From: heather Truro To: lanirp Stera Subject: East side plan for Pleasanton Date: Wednesday,May 22,2013 8:16:33 PM I would appreciate you entering my comments into the official record and circulating them with the task force and decision makers. I was planning on being at the meeting tonight but have an unexpected family situation that prevents me from attending. I am deeply disturbed by the 4 alternatives that are being presented. None of these plans remotely reflect the direction given by the community at the initial meetings to gain public opinion. Each time the public comments the plans move forward in a different direction. Of the 4 proposed plan alternatives - none reflect the interest expressed by the public. It appears clear that alternatives are being put forward that are contrary to direction even given by task force members - to keep the mix similar to the rest of Pleasanton relative to high density housing/ single family housing ratios. I am very concerned that we are creating more problems for Pleasanton with very little to gain. Is the intent here to create a dumping ground for low income housing? No one wants it in their neighborhood so lets create a new part of town to put all the low income housing?! Are you kidding me! This is not in the spirit of the law of blending. This is not in the spirit of the community and this does not match with any of our "Community of Character" characteristics. I would like to have these options pulled from consideration before more time and money is wasted on something that is so clearly objectionable. If one of these plans had to go through, the only one even with in the realm of reasonableness is alternative one that has the least amount of high density housing ( a ratio of high density housing more similar to the rest of Pleasanton. Lets not throw away our "jewel" and make it into the bad part of town. Lets not squander the last bit of open space we have. Lets not add traffic and over impact the most traffic laden & high impacted schools in Pleasanton.
