John Cheney, Public Member
Joint HCPC/Planning Commission Meeting of March 25, 2014 Page 4
Mr. Cheney believes that this structure should be torn down. There are barrels with potentially
hazardous materials that need to be dealt with now. On the property behind the house there
used to be a family cemetery with grave stones and is currently a shooting range. Homeless
people currently live there. It has deteriorated over time.
Scott Braun, Public Member
Mr. Braun was involved with the Central Petaluma specific plan and is a Rebuild Together
member. He believes there is a higher use for this property. He believes this is a stunning piece
of property and has taken pictures. He believes that the house was built between 1905 and
1924 and feels that there is nothing wrong with the house, just has homeless living there. He
suggests using Rebuild Together to rebuild the house. He proposes COTS be given the money to
rehabilitate the site. He has done research on the internet for the wood that was used for
building house.
