community. Chairperson Blank indicated that he did not support any gated developments, which he felt detracted from the open community feel of Pleasanton. 3. Does the Commission wish to make any suggestions regarding the architectural materials used? Commissioner Olsen indicated that he liked the house designs. Commissioner O'Conner stated he would like to see more detailing and "quaintness" added to the homes. He noted that Plan 4 was not as attractive as the other models. Commissioner Blank felt that the Plan 4 design needed to be improved. He noted that the other three models could use more detailing. He also indicated that the placement of the two-story model was important and he would like to know where they would be located in the development. Commissioner Blank indicated that the homes needed to be sprinklered and would like to see more than 50 Green Building points. He requested viewscapes be provided from the neighboring homes. Workshop Public Comment John Knight, 3372 Sagewood Court, indicated that he was happy with the development and that Ponderosa disclosed the project to him when he purchased his property. He requested public trail access through the proposed EVA connecting to Sandstone Court. Staff had also received an email and letter from two residents in the Ironwood development which were forwarded to the Commission for the workshop. Linda Purcell, 3363 Sagewood Court, expressed concerns regarding view impacts, setbacks from the existing homes, the proposed gated community, and public parks and trails in the east Pleasanton area. Toni Purcell, 3461 Cornerstone Court, expressed concerns regarding circulation/traffic and dust impacts from construction activity. II.
