the community more time to react to traffic studies and still allow the City to meet its obligation to Standard Pacific. Ms. Michelotti indicated the Stoneridge Specific Plan indicates Stoneridge would curve northward to Staples Ranch. If Stoneridge were connected to E1 Charro in a more direct fashion it would preclude housing on a portion of the Standard Pacific property. Mr. Swift said the Specific Plan does show the road crossing to the north. The General Plan says the location of major thoroughfares within a specific plan boundary can be a decision as part of the specific plan. Even though the General Plan shows the same depiction, the road can be relocated. When the City looked at the Standard Pacific project there still was an issue as to whether the Stoneridge extension would work better on the south side of the Arroyo Mocho, intersecting E1 Charro Road, or whether a configuration up through Staples Ranch was better. So when the tentative map was approved, the City had three years to decide the location of the road. It makes a difference as to how many houses Standard Pacific can build. If the road runs north, there would be 32 houses but only 18 if the road runs south. Standard Pacific has held off building its last phase until that decision is made. Mayor Pico asked if there would be a report on this on the agenda before the November Council meeting. Mr. Swift said yes. There would be further meetings with the neighborhood to go over the traffic study and to get their input on the location of the extension, if it goes through at all. Ms. Michelotti asked if staff were still considering the option that included a bridge perpendicular across the arroyo. Mr. Swift said that was an interim connection to parts of Staples Ranch with the future connection to E1 Charro being farther to the east. There are many options, each with their own complications. Mayor Pico wanted to make certain Council was notified of the next meeting regarding Stoneridge Drive. He then indicated that after advertising for the vacancies on commissions and committees, no one had applied for the Education Account Advisory Board required by the Altamont Settlement Agreement. He indicated he would like to appoint a person qualified for that position without readvertising for the position. He asked for Council consensus for this action. In addition, there was one applicant for the Housing Commission. That applicant is on the Human Services Commission and would have to resign that position. He believed that since advertising for the terms that expire in April will start in January or February, he proposed to appoint the alternate on the Human Services Commission to the regular membership and carry a vacant position until the Spring. There was consensus of the Council for the Mayor's action. Pleasanton City Council 26 09/18/01 Minutes
