safety hazard to chil- <br /> dren on bikes entering Bernal Avenue from Windmill Way. We believe <br /> this corner justifies a stop sign because of the down-hill slope. <br /> <br /> The petition was signed by 19 homeowners on Windmill Lane. <br /> <br /> Mr. Richard Balocco, 659 Windmill Lane, stated that he appeared before <br />Council at the last meeting requesting relief from several problems relative <br />the construction of a project behind homes on Windmill Lane. He advised there <br />are still problems with long hours of work, weekend construction, dust, use of <br />road, and trucks driving by their homes. Mr. Balocco stated he was not ad- <br />vised this item was going to be on the agenda, even though he had requested in <br />writing to be notified. <br /> <br /> 5 - 8-4-87 <br /> <br /> <br />
