As I mentioned previously (see below): "Again, we continue to wait for the developer to prepare the repeatedly requested models, the environmental review, refinements, and visual aids. The Commission requested that the developer prepare the models and visual aids. We previously requested the models and visual aids. We still await the models and visual aids. Everyone needs to be able to see exactly how and where they intend to cover the hills with houses. Otherwise, we cannot see just how awful this will be (from our perspective), or if it can be moderately acceptable. We still do not know and we cannot tell. And it certainly would be nice if the developer actually engaged with the Pleasanton residents on these topics." There has been no contact from the developer and no contact from anyone at the City, including any of the Commissioners. I understand it is up to me to attempt to contact the Commissioners if they appear to be uninterested in contacting me or any other resident in our development. We continue to be very concerned about this particular issue, mentioned in the Agenda Report: "Substantial grading would be required to accommodate the proposed development and the EVA road. As proposed, grading would occur on portions of the site with slopes ranging from 10 to 25 percent or more. Portions of some or all of the lots and private open space would coincide with areas where the existing slopes exceed 25 percent." I believe this simply is not consistent with the oft-repeated and expressed will of the residents of Pleasanton. The proposed grading and building on slopes meant to be protected is not the only objection, but it is a major one. I do not know what else needs to be said at this time to preserve our profound objections, and with the somewhat limited notice provided for this upcoming meeting, I will not be able to attend. I am sure you will continue to do your best to keep the folks who actually reside in Pleasanton advised of the process, and for that I am most grateful. And of course, we will continue to "rely upon the requests made by the Commission for (a) 3D models that will help all of us visualize what the project actually will look like on the hillsides, because we still cannot tell the extent of the proposed damage; (b) careful re-measurements to see how often the prohibition against building on slopes greater than 25 degrees is to be enforced; (c) plans for the 1
