Councilmember McGovern maintained that sound attenuating materials may go a long way towards minimizing impact and asked staff to return with a detailed report once the noise study is completed. Councilmember McGovern referred to number 1.4 of the 65CNEL Contour; agreed that this is one of the nicest views of the Arroyo and asked if the measure to limit trails within that corridor precludes the presence of a connecting trail or outlook near the fish ladder. Ms. Giffin clarified that the wording may prohibit an outlook within the 65CNEL but adjacent to it would be fine. Councilmember McGovern referred to page 38, number 4.1; she asked if it would be possible to resurface existing portions of Stoneridge Drive with sound attenuating asphalt concurrent with its application on the extended portions. Mr. Fialho explained that while there are no plans to do so as a part of this project, City policy has been to resurface roads with this asphalt when road wear warrants. He provided the Council with the option to prioritize the resurfacing of the existing portions of Stoneridge Drive over other currently planned projects. Councilmember McGovern referred to PH1.1 on page 39: Population and Housing and remarked that staff explained that the senior care housing units might exceed the City's growth management levels of 350. She said that she preferred the language in the draft EIR which dictates that phase construction of the community's housing units shall be phased such that the construction does not exceed the annual limit set by the Growth Management Program Ordinance. Mr. Roush confirmed that option and added that the development agreement could specifically indicate the number of units and that conversely, the Council has the flexibility to approve more units than would otherwise be allowed in a given year. Councilmember McGovern referred to page 50; Water Supply, which discusses the verification of water supply prior to approval of the Tentative Map. She asked if it allows for the discussed potential to bring recycled water to this section of the community. Ms. Giffin explained that it would require a supplemental EIR as it was not included in the current study. Councilmember McGovern asked if it is still an objective, and Mr. Fialho said staff has plans to discuss the initiation of a Recycled Water Master Plan for the entire City with the Council. The plan would call for phasing the improvements over time and could begin with the Staples Ranch property or at the other end of town near the water treatment plant. Councilmember McGovern voiced concern that the City may lose the opportunity to branch off of the water piped to EI Charro. Mr. Fialho explained that Livermore is making immediate plans to bring in recycled water to EI Charro from the other side of I-580. Pleasanton would then have the option to extend that down to Auto Mall Place and eventually Stoneridge Drive at some point in the future. Councilmember McGovern asked and confirmed that the necessary pipeline could be laid during the construction phase of this project. She asked if it would necessitate an EIR and Mr. Fialho clarified that it is the utilization of the water that triggers CEQA. Mayor Hosterman questioned and confirmed with the City Manager that the timeframe on the Recycled Water Master Plan was at least twelve months out. Councilmember McGovern referred to TR360; Improve Santa Rita Road at I-580 Eastbound Off- Ramp/Pimlico Road on page 51. She read, "If the Fee Update is not completed the City will undertake these improvements," and asked if it could be reworded to protect the City against incurring these costs. Mr. Roush said that staff anticipates that the fee updates will be completed by the time these improvements are made and therefore the payment of the Traffic City Council Minutes Page 7 of 14 February 3, 2009
