"We, the undersigned, believe that: 1) Pleasanton has many serious traffic problems; 2) Increased commercial and industrial development will greatly compound these problems unless additional access is provided for the areas being developed; 3) That truck traffic should be reduced on streets which pass through residential areas. This includes both Sunol Boulevard and Santa Rita Road. "We, therefore urge the Council to: 1) Take immediate steps to open E1 Charro Road to the public; 2) Establish E1 Charro Road as the truck route in and out of Pleasanton to the greatest possible extent; 3).Delay all commercial aad industrial development in the vicinity of the southern end of E1 Charro until it is established as the truck access to this area. Regarding sewerage capacity, Mr. Pearson presented data relative to capacity already con~nitted. tle stated the City has a legal obligation to provide City services and should not commit more than can be provided. He stated he felt sewer .services should be assessed so there will not be any litigation. He added he felt the developer should not be required to expend any further money on the property until services can be adequately assured. Mr. Pearson stated he had x~itten a letter to the City Attorney last month regarding some questions he had relative to sewer services but as yet had not received a response. Mr. Pearson urged Council to resolve the concerns of land use, traffic and sewerage capacity before approving this application. Mr. Peter Googins, 511 Mission Drive, stated he was not opposed to the zoning change to PUD, however, he was concerned about the voluminous number of commer- cial trucks on City streets. He requested that no building permits be granted until E1 Charro Road is opened. He stated he felt a total comprehensive plan of the industrial park should be provided by the developer before any portion of the park is approved. Dr. Denton John, 3684 Chillingham Court, expressed concern regarding the safety of school children along Santa Rita Road. He stated there was a possibility that bussing would be eliminated next year thereby increasing the potential hazard to children in this area. Dr. John stated he felt it was unreasonable for Kaiser to sell this land and then not to provide access with the road for business. Dr. John added that restrictions placed on applications were not always enforced. He cited a Kilpatrick Bread Truck entering its warehouse location on Old Santa Rita Road at 2:30 a.m., last week, noting the firm's use permit prohibited delivery at that hour. Dr. John urged Council not to approve this project until E1 Charro Road is opened and the businesses have access to it. Councilmember Butler asked Dr. John if he reported the Kilpatrick truck violation. Dr. John replied that he did not. Council- member Butler suggested that Dr. John advise the Planning Department of this viola- tion. Mr. Lowell Beasley, 3673 Cambridge Court, stated that Pleasanton's motto is "The City of Planned Progress" and to achieve this he felt it is imperative to know the different uses that the developer intends for this development in order to calculate the sewer capacity that will be required and to determine the impact of truck traffic. He urged the opening of E1 Charro Road and felt this should be made a condition before the project is approved. Mr. Caroline rebutted the concerns of the opponents. He stated he was willing to participate in assessment district relative to E1 Charro Road, and was also 6. 1/8/80
