9 PUBLIC CONIIVIENT
io Geoffrey Cartright, 56 Rocca Drive -Asked about the "Old Elm Village" project which he says
ii is in the flood plain. The project is a Burbank Housing Project that is scheduled to be
iz constructed across the street from the old Lucky Store at Payran and adjacent to the railroad
i3 tracks.
is David Bradley, Ryder Homes -asked that the item on the Consent Calendar about Heritage
is Homes be pulled for discussion.
i6 Kay Russo noted this is Domestic Violence Month and she thanked the City Council for their
~~ support on the issue. The issue of the median, islands on Sonoma Mountain Parkway has her
is concerned. She has seen the City redesign traffic circulation at Council meetings without
i9 information from staff, rather just reactions from residents at a Council meeting stating traffic is
zo heavy on their street. Councilmember Keller has said this is not a good way to plan traffic
zi circulation. This has happened over and over again. That is inappropriate. We all pay taxes for
zz the streets and- should be able to use them. Those neighbors who don't want us to use streets
z3 should also pay for their upkeep. We need to be a little more thoughtful. She will continue to
za follow this issue.
zs Diane Reilly -Council candidate Mike Healy said something about tearing down the Golden
z6 Eagle Shopping Center in connection with the development of the Central Petaluma Specific
z7 Plan and she opposes such an action because there is a grocery store that is used by the people
zs with fixed income. City Manager Stouder said there is no plan to tear down the Golden Eagle
z9 Shopping Center. She has asked for Domestic Violence packets to be placed down at the
3o Police Station on several occasions. She finds it .amazing to 'have a proclamation on domestic
31 violence and then say we hope to have such a program in town some day.
3z COUNCIL COMMENT

s Subdivision, and is a portion of the Gatti Parcel :Map No. 303. A 2.9 acre off-site storm water
6 detention basin'is proposed with this development. The estimated cost of public improvements
is $1,664,111. This agenda item was removed from the Consent Calendar and David Bradley of
s Ryder Homes requested that the approval of the final -map be modified by amending the last date
9 by which grading may be accomplished from October 15 to a November date. There was
io considerable discussion between the Council, the City Engineer and Mr. Bradley regarding the
i,i possibility of rain, erosion control, and elimination of siltation problems. Mr. Bradley wishes to
iz construct the storm water detention pond basin prior to the winter rains. Also the developer
13 plans to hydro-seed, use straw mulch, straw bales, and silt fencing. The Council asked that this
is work be checked throughout the rainy season. The City Engineer assured the Council this will
is be monitored by staff. The City Engineer said his conservative recommendation was to wait
i6 until spring for this work. After considerable discussion, Resolution 98-221 NCS was
i~ introduced by DK and seconded by MS with conditional approval of the grading as was
is discussed. City Engineer Hargis will revise the resolution wording to include Council direction
19 on erosion, siltation control and monitoring. The Council asked for reports back on the status

31 is the only operating municipal .landfill (Class III) in Sonoma County. Ken Wells, Sonoma
3z County Waste Manager, answered the Council's inquiries.
33 The program includes the following components: expansion of the landfill (to extend the landfill
34 capacity until approximately 2014), a household hazardous waste facility (a building where
35 household hazardous wastes would be collected, packaged for shipment, temporarily stored and
36 "then transported off-site for recycling, reuse, or disposal), a landfill. gas fuel facility (as refuse
37 decomposes in the landfill, it generates landfill gas which is mostly methane and carbon dioxide.
3s The facility would clean and compress the fuel so it could be used to fuel vehicles. Eventually
39 equipment will. be obtained to liquefy the gas for storage efficiency.), a soil bioremediation
ao facility (cleaning soil that has been contaminated with petroleum, oil and grease), and operation
ai improvements (this would include a public `tipping' [i.e. off loading] facility and a new
az recycle/reuse area).
a3 Mi. Wells said there are monitoring wells to test for "leachate" escape. He said that if
as contamination levels are above certain levels, the materials are "returned to sender." No

i~ David Glass -expressed. concern about the City's. prior approvals of projects in the flood- plain
is and said the Factory Outlet Stores had",some. water in snores. last winter, We no longer' know
i9 where the: flood plain ;is, he said. The `zero net -fill' policy has loopholes. 'The commercial. and
zo industrial areas of the city are exempt. from .some zoning :restrictions:. FEMA policy may change.
zi He has a friend that moved into a tree: house in the winter. Flooding, creates homeless people.
zz He promised. citizens will have a cordial atmosphere in this Chamber: Disagreement doesn't
z3 mean disagreeable.
za Suzie Shupe and .Joyce Hall -Family Action of :Sonoma .County -this group has complied a
zs listing of services which :are available "to support families. The- public .needs this, information and
z6 they are able to disseminate it. They said it is important. that the Councils recognize that
z~ decisions they make have an affect beyond. the Council Chambers. It is their recommendation
zs that all cities add a `-family action' section to their Gf;neral Plans. Cities,: schools, and the
zv business community should all be included in projects to help families. They are working in
3o coordination with HCz.
3i Judy Hillery -The Aig_s Courier quotes Janice Cader-Thompson saying that East Madison has
3z always been. a major .thoroughfare. That 'is incorrect: We have speed bumps to discourage
33 traffic and we.have. signs which say no trucks ,over a certain size.. The Corona Ely Specific Plan

t Hank Flum, 1721 Stonehenge -campaign promises about. Rainier ,helpingtraffic:problems are
z misleading., It will make trai~c worse. None of the surrounding roads would be improved. It
3 would become more congested.: The solution is to realign McDowell and Washington and to
a rebuild Washington Street interchange to modern standards. This would be a financial albatross.

t6 should have some rest stops. He was hurrying home and was late for his diabetic medication.

is Marina made it so hard on her. The Sheraton at the Marina will impact downtown. The

s a county issue. Regarding .the golf driving. range-which,,°is being constructed at the site of the old
a drive-in theatre (south o£Lesure Lake.Moble Home Park) he hoped the fence doesn't go to the

~ Growth Boundary is flexible and can. be changed if the citizens: want it to be changed. Read an
