Pleasanton Measure D- No on D or Yes on D??

Pleasanton Measure D- Oak Grove Development

After years (since 1992) of back and forth between City officials, residents and land owners, the decision is down to a vote. Originally the Lin family who owns the land proposed a golf course with 122 homes. They could build 98, but dropped it to 51 large estates on about 70 acres. Is this what Pleasanton needs? What else comes with the 51 home sites? You decide June 8th.

Oak Grove (No Vote)

Supporters of a No vote state that allowing Oak Grove to happen places large homes over 12,000 sf. on the ridgeline on Pleasanton’s hills.

Homes will be seen by existing neighborhoods and many parts of the city.

Figures stated about the PUSD are not correct as to the money it could receive and would be spent.

The 496 acres of donated open space is not that usable

The developer will be cutting down more than the 58 trees they stated.

City Council Agenda 7-15-08

More than 5,000 Pleasanton residents signed a petition asking the Pleasanton City Council to place an initiative on the ballot which would limit development on Pleasanton hillsides. Some of what is asked for is.

• Limiting development on hillsides with grades greater than 25% within 100 feet of a ridgeline
• Stricter definition of ‘housing unit’ increasing the current number of residential units in Pleasanton

Supporters are looking for an ordinance that would stop developments like Oak Grove in Pleasanton which is a 51 lot custom home development on 496 acres in the southeast hills of Pleasanton.
