system and is interested in extending a trail from Jack London to E1 Charro. There would be a good trail to get commuters to Hacienda and BART and the kids out to Las Positas. David Gonsalves, 2215 Martin Avenue, said he had attended all the previous meetings regarding this East Pleasanton Study. His neighborhood is outside the study area and he wanted it to stay that way. He expressed his concerns about the airport and the increase in the noise levels. He hoped something could be done to curtail its operations. Mattrice del Prado, 2855 Cupflower Court, pointed out there is an ad hoc committee to study the airport. He thanked the citizens for their participation and for Council's support. He looked forward to participating in the East Pleasanton Study. He had a lot of comments about Stoneridge going through to E1 Chmro. He asked for clarification about when citizens could comment on Stoneridge. Would that be another hearing to come before Council? Mayor Pico said no. There was an approved specific plan for the area and unless Council expands the East Pleasanton study to include that area, that plan will be built as approved. Mr. del Prado asked what the time table for that would be? Mayor Pico said it was unknown. Shirley Lauer, 2221 Martin Avenue, indicated she has been a resident since Kaiser first applied for a permit for the quarry. During all those heatings which began in 1963, there was an agreement that parts of this study area would not be changed. She believed the buffer strip was to be permanent. When the quarry activity is concluded, the pits would be used as a reservoir for Zone 7. That area appears within the boundaries of the East Pleasanton Study area and she did not think that original agreement should be changed. She believed the chain of lakes were to be a Zone 7 reservoir and not a recreation area like Shadow Cliffs. Mr. Swift said the reclamation plan for the quarry area requires Kaiser to turn ownership of the buffer strip and the lake to Zone 7. That lake would be linked with other quarries so there would be a chain of lakes. Zone 7 would take title to the property in order to manage the lakes as a water resource and to store surface water runoff and for an area to recharge the groundwater basin. The final decisions as to exactly how that chain of lakes will operate and whether there is public access, etc. have not been contemplated at this time. He believed Zone 7, as a potential future land owner, would be included in the study process to determine what the options were for the chain of lakes plan. Ms. Lauer was happy to know that Zone 7 will still control this area, but she was concerned about loss of the buffer strip. She was concerned about the maintenance of the Pleasanton City Council 14 01/23/01 Minutes
