Ms. Acosta explained that when a public agency sells a piece of property, there is a statutory process that must be followed. San Francisco has submitted a letter from Mayor Brown committing to sell the property for $500,000, but the formal approval carmot be obtained prior this meeting. Mr. Roush further explained that according to the Development Agreement, if San Francisco wants to preserve an easement over what will be the public parcel, then that is linked concerning the payment of the school impact l~es and the sale of the Civic Center parcel for $500,000. Even if San Francisco does not want the easement or to agree to reverse the school impact fees, it has still agreed to sell the three-acre parcel to Pleasanton for $500,000. Ms. Michelotti asked when formal action would be taken regarding sale of the property and when would the decision on the school impact fee reversal be made? Mr. Roush indicated if this is appmved tonight, staff will raise that question with San Francisco immediately. It is hoped that will be coincidental with the close of escrow for the sale of the property to Greenbriar at the end of October. Mayor Tarver declared the public hearing open. Pat Murray, 4470 Mirador Drive, complimented Council, staff, and Greenbriar for the incredible job of getting this together in such a restricted time frame. In reviewing all the proposals that have come forward regarding this property, she believed this was the best the City can get. She felt the proposal would benefit Pleasanton in the long term. Iler one major concern was traffic impacB on Valley and Boreal Avenues from the project. She was especially concerned about the stacking lanes on Bemal Avenue for freeway access to 1-680 north. She referred to a receut accident in this area and the problems it caused. She was also concerned about the traffic from the Kaiser development on Sunol Boulevard. She was not opposed to either development, but was concerned about the traffic. Ms. Ayala inquired about an accident in the area a couple of days ago that involved a pedestrian. She had received telephone calls from citizens concerned about pedestrians in that area. She asked for a report on the number of accidents in the area recently. Mr. Swift indicated the long range plans provide for improvements to the interchange to accommodate the increases in traffic that are projected in the General Plan. Greenbriar has pledged $15 million towards those improvements. The improvements do require CalTrans approval. Recent improvements including a traffic signal at the northbound offramp and modifying the northbound onmmp should make it safer for pedestrians. The ultimate improvements would probably shift the number of movements at the interchange and shiP, pedestrians to the south side of the interchange so they are not in conflict with the right turns onto the freeway from Bernal. There would be two Pleasanton City Council 4 08/28/00 Minutes
