(Continued) Director of Public Works David Young: pointed
out conflict of policies:
Resolution #5760 N.C - "To implement
Petaluma's Deveiopment.Policy, it is here-
by requested that Sonoms County's agricul-
tural zone-in Petaluma's Planning area be
designed for agricultural needs and that
residential subdivision or individual dwell_ -
ings not be permitted on small parcels,'
and "Petaluma will fully utilize its own
powers of utility extension.and an
to support its '.greenbelt policy in
its surround .ing hills and valleys.''
The Council's policy to permit,,connections
to four or less lots in the City is appli-
cable only for proper zoning; i.e.,, even
in the City a.residential building permit
would not be granted if the zoning did not
permit residential,development.
Mr. Young requested clarification for proper
implementation.
- Director o,f Planning McGivern urged the.Council
to consider annexing the entire subject area as
a solution to the problem for the Mt. View Ave-
nue- Purrington Road sector:
Following some discussion, it was decided to
modify. the - ; opinion to .the effect that in the
future any application,for water service out-
side of the City 1_imits.in an area designated
agricultural on Environmental Design Plan
which doe's not have City 'sewer service should
be referred to'the City Council for approval;
i.e.., any area such as the Mt. View Avenue-
Purrington Road section which presently has
City sewer service as well as City water mains
need not be referred back to the City Council
and that s;uchwater service applications will
be accepted.

ship in ABAG
tion;a resolution prepared at her request de-
termining that the C'ity.of Petaluma maintain
-its membership in the Association of Bay Area
Governments. She c.Ontiriued by saying that the
Sonoma County Board.of Supervisors authorized
its,Chairman to sign a Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement creating the North Coast Regional and
Devel°opment.Commisson, but that the Commission
has.'not been certified at this time to process
Federal applications for grants. Sonoma County
has joined the group, but its membership is.
clouded since the California Council on Inter-
governmental Relations'must approve a transfer
in regional boundaries. Mayor Putnam explained
that the purpose of,.submitting the proposed
legislation is to reaffirm the City's member-
ship in ABAG in order to be certain that the
City is amply protected with respect to its
pending Federal grants by being a member of a
certified agency.
Discussion followed,in which it was agr °eed that
the-City's pasi.tion is protected as a member of
ABAG until June 30, 1972, and at that time the
matter- can then be recons;idered.. A motion was
made..by Councilman Mattei,. seconded by Council-
