had some comments about the concerns it had with some of the homes in the Vineyard <br />Corridor. These coraments were based on dust and noise. In its response to the <br />Environmental Impact Report, RMC inever mentioned anything about a possibility of an <br />asphalt batch plant. He believed the previous Council would have done something <br />differently with the Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan if an asphalt plant were proposed to <br />be located on its current site. He poibted out that the asphalt batch plant operates at night <br />and if residents have their windows 9pen or fans on, it pulls the unpleasant odor into the <br />house where it settles. He believed that staff and the County have worked hard to try and <br />resolve this issue. He asked for the City to continue with this process by sending a letter <br />to the County Planning Commission asking them to either move this plant to another <br />location, or remove it from its current site. <br /> <br /> Alberto Yepez, a Pleasanton resident, was concerned about the air quality and <br />encouraged Council to send the proposed letter to the County Planning Commission. <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico closed the publiclhearing. <br /> <br /> Mr. Campbell asked staff for Clarification as to the process, as Granite <br />Construction Company stated it was ~u'own off guard by the process. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush said that when this item was scheduled to be heard by the Planning <br />Commission, a notice was sent out tO only property owners within 1,000 feet of where <br />the asphalt batch plant is located. Granite Construction Company may have not received <br />notice of it because it is not a proper~y owner. A day or two before the Planning <br />Commission meeting, he received a phone call from General Counsel of Granite <br />Construction Company. He faxed toihim the Planning Commission staff report. Granite <br />Construction Company representatives were able to appear before the Planning <br />Commission and make a presentatiog. For this Council meeting, the noticing was <br />increased beyond 1,000 feet and 2,500 notices were mailed. Granite Construction <br />Company was aware that this item Was going to be heard this evening because he called <br />its General Counsel and apprised him of it. The Council staff report was also made <br />available to Granite Construction Colnpany for this meeting. In terms of Council's <br />action, he believed it was fair to state that Granite Construction Company has been aware <br />of what is on the table. <br /> <br /> Mr. Campbell said he is wresting w~th the process and wants to make sure that <br />Granite Construction Company has adequate due process. Since Council is a body that <br />does not have jurisdiction over Granite Construction Company, it can only make <br />recommendations in a letter to the COunty Planning Commission. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush said that the City 9f Pleasanton would be participating in the process <br />like anyone else. It would be the same as if the County Board of Supervisors was having <br />an issue with the landfill that is not ia the City's jurisdiction, but the City has an interest <br />in what the County Board of Supervisors would do. The City would submit letters or <br />provide testimony in terms of the City's positiom The issue of the asphalt batch plant is a <br />matter that the County has jurisdiction over and the Council may either take a position as <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 10 08/03/04 <br />Minutes ' <br /> <br /> <br />
