June 16, 1975
City Manager Robert -Meyer advised the .southern portion of McDowell Boulevard
had been in the same condition; however., with the growth in the area, the road
has been brought up to standard with the exception of a small portion. As
subdivisions are built, the public improvements become a part of the subdi-
vision agreement. He also reminded the Council another very large project is
proposed, that of widening Washington Street which will be financed under
other funds from the Federal government.
Mr. Andy Anderson,.President of the Petaluma Estates Mobile Home Park Associ-
ation, then spoke to the Council. Mr. Anderson stated the matter was orig-
inally brought before the Council in 1973 and then again in 1974, and now in
1975 they are bringing the matter to the Council's attention again. He
estimated there are over 1,200 residents in the area using the road daily with
an average of 800 to 1,000 cars traversing the road each day. He also indi-
cated he had taken an automobile count in a six - minute period this date
between 2:30 and 2:36 and counted 52 cars. Mr. Anderson did state the City
Street Division had been repairing the road for approximately two weeks to
fill some of the chuckholes and felt this was a waste of taxpayers' money
because it had to be repeated so often. He called to the Council's attention
there are.three mobile home parks in the area now and an additional one being
constructed.
City Manager Robert Meyer advised the Council the five -year capital outlay
project would be reviewed'and brought back to City Council as soon as the
Maintenance and Operation Budget is completed for the City, which would
probably be sometime in July. He also advised the members of the audience
they would be notified of the date the Council would hear the matter.
Another member of the audience, Mr. Sam Mostovoy,.urged the Council to give
serious consideration to reconstructing the road because school buses use the
'road 'constantly and it is too"d'angerous for transporting children. Mr. George
Ruddock said that only about one -third of the territory from East Washington
to Corona Road was in the City limits. He urged the Council to determine what
steps the County would take to continue the road through Redwood Highway.
Mr..Ruddock also advised the Council the County had spent a great deal of
money improving Stony Point Road from Pepper Road to Liberty Road where there
was very.little traffic and felt they should give greater consideration to
participation in improving McDowell Road where there was•a great deal of
traffic. Mr. Anderson again spoke to the Council advising that when traffic
has to be detoured from the Freeway, McDowell Boueevard North is used as a by-
pass.
No action was taken on the matter. The staff is to contact the County of
Sonoma and the Petaluma Estates Mobile Home Park Association and other mobile
home parks in the area ate to be notified of the hearing in July.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS
WATER POLLUTION City Attorney Matthew Hudson advised the Council the
CONTROL FACILITIES, contractor for the project, Granite Construction -, had
1972,PRO:7ECT -- AMEND approached the City Engineer through Y.T.O. and
IA GENERAL PROVISIONS Associates asking for change in the general provisions
RES X67003 NCS of the contract with the City. Presently the contract
provides that the City will retain an amount equal to
50% of the value of acceptable materials stored on the
job site, but not incorporated in the work. Granite Construction Company is
asking for relief from this provision to reduce the percentage to 10% and have
their payments equal to 90 %. Mr. Hudson further.advised 93% of the work is
completed on the project. He foresees no with the City Charter.
Director of Public Works David Young further commented stating the Envir-
onmental Protection Agency has'requested the change in projects already in
progress. In fact; they have asked where it would be legally possible,, to
reduce the retention on construction from 10% to 5 %; however, this request.
would conflict with the City's Charter. On the materials, however, reducing
the retention from 50% to 10% as stated by the City Attorney, would not be in
conflict with'the local law.
Upon conclusion of the discussion, Resolution #7003 N.C.S. approving amendment
to paragraph 1.06(1) of the general provisions re construction of the Water
Pollution Control Facilities, 1972, was introduced by Councilman Perry, seconded
by Councilman Daly, and approved by 7 affirmative votes.

f1 PROJECT, CONTINGENCY some difficulty had arisen with the construction of
FUND the McNear Park tennis courts and asked Mr.. Raymond,
the Director of Recreation, to give the.Council an
explanation. Mr. Raymond had been advised by Richard
Lieb, the architect, that an underground water problem had been en'c-ountered
during the excavation work by the It was thought by exposing the
area to sunlight about three weeks the problem might rectify'itself;
however, the land,is still not dried out and the contractor is unable to
proceed. Mr. Raymond explained that Mr'. Lieb was unable to be present at the
Council meeting tonight and the Council felt rather than go into detail on the
matter, they would prefer to wait until Mr. Lieb was able to appear and give a
detailed explanation. The total amount of the Contingency Fund being re-
quested is $4,255. The matter was asked to be put back on the Council
agenda June 23, 1975.

TO LAFCO RE SPHERES draft of a letter proposed to be forwarded to Dave 2
OF INFLUENCE Dorfman, the Director of the Local Agency Formation
Commission, regarding the standards for the evaluation
of "Spheres of Influence" and implementation of the
program. The City's letter, to be signed by the Mayor, endorses the proposed
standards and indicates they are in accordance with the philosophy and pro -
grams - of the City of Petaluma. The letter does ask, however, that implementation
of the program be coordinated with, but not totally dependent upon, the
County's "general plan and its various projections. Further, its the City's
feeling where local jurisdictions generated sufficient data to supplement
or supercede County information, this data should be used in the evaluation of
that jurisdiction's spheres of influence.
A motion was then made by Councilman Mattei, seconded by-Councilman Harberson,
and approved by 7 affirmative votes, directing the letter be forwarded to
LAFCO.
DEVELOPMENT ALLOTMENTS Senior Planner Dennis Boehlje reviewed the memorandum
PROGESS REPORT dated -June 11, 1975, directed to the City Council
RES #7004 NCS which authorized the development allotments awarded in
previous years. The memorandum_is on file with the

Magnolia Avenue for the.1972 -73 construction year. The eight multi - family
units on Grant Avenue awarded to Lyle Hood is in the process of being developed
and the applicant is waiting for issuance of a building permit and the depart-
ment is recommending retaining these eight units. The 87 multi - family units
on Keokuk awarded to Camille Enterprises, 51 of which were awarded to Camille
for 1973 -74 and 36 which were awarded to Forman for 1972 -73 and subsequently
transferred to Camille has had no action taken on the development and the
department is recommending-rescinding.: Mr. Boehl•je asked the Council to set a

multi- family units and Camille Enterprises on the 87 multi - family units.
Upon conclusion of Mr. Boehlje's presentation, Resolution 47004 N.C.S. setting
a hearing-date for the purpose of considering the rescinding of certain
housing allotments pursuant to Section VI.B of the Residential Development
Control System was introduced by Councilman Mattei, seconded by Councilman
Perry, and approved by 7 affirmative votes.
June 16, 1975
STATUS - -MT. VIEW
SUBDIVISION
The question was asked of City Attorney Matthew Hudson
what the status was on the View Subdivision. Mr.
Hudson replied no development has taken place in the
past four or five months. Mr. Hudson stated every
attempt'is being made have the bonding company
complete the project rather than.have them pay the
City and have the City complete it.
PARKING MANAGEMENT Mr. Frank Gray; Director of Community Development,
PLAN GUIDELINES indicated the request for cooperation by the City of
/ Petaluma in the preparation of the Parking Management
` Plan Guidelines was far less extensive than previously
reported at the June 2, 1975, Council meeting. In talking with the consultants,
Alan M. Voorhees and Associates, they have requested the City send them public
documents of the City in order that-they may prepare parking guidelines for a
typical city of 30,000 people. Some of the information they have asked for is
parking data, which has.already been prepared for the City. Mr. Gray indicated
the matter could be handled now at staff level.
SEWER REFUND City Attorney Matthew Hudson advised the Council he
AGREEMENT= -DEBRA had prepared - a resolution carrying out the recommendation
HOMES, INC. of the City Engineer and the City`Manager, which would
(WESTRIDGE) provide the waiver of sewer connection frees for the
RES 47005 NCS first 106 lots and a $5.83 charge per front foot for
the balance. In addition, some money has already been
paid by Debra which would be refunded to them'
to the extent they have paid on which the sewer are waived;. Mr. Hudson
further explained the agreement is a typical sewer refund agreement which 'the
City enters into.
Mr. George Tomasini, a resident'in the area, speaking for himself and for Mr.
Paul Dane, advised the Council they had given the right -of -way to the Westridge
Subdivision at no charge; whereas other property owners-in the area had
received• renumeration for the right -of -way. They had heard there was going to
be an assessment for the - difference in the size the pipeline, but Mr.
Tomasini indicated Mr. Trowbridge is forwarding a letter to both he and Mr.
Dane relieving them of any obligation for the difference in the size of the
pipeline. Mr. Trowbridge, representing Debra Homes, Inc., advised the Council
the matter.had been agreed upon.
Mr_ Robert Mackey, attorney representing residents in the area, expressed some
concern that in addition to Mr. Tomasini and Mr. Dane there may be other
residents in the area who were not aware of the meeting this evening and would
have no opportunity to respond. Mr. Trowbridge interjected saying that the
agreements between'Debra Homes and Mr.-Tomasini and Mr. Dane would be consumated.
'The agreements with other property owners in the area were private agreements
between the property owner and Debra Homes, Inc., and would be carried through
on an individual basis. Mr. Mackey asked that the City Council give serious
consideration to making certain 'the property owners had been properly reimbursed
by Condiotti Enterprises for the easements or right -of -ways before any transfers
are completed.
City Attorney Matt*Hudson advised that Mr. Condiotti can convey a clear
title to the easements, the City would not make any refund under the agreement.
City Manager Robert Meyer advised the Council that Mr. Condiotti has to give
the City clear title to all the easements before the City.will accept the
subdivision.
Mrs. Ted King of 1400 "1" Street Extension asked to.have the matter clarified
of how the charges would be applied to - property in the.area. Mr. Meyer
explained to -her the subdivider Mr. Condiotti, was - paying for the sewer line;
however, .the payback agreement provides for $5.83 a front foot from property
owners because of the oversized line in the area. Another member of the
audience to speak was Mr. Alvin Baldwin who indicated he had 19.0 foot frontage
on the line.. He has been desirous of being able to hook up to the City's
sewer system; however, he feels that the cost involved would be financially
impossible.

APPEAL--EIR ground on the appeal by-Mt. Carmody to the Planning
REQUIREMENT -- Commission's requirement for an EIR. The Commission.
D STREET PLAZA wanted two items checked into and one would be the
RES X67007 NCS traffic to have a.traff is report prepared in detail by
a disinterested third party; the second point they
wanted explored was one of social cost to the City
with..regard to. the sale of alcoholic beverages- -not in the moral issue, but
addressing the matter to the social concern of the City- -for instance, children
in the park and the fiscal impact drinking in the area would have in regard to
policing the park and park maintenance.
