449 Mayor Butler declared the public hearing open on the application and the nega- tive declaration. Mr. Jim Stratton, Manager of Vorelco, 7106 Johnson Drive, stated that basically he is in favor of this application. He asked Council support on a matter that is in the hand of the assessment district engineers for design and relocation of the Alamo Canal. He stated the present Cam21 runs due north and south but the engineers have shown a canal that comes easterly under Stoneridge Drive and back to the present canal, which absorbs several acres of land owned by Vorelco. He stated that Alameda County Flood Control is unaware of the study for realignment of the canal and are not in favor of a turn in the canal. Mr. Stratton stated that Vorelco would like to sell some of this land but could not do so under the present situation. He stated they need to know what is going to happen to this property as soon as possible. Mr. Stratton requested Council to consider painting a yellow line on Johnson Drive for better controlled traffic lanes. Mayor Butler presented a letter from Kenneth C. Scheidig, 2340 Tice Valley Blvd., Walnut Creek, on behalf of the Dillingham Corporation, expressing support for the re- commendation of the City staff and Planning Commission for approval of this item. No one in the audience spoke in opposition to the application or the negative declaration. There being no further testimony, Mayor Butler declared the public hearing closed on the application and the negative declaration. Mr, Warnick stated that the City has hired the firm of Mark Thomas to review traf- fic studies and possible improvements to be done as part of the proposed North Pleasanton assessment district, including construction of the interchange at Stone- ridge and 1-680. Alternate designs are being used in determining eosts, including a design requiring realignment of the Alamo Canal. He explained that this is not neces- sarily the final design; that the City has not started the final detail work yet. Such work normally follows Council approval of a petition to create an assessment · Cit ' district It is the y s hope to have Council approve a petition in May and to begin engineering studies that will determine which is the most appropriate design, but that completion of these studies is probably six months away. Mr. Warnick stated he would have the Staff Traffic Committee review the possibility of having a yellow line painted on Johnson Drive. It was moved by Councilmember Brandes, and seconded by Councilmember Mohr, that Resolution No. 82-141, determining on the basis of a review of initial environmental study done for this project, that no significant environmental impact would occur as Cit ' outlined in the y s guidelines and that a negative declaration is appropriate to rezone three parcels of land (Parcels A, B, and C, Parcel Map 2566) totalling approxi- mately 16.7 acres from the I-G (General Industrial) District to the P.U.D.
