387 Mr. Peter Turner, Attorney representing Thomas McManus, gave background information on the property and requested favorable consideration by Council. The following persons spoke in opposition to the application and amended land swap proposal: E. G. Meyer, 2510 Skylark, who presented two petitions signed by 310 residents, which read as follows: "We the undersigned, object to the City of Pleasanton considering ~ , the re-zoning of land from Parks and Recreation to medium density residential and subsequent trading of the land as specified in the application of T. McManus for a general plan amendment. We have specifically purchased our homes because they border a public park and have paid a heavy premium for this privilege. Those of us who do not directly border the park were largely influenced. by the fact our children could be very near to sports and recreation facilities. Any rezoning would ruin our hopes, desires and dreams for ourselves and our children for the future. We consider it outrageous for the city to grant a change in location of the park at this late date after a community has been built around it and respectfully request no changes be made. We wish to avoid legal maneuvers, class action litigation and much ill will that would inevitably develop and would be extremely costly to ourselves and the city of Pleasanton." and "We, the undersigned, object to the City of Pleasanton considering the re-zoning of land from parks and recreation to medium density housing as per the application for a land trade with the City by T. McManus on April 12, 1978. Mohr Avenue would be the sole access street for an additional 300 homes and would make this street a highly dangerous one to live on for ourselves and children. This could only cause a deterioration in value of our homes. We again ask the City not grant this at the hearing on April 25, 1978, as they would be responsible for the above mentioned hazards which would be likely to occur at some future date."
