Ms. Ayala said this has been talked about for years, but because of other higher priority issues, the project was delayed. There will soon be a priority workshop when Council will talk about projects and how to use staff time most wisely. Staff has recommended in the report that if the scope of work is changed, that there be public notice before that action is taken. Mayor Pico said Ms. Potter could comment on the items she listed at some future time in conjunction with a specific plan or proposal that would impact the Stoneridge Specific Plan area, but at this point in time, the study area and scope of the study would not include the items she was concerned about. Ms. Ayala reiterated that if the East Pleasanton Study were to be a top priority, it would come back for public discussion before any decisions were made. Ms. Potter wanted the scope of the study to be enlarged to include Staples Ranch and Stoneridge. Ms. Michelotti asked Mr. Swift to describe the specific plans for Staples Ranch and Stoneridge Drive. Mr. Swift said the current specific plan would extend Stoneridge Drive across the Arroyo Mocho at an angle. The arroyo would be widened out to E1 Charro Road. Arroyo Las Positas would be connected to Arroyo Mocho and the other existing channel would be abandoned. A seventeen acre community park would be constructed on Staples Ranch property in conjunction with commercial and light industrial uses. The intensity of those uses would be the subject of future planned unit development. There would be some improvements at E1 Charro Road and the E1 Charro intemhange to make them public streets from 1-580 southerly to the Arroyo Mocho. There could be some additional houses in the Standard Pacific project. Ms. Michelotti inquired whether Stoneridge Drive could cross the Arroyo at a right angle rather than on a curve under the specific plan. Mr. Swift said a modification of the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan would be necessary, but would not be necessary to be part of the East Pleasanton Study. However, if the boundary of the study were modified, Council could include whatever it wishes. Ms. Potter reiterated her desire to provide input on the issues she mentioned, especially the chain of lakes, whether there would be public access, and whether the berm would be removed to allow a view of the lake. Valerie Hurst, 3593 Arbor Court, asked Council to extend the scope of the study to include a major trail from Stoneridge to E1 Charro. She felt that was an important element for traffic circulation consideration. The City of Livermore is updating its trail Pleasanton City Council 13 01/23/01 Minutes
