349 The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Brandes, Mercer, Mohr, Wood and Mayor Butler NOES: None ABSENT: None Mayor Butler suggested the City of Pleasanton should send a letter of congratulations to the new City of San Ramon and wish it good luck in controlling its own destiny. Councilmember Mercer appealed the minor PUD modification of the Brielh Homes project in order that citizens in the area be fully aware of what is happening. Councilmember Brandes supported the appeal and would like it on the next agenda. Councilmember Brandes felt that the approval of the tentative map for Tract 5117, Crocker Homes, should be brought before Council for review due to traffic problems near Sports Park and to look at alternatives that may be possible towards connecting the Sports Park over to West Las Positas. Councilmember Mohr indicated concern about the raised dots in front of Mission Park being beyond the crosswalk and felt the Traffic Committee should look at this at their next meeting. Mr. Warnick indicated staff could resolve the problem without going to the Committee. CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS Councilmember Mohr attended the ABAG meeting and indicated they had been very concerned about the cities, counties, state and even federal agencies being able to maintain the quality of the roadways as well as water lines and sewer lines. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Mr. Raymond Kaupp, 435 Abbie Street, spoke to Council regarding the traffic problem on Abbie Street which begins every Spring with the opening of the softball league. The street narrows from 45' to 27' and there are no sidewalks for the children to use. Mayor Butler indicated the Engineering Department would check on the problem and report to the Traffic Committee. Councilmember Mercer indicated the President of the Softball League should be contacted to advise him of the problem and to encourage his cooperation in enforcing the speed limit among his players. The Chief of Police should be alerted to step up control of this area and if they cannot control the problem, then simply close the parking lot and force the players to park at Pleasanton Elementary School and walk to the field. Mr. Chris Todaro, 395 Abbie Street, indicated all these steps have been done before and it works for a while then reverts back to the original pattern. It was moved by Councilmember Mercer, and seconded by Councilmember Brandes, to (1) send a letter to the President of the League seeking his cooperation in controlling the problem (2) increase police patzol to insure obeyance of speed limits and require the Chief to report back to Council on their efforts, and (3) if all else fails, then close the gates to the parking lot. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Brandes, Mercer, Mohr, Wood and Mayor Butler NOES: None ABSENT: None David Oxsen, 380 Abbie Street, wanted to know how he could inform Council if all these measures do not work and it was the consensus of Council that any of the residents could call them at their homes directly. -3- 3/22/83
