Subject: Safeway Fuel Center in Petaluma
Hello
I am writing in regards to the fuel center being planned for construction in the Safeway parking lot. I was not able to
attend the city meeting due to previous commitment but I would like to voice my opposition to this plan. The area is
already frequently congested with traffic and the addition of large gas complex next to a preschool and residential
housing is just plain thoughtless and heartless on the city planning's part. I am not against putting in a gas complex but
not in that location where people's homes, children's health, and the already prominent traffic issues in Petaluma will be
adversely affected.
Thank you for your time

Subject: gas station
Dear Planning Commission,
write to voice my strong -objection to the proposed Safeway gas station project at South McDowell and Maria Drive.
That location sits amidst single family neighborhoods, well -kept apartment complexes, baseball fields, parks, and
multiple schools, including McDowell Elementary and two licensed preschool centers: 4Cs Petaluma Child
Development Center, and North Bay Children's Center. A gas station at this site would be detrimental to the
walkability and ever-growing "neighborhood" spirit of this community. it would also have a negative impact on air
and soil quality, which is absolutely unacceptable given the presence of the schools; all of which have gardening
and outside learning as pillars of their curriculum.
I am a parent to a child in attendance at 4Cs Petaluma Child Development Center. I speak for the many parents
there who do not feel safe making their opinions known when I say that a gas station is dangerous and unsuitable at
this site. I implore you to consider the experience and health of children, families and educators living, working and
learning at South McDowell and Maria Drive and to vote NO on this project.
Please do the right thing. Vote NO.

VOTE NO to BOTH. There is too much multiple unit development in the same
neighborhood. Traffic, Fire, Schools, and medical emergency is all compromised. Look at what
happened with developer of the multiple unit complex on Baywood and Lakeville. With impunity the
developer reached outside the permit and destroyed a neighborhood for their own gain. All those
mature oaks gone. We , the citizens who live in this neighborhood do not need the impact of hugely
escalating traffic that gas stations and more and more multi units brings. STOP this greed fest and let
Petaluma be a sustainable community , not another Walnut Creek corridor with the loss of community
that entails. Do your job and be responsive to the citizens not the out of town money interests. NO
Safeway gas here.. Petalumans don't need it. Bigger is worse, not better.

Dear Planning Committee,
Please vote No on Safeway gas station, the location is too close to schools and homes for so many idling cars and
exhaust fumes. I have been to Safeway gas at the shopping center at Hamilton and there is always a long line up of cars
there and it is not a desirable situation for our community!! Furthermore, it would cause further traffic issues for the
already horrible intersection of McDowell and Washington. As a Petaluma East Side resident dealing with that traffic
nightmare at least 5 evenings a week, I'm pretty certain that alone makes the Safeway gas location a poor choice.
Thank you in advance,
