burnswuacrd'fAu- tVilliCZDIAL Subject FW: East Pleasanton Specific Plan Provided to the City Council After Distribution of Packet From: Wendy Costanza Date I7 ��I- Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 2015 5:10 PM To: Mayor and City Council Cc: Shweta Bonn Subject: East Pleasanton Specific Plan Dear Mayor and Council Members, I understand that at your upcoming meeting on May 19th, you will consider stopping the planning process for the East Pleasanton Specific Plan due to the current drought situation in California. I respectfully request that you reconsider your position. I believe that stopping planning due to the drought is an irresponsible waste of community resources and it interferes with the community planning process. Numerous residents on the Task Force have spent three years considering planning parameters/constraints and gathering public input to put together a plan that offers numerous community amenities and infrastructure improvements. To ignore these efforts and stop the process now is completely disrespectful of the task force and community members who have spent so many hours working together, and it shows a complete lack of respect for the community planning process in general. I recognize that the drought is a serious concern for the City of Pleasanton, however the drought should NOT be used as a reason to stop planning for the future of our community. The City should instead take the opportunity itiplan this area to include water conservation techniques and practices while we have a solid, viable plan in ace. I support the proposed plan, which offers both a long term build-out of homes and provides many benefits to the city. I believe that having a solid plan in place and executing it with sensitivity to current and future water needs is the responsible thing to do. Please vote to continue the planning for the East Pleasanton Specific Plan. Thank you for your consideration. Best regards, Wendy Webber-Costanzo Click here to report this email as spam. 1
