Mr. Costanzo asked if San Francisco does not want the easement and it decides not to sell the three acres for $500,000, is that linked to the approval? Mr. Roush said that was his understanding and explained that Greenbriar has agreed to request San Francisco to allow Greenbriar to pay the school impact fees to the District first. Paragraph 2 in the addendtan to the staff report says that if San Francisco agrees to that, and agrees to sell the throe acre parcel to the City for $500,000, then the City would agree that the public pamel could be encumbered by the easement. Mayor Tarver did not care about the easement. He felt there was an agreement for San Francisco to sell the parcel to Pleasanton for $500,000. Ms. Michelotti indicated she has followed this for a very long time and she did not agree with some of the Councilmembers that this proposal was as close to Measure I as possible. She appreciated the phone calls she had received about the need to make a decision rapidly and she had concerns about having morn time for the public to review staff reports. However, she agreed with Mary Robarts, that this could not have been achieved in this amount of time without a lot of work by Greenbriar staff and City staff' members. She felt the community has sent a message to the Council that it did not want 1,900 to 2,500 homes on this property. If there had been an opportunity, she would have star~ed with 500 homes and found a point where the amealties could have been included. She agreed with Ms. Dennis' opinion that a Specific Plan with all uses included should have been prepared, because that is good planning. However, she believed the community wants this project, realizing only the development is being approved. The City still has to pay Ibr all the public use improvements. This is not a political decision for her, it is a reflection of the community's desires. She did not want this to go to an election. She clarified that the Sports Park is now in phase I. She commended everyone who has worked so diligently on this project. Mayor Tarvet asked if Ivlr. Pico would remove the inclusion of the golf course in Phase I planning recommendations (Item 5) and the issue of timing of the transfer of public lands (Item b). Mr. Pico accepted a friendly amendment to do that. Mr. Swift asked for clarification. Item 4 did not have a firm recommendation; it was for Council to decide whether to include a community park in phase I. Mayor Tarver said that is why he wanted #5. discussion of transfer of public lands, taken out. Mr. Pico believed maximum flexibility was available to decide iftbe community park would be included in phase I or phase II. Pleasanton City Council 20 08/21/00 Minutes
