s Jack Balshaw - his 87 year old mother has had continuous trouble with a neighborhood
9 dog which acts menacingly; however, it has not bitten anyone, yet. The Animal Control
io people can catch the dog, and after the owner retrieves the dog from Animal Control, it
ii gets loose and menaces the neighborhood again. He asked for Council help in getting
iz some Police action to assist in this matter. Going through the vicious dog process would
is take 90 to 120 days. He is concerned something will happen to his mother in the
ia meantime.
is Terence Garvey, 83 Maria Drive - he is concerned about the Wastewater EIR that is
i6 currently going through Planning Commission evaluation. He suggested that there is some
i~ confusion, because the EIR and the contract are being discussed simultaneously. Perhaps
ia a retired judge could come and help mediate the situatio Also, he is concerned that the

COUNCIL C01~11VIEN'I'
Vice Mayor Read - the Creekside Drive residents have organized themseives as a
neighborhood group and have asked the Poiice to come by and visit with them .
Hopefully things will be resolved soon. At a recent breakfast, the Miwok Boy Scouts
presented the City of Petaluma with a plaque saying "Tlianks".
Matt Maguire - Regarding the matter about addressing elected officials by first name
rather than by their title. His intent was a humanist one, and his hope was that people
attending Council meetings would feel less intimidated, if the proceedings were less
formal. He invited people to call him Matt, rather than Councilman, if they wished to do
so. For many individuals addressing the Council is a very intimidating experience. He
supports having a town hall type of ineeting on a periodie basis:
Mayor Hilligoss - there were no reportable actions taken at the closed meeting which was
at the end of the afternoon session. She noted that the agenda item about 22-24 Bodega
Avenue was removed from the agenda.

and bicycling. 'They see the committee reorgaruzafiion to include 1 Planning
Commissioner, 1 Parks and Recreation Commissioner, and 5 bicyclists to serve at the
pleasure and direction of the City Council. The reporting authority would become a
committee of the Planning Commission. ~

APPEAI, - T~E' STUD~' - EIVIERGENCYACCESS
COUN'I'R~' CL~JB ESTATES UNITS 2A & 3A
This was a continuation of the appeal from the Country Club Homeowners Association
that was begun at the January 17 meeting, when the discussion of the Tree Study appeal
was concentrated on the location of an emergency access road. for the Fire Department.
February 6, 1995 Vol. 29, Page 29
i Principal Planner Jim McCann reviewed the project, noting the issue before the City
z Council is an appeal of the Planning Commission approval of the Tree Study for Country
3 Club Estates; specifically the tree mitigation "based on the possible removal of trees for a
a fire access road that would cut through a City Park and a wooded creek setting."
s It was noted by Mr. McCann that under ordinary circumstances, after the Planning
6 Commission approval of a tree study, it. would be referred to the Site Plan and
~ Architectural Review Committee for further definition and road location. Mr. McCann
s also noted the approvals being sought for this subdivision, which has reduced the denisty
9 from the previous version, all relate to the redesign of the map as required by the City
io Council. The Fire Department's mitigation - a second access road for emergency use - is
ii the focal point here.
iz (The hearing was opened on 7anuary 17) At the meeting, the Homeowners Association
is presented the Council with a second booklet dated February 6, 1995, which was read by
ia Mark Eglin.
is John Siragusa of Country Club Estates showed a video tape of the area. He presented a
i6 petition signed by 101 persons. The petition says the signing parties "..oppose the
i~ alignment of an Emergency Access Road from the McNear Access and the Rancho Lindo
is Access as proposed.." The petitioners ask that the appeal be upheld and staff be directed
i9 to find and study alternate alignments for the road.
Zo Jerry Campbell, 1056 McNear Avenue - read his letter protesting the emergency access
Zi road access to McNear Avenue because skateboarders, rollerskaters, vehicles, dune
Zz buggies, off road motorcycles and mountain bikes will use it. It will cause them to lose
23 their privacy in their dining and living rooms and will probably decrease the value of'their
Za house. A Ietter from Mrs. Campbell was aiso given to the Council +
zs Ruth Feldman, 1019 Rancho Lindo Way - we don't want any more problems, all the
26 things they expressed, we already have them.
a~ Sandy Fahrenfeld, 1023 Rancho Lindo Drive - presented a letter opposing an emergency
zs road between Country Club Estates and Rancho Lindo Subdivision amd opposing cutting
29 down of any eucalyptus trees.
3o Jack Weddle, 1319 Canyon Drive - developments on unstable hillsides concern him.
3i Country Club Estates developer has treated the slides. He is happy to see the open space
32 area. He is not happy about a fire road if it is on unstable land. He is concerned about a
33 road crossing a park. He pointed to Cohen Court and Country Club Drive and said an
34 access road would work from there, or Turnberry.
3s Julia Hauth, 1039 Rancho Lindo Drive - regarding an emergency access through Rancho
36 I,indo, it is no longer feasible. There are conflicting easements.
3~ Bel Fahrenfeld, 1023 Rancho Lindo Drive - spoke in favor of emergency access road
3a described by staff. Public safety and security should take first priority. He asked the
39 Council to deny the appeal. If you uphold the appeal, you seriously compromise public
ao safety. There being no one else wishing to speak, the hearing was closed.
ai Planrung Director Pamela Tuft said there is a need to clarify a number of statements by the
az neighbors and address fire suppression and fire protection. That is the impact we are
as trying to mitigate noted there is no implied approval of public access to that road. The 42
aa lots that were allowed by the tentative map adopted by the City Council provided for
as larger lots. There is no development potential implied on the 8.6 acre portion of land now
a~ referred to as L,ot 43. The total yield for the Units 2A/3A development was to be no more
a~ than 63 lots.
Page 30 , Vol. 29 February 6, Y995
As an alternative access, Rovina was not studied; it ends outside of the City Limits. The
EIR, prepared for a different project, was paid for by developer monies and was managed
by City staff. She reminded everyone that the original project had been withdrawn and the
ndge was to be protected in open space. The location of the road must be influenced by
the trees. The road design would be done to minimize cuts. It would not cost° $40,000
for an EIR to refigure the road alignment and:it would_not be done with taxpayers' money;
it would be done by the developer. A lot of misconceptions have surfaced on how the
City gets parkland. The developer and all new homeowners pay into a fund. We would
be glad to look at emergency access alternatives if the Council doesn't agree with the
McNear Avenue alternative which is before them.
Regarding the use of a turf block surface for the emergency access, the City Engineer
noted that on a~ grade, the wheels will loose traction.
Fire Chief Terry Krout - we need to protect for fire in the Country Club Estates and we
need to be able to evacuate people should Country Club Driv~ become blocked. He went
on to explain the major portion of the proposed emergency access r.oad would follow the
~idge line. `'Ttie Fire Department needs access to the ridgeline as a strategic position to
figfit'fire. The topography there is such that the drainage sw~le would act like a chimney
in a fire situation; this moves fires swiftly uphills. Pumpecs must be kept on roads. The
prevailing winds would take,a fire from one subdivision to another, and no matter where a
fire would start, it would go to the top of the ridge. There was a comment ab,out air
support being ;a few minutes away. That is tlie case on occasion. If the planes.are calTed ~
elsewhere, the air support is not existent. The egress at Rovina does not address~ the need
to have a access road in the open space. An access across the; ridge top and to IVIcNear 'is
preferable. To'have a road qverto Raneho Lindo and througll a grove of euealyptus trees
~s contrary to good firefighting safety procedures. A fire truck can handle a 1 S degree
slope, otherwise the b'rakes do not hold. .Grades over 15 percent should be avoided:
There was considerable discussion. among the Council about the issue. Staff was asked to
research the installation of a.park bench in the park and related park fees received/paid.
Itovina is outside the city lirruts. Some person who lives ther.e may oppose it. Staff was
asked to look for alternatives and not lirrut the search at Rovina.
The City Attorney advised that the only thing before the Coua~cil is the review of the tree
study. In terrris: ,of taking action about the alignment of the road, it would not be
appropriate because it is not on the agenda. The Council could give the Site Plan and
Architectural Review Committee strong direction that you do not want a road in the park.
It was moved by Vice Mayor Read and seconded by Jane Harriilton to table act~'ion on the
Tree Study until such time as an acceptable alignment can be developed at~d the Tree
Study amended to reflect a change. The intent was to adopt a resolution stating the
Council's intent at the ne~ct meeting. ~

s Resolution 95-40 NCS awarding the bid for the Intermodal Surface Transportation
9 Efficiency Act (ISTEA) funds. The project has a"goal" of 10% Disadvantage Business
io Enterprise (DBE) participation.
i i The low bidder showed no DBE participation; the second low bidder, W. K. McLellan,
i2 listed 2.5% DBE participation with a bid of $111,827.40; and the third bidder, Ghilotti
is Brothers, listed 10.14% DBE participation. There was much discussion about whether or
ia not the State of California statement that there is a"goal of 10% DBE participation" is a
is mandate or a suggestion. Speakers were:
i6 Mario Ghilotti of Ghilotti Brothers - he said that bidding the Disadvantage Business
i~ Enterprise (DBE) contracts causes the contract prices to increase. Among other things,
is Ghilotti Brothers scheduled contracting for equipment to obtain the DBE participation.
i9 The 10% DBE participation is what the State wants, so this is what Ghilotti Brothers bid.
zo Ted and Keith McLellan - the matter of defining the word "significant" to describe what
Zi the DBE percentage ought to be should be spelled out. Other cities make that clear in
Zz their bid documents; and there is no misunderstanding. They are also keeping some of
zs their equipment idle just to get the minority business. Introduced by Matt Maguire,
