Mr. Donald RathJen, 1802 Halcyon Court, commented that he felt a decision on this matter should be delayed until after the General Plan Review is completed, since a decision on this controversial zoning will have a long term effect upon the City. Mrs. Anna Martinsen, 4938 Payne Road, stated she felt the residents of the area were not properly informed or given accurate information regarding land use of this property, and urged the City Council to consider limited, desirable in- dustry for this parcel. She further stated her concern regarding building homes too close to the sewage treatment plant and the lack of FHA and VA loans for homes built near sewage treatment plants. Mrs. Martinsen stated the City Council should not bow to developer pressures, and again urged a "No" vote on this issue. Mrs. Helen L. Robinson, 1312 Vintner Way, state that, after much study and review, she felt it would be an unwise decision to approve this final map, since light industry would be more compatible with the R-1 zoning already existing, and strongly urged the City Council to reconsider this zoning and place this parcel into an interim moratorium. Mr. Hirst explained that this property had been placed in the S District some time ago for review of the land use zoning, a Judgment had now been entered into, and the applicant was entitled to have the subdivision map approved since he had complied with all of the conditions set forth. Mayor Reid stated that a Judgment had been rendered between the City of Pleasanton and the applicant which has to be honored. Councilman Mori took exception to Mrs. Martinsen's remarks regarding Council- men bowing to the developers pressures, and stated that in every conversation he had with residents of Val Vista not one spoke in favor of industrial zoning. He further stated that after careful examination, industrial zoning would be the least feasible. He also commented that he felt Mr. Edgar presented a very pro- Jective review of this matters to the citizens of the Val Vista area. Councilman Pearson stated that since some of the citizens in the area were not satisfied with the zoning that was proposed, then it seemed incumbent upon the staff and City Council to come up with a more satisfactory zoning. Councilman Herlihy commented that he had artended the Val Vista Homeowners Association meeting and the presentation covered all of the items 'pertinent to this parcel, and he did not think the Council was remiss in looking at residen- tial zoning. It was moved by Councilman Kinney, and seconded by Councilman Mori, that Resolution No. 73-33, approving Final Map and Improvement Plans, Tract 3312, Val Vista, Unit 7, be approved. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmen Herlihy, Kinney, Mori, and Mayor Reid NOES: Councilman Pearson ABSENT: None 2. 3/12/73
