Mr. Pico suggested a transfer of thirty acres lbr the park at the time of annexation. That way the City could begin planning and construction of the sports field and the remaining open space could be transferred when Greenbriar gets its building permits. Mr, Costanzo indicated Greenbriar would consider that. He proceeded with his presentation and showed visualizatious of the proposed herins from various angles as well as the alley access to some of the residential units. There was discussion about wlmt other information would be available for the August 21 meeting. Mr. Swit~ explained the peer review from the original San Francisco proposal would be used and a story board would be put up along the freeway to give a better illustration of the herms. Dolores Bengtson, 568 Hamilton Way, believed there were still too many unknown issues about the project to take action in one week. She had read the prior staff report and conditions of approval and had grave concerns. She felt this was a two phased project and many things in phase one will 'all'oct what can be done in phase two. She had concerns about landscape herins, walls, storm drains and retention basins and felt these t~atures will take away from the 330 acres to be used for public uses. She also had concems about maintenance of the sound berms and retention basins. She did not think the City should have ownership of the arroyo. That could be a very expensive item. She also wanted clarification on the proposal to use forty acres for the school district. There is still uncertainty about thc gulf course. Shc felt the pcoplc of Plcasanton have great expectations for this property and she was concerned about piecemeal planning. Mayor Tarver said the City is being given 330 acres to plan for public use and it should take advantage of the opportunity. He cannot guarantee what would happen if it did not. In a perfect world, it would be wiser to plan the entire 500+ acres, but that is not the current situation. Bob Nickeson, 4260 Pleasanton Avenue, referred to the proposal to move the 5000 sq. ft. lots near the freeway and suggested moving the 4000 sq. fi. lots there instead. He preferred to have housing units on the East Parcel and asked if the City had considered sharing the burden of some of the interest/inli'astructure costs. Council discussed the possibility. Mr. Swift said wherever the units are moved ti'om the East Parcel, it will be less desirable than if they had remained there. Mayor Tarver asked for information on how much of the public property would be used for berms, etc. He also wanted comments regarding the School District negotiations. Mr. Costanzo indicated the berms, retention basins. etc. would benefit the public uses as well as the residential areas. He stated Greenbriar was close to an agreement with the School Districtl bm he would not have a draft of the agreement until later in the week. Pleasanton City Council 8 08/15/00 Mlnmes
