Re: Rockridge Pointe — Corrections to Conditions of.Approval'
Dear Mr. Mayor and Councilmembers,
We have reviewed the staff report prepared for the March 3, 20,03 City Council hearing and are
in full agreement with Staff's analysis and' the.reconuriendations from the Planning Commission.
Based an past discussions with the'Plartning Commission and 'staffwe respectfully:request,
however, that at the hearing you incorporate the following changes to Attachment 12, Resolution
Approving the Vesting Tentative _Map:.
1. The title of the Resolution 'and all other references within the Resolution should state that
the approval is for a Tentative Subdivision Map.
2. Engineering Condition number 19 should be revised to require :installation of the
sidewalk on the southwesteriy side of Windsor Drive.
This request,is made fo avoid substantial retaining walls and.grading in proximity to the
tributary that runs along Windsor Drive on. the northeasterly side of the street. All other
Is improvements to the Roundabout, crosswalks, bike lane and curb /gutter will be installed
per the language of'thc�condition.
3. Engineering Condition number 20 should be deleted. As discussed at the Planning
Commission meeting, Western,Avenue along the project;frontage is under the jurisdiction
of the County of.Sonoma.
4. Conditions 9.1,.92,'93; 94,103, and 10 should be deleted. Some of these conditions
conflict with the discussion,and action by the Planning: Commission and others we have
consistently requested be. removed.
We believe that every effort has been made to meet both the intent and the spirit of the Petaluma
General Plan and applicable development.regutations. In addition, we believe we have
appropriately addressed concerns raised at the April, September and October Planning
Commission meetings of last'year.
Mardel respectfully requests the City Council accept the suggested revisions above.
