The Association wrote to the Mayor and Jeff Knowles in the Traffic Department in June 2005 to express its concerns about increased parking and traffic should this addition be approved. A copy of our letter is attached for your reference. The Pleasanton Village Association is directly adjacent to the area where the church is planning this addition. We have 196 units in our development and parking is already extremely tight. Right now, the residents closest to the church have trouble parking in their own community when the church has services on Sunday. Weare concerned that this will expand into a daily problem, as people will be using the gymnasium day and night on weekdays and weekends. We are also concerned about increased traffic and speeding on Rheem. The City has agreed to re-strip Rheem in this area, but cannot provide us with a date when the work will be performed. We do not know if this will help, but anyone who wants to access the proposed building from Rheem will impact access to our community. Another concern is increased noise from people using the facility. Even if they are not trying to be loud, there will be noise from vehicles, people chatting as they walk from their cars into the building, and noise from inside the building when it is in use. We have homes that border this area with windows on the church side, and it will be very noisy for those homeowners. We are asking you to do the following as part of your consideration ofthis project: I.
