Mr. Balch said yes he would be allowed five acre parcels. The sewer has always been the <br />main issue. He would like to build homes for his children. He referred to the prior green <br />building discussions and noted he probably has the only home in Pleasanton with a geothermal <br />heating and air conditioning system. He would like to work with staffon this, but the current <br />wording of the policy appears to require him to annex to the City before discussing what could <br />be done on the property. <br /> <br />Ms. Michelotfi asked what would happen if he went back to the County for review. <br /> <br /> Mr. Balch was not certain. He could try to convince the Board that his septic system was <br />superior to the City sewer system. <br /> <br />Mayor Pico said he still had the ability to build one additional house on the property. <br /> <br />Ms. Ayala asked where the two proposed houses would be located on the property? <br /> <br /> Mr. Balch said at a lower elevation than his home. There is a line that goes across his <br />property, around the golf course property, and over to the New Cities property. In order for him <br />to get two lots, there has to be four acres below that line. On certain City documents the line is <br />drawn so he has three and three-quarter acres and on other City documents the line is drawn so <br />he has four acres. <br /> <br />Ms. Michelotti asked where his home is located. <br /> <br />Mr. Balch said it is outside the Urban Growth Boundary Line by about 75-100 feet. <br /> <br /> Vanessa Kawaihau, 871 Sycamore Road, noted that the Happy Valley community was <br />not noticed on this item. Since the arrangements for the core infrastructure to be provided by the <br />developers in the event of annexation has disappeared, she asked if it could be assumed that the <br />extra houses given to those developers also disappear? She was glad it was made clear that the <br />connection fees are included in the $34,000 to $50,000 costs. She was concerned that the water <br />costs of the Sycamore Road infrastructure was not finalized. She asked why not. The <br />infrastructure has been in the middle of the road for a few years now and some one should know <br />what the constmefious costs were. She was also enneerned about the quoted estimate for the <br />lateral only on Sycamore Road. There was a letter sent to property owners quoting a much lower <br />cost and it wasn't an estimate. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked who was noticed on this item. She also inquired about the letter <br />referred to by Ms. Kawaihau. <br /> <br /> Mr. Grubstick was uncertain about the noticing. He said the letter referred to the <br />infrastructure constructed by Greenbriar in Sycamore Road. That included laterals to each of the <br />properties on Sycamore Road and Greenbriar had indicated to each of those property owners <br />what the cost would be for extending those laterals to the property line. That was a set amount of <br />money established by CJreonbriar. As far as other infrastructure costs along Sycamore, staffhas <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 29 11 / 19/02 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
