Pleasanton Hotel Closing End of Year
Info Pleasanton reports The Pleasanton Hotel is closing at the end of the year. The current Pleasanton Hotel restaurant owner Bill Laube notified many wedding and banquet bookings that he was unable to commit to their desired bookings as he negotiated the lease with the buildings owner Sue Martinovich. Since the early 80′s, the Laube’s have operated the restaurant in the Pleasanton Hotel.
So what will become of The Pleasanton Hotel? The current owner, Sue Martinovich plans to renovate the Pleasanton Hotel in an attempt to attract a ‘younger’ crowd.
With current establishments like Redcoats capturing this crowd in Downtown Pleasanton, it can only be a benefit to the owner and that of Downtown Pleasanton to change and become more like Walnut Creek and parts of Danville. Info Pleasanton also hears the former Union Jack Pub will soon become an establishment catering to a younger crowd as well. Can’t tell you the source, but it won’t be a Cuban restaurant…
Pleasanton School District to Pay $2.6 Million Neal School
The Pleasanton School District will pay $2.6 Million to Signature Properties and Standard Pacific to settle a long 7 year battle over the Neal Elementary school in Pleasanton.
In 2001 the Pleasanton School District estimated $8.5 Million was needed to build the school. In 2002 the price jumped to $13.5 Million when John Casey was named Superintendent and reevaluated the cost to build the school.
As you can guess one side says there was a legal agreement to build the school and the other said there wasn’t. $2.1Million is being paid by the Pleasanton School District towards the legal fees of 5 years and $500,000 for architectural plans for the developers.
After years of battling between the Pleasanton School District and the developers, the Pleasanton School District will be hiring the same law firm who represented the builders to represent the Pleasanton School District to seek a judgment against the original law firm the Pleasanton School District hired. The District is seeking $4.5 Million from their original law firm.
Looks like the battle is not over yet.
Update – Oak Grove Pleasanton Ruling
Oak Grove Pleasanton 51 lots development
Oak Grove in Pleasanton has been a lengthy process for the Lin family taking roughly 17 years to get where they are. A ruling on Oak Grove in Pleasanton by Judge Frank Roesch last Thursday forces the city sign the development agreement, which to this point City Manager Nelson Fialho has refused to sign. This ruling does not give the green light to start the Oak Grove development because the residents of Pleasanton through the Save Pleasanton Hills group can reverse the council’s approval of the PUD. The approval of the Planned Unit Development is what the Save Pleasanton Hills group want reversed.
Oak Grove Pleasanton is 600 Acres of land at the South East corner of Pleasanton.
Oak Grove Development would…
Allow 51 Custom Lots
Give 497 acres to the city of Pleasanton
Owners will give $1 Million in cash to the city.
