given to Stoneridge Drive residents that gave no indication of any possible extension of <br />Stoneridge Drive. He noted that it would be impossible to sue a developer that has since <br />gone out of business. He wanted the City to ensure that the disclosures were properly <br />made. He did not particularly favor rental property on that site. He believed Lot 11 <br />could use some work, either situationally or visually. He noted that the photomontage <br />mixed up the 98-home project and the 51-home project and that it was very difficult to <br />see the pictures on the montage. He supported Mr. Regan’s comments about <br />conservation easements being under independent control and not under the control of a <br />political body or a pressure group. Overall, he believed this was a very good project. <br /> <br />David Camp. 1374 Benedict Court, noted that he wished to comment on the Oak Grove <br />project and wished there was a way that this entire property could be permanently <br />protected as open space rather than a mile of homes on a ridge. He would like the view <br />from the high areas looking down to be considered as well. He would like the open space <br />to be permanently and independently protected against additional homes or other uses <br />such as motocross. He liked the proposal for the staging area in the new development, <br />which was of a modest size. He did not want staging areas near existing homes or streets. <br />He wanted to keep the trails away from existing streets and homes, creating a de facto <br />staging area. He supported one EVA road as proposed through Grey Eagle Court. He <br />believed that construction traffic would be a huge impact and would like very strict <br />controls on them. He would like some assurance from the City that developments would <br />not be added to the end of existing roads. He was opposed to rental units. He noted that <br />Lot 51 was a large protrusion into contiguous open space and that it was the only valley <br />lot in the development. <br /> <br />Sandra Bierre, 980 Riesling Drive, noted that she wished to comment on the Oak Grove <br />project and supported the comments of Dolores Bengtson and Becky Dennis and <br />complimented their work on the ridge. She noted that she was a member of the <br />Livermore Amador Garden Club, as was Ms. Bengtson, and added that they had walked <br />the ridge to see the wildflowers. They were very excited to have the opportunity to walk <br />in this area. <br /> <br />A recess was called at 8:23 p.m. <br /> <br />Acting Chairperson Fox reconvened the meeting at 8:33 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />6.PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS <br /> <br />Chairperson Fox requested verbatim transcription of the Meeting Open to the Public <br />item.
