Gary Schindler, Petaluma resident, is not opposed to the project, but opposed to the high
density and the traffic it generates. He is concerned with safety of children who live in the
adjacent neighborhoods. A possible solution would be to make the street wider. He feels that
the tandem parking is also an issue because people tend to park in the streets. He would also
like to see more single homes.
Djorn Greipenburg, Bicycle Advisory Committee member, stated that a key goal for Corona
Road Station and Petaluma TOD master plan is improved connectivity. He stated that in the
proposal there is no connection to SMART and feels that a private /public partnership would
benefit all parties involved and that a more direct crossing should be pursued.

Paula Butterworth, owner of 5 parcels within the annexation proposal, is resentful about being
forced into this annexation. Her properties have been in her family for over 80 years and the
costs that will be incurred which will be a huge expense.
Jason Osborne, property owner within the proposal, stated that his family is excited about
getting City services. He noted that it would nice to someday see sidewalks on the south side of
Quarry Heights to allow additional traffic calming since there was a recent change to raise the
Joint HCPC and Planning Commission Meeting of November 8, 2016 Page 11
speed limit. He had a question regarding the condition of hooking up to sewer within 10 years
and if there was an abatement to the costs.
