constructed must have access to the loop and are to be built on two acres. Besides that he doesn't really care about condos on the Sportono Property or around the golf course; just so they don't have access to the Happy Valley loop. Mayor Pico said that there would be more heatings on the costs of the golf course and the City plans. The only item on the present agenda is the resetting of the date for the election for annexation, which is proposed to be set for October 11, 2001. He stated that we are not really discussing the Happy Valley Area at this point in time. Council welcomes all comments. Jerry Wagner, 6344 Alisal Street, Pleasanton, stated that he currently resides in the Happy Valley section of Pleasanton. In the April 14, 2001 issue of the "Valley Times", headlines read that the City of Fremont would probably be building two golf courses in Sunol. At the present time 14 golf courses exist in the Th-Valley area. Why does Pleasanton need to have one more golf course in the area where a majority of the residents prefer to be left alone without the addition of yet another golf course and the traffic created by it? Do the people who live along Sycamore Road want 1100 cars a day going by their homes and around those trees in the middle of the mad to get to the bypass road? When he went to the first meeting after our moving to Happy Valley, he was told the bypass road was going in. There would be no additional cars on Happy Valley Road or Alisal Street and a minimum acreage for a home was to be 1 IA acres plus. When he went to the second meeting on April 12, Mr. Lum was telling the people no bypass road would be in, no estimate of when it would go in, and the traffic ofl 100 cars a day would be running down Alisal Street and Happy Valley Road. If and when the bypass road ever got in, the traffic would go down Sycamore to the bypass road. When asked about the trees in the middle of Sycamore, Mr. Lum said that was to slow traffic down getting to the golf course. Mr. Rasmussen said there would be only one home allowed on two acres and how nice it would be for Happy Valley residents to be closer to their City government, police protection, City offices, etc. Mr. Wagner said it was 1 lA acre per house by Mr. Lum and now it is 2 acres by Mr. Rasmussen, and we are closer to City offices than we are to county offices, as if it makes a difference. Even Mr. Lum and Mr. Rasmussen cannot agree on the sales pitch. Most of the Happy Valley residents know that the "so called" agreement Mr. Lum is working on is not worth the paper it is written on. If the annexation goes through, the pro-development Council will change that agreement, at will, to the same thing allowed on the property already annexed to Pleasanton next to Sycamore Road - one house on 15000 square feet, or three house per acre and no animals. Mr. Wagner said that Mr. Lure made a point at least a dozen times saying the bypass road to the golf course would not be in by the time the golf course was finished and probably would not be in for years to come and that the entrance to the golf course would be at the intersection of Alisal and Happy Valley Road. So 1100 cars a day would be traveling through the Happy Valley area. Happy Valley Road and Alisal Street cannot handle that much traffic and be livable for the people of the Happy Valley area. Mayor Pico asked Mr. Wagner to sum up his comments and there would be ample time in the future to talk about these issues. He restated that all that is being done tonight is setting the date for the election. Pleasanton City Council 3 04/17/01 Minutes
