Therefore he asked if the CAPP supporters would study the facts and not issue propaganda trying to get an emotional reaction from the community. Leslie Howard, 1027 Hancock Court, has seen a lot of changes since she moved here in 1985. The biggest change being the overcrowding of schools. She felt the Planning Commission did its job. She enjoyed looking at the ridgeline and did not want to see it destroyed. Marry Coat, 6443 Alisal Street, supported the golf course provided there is a bypass road first. He is tired of the traffic on Alisal. He did not want any more homes built in the area. He did not support the annexation nor did he want to be connected to City water and sewer. Chris Peterson, 5213 Independence Drive, felt the plan was not consistent with the General Plan. He also believed there could never be enough golf courses. He was not opposed to the development of the property; he would just like to see it done right. Carole Varela, 3858 Mohr Avenue, indicated that she was the sender of the e-mail regarding the CAPP Initiative. She said if the Council would listen to the majority of the community the referendum process would not be needed. The CAPP Initiative came as a result of public dissatisfaction. She said the CAPP Initiative is a mechanism so the community has a final say in what is or is not developed. She hoped the City Council would not rush in its decision regarding this or future projects. Ms. Ayala understood the golf course area was left out of the CAPP Initiative. Ms. Varela said Stan Erickson is the author of the CAPP Initiative and all questions should be directed to him. Mayor Tarver clarified that he asked for the regularly scheduled City Council meetings to be moved from August 17 to August 23. The meeting tonight is a continuation of the August 3 City Council meeting. Kevin Beber, 1054 Hancock Court, said he is opposed to the New Cities development because the schools are already overcrowded and the density is too high for the beautiful hillside. Phil Howard, 1027 Hancock Court, was opposed to any development supporting the golf course. Personally he did not want any development on the hillside. He also opposed any road that could be seen from the valley area. Ms. Michelotti said one of the conditions of the golf course is that a bypass road be constructed. Mr. Pico asked for a show of hands in opposition of the project and bypass road. Numerous hands were raised. Pleasanton City Council 7 08/09/99 Minutes
