beyond. From there on, the Committee changed the recommendation either to agriculture or rural density residential. The problem with saying we will treat it the way the South Livermore Plan did is the South Livermore Area Plan simply calls it a transition area and does not give any density, other than policy language that says it should be a gateway to the wine country. Ms. Mohr felt that is what we are dealing with, the gateway question, and it begins there. Mr. Swift indicated Council can do what it wishes with the property west of the dump. Mr. Tarvet referred to the letter received from Mr. McGuire which proposed that his property be separated from the rest of the Vineyard Corridor. His property is located on the west side of the dump and there does not seem to be controversy regarding those properties. Ms. Mohr felt it was okay to leave those out and focus on the problem areas. Mr. Swift stated there is an issue with regard to the area to the west of the dump. In all the preliminary discussions with those property owners, because they were included in the area covered by the proposed Specific Plan, staff was taking the position that any of the benefits that accrued through the development of the entire corridor in terms of extra infrastructure improvements or parkland, etc. would potentially allow them to get beyond the midpoint of their own density range, which blended from 3-4 units per acre. If they were taken out of the study area, under the new Council policies, they would probably not be able to get beyond the midpoint of the density range. Mr. McGuire and the rest of the owners want to be at that upper end. If you include them in the specific plan area, they have the potential to use the community park and other kinds of things to boost density. If you take them out, their density will be cut in half. Ms. Michelotti felt there was a motion approved at the last meeting. There is no representation here tonight from this area. She wanted to make sure that the people who were here the last time be notified that there has been subsequent action, so they can be prepared for the July 15 meeting. Mr. Tarvet wanted it to be clear that staff and the public understand what he is trying to do and that there is no flip/flop at the final hour. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Dennis, Pie, o, and Mayor Tarvet NOES: Councilmembers - Michelotti and Mohr ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None 07/09/96 -42-
