In the interim, the 3s wastewater irrigation contracts that need to be renewed could be renewed for terms that 36 would expire after the new facilities contract is finalized.

This s subdivision is located at the corner of Sandstone Drive~ and Riesling Road. There will be 6 38 single family detached and 6 attached homes on 4.29 acres. The Council was ~ presented with the architectural renderings of the homes, the Planning Commission action s and neighborhood comments. The following listed persons spoke: 9 Michael Gallagher, developer, McBail Homes - the developer has complied with the io Corona Ely Specific Plan and with the Planning Commission and Site Plan Architectural ii Review Committee requirements and recommendations. Mr. Gallagher showed the i2 Councilmembers the disclosure document that each property owner in Graystone Creek is signed as part of their purchase documents. The disclosure statement indicated that across ~a the street from Graystone Creek there would be a low income apartment and affordable is housing project and buyers should check with the Ciry of Petaluma if this could be a i6 concern or factor in the purchase of a home ;in Graystone Creek. The document also i~ noted that there are plans for an elementary and a junior high school adjacent to Graystone is Creek. The following neighbors spoke: . i9 Robert Fix, 755 Riesling Road - Graystone Piace will cause devaluation of our homes. zo Steve Hall, 1829 Sandstone Drive - first home buyer - he didn't know there would be so Zi many homes across the street. There is not too much open space for children to play. zz Petaluma is getting overcrowded. a~ Sonia Gerard, 1853 Sandstone Drive - read a letter from Kevin White of 1833 Sandstone aa who thought a fence was going to be constructed between them and the low income zs houses. The roads must be taken care of by the homeowners. How can they be sure that z~ will be done? Mrs. Gerard agrees with the letter writer's sentiments. 2~ Paul Gerard, 1853 Sandstone Drive - he wants the barrier erected across the street. Zs Another thing you could consider is to put this on another agenda because the neighbors 29 were not notified of this meeting. (At the prior Council meeting, it was announced that 3o this item would be continued to today.) There is a disparity between the value of his 3i house and those in the Graystone Place subdivision. The streets are so small, can sz emergency vehicles get in there? Traffic will increase and be bad. He showed a 33 photograph of the unfinished Wisteria manufactured home subdivision and compared 34 Graystone Place with that. ss Drew Hittenberger, 801 Riesling Road - lives across the street. He is concerned about 36 esthetics and crowding of houses in the neighborhood. He paid $260,000 for his house 3~ and the value is dropping. The dropping of property values is on the Council's shoulders. ss After last speaker left the podium, staff advised that the standards for emergency vehicle 39 access have been met. Regarding notification for tonight's meeting, there was a Council ao Chambers full of people present when the Mayor advised that this item would be ai continued to June 17. Mr. Gallagher advised the price of the Graystone Place homes will a2 be about $180,000 and up. After some discussion, it was noted there is a certain 43 incumbency on buyers to find out what is in the offing for the neighborhood. It would 44 have been nice to have had an extra effort be made to notify the neighborhood. This is as the minimum number of houses that they could have proposed for the subdivision; it 46 could have been 63 homes. It is the people that make the neighborhood, not the house 47 SIZe.

It is possible the City may lose its pre-1914 appropriative water rights to the 34 waters of Adobe Creek if the City does not claim continued beneficial use of the water. 35 The courts have held that pre-1914 rights can be lost as a result of 5 years non-use. The 36 City last claimed beneficial use in October of 1992. 5taff see if the City can submit s~ petition that calls for both use as Fish and Game habitat and use as domestic water in a 3s pinch. ~ 39 The wording of the petition to the 5tate was discussed. There was concern there may be a ao day when the City may need to have the water directed to the City for domestic uses. a~ There was a question as to whether or not the petition can indicate two uses: fish habitat az and domestic use. This is to be brought back to the Council when the answers are known. :~~~ ~~. .

Zr Chuck Ternes, 35 Cherry Street - please take the ham operators out of your ordinance. 22 There are 200 amateur operators in Petaluma. Their antennas have not been a bother to ~ anyone up to this point. The Federal Communiaations Commission has exempted hams za for the NEIR. We would all be happy to be of assistance in drafting the ordinance. u The Council directed staff to give the ham operators protection.
