to give them what they want, he is all for it. But he did not want to relinquish the general public's right to set aside what is approved by Council. Mr. Armstrong believed that whatever PUD is approved is subject to referendum no matter what is in the annexation agreement. Ms. Michelotti supported the annexation agreement in order to assure the Happy Valley residents that the City has done everything it can to get a bypass road. Mayor Tarver believed there needs to be some level of speci~city in the agreement on what is acceptable. Mr. Armstrong said that level of speci~city cannot be achieved in a week or two. He proposed to commit to a preannexation process immediately after the annexation agreement is completed that would consist of whatever preannexation process the City desires, including workshops for the Planning Commission, the Council and identify, before an application is set, what that specificity is going to be. The whole point is to identify what the application should include and then get a developer willing to work under those parameters. If no consensus can be reached on what should be in the application within a timely manner, then the vested rights lapse. Mayor Tarver felt the difficulty with that approach is that you need a developer involved who can say whether what is desired in the application is feasible. Mr. Spotorno can agree to all kinds of things and there could be a great pre-plan, but if you can't find a developer to build it, you are back to square one. Mr. Armstrong said any plan would be feasible. He felt there is an opportunity to make this work and if it doesn't, then the vested rights lapse. Ms. Dennis would like to see if something could be written that addresses the concerns. She just wants a chance to do that. Ms. Acosta indicated the Mayor has said he wants something with a guarantee that there will be no issues later on. She did not think that was possible. She was also concerned that Council will not like the bypass road. Staff is going farther down this path of doing everything possible. Council is promising things to folks and may not be able to deliver. Ms. Michelotti said the Specific Plan requires pursuing the bypass mad and she is trying to honor the commitments of the Specific Plan to the residents of Happy Valley. Ms. Acosta pointed out the annexation vote is still pending. We would all like to give the Spotornos what they are looking for, but there are some significant downsides to this. She did not want surprises later on and discover that it is not possible to approve what the Spotornos want and in the meantime there was an annexation. Pleasanton City Council 25 10/26/99 Minutes
