freeway to Stanley Boulevard with Busch Road a four lane connection to provide a cross connection. It does not provide for the extension of Mohr Avenue. Other than that, it is silent with regard to land use, local circulation, or timing of the proposed connections. The major issue after the Ponderosa referendum was that the local circulation pattern might be okay ultimately, but until there is the E1 Charro Road access, it is not good in the short term. It is certainly possible for the city to address development plans within the study area without doing the study. It is also possible to look at a development using the General Plan and a specific plan. Any combination of pre-study or no study at all is possible. There are many opportunities to allow public input and take testimony to allow plans to proceed. If there is not a lot of pre-study, it is likely the city will be offered a plan that will be rejected by the Council or the citizens. The general plan has very broad ranges and specific plans tend to narrow that range. Mr. Campbell referred to Mr. Pico's statement and asked if it were possible to do a traffic study without knowing what the land uses are. Mr. Swift said no. Traditionally, there is an assumption that the level of development intensity will be at the mid-range of the land uses identified in the general plan. It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Ms. Dennis, to defer timing of the East Pleasanton Study until the priorities workshop in March and to bring the issue back for a public hearing if a decision is made to change the scope of work. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Campbell, Dennis, Michelotti, and Mayor Pico NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None 7. MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCIL Ms. Dennis referred to a letter from Senator Tom Torlakson about a transportation committee and wondered if a Councilmember should be assigned to this. There was discussion about whether the invitation was to individuals or the Council as a whole. Ms. Ayala and Ms. Michelotti expressed interest in participating. Mayor Pico suggested inviting Senator Torlakson to address Council. Ms. Ayala asked the Dublin Liaison committee members to get information on Dublin's standards for height of buildings, the BART station, floor area ratios, etc. Ms. Michelotti said she would address that and bring a report back to Council. On another matter, she referred to traffic mitigations constructed at Columbine and Oak Pleasanton City Council 18 Minutes 01/23/01
