_ develop methods to demonstrate measurable results and successes to show a return on the <br /> investment of the members. She looked forward to the challenge and to working with Council. <br /> <br />Other Speakers <br /> <br /> Jack Hovingh, 4250 Muirwood Drive, appreciated the discussions about Veterans' Day <br />and the Community Character principles. These are the foundations on which our City should <br />develop. He believed Pleasanton is one of the first cities that has every felt the need to have <br />these principles articulated. He then referred to freedom of speech and First Amendment rights. <br />He said there is an alternative to the local newspapers, which frequently merely applaud the <br />elected officials. He referred to the web site Opinionpleasanton.com. On another topic related to <br />freedom of speech, he was distressed that several campaign signs had been removed from his <br />property. That is a denial of his freedom of speech. This is unacceptable behavior and he urged <br />the City to do what it can to discourage this behavior. He also urged any candidate for public <br />office to discourage this activity by the candidate's supporters. <br /> <br />There were no further public speakers. <br /> <br />6. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS <br /> <br />Item 6a <br />Consideration of whether to confirm approval of an additional 202,000 square feet of <br />commercial space pursuant to the Stoneridge Regional Shopping Center Development <br />Agreement (SR 01:229) <br /> <br />Brian Swirl presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Mr. Campbell asked for clarification on the 75 acres referred to in the staff report. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swirl said the 75 acres is the entire area within the Stoneridge Mall ring road. The <br />additional square feet would be built in a location to be determined. There is no particular plan <br />for the expansion. It is most likely to be located in the areas of lower elevation to accommodate <br />additional decked parking. <br /> <br /> Mr. Campbell referred to the possibility that the West Las Positas interchange may not be <br />built but enhancements to Stoneridge Drive would be constructed; does staff think there would <br />be no additional traffic impacts from the construction of the additional square footage. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swirl said that was the conclusion of the study done by the West Las Positas <br />committee. With the enhancements proposed for Stoneridge Drive, that would replace the traffic <br />carrying capacity of the West Las Positas interchange. <br /> <br />Mr. Campbell asked about traffic mitigation fees to be paid by Stoneridge Mall. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 6 11/06/01 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
