Amanda Giacomini, family home on Wilson Street requested changes to the proposal. She was
concerned about the loss of view created by the Burdell building and obstruction of
sunlight. She feels there would be a loss of privacy and noise due to the building height. She
stated that the current designs feel unattractive and would like to see a design more suitable
for historical neighborhood.
Nicholas Giacomini, family home on Wilson Street. He believes that the Burdell building is
beautiful and would hate to see a proposed project that will create more traffic, noise and
chaos on D Street.
Marina Beebe, Petaluma resident, stated that after looking at the back view of condos, she
believes the project is a fusion between a motel and a prison.
