Mr. Brian Swift stated that was not his interpretation of the Airport <br /> Planning Commission. He stated that due to his initial study and the fact <br /> that they received no comments from ABAG, states agencies that have to <br />~issue permits for the heliport, Livermore Airport, or anyone else sent <br />~otices, that an EIR would not be required. He stated that due to the <br />~flight pattern the heliport noise would blend into the freeway noise and <br />'~ot impact anyone in the City. <br /> <br />Mayor Mercer asked what the process would be for violators. Brian <br /> wilt stated that the first step would be to contact the abuser and should <br /> it continue to be abused the City would then begin procedures to revoke the <br /> use permit. Mr. Swift also stated that the use permit would be subject to <br /> review in 6 and 18 months, <br /> <br /> Mr. Marcot stated that this project has yet to be reviewed by the <br /> Airport Planning Commission which is scheduled for September 13th. He also <br /> ~stated that a sound recording device was placed at the intersection of <br /> Hopyard and noted that the ambient noise was greater than the helicopter in <br /> the flight pattern. <br /> <br /> Councilmember Butler stated that it seems that in not approving the <br /> use permit the City would lose any control over the helicopter air traffic. <br /> <br /> Councilmember Mohr asked in respect to the drawing of the trailer if <br /> it would be landscaped better than illustrated. Warren Sattler stated that <br /> they are to re-design and re-landscape the trailer facility to meet the <br /> approval of staff. Councilmember Mohr asked staff to alert her when this <br /> item comes to them so she can review what is proposed. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Councilmember Brandes and seconded by Councilmember <br /> Butler to approve Resolution No. 85-431, denying the appeal of the Design <br /> Review and Conditional Use Permit applications Z-85-176 and UP-85-19 and <br /> approve these cases per Planning Commission recommendations and action. <br /> The roll call vote was as follows: <br /> AYES: Councilmember Brandes, Butler, Mohr, Wood, and Mayor Mercer <br /> NOES: None <br /> ABSENT: None <br /> <br /> Modification of Downtown Pleasanton Improvement Assessment District <br /> Councilmember Mohr stated that the committee spent a great of time and <br /> .worked very hard to come up with a compromise. She stated that she felt <br /> ~he lack of attendance at the last hearing for the downtown business owners <br /> indicated that they were satisfied with the compromise reached. <br /> <br /> Mr. Joseph E. Mendez, 6028 Alisal, business located at 4377 First St., <br /> stated that he was not opposed to the Downtown Association but was opposed <br /> to Council giving authority to spend his money on advertising which does <br /> not benefit him since he is in service and not retail sales. Mr. Mendez <br /> stated that he feels the Downtown Association should help beautify the <br /> downtown area. He stated that $1500 was spent on advertising while only <br /> $300 was spent on beautification which he feels is a misuse of funds. <br /> <br /> 9-3-85 16 <br /> <br /> <br />
