Mr. Richard Rebholz, 1951 Foxswallow Drive, stated he had moved into this resi- dence only two weeks ago and knew nothing of the proposed project at the time he purchased his property. He stated he had previously been involved with a project similar to this one and advised there are many problems associated with such a com- plex. He expressed concern that people from the complex could look into his back -- yard and swimming pool area. He stated the complex reminds him of a small Noah's ark, is not attractive, and should not be allowed in a neighborhood such as Pleasanton Valley because it will detract from the value of the homes in this area. He ex- pressed concern regarding traffic. He requested this project be delayed until the City has time to ascertain the impact of Valley Plaza No. 1 on this area. He ex- pressed concern regarding liability relative to his pool should someone climb over the fence into his yard, and also about noise during construction of the project. He reiterated his feeling that this area should be kept single-family, and that multi-family residences should be located at some other location in town. He con- cluded by stating he had talked to some of his neighbors and they were all opposed to the project. Mr. Duncan Matteson, project developer, stated that the units will have a manager and he did not anticipate any problems as described by Mr. Rebholz. He stated that the six foot masonry fence should eliminate concerns regarding noise and trespassing on to private property. Councilmember Wood stated he still had concerns about traffic in this area. There being no further testimony, Mayor Butler declared the public hearing closed on the application and the negative declaration. It was moved by Councilmember Brandes, and seconded by Councilmember Mohr, that Resolution No. 83-92, determining on the basis of a review of initial environmental study done for this project, that no significant environmental impact would occur as outlined in the City's guidelines and that a negative declaration is appropriate for PUD (Planned Unit Development)-High Density Residential zoning and development plan approval for a 154 unit multi-family residential project on approximately 8.8 acres of land located at 4323 and 4365 Valley Avenue, be adopted.
