237 of Sycamore Road have been addressed. She pointed out that both sides of Sycamore Road are zoned Agricultural and that there are indications that the NSSP will recommend a PUD - Agricultural zoning for this part of Sycamore Road. She added that the prezoning will allow the development of two lots facing the Mavridis property, which has a conditional access to Sycamore Road once the Sunol Boulevard access is closed down, and that based on drawings presented by staff, an alternative access to Sycamore Road would run through her property. She indicated that she and her husband have not been notified of this alternative access and that they are opposed to any plan which would provide access to the ten lots on the Mavridis property, as well as to the Marshall, Gudaitis and Thompson lots, through their property. She said that approving this request would be premature and would add to the uncoordinated piece-meal approach to planning which has been taking place in the area. She asked Council to consider the neighbors' concerns and work towards the development of an over-all cohesive plan which would preserve the rural environment.

Mr. Don Temple, 6409 Alisal Street, stated that the prezoning request was premature and recommended that any decision on it be withheld until the NSSP is reviewed and more information on the area is available.

Mr. Gary VanWegen, 488 Sycamore Road, stated that he favors annexation in the area but not at any cost. He indicated that the residents of the area have spent almost three years working on the NSSP, which has yet to be approved, to allow the development of a major road without destroying the unique nature of the neighborhood. Now four other plans have come up which are uncoordinated with one another and with the NSSP. He said that more information is needed before any decision can be made, including the final configuration of the Independence Drive and Sycamore Road intersection, traffic and the installation of utilities in the area. Ms. Phyllis Couper, 6525 Alisal Street, inquired why staff recommended and Council approved a Medium Density zoning for the Mavridis and Marshall properties when there is no direct access from these areas. Mr. Swift replied that the Mavridis property presently has a direct access on Sunol Boulevard which is more than adequate for the proposed ten lots. Two of the Marshall property subdivision lots will use the Mavridis cul-de-sac until Sunol Boulevard is closed and a new road is constructed, which road would ultimately - 7 - 5-15-90
