r_apici �;r.owth Comm. Gatto as�.ed if there was ii�forni.ation availabl.e from Public Glorlcs
capz�i±y that would stzow va.rious capaciLies of. traffi.c arteries, sewers, water
supply, etc.; which portion of cit_y could rake rapid growt.h.
L'ti.lities a Mr. Sisk answered �aork has been done on sewer situation. From th� water �
btzsiness staildpoinl., it would apPear a di,recfi input from water and utiiity companies
as to what new lanc� use �aould mean as related to new anc� existing line.s
would be h�lpful. The general opinioli�ras they ar� in business to make a
profit and both private an3 city services �-ii]_1 rneet need.
S�.�wer capacity Associate Pl.anner Laurin stated the m3ster plan r.►ade several years ago
m.aximurn had been revised recently and figures now indicate that the capacity
of the se�,1er system wou:L� be enouhh for. ma�imurn a�.te,.native. He noted
a liigher pop;:la�ion in the flatt.er area of th�� City than was indicated.
ir� the 1,964 Genera.l Plan was offse� by the lower population in the hi1_1
area. He said wat�er c�m�anies basically serv� i=he eastern part of the
City anc1. there is adequate capaci.ty for comm��_�ial, industrial or residen-
tial. The westerly part of citv is servec'. by ci�y works.
Traff.ic . Regarding �raffic, it �aas r�oted that tTari_ous l.and t�se al.ternatives are
being proposed witl� th�.ir effect or_ present system and �ahat it means.
Schocls Comms �ellis aslced about sc�zools. P1r. Laur�_�i sa�d th^ basic� materia]_
capacity .��3s there. As to the preser.t capaciti_es of_ schools, no response has
unknow:i b: en received as yet.
Ccmm. Gatto noted more technica]_ information is needed for good evalua-
tion a?�d would be needed b,y Staff as part of ii�pute
Con�n> I�Te?.lis asked about transportation commi.ttee. and possible
tra�.sporta.tion in the future.
Local bus i�ir. Si_sk said the Santa Cl�ara District efforts to date have been
service directed to local hus service. He noted Mr. Laurin had attended
the Metro Tr�nsit meeting. �
Mr. Laurin the� reparted on output from mevting. The Smith network
Rus reaching consisted of one bus for each line running every 30 �rinutes. This
s�a1.l part of covers only sma?J pa? of population and would not allow for fr.eeway
population capacity to diminish.
Neighborhood Another idea was for indivi.dual cities to add a local run which would
bus line twist around in the neighborhoods.
No home to There tiad been a lot of proposals for the future. Rapid. Transit plan
work change for BART alox:g railroad track where So�thern Pacifi.c had rur.. Another
w/Rapi� Tran- was to run on Highway 5 ari� 280 instead of Foothill. 'These are not
siL proposed for next ten year period and doubttul a�?d very rincertain
wheti:er money ���ould be available for it. Mr. Laurin expressed his
opinion that iz was �angerous to gresume any home to work change
with Rapid Transit. '

Artother proposal th�t was anpealing but very costly ���as an elevated �levated
