225 Mayor Mercer stated he was concerned about the width of the streets, and felt that they should be 32 feet wide with a 4 foot sidewalk. Mr. Parrish stated thatl with rolled curbs the streets would be 28 feet wide with 4 foot sidewalks, which makes the ~roJect more financially viable. Mayor Mercer stated he felt this width would create problems with parking within the project and be hazardous and detri- mental to emergency vehicles. Mr. Barker stated that reduction of the street to 28 feet wide W6uld prohibit any on-street parking and that parking regulations would be enforced by the homeowners association, and that all safety aspects can be achieved.' Councilmember Butler questioned the ability of the homeowners associa- tion being responsible for parking enforcement and other functions that will be re- quired of this group. Mr. Hirst assured Council this is a reasonable approach that can be successful with the controls that will be established by the CC&R's. Councilmember Mohr asked about the wearability of the mobile home units. Mr. Barker stated the durability is equal to that of a regular single-family conven- tional home. Mr. Parrtsh advised that the exterior of the units is constructed to withstand moving from the factory, and the interior also has to be flexible to be transported. He stated that all materials meet HUD codes and that the units are built of q~alitymaterials. Mr. Roger Manning, President of the Vintage Hills Homeowners Association, stated this group had met and received a presentation from Mr. Parrish regarding the pro- ject. He stated this group's concerns have been answered regarding traffic, density, and the homeowners association. He stated it is his understanding that Pico Avenue extension will be completed as scheduled. Mr. Manning stated that other concerns regarding lack of adequate open space have been met. He stated the group looked at alternate uses for the site and with everything considered felt this project was a better answer than other low cost single-family housing. He stated that the Vintage Hills Homeowners Association felt there were no major objections to this project. Mr. Manning stated that an overriding consideration that should be considered by Council is whether the City of Pleasanton wants to see this type of housing concen- trated in this part of town. Mr. Manning stated he personally felt there were sites in Pleasanton that lend better to this type of housing and are more accessible to community facilities already completed, and to public transportation. He requested Council to address this issue. Mr. Charles Buso, Hacienda Mobile Home Park, stated he had no basic objections to this new concept. He stated the homeowners association will have much more re- sponsibility than most homeowners associations. He expressed concern that no meet- ing room has been provided for them to conduct their business. Mr. Buso asked who would be responsible for any water or sewage repairs that might be required. Mr. Warnick advised that a distinction would have to be made regarding which utilities are private and which are public, and that each party would be responsible for their own. Mr. Buso stated he thought the project is a good idea, but felt a meeting room should be provided for the homeowners association. The following persons spoke in opposition to the application and the negative declaration: Mr. James Griffen, 3036 Chardonnay Drive, stated he had concerns about the project. He presented a letter to the Council setting forth what he-considered as inaccuracies in the Environmental Checklist: (1) conformance of proposal with General Plan policies; (2) impact on existing uses; (3) traffic/transportation; (4) noise impact; and (5) impact on public services. Mr. Griffen elaborated on the reasons for his concern. He stated he felt the subject property should be considered for an adult mobile home park. He stated that Council should address the matter of access to the area; that Vineyard Avenue is not adequate to handle additional traffic. Mr. Griffen stated he felt the development is a good one but the location is wrong. 5. 1/26/82
