MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Mr. Ray Oliva, 3109 Camden Court, thanked Council and staff for responding to his recent problems related to vehicle damage from oil and gravel on streets and excessive speed of construction trucks in the Hacienda Business Park area. He requested Council to look into a problem at the intersection of Santa Rita Road and West Las Positas Boulevard; when making a left turn at the signal onto West Las Positas Boulevard the street merges into a one lane from two lanes creating a dangerous situation. Mr. War- nick stated that striping has not yet been done at this location but should be accom- plished by next week. He advised he would look at this situation to see if further improvements should be made so that it will be a safe intersection and street. Mr. Oliva stated he is also concerned about the rapid rate of growth in the City and re- quested Council to take a careful look at the long range ramifications of this rapid growth on the City. Mrs. Loren Lentz, 592 Ta~my Drive, stated she felt there are special problems in the Vintage Hills area; there is lots of openness but not much access. She stated there is too much development being planned for this area, and she felt an in-depth study should be done during the winter months when there will not be much construction going on. She requested that no further development be approved until better access is provided from this area to the freeway as well as Stanley Boulevard. Mr. Frank Belecky, 892 Madeira Drive, speaking for himeself, stated there is a need for a review of the access in and out of Vintage Hills, and he would like a study district to include the odd shaped lots in this area. After discussion, Council determined to expand the scope of study for the Vineyard Avenue area approved at the last meeting, to include the Vintage Hills area.
