Ventana Hills Steering Committee c/o Lofland Pleasanton, CA 94566 June 23, 2015 Planning Commissioners City of Pleasanton Subject: Item 6.a., PUD-25, Lund Ranch II - Planning Commission, June 24, 2015 After reviewing the Staff Report for the above subject item, the Ventana Hills Steering Committee makes the following comments; VI. KEY PROJECT ISSUES, Measure PP Questions, #4. Roads are Structures/Roads are not Structures, page 15 of 40; Measure PP was not intended to include roads as clarified by the proponents of ®Measure PP prior to the vote of residents in November 2008. For more clarification, please see our letter dated February 24, 2015 (attached). VII. PLANNING COMMISSION OPTIONS 3. Approve a revised project that divides the project into two separate areas, each accessed through a different neighborhood, pages 34 & 35 of 40 As clarification to a Sunset Creek Lane connection - We believe the Planning Commission, like Council and Staff, will have the alternative of use retaining walls on the Sunset Creek Lane extension and, therefore, can create a road that fits with the topography, saving many trees and much cost. Since the use of retaining walls in the creek bed is being allowed, their use in a biologically less sensitive area should also be allowed to help save trees. Regarding the creek crossing and bridge abutments - As mentioned in our letter of February 24, 2015, item 3 (attached), these would have either non-existent wetland impact, or only several sq. ft. of impact which pales in comparison to the wetland impact of the proposed lot layout, which backs up lots over the creek channel for most of its length, literally relocating the creek channel for 243 feet, with hundreds of lineal feet of retaining walls backed up to, and over the former creek bed.
