Planning Commission Regular Meeting <br />Minute -No. 95-22 <br />November 9, 1995 <br />Page 2 of 11 <br />Livermore: Explained that the purpose of this work session was to update the Planning <br />Commission about the status of the application and to enable the Planning Commission and the <br />public to get familiar with the Precise Development Plan for Phases 2A, 2B, and 3 of the Roberts <br />Landing Residential development. The current application requires environmental review for the <br />impacts that were not examined in the previous EIR. The environmental requirement is the same <br />as in the application process for Phases IA and 113. This environmental will take the form of a <br />Supplemental Environmental Impact Report. This is anticipated to be the last environmental <br />document. .We have had the GDP EIR in 1992, the SEIR for Phases IA and 113 in 1993 and now <br />the SEIR for Phases 2 and 3. The DSEIR will not be discussed. The DSEIR will be ready <br />sometime next week or shortly thereafter so staff tentatively scheduled work sessions and public <br />hearings of which tonight is the first scheduled worksession. Another work session has been <br />scheduled for November 30, 1995, and the public hearing will be December 14, 1995. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />Reed: Opened public comments and explained that the comments should not pertain to the <br />project. <br />Lou Filipovich, 15376 Lavern Drive: Wants his statements entered into the record regarding his <br />concern about the concept of Roberts Landing being a city within a city. He wants to make sure <br />that the people buying homes will be protected when they try to resell down the road. He <br />expressed concern regarding contamination and how this will affect homeowner insurance. <br />Expressed concern that down the road, people will suffer from this issue. Mentioned that Citation <br />Homes could have taken a better option related to removing contaminants that would have made <br />it easier for insurance underwriters. <br />Jeff Houston, Citizens for Alameda's Last Marshlands Representative: Welcomed new <br />Planning Commission members. Mentioned that the citizens passed an initiative. After the <br />Planning Commission and City Council passed their approvals, the citizens felt that the project <br />needed additional criteria that was lacking in what the City had passed. Two of the issues that are <br />most important are the marshlands and toxic contaminations that will affect the marshlands and <br />the homeowners. Reminded the commission of the importance of those issues and looks forward <br />to reading and commenting on the analysis of those issues in the upcoming SEIR. <br />Emslie: Highlighted the purpose of tonights work session: to allow ample opportunity for the <br />information to be presented to the Planning Commission. Staff recognizes the history of the <br />project and multiple jurisdictions that are involved with the project, the lengthy history of reviews <br />and environmental documents is very complex. Staff wanted to make sure the Planning <br />Commission had enough time to digest and ask questions and comment upon the last two phases <br />of the project through a visual presentation and listening to the various consultants who <br />participated in the preparation of the Precise Development Plan. John Hughes of Citation Homes <br />is heading the presentation and will introduce the various consultants who have participated in the <br />preparation of this plan. Mentioned November 30, 1995 as a second work session reserved to <br />discuss Roberts Landing if the Planning Commission deems it necessary. <br />
