Planning Referrals
Ile: It was the Commission consensus
Lucky Store - Caulfield at Lakevi
that a focused environmental impact report should be developed for
this project. The focus items would include traffic, economic
questions, cost/revenue balance, impact that sales would have on
similar businesses, esthetics, and land use policies.
River Walk
The Commission reviewed the Johnson -Guthrie plan for improving the
pedestrian movement between the Keller Street Garage and the
Petaluma River. It was the Commission consensus that the
improvements to the 'Golden Concourse' walkway between the garage
and Petaluma Blvd. North are 'do -able'. Concern was expressed by
members of the Commission that the consultant's revisions had not
reflected the comments regarding the need for satellite parking in the
downtown area, regarding the probability the river walkway would be
underwater some of the time, and regarding the placement of the
proposed pedestrian bridge to the Eagle Shopping Center.
Also discussed were the use of the Friedman lot for parking, the use
of Old Cap'n Sims for wine tasting, and the fishing pier the Kiwanis
Club has offered to the City.
It was agreed the downtown plan should be completed, the walkway
connecting Petaluma Blvd. to the Keller Street garage and Putnam Park
should be completed, the transition of Water Street could be planned
over a period of about ten years with improvements in that location
being phased with the possibility of beginning with making the street
one-way and removal of the 'tin outer rooms' of the buildings on that
street as part of an early phase.
Entrance signs
The Commission asked for a status report on the entrance signs to the
City. /111'
