agreement and she feels this is a win/win agreement for the community. We should all <br />be proud of the cooperation of the development community, the School District and the <br />City. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis referred to a comment from Ms. McGovem about conflicts in the <br />past. She felt school districts and cities often have conflicts, but in Pleasanton those have <br />been small compared to other cities. So much has been accomplished through all the <br />good intentioned arguments and constructive criticism. Now there are three entities that <br />have come together and she felt years from now people will still ask how this was <br />accomplished. She offered congratulations to all for developing something that will <br />stand the test of time. <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico asked the District to voluntarily involve city staffin a review of the <br />designs to make certain there is compatibility with the area. <br /> <br /> Pat Keman, School Board member, also expressed his thanks to Council and city <br />staff, as well as to the development community. <br /> <br />Item 6b <br />Clarification as to the Ruby Hill Conditions of Approval (concerninll the <br />Restoration of the Ruby Hill Winery,) and proposed modification to a condition <br />precedent to recording the Final Map for Tract 7158. (SR01:011) <br /> <br />Brian Swirl presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> Mr. Campbell asked if Wente was aware of this condition when it bought the <br />property from Signature. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swirl said yes. It has always been contemplated there would be a separate <br />winery on this property. Wente is still searching for a winery for this site. The only <br />debate is whether to require a bond and to require that the building when reconstructed <br />have some component of winery use rather than simply a storage building for wines. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala referred to page 4 of the staff report and further clarified that the <br />approval for this was given by Alameda County prior to annexation to Pleasanton. <br />County staff envisioned a winery similar to Concannon, which is the third largest winery <br />in the valley. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis asked when the performance bond would be released. She also asked <br />if there could be phased releases. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said it would be released as soon as the building is constructed and <br />there is a tasting room component. Council can do whatever it wishes with regard to the <br />bond. It can drop the requirement or reduce the amount. This is not like state <br />requirements for bonding of public improvements for streets, etc. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 8 02/06/01 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
