AGENDA REPORT
FOR
RESOLUTION ALLOWING A NON-RESIDENTIAL OUTSIDE SANITARY SEWER SERVICE FOR THE DUTRA
TEMPORARY ASPHALT PLANT AT 1600 PETALUMA BOULEVARD SOUTH (APN 019-210-010,038,039)
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Due to the Lomas development on the existing Dutra asphalt plant site and the lack of a permanent plant
site, the asphalt plant is relocating temporarily to the Lomas site between the Petaluma River and
Petaluma Boulevard South. The applicant is requesting a temporary sanitary sewer connection until the
permanent site (approximately one half mile south on Petaluma Boulevard) is approved by Sonoma
County.
2. BACKGROUND:
The existing Dutra asphalt plant is moving due to the Lomas development of the quarry site. Lomas is
allowing Dutra to temporarily occupy their lower parcel between the Petaluma River and Petaluma
Boulevard. The temporary location will continue to provide an asphalt plant for southern Sonoma
County as well as the City of Petaluma until the permanent location is approved by the County.
Sonoma County has issued a use permit to allow the plant to locate and operate at the Lomas site
between Petaluma Boulevard and Petaluma River. As a condition of the use pen -nit, the County required
the applicant (Dutra) to demonstrate adequate sanitary sewer service. The County required a class A
modern system or connection to the City sanitary sewer even though the site is temporary. According to
CSW/Stuber-Streoh, the historic fill in the area and proximity to the river would not likely support a
septic system. As a result, a connection to the City sanitary sewer system would meet the County
requirement for adequate sanitary sewer service. The permanent location of the asphalt plant
(approximately one half mile south on Petaluma Boulevard) is currently under review with the County.
City of Petaluma Resolution No. 89-68 establishes policies for sewer service outside the City limits. The
subject property meets the initial criteria for outside sewer service because it lies outside the City limits
and within the adopted sphere of influence (Urban Growth Boundary). However, because the existing
use is non-residential, Resolution 89-68 requires that this application receive City Council approval.
The sewage generated, from the proposed single toilet and sink bathroom, will be pumped from the site
through a private force main and connect to the existing force main serving the COTS facility. Staff will
recommend that the Dutra asphalt plant assume the maintenance responsibility of the COTS force main
during the duration of plant's operation. Ultimately, the Lomas development will be constructing a
gravity sewer main along Petaluma Boulevard South and the force main from the asphalt plant and
COTS will be eliminated.
According to the use permit issued by Sonoma County, the operation of the temporary asphalt plant
shall not exceed a period of three (3) years. As a condition of approval for the outside sanitary sewer
connection, City staff also recommends that the connection be terminated after three (3) years, to be
consistent with the County use permit. It is also important to note that according to Resolution 89-68,
any change in use not specifically approved by the City shall be cause for discontinuance of service.
�i
3. ALTERNATIVES:
Deny the outside sanitary sewer request or require additional conditions of approval.
4. FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
N/A
5. CONCLUSION:
This applicant meets the criteria for outside sewer service and is requesting approval from the City
Council as required by Resolution 89-68. With the conditions recommended in the resolution approving
the sewer connection, staff takes no exception to the subject outside sewer service.
6. OUTCOMES OR PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS THAT WILL IDENTIFY SUCCESS OR COMPLETION:
N/A
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve resolution allowing outside sewer service to the temporary Dutra asphalt plant at 1600
Petaluma Boulevard South (APN 019-210-010, 038, 039).

1) Immediately upon discovery of archaeological resources, the shift foreman or manager at the
project site should be notified and shall notify Sonoma County Permit and Resource
Management Department of the discovery. The Permit and Resource Management
Department should notify the North West Information Center (NW IC) and Ya-Ka-Ama. If the
discovery occurs during ground disturbance activities, all work should be halted in the
immediate vicinity of the find until the County's archaeological and Native American
consultants have evaluated the find and mitigated associated impacts. Discovered cultural
resources should be stored in a protected environment to prevent vandalism, damage, or
theft, until such time as they are examined by an archaeologist and Native American, as
appropriate.
2) The identification and handling of archaeological resources at the project should be
conducted by qualified archaeologists or Native American representatives (approved by the
local Native American community as scholars of their cultural traditions) when native
American archaeological, ethnographic, or spiritual resources are involved. If no approved
Native American representative is available, persons who represent tribal governments and/or
organizations in the Middle Reach of the Russian River should be consulted.
3) All Native American artifacts discovered during reclamation should be returned to the Native
American community through the Ya-Ka-Ama Indian Education Center, which will be
responsible for the disposition of these materials. Arrangements for study of these materials
by the archaeological community, prior to final disposition, should be developed by the
County's archaeological consultants and Ya-Ka-Ama. These arrangements should include
time frames for archaeological study and mechanisms for transporting materials to Ya-Ka-
Ama.
4) If human bone or bone of unknown origin were found during reclamation activities, all work

49. The applicant's Storm Water Management Plan for the proposed project shall be reviewed and
approved by the Sonoma County PRMD prior to the issuance of grading and building permits.
Mitigation Monitoring: All storm water improvements shall be shown on the grading plans. The
operational use permit certificate shall not be issued prior to installation of these improvements.
50. The relocated asphalt plant shall comply with the following mitigation measures as described in
the noise consultant's report:
1 } Burner — The open end of the burner shall be surrounded by a complete enclosure
constructed of prefabricated panels. The panels shall be steel with sound absorptive
material on the inside. For the burner enclosure, the sound absorptive material shall be
rated for high temperatures. There shall be an intake for combustion air. This intake
shall be fitted with an industrial ventilation silencer, also rated for high temperature. The
combustion air blower shall be located inside the enclosure. Based on a design
submitted by the noise control equipment vendor, Phoenix -E, the enclosure would provide
a reduction in burner and related noise by approximately 25 dBA.
2) Baghouse Exhaust — The discharge stack shall be fitted with an industrial silencer. The
silencer shall be located at the bottom of the stack, just above the baghouse fan. The
sound absorptive material within the silencer shall be rated for high temperature and be
encased in stainless steel mesh. Based on data for a 7 -foot long, low-pressure drop
silencer provided by Phoenix -E, this treatment would reduce the baghouse exhaust stack
noise by approximately 13 dBA.
3) As shown on project site plans, the stockpile along the western edge of the site shall be
maintained at a height of 24 feet for the duration of the Use Permit to provide noise
reduction.
4) Front-end loaders shall be equipped with proximity sensors acceptable to OSHA and
Cal/OSHA so that backup beepers only sound when necessary.
Mitigation Monitoring: PRMD staff shall review and approve the specifications for the burner
and baghouse noise reduction measures prior to issuance of building permits for the project and
verify via inspection that proper backup warning systems are being employed.
51. Any proposed modification, alteration, and/or expansion of the use authorized by this Use Permit shall
require the prior review and approval of the Permit and Resource Management Department or the
Board of Zoning Adjustments, as appropriate. Such changes may require a new or modified Use
Permit and additional environmental review.
52. This permit shall be subject to revocation or modification by the Board of Zoning Adjustments if:
(a) the Board finds that there has been noncompliance with any of the conditions or (b) the Board
finds that the use for which this permit is hereby granted constitutes a nuisance. Any such
revocation shall be preceded by a public hearing noticed and heard pursuant to Section 26-92-120
and 26-92-140 of the Sonoma County Code.
In any case where a Use Permit has not been used within two (2) year after the date of the
granting thereof, or for such additional period as may be specified in the permit, such permit shall
become automatically void and of no further effect, provided however, that upon written request by
the applicant prior to the expiration of the two year period the permit approval may be extended for
not more than one (1) year by the authority which granted the original permit pursuant to Section
26-92-130 of the Sonoma County Code.

service may be provided at the discretion of the City Council where
existing conditions are an immediate threat to the health and welfare in
areas outside of the City's Sphere of Influence.
WHEREAS, by offering such opportunities it remains the City's policy to: 1)
oppose urban development in unincorporated areas, 2) limit premature
parcelization and development of agricultural lands, 3) offer sewer service
as a means of meeting immediate human health needs rather than providing
a convenience for future parcelization or development outside of the
corporate limits; and,
WHEREAS, certain areas have been identified as urban service areas on the
City's adopted sphere of influence, wherein the provision of sewer service
for less than urban densities is currently provided or will likely be
provided, which are not planned as potential annexation areas.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
I. Applications for outside sewer service shall be considered and may be
approved only when the following circumstances exist:
A. AREAS WITHIN THE ADOPTED SPHERE OF INFLUENCE
1. The sewer service is to be used: 1) for dwellings in
existence on the date of adoption of this resolution 2), for
one principal dwelling and up to one accessory "granny" unit
approved for construction on parcels created prior to the
I
Res.
N.. -R775.9.8....... NCS. 10
date of adoption of this resolution, or 3) for non-residential
uses only upon the approval of the City Council.
2. The sewer service is for residential purposes unless
otherwise specifically approved by the City Council.
3. The sewer main from which service is to be derived is in
place and of sufficient capacity to accommodate the requested
service. If deemed necessary by the City Engineer, a sewer
main to serve the property must be constructed to standards
acceptable to the City of Petaluma and dedicated to the City
for public use.
B. AREAS OUTSIDE OF THE ADOPTED SPHERE OF INFLUENCE
1. A clear health hazard exists.
2. Need is demonstrated by evidence of contamination clearly
stated in a letter from County Health Department with
documentation by an independent laboratory and/or civil
engineer whichever is deemed appropriate by City staff.
3. Service may be provided to dwellings or non-residential land
uses in existence on the date of the adoption of this
resolution or for dwellings for which building permits have
been issued prior to the date of adoption of this resolution
or for non-residential uses but only upon the approval of
the City Council.
4. The sewer main from which service is to be derived is in
place and of sufficient capacity to accommodate the requested
service. If deemed necessary by the City Engineer, a sewer
main to serve the property must be constructed to standards
acceptable to the City of Petaluma and dedicated to the City
for public use.

II. Applications for outside sewer service within the sphere of influence
shall be reviewed and conditionally approved or denied by the City
Engineer and the Director of Community Development and Planning in
accord with the policies and conditions herein set forth.
III. For areas outside the sphere of influence where a clear health hazard
exists, requests shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the City
Council.
IV. Every outside sewer service approval shall be subject to the following
conditions and any other conditions the City Engineer and Director of
Community Development and Planning deem necessary to protect and
promote the interests of the City of Petaluma. Said conditions shall be
implemented or complied with by the applicant, to the satisfaction of
City staff prior to initiation of service.
1. For properties within the sphere of influence, annexation impact
fees, as established by the City Council, shall be paid prior to
the initiation of the sewer service and where it is deemed by the
City Engineer and Engineering and the Community Development
and Planning Director that immediate annexation is feasible,
annexation shall become a condition of approval.
2. Any unauthorized extension of service for use not specifically
approved by the City, e.g. a second dwelling, shall be cause for
the discontinuance of service.
3. "Outside" rate to be established by City Council resolution, which
reflects the current rate for service as per Petaluma Municipal
Code and an additional fee for service outside City limits to the
extent permitted by law.
4. An agreement shall be executed between the property owner and
the City, to run with the land, which commits present and future
property owners to the construction of, or payment for frontage
improvements (i.e., one-half street, curb, gutter, sidewalk,

water lines for domestic use and fire protection, sewer and storm
drainage facilities to City Standards), at the option of the City at
such time as the property is subdivided, annexed or abutting
properties construct similar improvements. Dedication of
right-of-way for public streets or easements for utilities may be
required.
5. Sewer service requested for lands lying within the sphere of
influence proposed for subdivision must meet City Development
Standards and have direct abutting access to an improved public
street designed to meet City Standards.

RE: HAYSTACK, DUTRA, PETALUMA: TEMPORARY A.C. PLANT
Dear Craig:
On behalf of the Dutra Group, we are submitting an application for an outside -of -District sewer
connection for the temporary asphalt plant at 1600 Petaluma Boulevard South. As we have
discussed, this plant will provide an interim local asphalt plant for the City of Petaluma as well as
southern Sonoma County. The plant will be in operation for possibly as long as two seasons while
the CEQA document is completed and all entitlements are obtained for the construction of the
permanent asphalt plant at Haystack, approximately one half mile south on Petaluma Boulevard.
As you may be aware, the current plant operates with a single bathroom in the scale house. This
bathroom is connected to an existing septic system for which there are few records. As a Condition
of Approval for the Sonoma County Use Permit that we obtained in July 2005, we are required to
demonstrate that we have adequate sanitary sewer service. Although the existing septic tank was
tested and passed, showing that current flows from the single bathroom are apparently adequately
discharged through the septic tank and leach field, the County of Sonoma Department of Health
Services is insisting that we upgrade the system to a Class A modern system, even though the site
is temporary.
We have had a number of discussions with representatives from the Department of Health Services
to explore other possibilities as well. These other possibilities include a large holding tank which
would be pumped out on a regular basis and the use of Porta -Potties as well as the use of the existing
system. Department of Health Services has been adamant that we either upgrade to Class A system
or connect to a sanitary sewer. Given the historic fill on the south side of Petaluma Boulevard, it is
unlikely, ifnot impossible, that the Department of Health Services would approve any kind of system
on the south property.
As a result, we are requesting the City of Petaluma accept this application for an outside -of -District
service to the City's sanitary sewer system. We would expect to place a force main along Petaluma

Boulevard South to connect to the existing 4 -inch force main at the "Cots" facility which is the
current last user on the system. We would connect to the existing 4 -inch force main at that facility,
meeting all the criteria required by the City Department of Water Resources.
We appreciate your help in processing this application. If you have any questions, please feel free
to contact me.
Sincerely,
