Presentation and Discussion Reqardin,q the Bemal Property (SR 05:131) Jerry Iserson introduced consultants, Wayne Rasmussen and Michael Fotheringham. Wayne Rasmussen presented the staff report, including the five site plan alternatives and two alternatives for the community park. Mr. Kummer believed that a major part of future planning involved the ACE train station. He asked if the station were not placed on the Bernal property, would there be ramifications due to prior agreements? Mayor Hosterman indicated there are on-going discussions with the County of Alameda. There must be an environmental impact report (EIR) process for the Bemal property and it will analyze the property with and without the station. Many questions will be answered in that process, so we don't have to deal with them right now. Mr. Fialho explained there was an agreement executed as part of the preannexation of the Bernal property that required the City of Pleasanton to consider the placement of an ACE station on the Bernal property. That has been done throughout the planning process and will be included in the EIR process. The City is not technically obligated to locate a station on the Bemal property, but is obligated to consider it as part of the land use makeup.
