He stated the residents of Pleasanton Gardens have had much damage to their apartments and have lost many personal effects; and now they are fearful of further flooding. He stated they would appreciate any assistance available through the City of Pleasanton, otherwide rents may have to be increased to pay for the damage caused by the flood. He advised there needs to be a permanent and comprehensive solution to the flooding prob- lem. He advised that the cost of extracting water and shampooing the carpets totalled $7,000.00. He requested the City assist Pleasanton Gardens in seek- ing any financial aid that might be available for the project and also for personal property. He asked Council to direct City staff to prepare and im- plement a plan to prohibit further flooding; and if it be necessary, to post- pone additional development in the area until the capacity of the stream bed can handle run off from major storms. Council agreed to cooperate with Mr. Fiedler relative to his request for financial assistance and for further studies to eliminate the flooding problem. Mr. Frank Belecky, representing the Vintage Hills Homeowners Association, presented a letter from this group requesting parking be restricted on the north side of Tawny Drive between Bernal Avenue and Norton Way from the hours of 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Councilmember Butler stated the Flair Market parking lot has not been used as originally envisioned; that gravel trucks are parking overnight in the lot. Perhaps if these trucks were not allowed to park there, then there would be more room for others. 3-4-86 - 5
