Page 14-5 <br />Commissioner Narum noted that “Housing” in the second paragraph talks about people <br />working near a congested freeway section. Nowhere in the transportation section does it <br />mention the ACE Train, which has become a major part of the commute. Ms. Stern <br />noted that would be in the transportation section. She will make a note so to add <br />discussion there. <br /> <br />Commissioner Blank noted that a fair number of employees at his place of work take the <br />ACE Train from the Silicon Valley just to get to Pleasanton. He suggested that it would <br />be interesting to gather and examine those data. We think that the train takes people to <br />Silicon Valley, but there are a fair number of people who take the train into Pleasanton. <br /> <br />Commissioner Narum noted that there are people getting off in Pleasanton. <br /> <br />Ms. Stern stated there are statistics for the number of people who get off the train in <br />Pleasanton and that staff can look into that. <br /> <br />Page 14-6 <br />Commissioner Narum noted that the “Airport” section discussed “over 200,000 annual <br />aircraft operations” and inquired about the definition. Commissioner Olson replied that <br />referred to take-offs and landings. Chairperson Fox suggested including that definition in <br />the text. It was suggested that operations be called “arrivals” and “departures.” <br /> <br />Chairperson Fox suggested referencing Livermore’s Airport Master Plan. She did not <br />believe it had been approved yet. Commissioner Blank noted that he would not be <br />supportive of including a document that had not been approved by the City of Livermore. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olson inquired whether “no additional runways or extensions” was still <br />the case. Livermore was going to replace the runways. Ms. Stern replied that was not <br />currently on the table because Livermore abandoned preparation of its master plan. <br /> <br />Commissioner Blank believed a business park was being considered south of the airport <br />near the runway and that new hangars were being built where existing parking is located. <br />He added that of the noise complaints, approximately 50 percent come from the same two <br />houses located in Pleasanton. <br /> <br />Chairperson Fox requested an update on the noise monitoring systems, including if the <br />City is assisting with its funding. <br /> <br />Page 14-7 <br />There were none. <br /> <br />Page 14-8 <br />Commissioner Pearce noted that at the end of the first paragraph, “Chain of Lake” should <br />be changed to “Chain of Lakes.” <br /> <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES March 14, 2007 Page 7 of 21 <br /> <br /> <br />
