Mayor Butler declared the public hearing. open on the application and the mitigated negative declaration. Mr. David Martin, partner Valley Business Associates, reviewed the history of the property. He stated there are three issues he would like to discuss: modification of truck restriction; modification of Valley Business Park's participation in certain assessment districts; and building heights on the west side of the property. Mr. Martin advised he has had some complications with tenants because of the restriction of size of trucks, adding that this is the only business park in the City of Pleasan- ton with this restriction. He stated that traffic engineers as well as consultants in acoustics have been hired to complete studies on the situation, which show that truck traffic will not adversely affect the area. He stated he is willing to install a soundwall and that he is also proposing to install landscaping consistent with that of the business park and to be maintained by the business park. He advised that he had received correspondence from eight residents in the area indicating they would prefer a seven foot high as opposed to nine foot high soundwall along the south side of Valley Avenue between Santa Rita Road and Valley Business Park. He stated the height of the wall should be decided by Council. Mr. Martin stated that the extension of Valley Avenue required Valley Business Park to participate in an assessment district for the acquisition of E1 Charro Road. He advised that a great deal of time and money has been spent in an attempt to acquire E1 Charro but to no avail. He requested that Valley Business Park be allowed to ex- change participation in an assessment district for the acquisition of E1 Charro Road for their participation on the Valley Avenue extension. Mr. Martin reviewed the building height consideration of 17 feet high, stating that the property has be regraded to lower the base 1-1~ feet. He stated that for further mitigation measures he has offered to install a sound wall or screening wall along the western property line. He advised there are 42 homes on the east side of Kolln Street adjacent to the park, of which 17 homes have existing fences. He re- viewed three alternatives for a soundwall or screen wall as follows: (1) installation of a 6 foot high soundwall along the entire length of the western property line of Valley Business Park; (2) installation of a 10 foot high free-standing wall (which is economically not feasible); and (3) installation of an 8 foot high soundwall 27 feet off the property line. He stated he had concerns regarding the policing of the area. He advised that he had met with the affected homeowners in an attempt to mitigate the concerns of these residents. Councilmember Brandes asked if there are any plans for opening up Kolln Street onto Valley Avenue. Mr. Martin stated that this intersection has been constructed 7. 4/26/83
