right-of-way abutting the eastern boundary of the project site, via a proposed  
20-foot-wide driveway. The project includes a request for an Exception to  
Division 914 (Collect and Convey) of the County Ordinance to allow on-site  
stormwater treatment where collection and conveyance to an adequate storm  
drain system or adequate natural watercourse is required. The project

Speakers: Deanne Garrehy, Pleasanton; Chuck Bauman, Pleasanton; Wendi Silva,

OPEN public hearing - members of the public spoke in opposition to the project  
stating that the size of the residence is too large for the neighborhood, adding that  
there was no effort from the developers to come up with a mutual agreement.  
DENY the project based on the proposed residence being incompatible with the  
surrounding neighborhood in terms of size per the small lot design review findings.
