that the SEIR ,is not adequate, there is no requirement for a resolution. However, the Council should
specfcally state the reasons why the document is inadequate.: If the FSEIR is certified, the Council should
set a date for the public.,hearing on the project merits. If the FSE1R is not certified there is no need for a
publiclearing on the project at this time.

SEK finding that the document has'been completed in compliance with focal and state requirements, that
the information within the EIR has :been considered prior to any action on the project, and that the final
SEIR reflects the lead agency's independent judgment and analysis.

Subject: Expansion, flooding and traffic
Dear Commissioners,
Thank you for the ;'invitations to attend the it ortant.meetings on the expansion of'the
outlet mall, :other retail •expansion and traffic concerns. Although I have not been able
to attend the meetings I ;do have some serious concerns.
EXPANSION and FLOODING,:
I live at ,9 Payran, by the river and -the bridge I would hope that no expansion or
project be executed unless the integrity aiidsafety of the Payran.properties is strictly
protected. To put us in danger -of flooding again, after all;the.effort of.the previous
councils to obtain the funding and execute`a serious flood abatement project would be
morally as- well as legally and economically irre'sponsib'le.
TRAFFIC:
I realize a growing city wild mean growing traffic. Nevertheless, in none of th_e
traffic commentaries .I have seen has there been-any mention �
of Payran Street .,between- the river bridge and E. Washington -.
In itself Payran, i a :desirable short cut between the boulevard and E.. Washington
and the freeway..
At present, with the Lakeville bridge detour, it has become an
incredible busy and dangerous th-orough"fare.
Double trailer f:eed� trucks and other heavy truck traffic use it consistently.
Although it, is a residential street, traffic moves along is with freeway
speed.
Police cars use it for quick access to the east side. (understandably)
Irresponsible drivers come over `the bridge at speedway momentum to "catch
air ", often with'ca, stereos blasting at top volume.
To back out ofmy driveway is a dangerous , dif:ficult, and delayed procedure.
And while 'other streets .are scheduled for re- paving„ this section of Payran
is being further torn up with no mention in the paving schedules I have seen..
With a Rainer or Corona :crossing, I anticipate further use of this neighborhood street as
a speedway, especially if the Kennelworth property becomes a -major •retail destination.
How are these issues; being addressed in the plannin,V
What can be done to ensure safety and appropriate traffic use of. Payran.b'etwe'en the
boulevard and' E . Washington? •
I appreciate the work of the city .leaders, in supporting our Petaluma communities; the time
and.effort and energy it requires is heroic!'
I realize there are no simple solutions, so I add my concerns to the puzzle pieces with
which you are already working.
Sincerely,
Lourdes (.Mary G.)'Thuesen
