substantial circumstances had occurred since 1972 to warrant termination of the agreement. He stated more consideration should be given to the Environmental Impact Report requirements. He asked if the City could force a property owner to use it's own property for access. Mr. Regalia added that a business does not want to give data because of problems with anti-trust, and that no one from the City had ever asked for the information in the agreement. There being no further testimony from the opponents, Mayor Brandes allowed public rebuttal at this time. Mr. William Kovac, 3124 Weymouth Court, stated he could not go along with the extortion threats of the gravel companies against the City. Mr. Brian Bourg, 4512 Second Street, stated he resented the implication that a money value can be placed on the disruption of peoples lives and education of children that is being effected. He urged Council to adopt the proposed ordinance, and added that he felt it was long overdue. Dr. Jerome Lukas, State of California, said he would like to clear up the 82 dba vs. 86 dba, and stated that 86 dba equals the worst possible conditions, and that Vehicle Code Section 23130.5 lists 82 dba. Dr. Lukas mentioned the potential im- pact of noise on housing values and neighborhood deterioration, calling them noise ghettos. Mr. Peter Googins, 511 Mission Drive, cited a County report dated April 21, 1964, which included resolutions from the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton, stating the need for a north/south route between Stanley Boulevard and Highway 50 with E1 Charro Interchange. Mr. Googins also quoted a letter from Caltrans to former City }~nager William Edgar, dated September 22, 1975, which supported consideration and construction of E1 Charro Road. Mr. Googins suggested one solution to get the gravels trucks off First Street would be to take out the signal lights and place stop signs at every street intersecting First Street. Mrs. Karen Mohr questioned why the added costs of rerouting gravel trucks was quoted at 35¢ during the Committee meetings and that tonight it is quoted at 50¢. She stated that the homes and school on First Street pre-date the gravel truck route being established there. She added that emission pollutants would be less by trucks driving the longer route rather than stopping and starting on First Street, and that it would be economically feasible. There being no further public testimony, Mayor Brandes declared the public hearing closed. Councilmember Wood questioned the ordinance allowing Lone Star to be the only company allowed to use First Street and the possibility of their truck traffic increasing to the level the volume is now. Mr. Brown advised the provisions of the ordinance would preclude this from happening. Mr. Brown stated that with regard to the volume of truck traffic on First Street, the City had taken actual counts on four days in March and again in May, and had also used figures from the gravel companies. Mr. Brown stated he was inclined to believe the City's figures ~ere accurate, based on all information that had been reviewed. Councilmember Mercer stated it was difficult to tell a business to change procedures but he could not see the City standing by another thirty years when the health, safety and welfare of citizens is being adversely affected. 8. 6/12~79
