Mr. Mike Cooper, Bissell and Karn, representing the property owners, described
<br /> the details of the proposed plan; addressing lot sizes, street pattern, preservation
<br /> of trees, custom houses minimum of 2,500 sq. ft., utilities, density of Cartlidge
<br /> parcel, and provision of street for emergency access. He advised there are two PUD
<br /> applications because the parcels are not contiguous. He reviewed the background of
<br /> the applications, stating that two property owners in the total parcel, Messrs. Skinner
<br /> and Combs, declined to be a part of the proposed development. Mr. Cooper stated the
<br /> property owners have concern about two of the conditions: Condition No. 2 - the owners
<br /> ask that the direction that the houses face on Martin Avenue be left uncommitted until
<br /> plans are submitted for approval; and Condition 21 - regarding payment of in lieu fees
<br /> for traffic signalization at the intersection of Santa Rita Road and Trenery Drive,
<br /> the owners felt there is not any significant need for a signal at this location because
<br /> of the realignment of Trenery which will cause traffic to use Mohr Avenue. Mr. Cooper
<br /> concluded by stating that the plan presented tonight is agreed upon by the five pro-
<br /> perty owners involved, it meets the requirements as set forth by Council in their over-
<br /> all guidelines for development of this area, and he asked that it be approved.
<br />
<br /> Dr. Walter Panganiban, 3750 Camron Avenue, stated the development plans submitted
<br /> tonight follow the objectives of the 1982 study of the Mohr/Martin area, meet the low
<br /> density requirements, and are consistent with surrounding construction. He stated the
<br /> owners have met many times in an effort to mitigate the concerns of the neighbors,
<br /> Planning staff, Planning Commission and City Council relative to variable size and
<br /> shape of lots, preservation of trees, minimal grading, fencing, density, and street
<br /> light layout; adding that the preservation of individual property rights have been
<br /> observed. He requested approval of the proposed development.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Dean Wagerman, 2333 Martin Avenue, stated this area is the largest lot subdivi-
<br /> sion, not in the FoothillRoad area, to be developed and that there is a need for this
<br /> type of housing in the community, adding that the land is 100% usable. He stated the
<br />.... owners would like to leave the direction of facing of houses open. He added that he
<br /> would like to have gotten the two remaining property owners involved in the develop-
<br /> ment plan but the plan has been left open for development of that area within the
<br /> guidelines set forth by Council in 1983.
<br />
<br /> Mrs. Joyce Berger, Pleasanton resident, stated that what is being proposed would
<br /> add to the area, is a positive approach, and she would recommend approval.
<br />
<br /> Mr. John Sutter, 1796 Beachwood Way, stated this development offers large size
<br /> lots within the range of the Amador High School, and that he is interested in this
<br /> type of development and would urge approval of the application.
<br />
<br /> The following persons spoke in opposition to this matter:
<br />
<br /> Mr. A1 Wiemken, Trenery Drive, presented his letter dated February 22, 1984,
<br /> stating that the application does not meet the requirements of Ordinance No. 1065
<br /> in that the entire 35 acres is not included in the development plan. He stated he
<br /> felt all houses on Martin Avenue should face the street, he had concerns about dead-
<br /> end streets, and the low density line. He presented an alternate plan that would
<br /> include the Skinner and Combs property, and that would meet the requirements of
<br /> Ordinance No. 1065.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Bill Black, Martin Avenue, objected to consideration by Council of the map
<br /> presented by Mr. Wiemken. Mayor Butler stated that the map submitted by Mr. Wiemken
<br /> would not be discussed or considered by Council at this meeting.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Dave Gonsalves, 2215 Martin Avenue, stated he has concern for the area in
<br /> general; that a lot of action by the City and County has taken place without input
<br /> from the residents in the area. He stated he is opposed to the installation of curbs
