Maria Hoey Subject: FW: Lund Ranch II Original Message From: Renee Mandavi Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 9:28 AM To: Marion Pavan Subject: Lund Ranch II Hello Marion I am helping settle my daughter into college this week in southern California, or I would make every effort to be at the meeting tonight regarding the Greenbriar development plan. In my absence, I feel it is important that our voices be heard in regards to the traffic plans for the proposed Lund Ranch II development. We are concerned about honoring the already approved hillside initiative(Measure PP), as well as in sharing the traffic between already congested neighborhood streets between the neighboring communities of Bridle Creek/Sycamore Heights and Lund Ranch I. The development plan, which has traffic access to and from the Lund Ranch II site via Independence Road/Lund Ranch Road,seems the environmental superior alternative with the least amount of impacts. In trying to keep an open mind, it would be irresponsible to rest all of the traffic on just one outlet, both from a health and safety perspective (emergency access),as well as impact of significantly increased traffic. If Pleasanton decides that a new community is in order on the hillside, it seems reasonable to open access to/from more than one outlet. While I would PERSONALLY prefer for the development plan showing access from Independence/Lund Ranch Road, I can see that from the perspective of the community,that multiple access would be most reasonable. As an original Bridle Creek owner, I can say with 100%certainty,that the information regarding the plans for this neighborhood was not only not disclosed, but was denied, when we inquired about future plans for the hillside directly behind our community. That said, as we move forward, I feel it is imperative that the planning commission not listen to ONE community, but consider the overall impact and proceed in a reasonable, shared access alternative. Thank you for your time. Renee Mandavi 1
