had is with connecting this project to the golf course project. She wanted to be fair and not create exceptions based on the desires of individual Councilmembers. She looks at areas within the City limits as areas that will be developed. The New Cities property was always presumed to be developed. She was disappointed that these issues were not brought forward during the General Plan process and felt there was considerable public input on the Specific Plan. If the project is significantly changed, the Specific Plan should be changed. She did not want to put off a decision until a development agreement could be drafted. Mayor Tarver said this plan fits into the General Plan. He said the General Plan and Specific Plan process does not get citizen input like an individual project does. He agreed with the concerns mentioned. The project is tied to the golf course because the developer needs to understand what the development agreement is about and determine if they are willing to pay for the infrastructure costs. He said over $2 million and many years have been invested in the golf course. He agreed it has to be a win/win situation, but if a resolution cannot be reached the golf course will be lost. He did not believe the Specific Plan needed to be revisited. Ms. Ayala said the problem with the General Plan is that during the process the availability of infrastrncturewas not discussed. It was assumed it would be available. She has no desire to rush this project through. With all the meetings, committees, etc., she thought everyone knew this project was connected to the golf course. She felt the developer has not put forth the effort for an acceptable plan. She was willing to revisit the plan. She is aware of the controversy and hoped everyone could work together to reach a win/win situation. She wanted to discuss this further with the Councilmembers. Mr. Pico felt the developer has not worked in the neighborhood's best interest. Ms. Michelotti did not understand where a green belt area could be installed and still have the view from the noah side of the Vantana Hills. She was willing to look at the plan to make improvements but wanted the people to understand that some of the visibility may be lost. She would like a development agreement in place before the people vote in November. This way the people will understand where the golf course road is to be constructed. Ms. Ayala asked where the golf course road was to be constructed. Mr. Bates said the road would be constructed from the Vantana Hills area, along the ridgeline, at an elevation of 485 and 463. Ms. Michelotti said there would be a visibility problem and how houses are sited on the hillside and/or ridgeline. She did not see how the visibility could be achieved with the proposed development plan. Ms. Ayala said the neighborhood photomontage shows a view corridor. Pleasanton City Council 9 08/09/99 Minutes
