Mr. Swift said the area is on Dublin Canyon Road and not near the park. Ms. Michelotti described the location of the park and asked for clarification from staff. Mr, Swift said south of the bridge over the creek is an existing City park that tins not been fully developed. It is near the water t',mk. This proposal would extend the park up the north slope of the creek to the first cluster of trees. Any issues regarding the existing park would be reviewed by the Park and Recreation Commission as it reviews final improvements for the park. Ms. Michelotti inquired about fencing around the park. Mr. Swill was tinsare of the status of the fence. The water tank has had a fence around it for years. Mr. Fong asked about the minimum setback for the houses. Mr. Swift said it depended on the lot and varies from 15 feet for sideyards, 23 feet ibr the front setback and 25 feet for the rear setback. Basically thirty feet or more between houses. Margaret Tracy, 1262 Madison Avenue, Livermore, representing Preserve Area Ridgelands Committee, believed an environmental impact report should be prepared for this project because it is not a routine flat land subdivision. She said the site includes the Calavcras Fault, landslides~ steep slopes, and potential removal ofnative trees. She was concerned about wildlife in the area and impacts on the creek area. She believed an EIR would better address the concerns for the area along with proposed mitigation measures. It would give the public a better opportunity to know what would affect this area. She believed this was a key area and is a gateway lbr Plcasanton. She commented on the problems from Moller Ranch and The Preserve and the lack of shielding of the houses from public view. She was also concerned the senior care i:acility was on the Calaveras Fault line. She asked for an EIR before further action occurs. She asked who was responsible for maintenance and reduction of fire hazards on the site. Peter Allen, 9232 Klemetson Drive, indicated he had been very concerned when he first heard about the Kolb development and alerted eight or nine families that border the proposed development. There was a meeting to address their issues which included pad elevation, setback, homeowners associations, similarity with The Preserve, etc. The Kolb family reduced pad elevations, agreed to concerns to have similar requirements for the homeowners association, and had gone out of their way to address their concerns. There is also a buffer of eight to ten l~et with new trees to be planted between the two developments. His only issue has nothing to do with the Kulb project, it is with the Ciiy Council regarding traffic flow through The Prcscrve and whether it is necessary to have three access roads to the Kolb development. He would like to reduce traffic through The Preserve. He supported the Kolb application. Pleasanton City Council 15 05/02/00 Minutes
