REPORTS OF THE CITY ATTORNEY There were no reports of the City Attorney at this meeting. COMMUNICATIONS There were no communications presented at this meeting. CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS There were no City Council committee reports presented at this meeting. MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS There were no matters initiated by Council members at this meeting. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Mr. Joseph Madden, 3851 Vineyard Avenue, property owner directly adjacent to the proposed Pleasanton Greens housing development, appealed to the City Council to review the application in depth because of the impending environmental impact statement requirements and numerous press releases that should be investigated and clearly understood. Mr. Madden stated he had mixed feelings about the pro- ject now and in the last ten days had become vitally concerned about the project although he did not oppose it originally. He told the Council they should con- sider the Supreme Court ruling requiring an Environmental Impact Statement on public and private projects, articles concerning the construction and management of the proposed project, legal ramifications if approval is forthcoming, and the approximate 40 conditions which the Director of Community Development has im- posed. He further stated that the switch in sewer allotments to allow 131 sewer connections for the proposed units was questionable. Mr. Madden stated his in- tention to make a formal appeal to the City Council in order to initiate a new study of the controversial proposal.
