~ He felt that LOS E is already here and that traffic is impacted. He ged that the Commission turn down the applicant's request for modifications and that a Citizens Review Committee look at all the possible impacts. 2. Robert Pearson, 3590 Churchill Court, stated that he has been a past Council member and a past Mayor of the City. He said he is afraid of the word "tle 'bility" and what it might connotate. He questioned how the City could afford to build $10 million interchange for W. Las Positas if they cannot afford to sweep the streets. He fi t it was very important that an assessment district or some other means to provide funds fo an interchange be worked out now so that the City does not lose control over Hacien Business Park. Mr. Pearson expressed concern about sewer capacity and recalled an inc dent when he was on the Council when he was served with a lawsuit. He was also concern about the possibility of drinking water from a reverse osmosis fecYCling system. He felt th technology involved in that system was limited and the long-term effects of drinking such ater was undetermined. Mr. Pearson felt that it Prudential was not worried about sewer ca city, they would not be asking for reservations at this time, and felt the City should not giv any reservation on sewer capacity. In regard to traffic, Mr. Pearson felt that if an . needs to be changed Prudential should have to pay for it, but that it should not be borne y the citizens of Pleasanton. He urged the Commission not give the applicant the tl 'bility they are requesting. He reiterated that a Citizens Review Committee or a G neral Plan review be done before any further action is taken. 3. David Jones, 1605 Rose Avenue, addressed levels of traffic at enker Drive and Johnson Avenue. He noted that he has property adjacent to those streets an that he has observed that people use those streets as a shortcut to Stoneridge Drive. He xpressed concern that the City would eventually use that route to mitigate traffic and he w opposed to that. In response to that concern, Mr. Swift discussed the matter with Mr. J nes and said he did not think the City would ever intend to install such mitigation measures; however, he would further research the matter and get back with Mr. Jones. 4. Robert Johnson, President of Diamond Properties, 840 Hinckley Road, Suite 220, Burlingame, specificallyaddfessed concerns regarding the Lucky S re in Val Vista Center. He stated that he is very concerned how decisions tonight would afii t the economy of the Lucky Store, and noted that he had been at a previous meeting to e ress his concerns. He stated that he is particularly concerned about Lot 14A and the possi ility of another supermarket being put at that location. He felt that he has already I st some benefit of a driveway to Hacienda Business Park because of traffic mitigations d did not want further mitigations to affect his site. He felt that Prudential should solve th ir own problems as other businesses have to do, and that the City should not have to so e them for Prudential. He noted that the Lucky Store thought expansion of their market w ld make them a more successful market; however, when they asked the Planning Departm nt about it they were told they could not expand because of lack of space in the Center. e explained that his plan included using some of the spaces now occupied or vacant in the C ter for Lucky's use.
