This would be the second development proposal for this property. The first pro- posal - PUD-91-13 - for a PUD development plan including 86 single-family detached homes and an 18-hole golf course was approved by the Pleasanton City Council on Octo- ber 20, 1992 but was then overturned in a referendum election held on November 2, 1993. Concerns included density, loss of existing trees, loss of open space, traffic and circulation, impacts to quality of life, etc. Proposal The applicant, James Tong of Charter Properties, on behalf of the property ownem Jenni- fer Lin, Frederic Lin, and Kevin Lin, has submitted PUD-33, an application for PUD de- velopment plan approval to develop up to 98 single-family detached homes and ancillary improvements on a 562-acre property located near the present terminus o'f Hearst Drive. (The subject property is located on the easterly side of the Kottinger Ranch development and on the southerly sides of the Vintage Hills and the Grey Eagle Estates developments.) Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - RDR/OS (Rural Density Residential/Open Space) district. The proposed project would include the following fea- tures: · All proposed units would be single-family detached homes located on individual lots, varying in size from 17,000 to 48,000 square feet. · The proposed streets, lots, emergency vehicle access connections, and a new water tank site would occupy approximately 67-acres or 12-percent of the site's area, with the remaining 495-acres set aside as permanent open space. · The proposed lots would be arranged along the proposed extension of Hearst Drive, which, as proposed, would be extended approximately one-mile onto the subject prop- erty, on six cul-de-sac courts, and on seven shared access driveways/private streets. Two cul-de-sac courts would then have emergency vehicle access connections to Benedict Court - a public street - located in the Kottinger Hills development and to Grey Eagle Court - a private street - located in the Gray Eagle development. · Building and site designs, landscaping and grading designs would be controlled by design guidelines created for this purpose.
