Mr. Pico was not in favor of the motion. He felt the density was still too high and should be closer to 40 units. He wanted the Summerhill project discussed before any straw votes were taken. He could not support the Summerhill project and there are significant issues on the bypass road. Since there is another developer that will pick up infrastructure costs if this is not approved, he preferred not to approve this at this point in time. Or if it is approved, it should be subject to the people of Pleasanton having the right to vote on it. People did agreatjob negotiating onthis, but they compromised too soon. Mayor Tarver supported the staff recommendation for dedication of open space with the understanding that it will go back through a planning process and public review. He preferred to keep options open. He did not support the gavel road and would like a less intrusive construction. Ms. Ayala was extremely supportive of the golf course and that is why she supported the Greenbriar development. Now we still are not sure we will have a bypass road. She was very uncomfortable taking this piece by piece, particularly when the second reading of the ordinance is at a special meeting a week before the election for the CAPP Initiative. Them are infrastructure problems that will not go away, such as power supplies, sewer, school crowding, park land, etc. She pointed out that 25% of this project is in open space and if this goes to the ballot, a selling point would be the trail to be used for all citizens of Pleasanton. If we required development to put aside 25% and then keep the rest of the City from it, that is not what we are about. She was extremely uncomfortable, because she did not think the entire package would come together. Council can go ahead with the golf course pieces without this. She didn't want special meetings to rush this process. She would like to approve the golf course and TTK and let the rest of this go. She was uncomfortable approving this before the election. Mayor Tarver said the things Ms. Ayala outlined having to do with infrastructure issues are why he supported the staff recommendation that states if all the projects related to the golf course bypass road move forward, staff supports integrated growth management approval. Otherwise, there is no growth management approval until we get a growth management report and we address the infrastructure and whether we can accommodate the projects. This process has gone on for a long time. He heard these people years ago and these people are saying its okay with them. This is not as dense as the Specific Plan allows. It's consistent with the Specific Plan and the developer has reduced the units to 48. How is this any different than any other PUD that provides growth management will be allocated based on infrastructure. If we had kept that in mind, we would not have the current uproar with people saying Council is not listening. Ms. Michelotti indicated her concern is that Happy Valley went through the process and looked at road alternatives. She wants to give as much guarantee to Happy Valley residents as possible that Council has not abandoned the commitment to get an alternate route. Council will approve the golf course to the City's benefit and she wants to keep other commitments. She mminded everyone that this property is part ofthe North Sycamore Specific Plan that has already had an extensive process and input. The 18 10/19/99 Pleasanton City Council Minutes
