TEXT OF PRESENTATION TO PETALUMA CITY COUNCIL ON 01/16/01 Request to include Magnolia Park along with McNear Peninsula in seeking funds for acquisition of these lands from the Sonoma County Open Space and Agricultural District. Submitted by: The Committee for A Nature Park Speaker: Bill Phillips 766-8694 Good evening Mayor'Tfioitipson,and,Council Members. I am Bill Phillips residing at 824 Blossom Court. Blossom Court is up in the hills of Northwest;Petaluma where all the water drains into the Payran floodplain. Members of the Committee For A.Nature Park are handing you the text of this presentation along with its Appendix of supporting material. Some of the Coritmittee and its' supporters are seated as a group to your left front by the"Magnolia Throat"picture display. There are more than three who wish to speak on this topic. So under the rules, I am their spokesperson and requests minutes. Tonight along with this delegation from the neighborhood, we request the Council add Magnolia Park, located at 1120 Magnolia Avenue,to McNear Peninsula in seeking funds from the Sonoma County open • Space and Agricultural District. It should be borne in mind at the outset thatthis tract,developed as a Rural Park ,will serve Petaluma and County residents alike. The justification of this request-is embedded imthe sanctity of our present,General Plan. It is interesting to observe at this point that during the political campaign the General Plan.was cited as authority to go forward on the Rainer Overpass. There were ads:.in local papers citing the General Plan in connection with Magnolia Park. This certainly indicates that citizens regard the General Plan as our Town's Mission Statement. General Plan requirements for open -space are sourced in the Sate of California Government Codes. Turn to pages l A&2A in the Appendix for Codes numbered 65561,65562&65567. Key portions are hi- lighted. To save time, I'll summarize: The primary purpose of these Codes is to assure that'Cities and Counties recognize that open-space land is a limited and valuable resource,which must be conserved wherever possible and'to discourage premature and unnecessary conversions of open-space'land•to urban uses. Thus, building,permits and zoning ordinances that are inconsistent with the open-space plan are specifically forbidden. Now please turn to page 3A in your Appendix. Following the dictates of the'State Government Codes for open -space,you'll see excerpts from the General Plan. Please notice with particular significance that McNear Peninsula and the Eucalyptus Grove west of Cypress Hills Cemetery are both specified as sites where parks should be developed. Overall the Magnolia site is the most strongly recommended. The next Appendix page, 4A, is truly a picture of history repeating itself. We,just as our forebears,cut down trees for our own purpose. In our case it was in spite of the General Plan sanctions. The last prominent grove of trees is gone. The next page in Appendix,5A, is,excerpts.from the June 15, 1998 Council Meeting confirming how Madam Mayor Hillgoss"forgbr to apply for Magnolia,Park funds,from the Sonoma Open Space District. Obviously we further losefocus on Magnolia Park when your immediate preceding Council allotted one residence unit'for 2001 to Mission Valley Properties,of Ca. The next Appendix page, 6A, is the preliminary site plan. It shows 30 homes crowded on 7 acres: This is due to the nature of the terrain. As the elevation lines show,the north end is a deep drainage gorge feeding into Jessie Lane. The eastern hill faces the.Cemetery;'and thereis suspected burials along the side: You will also note the developer's plan includes 18 custom homes on an adjacent tract,which is now a chicken ranch. The unused land is to be given-to the city as a passive park. The next Appendix Unit, page-7A,is a seven-page response to the proposal from our Planning Department. You can study it later but I will tell you that the Senior Planner ranked this project one of the most complicated she had ever worked on. 2 • Mr. Steve Arago,who is a,Park Commissioner, is,the Applicant on this Project. He has been assisting Mr. Dan Aguilar of Mission Valley Properties, attending Council;Meetings,presentations to the public, and contact with the Planning Department, This deep involvement of a Park Commissioner with a developer seems highly inappropriate to our Committee. In February 2000, I wrote to Mr. Arago following meeting him at a Park Commission meeting. For Mr. Arago's benefit,that letter*,page 8A in your Appendix, was aimed at re-addressing the opportunities of the entire,tract becoming a park. At a public meeting in May 2000,Mission Valley explained their proposal to residents. In spite of the very public fight residents had made to save the trees.and the park, Mr. Arago suggested a soccer field along with the 30 homes proposed. Residents'quicklyrejected this as part of the proposal knowing it would be unsuitable to the terrain plus the fact that one is already available at the Cherry Valley School. *Note of Explanation The letter to Mr.McNear enclosed in the letter to Mr:Arago plus a second letter to Mr.McNear are both included as Appendix pages 8A for reader's benefit and clarity..Also pictures of "Magnolia Throat"is displayed here tonight and can be examined during the break or later. Now to summarize. We've refreshed°in-minds on the California Codes and on our unfulfilled missions in the General Plan. This is in addition:to the fact that asignificant body of citizens have and will continue to fight for Magnolia as a?ark.'Considering all these factors, isn't it time to pursue the full.Park option? We could have an incredible low cost Park offering off-road mountain bike trails,walking trails, Bocce courts and a quiet pond in woods(even the cutters couldn't reach 1/5 of the trees due to swampy area at the north end of the parcel):There could also be a challenging lateral,mountain climber's practice wall. These are just a few possible Park facilities for seniors and teens nowhere else available. Considering the preceding facts; it seernslthere are both legal and moral reasons to add funds needed for Magnolia Park to the fund request for McNear Peninsula. This request is due by 2/28/01. Unless Petaluma annexes the land County Zoning calls for 1 house per 2 acres. Therefore with only 8 acres suitable for building,the land'value of the property is only 4 houses. Since this property is represented by,Nexus Realty, we request Councilman Moyniham be allowed to recuse himself from participation as he said he would during the election campaign. Please recognize this last best chance to benefit City and County residents. Request the funds for Magnolia Park. Thank you. I will be available at the break and later for questions.

I have discussed this project with Sonoma County 11 Agricultural and Open Space District. It is unfortunate that the ay of 12 Petaluma,did not contact the Open Space District requesting purchase 13 of this parcel 14 15 I haven't come here and taken your time about anything.else, but there was a 17 acre forest 16 the base of the hill where I live. It kept my property value up, it was a place for children 17 play, it was a habitat. It has been clear cut during nesting season and I'm hearing about tl 18 EIR and all this stuff that has to get done so we can walk on our own property. I see t 19 second largest forest;left.in the Petaluma area clear cut and they didn't go through any prose: 20 It's truly offensive to me, My understanding was that when this came up on April 20, 199 21 the City Council turned down development at that site because it was a proposed park site 22 the General Plan and Madam-Mayor was requested as our representative on the Open'Spa 23 District to go there and work with the Open Space"District and see what could be done. T 24 response that I got from the Open Space District when 'I'called them, the response i got fro 25 Harberson, 'this letterand all the people in mS' neighborhood is that there never was a'conp 26 from the city" Maybe that's not right and if it's not right I would be happy to hear otherwi< 27 but I'm fromTèxas.and you get shot when you get on private property. I only walked in Li 28 place once when there were some children who really wanted to go, but lots of children grt 29 up using that land and they have gotten tp see it dear cut. They've gotten to see the de 30 wandering in a daze, there's no contiguous place for them or for any of the other animals 31 have gone to. I'm from a barbaric part of rural'north-east Texas, but even there when they 32 clear cut, they don't clear cut"during nesting season. That was not followed here. This is jt 33 another example of absolutely no dialogue between the people who have the money and t 34 people that live in this environment. It's just profoundly sad and it points up how critica: 35 important it is to protect the few areas of wilderness,and open space that we own and that 36 have access to because you can wake up and their clear cutting it And then you suddenly fi 37 out that the people that are clear cutting it know all the legal angles and no matter who y 38 call; what laws you point to, they've already gone through it before and their professionals 39 it I trusted that it was going to be looked after in the public domain. I understood that tl 40 was the call from the council to work with the Open Space District and now there's a cit 41 cut.

The following recommendations were received from the Petaluma Bicycle Advisory Committee. Because the 17-acre parcel currently outside the city limits is designated a park in the Petaluma Bicycle Plan and in the General Plan, as well as being along potential Urban Separator land. The Petaluma Bicycle Advisory Committee does not support a low-density residential development for this site at this time However, if the project is to be considered by the City, the PBAC recommends the following: 1. The owner should enact the three General Plan and Bicycle Map Class I bicycle/pedestrian paths of the 17 acre parcel: a. Build a Class I bicycle/pedestrian,path which connects through the Cemetery to.Eddie Court b. Build a Class I bicycle/pedestrian path which traverses from Magnolia to the far end of the property for a future connection between Magnolia to Jesse Lane. c. Utilize existing paths as much'as:.possible. d. Build a Class I bicycle/pedestrian path between the western edge of the 17 acre,parcel property and the eastern edge of the 7.4 acre property, for a connection through the chicken ranch portion of Magnolia Park to Samuel Drive, thus allowing a future connectiOnbetween Samuel;Drive and Jesse Lane. • 5 2. The owner shall provide lighting for bikeways, landscaping and buildings in the entire Magnolia Park development which is pointed downward with light bulbs well-covered to avoid direct glare into the eyes of pedestrians and bicyclists. • 3. The owner shall provide public benches at regular intervals along all Class I paths in this development. 4. The owner shall build a "highly visible" crosswalk from the 17-acre parcel across Magnolia to Elm to facilitate access to Cherry Valley School. 5 The owner shall build a Class II bicycle lane on the north side of Magnolia from Samuel Drive to the east end of the 17-acre parcel. 6. The owner shall sign a Class III bicycle route along Samuel between Magnolia and the end of Samuel for future connection to Jesse Lane. 7. The owner shall provide a bicycle/pedestrian access easement connecting the cul-de-sac at the end of Samuel to Gossage. S. Any pesticide/herbicide use in areas used by pedestrians/bicyclists in this project should be"signed, a policy currently employed by the Petaluma Music Recreation and Parks Department. 9. This project shall utilize Best Management Practices regarding pesticide/herbicide use and fully commit'to Integrated Pest Management • techniques for the,protection of bicyclists:and pedestrians. In addition, at the cofntriunity meeting held on this proposal in May of this year, attendees signed in. At the City Council meeting of August 21, the. Council requested that this list be obtained by City staff to ensure notification of all interested parties. Please include this list with your revised submittal. The project was also referred to the Army Corps of Engineers and the State Departnient of Fish and Game as well as other City Departments. No response has been received from these agencies or from certain City departments as of the writing of this letter. Additional information may be required once these responses are-received. You may wish to contact these agencies and departments directly (Jim Can, Director of Parks and Recreation 7784380, regarding the proposal to' dedicate lands as park/open space, and Mike Evert, Engineering Manager- 778-4303, for comments on the traffic study). 6 r If you would like to meet with City staff after, reviewing the above, please contact me or Irene Borba, Senior Planner, at (707) 778-4301 for an appointment. , Sincerely, Betsi Lewitter Project Planner Attachments: Zoning Ordinance Articles 19A and 19.1 Municipal Code Sections 20.28.020 and 20'.18.030 Environmental Information Questionnaire. c: Dan Aguilar, Mission Valley Properties, 5000 Holiyard Road, Suite 170.

Mr. Steve Arago 1140 Daniel Drive Petaluma, Calif. 94954 Dear Steve, First, I want to thank you for the effort and energy you put into the plan for part of this parcel to be set aside as'a park. Certainly the sad state of the city's finances leaves little room for other'than making the best of a bad situation. Putting this condition aside for a,moment, a number of residents in this area realize Petaluma will develop to the north and west (along with other directions as well). The engine driving this,growth is the variety of•new businesses setting up facilities here. Fortunately for all of us many are high tech and high pay so housing needs will be a cross section of costs. This is where a more detailed view of how land, including parks, can best be developed to meet the conditions we'll have 20 years from.now Many of us feel these development needs will be better assessed by the city's move to employ a professional group to help develop a really good plan, rather than the piecemeal mode we've been in. • The letter I promised is enclosed. Let's hope the McNear interests will recognize the complexities of the road networks, existent schools and drainage problems in this hilly area and make a favorable response. Then we can get to work with the long range planning°folks and money sources. Again, thanks for your earlier efforts to get some parkland in this area. Cordially, End. - letter to McNear TTEE GA • William R. Phillips 824 Blossom Court Petaluma, Ca. 94952 February 8, 2000 Mr. Robert S. Thomas TTEE. 15 Mountain View Avenue San Rafael, Ca. 94901 Re: Magnolia Parcel 17.05 acres Dear Mr. Thomas: Before reading further; please read the enclosed article from the Arqus Courier. It appeared in the paper shortly after I spoke to you about}working out an arrangement that would satisfy'all interests in the Magnolia Parcel. It is in this combination of "canny" business and "philanthropy "attributed to George P. McNeal-that the interested parties wish to develop activity that would materialize the Petaluma City Park now shown in the=City General plan for the Magnolia Parcel. The barrier to any further:high.density housing on your parcel is Magnollia Avenue. The word Avenue suggests abroad roadway which Magnolia is not Rather there are;sidewalks•on`the south side only;some are makeshift, some are unpaved,and in some parts there are none; parts are!seriously constricted by telephone poles requiring pedestrians , including school children and bicyclists to enter the road at its narrowest points; and partsare constricted by vegetation encroaching on the right of way or blind corners. The west side of the Petaluma Blvd.N /Magnolia Avenue intersection,where'Magnolia reaches its narrowest points at Hawthorne Ct. and Madrone Ln,, a collection of auto repair.shops, R.O. Schelling Grain and Feed Mill, a bus storage:Jot, a.boat repair facility, the Parent Sorenson Mortuary and Crematory•and finally.the Cavalry Cemetery/Cyprus.Hill'temorial Park, together produce:a volume of large trucks,towed vehicles or boats,plus mortuary and cemetery processions. In a five year period from June1994 to June 1999, State Highway Patrol records show 46 primary collision factors between Thompson Lane and Petaluma Blvd.N. Just short of half of these involved injuries. SA (4 ) You would.certainlyagreewith thetraffic safety`concernsof the residents plus the administratio"n'end parents of the St.. Vincent de Paul high School;(400 students and staff) and Mary Collins Elementary School (275 students and staff) as they daily encounter the complexities and dangers in using Magnolia Ave. Professionals in traffic planning use a standard factor for'calculating the daily trip volume per residential unit called "Trip Ends". This factor ten trip ends (5 round trips) for the type of development Dan Aguilar proposed. He proposed 33 units, Down from.42 units in his original bulletin to neighborhood residents. I understand this is`down;from as high as 80 units submittediearlier by another builder. If you translate 33.units<into traffic volumeyou add 165 vehicle trips:out and back on Magnolia Ave. Thesetrips will be on Magnoliwsince virtually all needed facilities are on Petaluma Blvd. N. are eastward. It may be that 165 trips is low since parents almost universally drive their children to and from school in these days of Polly Klass type crime. Perhaps these concerns are why your attempts to sellithis parcel through builders have met obstacles. Of course, there,are also concerns of drainage into Petaluma's.flood plain aswell as the issue of urban sprawl. According to the Greenbelt Alliance's lateststudy reported in the Chronicle on 1/13/00 , Petaluma is surrounded by high to medium risk in development of Greenbelt Areas. In the face..of these realitieskit would seem possible to generate funds from federal, state, county,city and private sources to materialize,your Magnolia Parcel as a park. There is nothing so powerful in generating funds as a charitable act. Assume you would gift the city part of the parcel so as to stimulate other fund sources. Might this be a "canny" act<(you get the tax deduction plus land sale) asi well as,a major"philanthropic" act. Shades of George P. McNear! In behalf of the interested parties, I am respectfullyasking you to take the first step.

McNear Businessman In 1876 when 19-year "' old George P ' McNear left kit k Petaluma High • School to` take over his farm ly's grain and s feed business, he was two McNear months shy of • graduation. But the lack of a degree didn't pre- vent him from seeing opportuni- ties that other men missed. in addition to a shipping;and warehouse business,the McNear family had a banking business. The young McNear parlayed his knowledge of new developments in the chicken industry and put the bank's resources toward financing a large percentage of the ranchers looking for astart in Petaluma area. His funding is in large part responsible for Petalunia's poultry boom. Not only did the McNear gain the interest on the loans he made, he also sold the chicken farmers grain and supplies, and he transported their goods to market. McNear was as sober as he was canny. He built an empire and was a philanthropist, donating the properties for the downtown fire department, McNear Park and McNear School. William R. Phillips 824: Blossom Court Petaluma, CA. 94952 4/26/00 Mr. Robert S. Thomas TTEE 15 Mountainview Ave. San Rafael, CA, 94901 Re: Magnolia Parcel 17 05 acres Dear Mr. Thomas: Thank you for your phone call yesterday with your decision.not to pursue the possibility of creating a Petaluma:City Park outlined in my letter of 2/8/00. Of course I am disappointed, but hopeful things might change and we could get together to create something that-would be a lasting benefit to much of this town. This situation is not set in stone. There is the possibility that your builder, Dan Aguilar, may encounter too many obstacles, so then we could find the space to pursue the park option. Be assured I will make the problem of the limited infrastructure to support Dan Aguilar's plans clear to all concerned. We are looking at the.strong possibility of a child or bicyclist being killed at the "throat of Magnolia", the:points at which pedestrians a bicyclists are forced to enter the vehicle traffic lanes. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I will attempt to get that'picture so a life or more may be saved.

Specific objectives include: Specific objectives include: • Long-term water savings: capital and maintenance costs are supported; • Superior profitabilityEfor the+customer and economic development for the community, by encouraging projects that simultaneously red uceuse of costly energy and chemicals; • Reduced discharge of pollutants to City sewer; and • Ratepayer equity: pro rata-financial support equivalent to other City water efficiency programs, with performance-verification by measurement. • First Demonstration Project—Mishi Apparel, Inc. Mishi Apparel, Inc.,,a 16-year, 50-pCrsont Petaluma business that designs and manufactures women's natural-fiber garments, agreed in.1998 to receive a professional engineering evaluation • of means for cost-effectively,reducing water use Sponsored by the Rose Foundation, and managed by The Bay Institute of San Francisco, the evaluation`revealed the opportunity for reducing'water use by 46%. This..envisioned a $200,000 project that would provide a more efficient water heater and washing machines, a•water softener, retrofitted dye machines, and optimized production processes:.The full project, if operated for 20 years, would warrant a $48,000 incentive from the City of Petaluma, and pay for itself in.approximately two years. Most of Mishi's anticipated cost savings arerattributed to reduced use of dyes, salt, and washing chemicals;reductions that wilfalso have downstream pollution prevention benefits. Mishi.Apparel, Inc., elected to take a first step towards.an;improved dyehouse by investing approximately $45,000 in new washing machines, water softener,,and water heater. Water savings, measured by sophisticated equipment purchased,by the Sonoma.County Water Agency specifically to support industrial efficiency programs, is 29%0 (please see reverse for details). Second:Demonstration Project— SOLA.Optical USA • The technical evaluation for a-secondproject recently commenced atSOLA Optical USA, a leading manufacturer of eyeglass lenses. The objective is to demonstrate ability to develop a cost-effective project within a high technology setting. The°Water Agency's flow monitoring equipment is critical to project success.
