Ms. Michelotti said that she anticipated that when this plays out, this will be one <br />of the icons of this concept, where you have residential, hotel/conference type facilities <br />and office all in one center~ She thanked Mr. Snyder. <br /> <br /> Mr. Snyder stated that Pleasanton has a major tenant coming to the City and one <br />of its concerns was that this was going to be a successful project. Although he was never <br />able to directly communicate with the individuals, they were reassured through others, as <br />well as through his phone messages, that, yes, we were moving ahead with this. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico stated that he truly felt that this would be the icon of projects if we can <br />find a way to include a little residential affordability. The Council has unanimously <br />stated that we wo~d be willing to participate in making some small element of <br />affordability in this project. <br /> <br /> Mr. Snyder stated that this is between the City of Plcasanton and the City of <br />Dublin and that this can be worked out. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelorli said that we are continuing to explore affordability and Dublin <br />may decide that they want to include something like it and we are going to help them to <br />do it. <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta said that this would not be in front of the Council had it not been for <br />Mr. Snyder suggesting that people get together and talk. <br /> <br /> Ms. Detmis asked that, assuming the project moves for~vard, when would we <br />begin to see designs? <br /> <br /> Mr. Snyder said that he thought that Mr. Russell had hopes of being in <br />construction by next Spring and he would think that some elements of design arc <br />occurring fight now. It is a public company involved, they have to show a return on their <br />investment and they want to move forward as rapidly as possible. <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta said that they have begun their work with plam~ing, but that the EIR <br />work had to be done first. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis said that she was so pleased that Mr. Snyder was able to bring <br />everyone together for this concept and it is also the vision of the people who paid for that <br />basic infrastructure for the West Dublin DART station Ihat this ~vould not be happening <br />without voter and public support for a station in that location. She said that no one knew <br />how that was going to happen, but just by keeping after it, it did. <br /> <br /> Mr. Snyder said that ~vhat a lot of people do not recognize is that a lot of the 1- <br />580/1-680 construction going on right now is designed to coordinate ~vith that station. <br />The hook ramps in Dublin were placed where they are today just tbr that purpose. It <br />makes a lot of sense to have all of this come together at the same time. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 18 06/20/00 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
