To the Planning Commission of the City of <br /> Pleasanton, September 8, 2016 <br /> This letter is in response to the planned development of <br /> Ponderosa to build 35 to 37 houses on the Evangelical Free <br /> Church property. <br /> We, as residents of Lassen Street, Mount McKinley and Mount <br /> Rainer, are EXTREMELY concerned with the proposed plans of <br /> the development's court entrance across from Lassen Street. <br /> These 3 streets have 25 homes, which would intersect with the <br /> Ponderosa homes, making it an intersection of 60 to 62 homes. <br /> We ask you to revise these plans to construct the entrance <br /> opposite either Mesa Verde Court (only 10 houses), Grand <br /> Canyon Court (only 8 houses), or Petrified Forest Court (only 9 <br /> houses). These courts have considerably less houses, and would <br /> accommodate additional traffic easier. In fact, Grand Canyon <br /> Court is already across from the church driveway, so they have <br /> proven they can accommodate some extra traffic. No other <br /> intersection in Valley Trails has to endure traffic from 60 homes <br /> (our 3 streets and Ponderosa's proposed 3 streets). <br /> As a 25+ year resident I can contest that traffic has always been <br /> a huge problem. We have a 25 residence court, each owning 2- <br /> 3+ vehicles, that all use Lassen to go in and out. It would make <br /> absolutely no sense to add to our traffic daily by adding another <br /> 3 streets directly opposite Lassen. <br /> We also need to mention that we, as residents, feel that this is an <br /> absolute blind corner to cross on foot, let alone by car, this <br /> section has always been a safety concern as people drive way <br />
