249 Mayor Philcox declared the public hearing closed. Councilmember Brandes stated that after looking at the property several times, he was opposed to the application on the basis that it was not a desir- able type of project for. the property and would not be proper planning. Councilmember Mercer stated that while he felt there was a need for this type of facility, and after inspection of the site and talking to the Admini- strator of Valley Memorial t~spital, he was opposed to the application because of the terrain being unsuitable for elderly people, and to not consider the total property at one time was not good planning. Councilmember Herlihy stated that after consideration of all testimony, he could not make the findings that this project was in the best interests of the health safety, and welfare of the residents of Pleasanton, and this , particular application would circumvent good planning, therefore, he would vote to deny the appeal.
