Maria Hoey <br /> Subject FW: Lund Ranch Greenbriar Proposal <br /> From: Don Dalton <br /> Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 11:18 AM <br /> To: Marion Pavan <br /> Cc: Randi Dalton <br /> Subject: Lund Ranch Greenbriar Proposal <br /> Dear Marion, <br /> We will not be able to attend the meeting tonight 8-27-2014, so please accept these statements from a 10 year resident <br /> of Pleasanton and homeowner in Bridle Creek since 2004, I am writing to you in support of Option #1 of the proposed <br /> development plan. <br /> This option is the best in terms of minimizing impact to the environment, as described in the staff report; it minimizes <br /> grading and does the best job of preserving hillside views. <br /> From a traffic perspective, staff has also determined that Option#1 will be have the least impact relative to other <br /> alternatives. <br /> Also we'd like to go on record to state the following: <br /> 1. Option#1, the Greenbriar development plan, which has traffic access to and from the Lund Ranch II site only via <br /> Independence Road/Lund Ranch Road, is clearly the Environmentally Superior Alternative with the least amount of <br /> environmental impacts. <br /> 2. One of the project objectives of the Greenbriar development plan is to implement a project design that complies with <br /> all the provisions of Measure PP, preserving the hillsides and ridgelines of the community. <br /> 3. Option #1 and Option#2 (access via Independence Road/Lund Ranch Road and Middleton Place ) are the only <br /> access routes that do not violate Measure PP, the hillside initiative passed by the voters of Pleasanton . <br /> 4. The long-term traffic increases on the local neighborhood streets of Option #1 were found to be"less than <br /> significant". <br /> 5. Option #1, which does not cross the creek, is the superior plan in the area of biological resources. <br /> 6. Option#1 is the superior plan in the area of water quality. <br /> 7. Option#1 produces less traffic noise to neighborhoods adjoining the project site as compared to the other <br /> alternatives <br /> 8, Option#1 has less geological and soils impacts since it eliminates grading for roadway construction on hillside <br /> slopes exceeding 25%. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Donald & Randi Dalton <br /> 1 <br />
