Zo At both the January 17 and February 6 Council meetings, the Council heard from the
Zi homeowners' association of Country Club Estates who appealed the Planning
s2 Commission's approval of the required tree study for the subdivision. They do not want
zs the proposed placement of the Fire Department's emerger~cy access and egress road on
Za the hill between Country Gub Estates and the Nizi6ian Subdivision and e~citing down at
Zs McNear Avenue. The option of connecting the Country Club subdivision and the Nizibian
z6 subdivision with an emergency access road has receive~ much opposition, from the
2~ Nizibian subdivision landowners. Staff has been directed ta ask the developer of Country
zs Club Estates to seek other possible routes for an emergency access/egress road for the
29 subdivision.
3o Mark Eglin and John Siragusa of the Country Club Estates Homeowners Associ'ation both
3i spoke thanking the Council for hearing tfiem and then they went on to request a change in
s2 the wording of the proposed resolution. The City Attorney advised against changing the
33 wording of the resolution. After some discussion, it was agreed to add Condition b to the
34 resolution stating the Council does not want to remove ta-ees: Resolution 95-51 NCS
3s denying the tree study as it addresses the component of emergency vehicle access to
36 McNear Avenue as proposed for the Country Club Estates 2a/3a Subdivision. There will
3~ be no action on this subject until the developer requests consideration of a new emergency
3s access alignment: Regarding the park improvements status, the City owes the developer
39 $10,800 for park improvements. At an earlier meeting on this subject there was talk about
ao a mahogany park bench. Due to the expense and the short lifespan of these articles of
ai park furniture, the developer was asked not to install such items.

s I~ODIA~ JACK'S APPEAI, OF "~A~t"
9 Wayne Vieler, owner of Kodiak Jack's Honky Tonk and Saloon, appealed the Zoning
io Administrator's definition of "bars/cocktail lounges," which appeal was denied by the
ii Planning Commission, thus the Zoning Administrator's decision was upheld. Mr. Vieler's
i2 letter of appeal to the City Council stated he felt the interpretation is illegal,
i3 unconstitutional and manipulative in the extreme. His letter went on to say his business is
ia exempt, as a new definition does not apply to an already established business. He received
rs his business license in June of 1994, and he feels the definition of a bar in effect at that
i6 time was different than the Zoning Administrator's current definition of a"bar".
i~ Planning Director Pamela Tuft gave a brief review of the appellant's appeal and then she
ia read her interpretation of the definition of a bar.
i9 The public hearing was opened and the following persons spoke.
Zo Wayne Vieler, owner, reiterated his interpretation of the situation, and reviewed dates of
ai various letters, reports and meetings. He stated his feeling that his bar should be
az considered a permitted use. He compared his business with McNear's Saloon and
Zs Holidaze and the Blue Note. (However, it was noted by staffthey are in a different, zoning
za district than Kodiak Jack's. McNear's Saloon, Holidaze and the Blue Note are in the
zs Central Commercial zone and Kodiak Jack's is in the Highway Commercial zone; there
26 are different use regulations in these zones ) He requested his appeal be upheld. ~ If it is
2~ upheld, then he would like the several measures (i.e. noise study and all mitigation
2x measures removed from the City's requirements of his business and he would like fo have
z9 a refund of a portion of the fees he has paid. -~
30 7ustin Morse - lives outside the City limits - he has been coming to Petaluma for 14 years
3i for dancing. The street noise is louder than any club noise he hears from Kodiak Jack's.
sz He supports Mr. Vieler's position.
33 Dani Dixon, Pepperwood Lane -she works and lives in the area. all the other places have
sa live music, why shouldn't Kodiak Jack's have it. This is a safe and fun place to go. There
ss is no trouble.
36 Victor Thuesen, 14 Martha - Mr. Vieler works hard and runs a,good business, but there is
s~ too much noise and too much parking problems. Has he ever met with the neighbors, the
ss Planning Director and the Police Chief on a monthly basis to touch base to see if all is
39 well? (Staff advised those meetings were to be held when it was necessary.) We have a
ao fear of an unrestricted business. You should deny the appeal:
ai Mike Healy, 304 Kentucky Street - supports Mr. Thuesen's comments. The only answer
a2 in the past has been the nuisance abatement process which is a very long and drawn out
43 procedure. The Conditional Use Permit will be an asset.
aa The hearing was closed. Council comments - This is a fairness issue. It is too bad he did
as not receive the written interpretations within 2 or 3 weeks of asking for them. That is
46 how businesses should be treated in Petaluma. Will the other bars that have had live
a~ entertainment in the CH zone.
