C <br />Planning Commission Regular Meeting <br />Minute No. 95-22 <br />November 9, 1995 <br />Page 10 of 11 <br />Dlugosh: I have no problem in _trying to discuss the architectural elements on November 30, <br />although I think that is a pretty narrow scope to bring everybody back unless the rest of the <br />Commission agrees to that. Expressed that there is no real reason to discuss the ballfield issue <br />further. Mentioned Commissioner Chin's comment that it would be an undue burden on the <br />homeowners group going forward into the future to deal with. <br />Reed: Suggested that the Commission vote on whether to have another work session. <br />The Commission voted (4 ayes) (2 noes) to have a work session on November 30 to get <br />details of additional architectural enhancements. <br />Livermore: Confirmed that the next work session will begin at 7:30 p.m. Additionally, Mr, <br />Derrick Whitworth, Department of Toxic Substances, is here tonight to respond to any questions <br />you may have. <br />Berger: Wants to have a field trip to Pleasanton and San Jose for viewing the courtyard homes. <br />Collier: Would we be violating the Brown Act if we do that? <br />Emslie: All of the field trips will be noticed. <br />Derrick Whitworth, Department of Toxic Substances Control, Project Manager on <br />remediation work: Has been involved with the project since December 1994. I am here to <br />respond to any questions that you might have. <br />Ravenstad: Does the toxic material that has been capped in the park towards the East have to be <br />in that location? <br />Collier: Would you be afraid to buy a home in this project? <br />Derrick Whitworth, DTSC: In response to Commissioner Ravenstad: That is the location that was <br />agreed upon.. In response to Commissioner Collier: We cannot answer a question like that. It <br />meets the stringent requirements of DTSC. <br />Dlugosh: Did you find anything unusual there? <br />Derrick Whitworth, DTSC: No. The site had been extensively surveyed before the removal <br />work was done. There were no surprises. <br />Chin: How much participation did DTSC have throughout the different stages of the clean-up. <br />When they approved the soils, was that after the capping or before the capping. <br />Derrick Whitworth, DTSC: The soil was excavated and placed in separate piles. Staff had <br />oversight during excavation. We made random visits and checks. The excavation continued until <br />the contaminants were removed per DTSC requirements. <br />
