<br />B OPEN SPACE PRESERVE <br /> <br />2.1 Landscape Character <br />22.5 acres of the 30.5 acre site will be dedicated as open space. Today the site is a beautiful <br />example of the native California oak woodland grassland that exists in the eastern and western <br />hillside city limits. This project seeks to preserve the native landscape. Much of the surrounding <br />hillside will be donated to the City of Pleasanton as open space to amend the neighboring Alviso <br />Adobe Park. <br /> <br />~~... \ <br />\' ....... <br />\ ...- <br />.-......- <br />\ ...~... .. .J , ~. ~ <br />\ ... :;..". .), '\ <br />~"'.. 0."') ., . <br />\ OPEN SPACE ~'Il)~.~)~)),.. <br />\ r__ ~~ ' <br />., i~ .- - , ...~.... <br />,~ I.'\,J 1.!~ \ ... ...... ... <br />t J01' ....... <br />'i, -,.~ ~ ~I , . . .

Also important to <br />the site's history are the remnant walnut <br />orchards that were planted along Old <br />Foothill Road. These tie the site into the <br />history of Alviso Adobe Park and should <br />be preserved and enhanced. Trees in poor <br />condition and non-native exotics such as <br />Acacia, Eucalyptus, Prunus cerasifera and <br />Pinus canariensis should be removed as part <br />of a planned management of the open space <br />by the City of Pleasanton. See the tree <br />report prepared by Hort Sciences for further <br />elaboration. No new plantings are proposed <br />for the open space, except for in the buffer <br />zone. <br /> <br /> <br />Meadowlark property in 2006 showing preserved <br />specimen Platanus racemosa on the left and Oak <br />woodland beyond. <br /> <br />MEADOWLARK PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DESIGN GUIDELINES <br />Pleasanton, California <br /> <br />DRAFT May 2006 <br />p.4 <br />
