Oak Grove Development

• June 30, 2006: A draft EIR on the development at Oak Grove has been released.
• July 26, 2006, Pleasanton Planning Commission: public comments on the draft EIR were taken.
• August 14, 2006: Mailed comments accepted by Planning Commisssion
• October 6, 2007: The Pleasanton City Council approves the Oak Grove Development, Alternative plan #4 below,
  by a vote of 4 - 1, with Cindy McGovern in dissent, overruling the Planning Commission which did not certify the EIR
  and has not approved this development.

A possible referendum by Pleasanton voters is in the works.

Also, a citizens group is circulating a Save Our Hills initiative to prevent grading and development on the top 100 ft. of
a ridgeline as well as on 25% slopes or greater. See details on www.savepleasantonhills.com.

Cindy McGovern has written a Contra Costa Times article urging signatures.

However, Jennifer Hosterman and Matt Sullivan have written a rebuttal article.

Within this boundary, the main proposed development plan: (click on map to enlarge):

98 lots, averaging 26,000 square feet, for single family homes access only through an extension of Hearst Dr 6.5 acre public park at entrance

Four alternative housing plans have been proposed: (click on each map to enlarge)

Note that for Alternatives 1, 2, and 4, the public park has been eliminated.

Alternative 1	Alternative 2	Alternative 3	Alternative 4
98 lots divided into: 70 single family lots 7 fourplex housing structures	80 lots for: 80 single family lots no fourplex housing structures	Combines with the Main Proposal, Alternatives 1, 2, and 4 to provide a second full access road that would eventually intersect Old Vineyard Road.	51 lots for: 51 single family lots homesites nearly doubles, averaging 46,460 sq ft
Alternative 5: as in the photo above, the "no development" or "different location" alternative. The EIR deems both "infeasible." We disagree.
