be t/ed to a permanent so/ution to the street and the traffic. The same issues will come up in the future if it is not addressed now. Mayor Pico asked if a solution could be accomplished in a reasonable period of time and tied to the development of the Peterson property, would that be acceptable alternative? Mr. Sturdevant said it would be acceptable if there is a commitment made in an acceptable period of time. The neighbors did not want to see the Peterson's project approved and three years from now revisit the same situation with traffic. Mayor Pico reminded the neighbors that the City does have the ability to exercise the right of condemnation to force something to happen, if that is the vote of the Council. Mr. Sturdevant understood that. The important thing is that the Singletons and Gonsalves be approached about the use of their property. If that fails, it is understood that the City has other alternatives. Ms. Hosterman said it appears as though the neighborhood was happy with the decision of the Planning Commission. Mr. Sturdevant said they were not excited about the decision, but had resolved themselves to it. There was not going to be a sidewalk put in and it was basically going to stay the way it is.

The Planning Commission voted 3:0 on this with Commissioner Sullivan absent and Commissioner Arkin abstained. The project developer is required to dedicate the right of way for Dennis Drive, but only pay the cost of its construction. Ms. Sturdevent said it was more complicated than that. He was present when this happened. It was very difficult to understand at the time. He felt the whole neighborhood condition needed to be looked at with all of the factors taken into consideration with alternatives examined. He felt the only short term remedy is the installation of the barrier. This will force the cut through traffic onto Stoneridge. Jay Galvin, 2638 Torrey Court, said he represented a different set of neighbors. To his knowledge his neighbors had not been notified of the possibility of a barrier, which would lock them out of accessing a major arterial. The 90 homes in his area do not want their neighborhood isolated and forced to go through the Guzman cut-off. He asked that if the PUD expands so that it impacts additional houses, that those residents be Pleasanton City Council 15 09.02.03 Minutes
