condition at this time. She felt to approve this amendment after all they have been through would be an insult to all who have been involved in this process. Bob Cordtz, 262 West Angela, indicated he was not speaking for or against this project. He referred to problems with New Cities on another development in Pleasanton and wanted to know what that litigation was about. Mr. Roush said the litigation had to do with an access easement and whether it should be put in as part of the development. The City felt the developer should be responsible. The matter was settled out of court with the cost of the easement split 50/50. Margo Layton, 42425 Mission Boulevard, Fremont, said she was planning to purchase a lot adjacent to the New Cities development and move to Pleasanton. She felt this project would be an asset to the City and the project fits into the overall plan. She did not see why annexation should be tied to it. Her lot is on Sycamore and in order for her to get water and sewer; New Cities needs to proceed with the project. She felt Mr. Bates has worked hard to accommodate the concerns of the neighbors. Deon Bringhurst, 990 Sycamore (41646 Covington Drive, Fremont), father of Ms. Layton, understood the infrastructure had to be in place before he could build on his lot. He did not understand why this is taking so long and or the nexus of developing this project with the annexation. New Cities has always committed to funding the infrastructure. He has been amazed at the impacts some of the neighbors have had on getting lot line adjustments, etc. He felt it was time to move forward with this. Ms. Dennis asked if his property was in the city. He said yes. Frankie Lau, 1105 Lund Ranch Road, objected to any modification to the original approval. It takes a while for neighbors and developers to come to agreement and he did not want changes now. If changes are allowed now, it was a waste of all our time before. Citizens deserve a better quality of life. He expressed concerns about traffic problems and the crowded schools. Jean Kass, 966 Sycamore Road, had a lot of concem about halting this project. Her main concern is about the sewers. She was available to talk to Councilmembers and show them around her property. She saw no reason for further delay. Ms. Michelotti referred to her letter and the impacts on her property. Ms. Kass has not been able to determine her street address. There is a gap in Sunset Creek Road; there are questions about access from the project to North Sycamore Road. She has been in Pleasanton since 1967 and has watched the meetings. She felt New Cities has done everything it can. She and her family have lived with the impacts from Greenbriar for 23 months and she related all the problems with constmcti0n.
