like to see the water park closed. He believed a compromise could be made that would allow the applicant to keep its doors open and renovate what is already there, but not impact the community. Mr. Campbell asked staff if the action Council could take included either accepting the plan in its entirety or accepting a plan that was scaled back? Mr. Swit~ said Council could alter the plan. Council could reduce the scope of this project by removing water slides or other amenities, and reduce the parking area or anywhere in between. It is then up to the applicant whether he chooses to move forward with the plan that Council approves. Ms. Ayala indicated that Mr. Brozosky had meetings with the applicant before the public hearing was closed. She believed he had the most expertise as far as what may be possible for a first phase. She would like the applicant to be given the opportunity to tell Council what a scaled back first phase might look like and how small it could be. It will be up to the applicant to decide ifa scaled back business plan would work. Mr. Brozosky did not know if his proposal would work for the applicant, but he believed it would work for the community. He proposed allowing the applicant to renovate the existing four water slides with the ability to add up to four water slides on the same hill. Secondly, he proposed that the applicant be allowed to build all of the ground level facilities of the lazy river, the wade pool, the activity and kiddy pools, and one of the corporate areas. He believed that the facilities on the flat lands would have very little impact on the community. The attraction for the expanded water park for non- residents will be the additional water slides. He believed that if the applicant were allowed to construct a few more water slides to make it economically viable with the addition of ground level amenities, it would be something that the community could actually enjoy with little or no impact. From his perspective, Mr. Campbell liked the idea of having water slides on the existing hill, but if this plan was put to a vote of the people, he did not believe it would pass. He did not like the plan that was presented, but he did like the idea of having water slides and some renovated water slides on the existing hill. He was not sure that he was keen on developing the entire ground level. He would like to hear from the applicant in terms of what he is willing to accept or willing to negotiate. Ms. Ayala was particularly concerned about the landscaping around Stanley Boulevard and the project area. Mayor Pico questioned the motion to deny the appeal and to initiate a rezoning. He believed there was no need to rezone this property to begin with. If the property was going to be used just as a parking lot, he wondered why the parking lot couldn't be built with the former zoning. Pleasanton City Council 4 03/30/04 Minutes
