Mr. Davis suggested the Joint Powers Association take a much more 6 thorough look at the decentralized process. He indicated this is the way to obtain some ~ hard figures and to determine what costs will be accrued. He concluded by saying we a can't find out what would be most efficient unless we have much more information on 9 which to base a decision. io Staff was requested to bring this back to the JPA for consideration.

It was reported the 3s property is for sale. 36 The hearing was opened. 37 Joyce Cook, Penngrove, spoke on behalf of her mother and her uncle who are two of the 3s three owners. She felt that her mother would not have allowed this deterioration to occur 39 had she known. about it. She noted that her grandfather left the property to the three ao children, two of whom she was representing. These children had other homes at the time ai of her grandfather's death, so the third owner, Lisa, was utilizing the property on which a2 her daughter and others are. living.

Ms. 3 Cook had seen the registered mail come to her mother's home and in her mother's a absence, Ms. Cook opened the notice of hearing and became aware of the abatement. s After Ms. Cook was well into her response to the Council, a woman in the back of the 6 room stood up and said she was an. owner of the property and added that her daughter has ~ come into town from elsewhere and .cannot afford to live any other place. The woman s also said no one is living in the dilapidated back shed. At that point, the Fire Marshal 9 related the information about interviewing the children at the rear building. A Michelle io Vargas had given him permission to look in the buildings and a Kathy Barnett had said to i i not come past the front door. 12 The hearing was closed.

The Fire 2s Marshal said the usable tires are kept in neat rows and are stacked in an orderly fashion, 29 the quantity of which is a great deal less than that which is acceptable by the Fire Code. 3o The public hearing was opened and the following persons spoke: 3t Emil Devincenzi, 611 Petaluma Bld. North -owner -there has been a fire business at this 32 location since 1978. He noted they have reduced the usable fire storage outside and it is 33 as tidily segregated as it can be. This is not a business expansion. He said they are 3a trying to cooperate with the neighbors. There is no new noise from his business, 3s although it was noted the adjacent carpet store does have a fork lift. Potential retread 36 tires are loaded onto his truck and reject tires are loaded on a separate vehicle. .Both are 37 removed as they are filled. 3s Paul Spedick, 612 Kentucky Street -has lived behind the fire place for about 4 or 5 39 years. He says there are mosquitos, although the Marin/Sonoma Mosquito Abatement ao District has gone on record stating the mosquito production at the .facility is minor and the at owner has always cooperated with the District's suggestions. He sees workers smoking a2 down below, and he wants redwood trees planted. He would also like to see a 5 or 10 43 foot setback where the trees will be planted and a sound wall erected. And, he would as like to see the tires covered. as Fire Marshal Clyde Thomas advised that it would take more than leaving a cigarette on a 46 fire to start a fire. .~ .. ~~r' ~,. • . , . , , Page 68, Vol. 28 October 25, 1993 i PETALUMA TIRE SOURCE contd.

John and' is ~ Sue Fox .have owned this property since 1968. They -have used the property until. now for is their animals; and they are now ready to build a home on the 3..85 acres. i6 Staff altered their previous recommendation as follows: (a) the Foxes undertake the t~ financial responsibility for design of all-the necessary improvements, street, .curb., gutter, is sidewalk, water, sewer, storm drains and street lights from I Street and Pumngton Road 19 up to their site; (b) that they construct- the sewer main from I Street up Purrington to Zo their site; and, (c) they construct the half-street frontage improvements on their parcel's z~ access only. 22 How this will be coordinated with the Lopes/Nugent outside sewer that was approved this ~3 afternoon is that Mr. and Mrs. Fox would be required to remunerate .Lopes/Nugent Za according to the Lopes/Nugent payback agreement. zs The hearing was opened. John Fox thanked 'the Council and staff for their assistance. 26 The staff recommendation will assist other people in the area to upgrade their systems. 2~ There being no one else wishing to speak the hearing was closed. Za Resolution 93-290 NCS was introduced by Nancy Read, 'and seconded by z9 Lori Shea, to come back at a .future agenda with a payback agreement; to 30 look at the Purrington Road area for future City service requests; and to 3~ notify the Fox .family that this property take note of the water service 3i limitation which is at the 160 foot contour line: 33 The appeal of the administrative approval is denied. This action approves 3a an outside sewer connection at 112 Pumngton Road and this action 3s requires that certain improvements be designed concurrently with the sewer 36 design (street, curb, gutter, sidewalk, water lines for domestic use and. fire 37 protection, street lights, and storm drainage facilities). The design will be 3a kept on file for use should there be more requests for .outside sewer in the 39 immediate area. The Foxes will obtain the necessary right-of--way and will ao construct one half of the street, including curbs, gutters, and sidewalk on ai their side of the street as well as the sewer connection to I Street from their a2 access to Purrington Road. October 25, 1993 Vol. 28, Page 69 t The Planning Director will, on an early City Council agenda, place a 2 resolution of "intent to enter into a payback agreement" .

This building has been leased to the Petaluma People i6 Services Center (PPSC) for the Senior Day Care program since 1987. The revised lease 17 is for 5 years and is renewable. The PPSC attempted to obtain Community Development to Block Grant monies in order to make a second handicap accessible restroom and to t9 replace the roof. The grant was not awarded because of the wording of the time of 20 expiration of the lease.

There was 29 considerable discussion about doing the study only on the 42.70 acres as opposed to doing 3o the study on the 42.70 acres as well as reflecting on the uses and impacts on the adjacent 31 area just outside of the Urban Limit Line as far out as Ellis Creek. There was staff 3z concern that including the added area would effect the time line and the cost of the study. 33 Herb Bundeson, 1060 LOrman Lane -representing the owners of the area with a "Transit" 34 land use designation said land with this type of designation is particularly difficult to do 3s anything whatsoever with it. 36 Peter Benson of Kaufman and Broad -asked for some idea what may be the decision on 37 the property. 3R Patrick Idiard has been retained to do an appraisal of the property by the property 39 owners, named Bay Street #19, Ltd. from Montreal, Canada. He asked what the time ao frame might be between now and the time the Council would reach a conclusion on the ai property use. He was advised this study will take a minimum of four months. a2 Ian Baird of Duffel Financial -said they would like some sort of decision on the land so a3 they may know what options might be appropriate for them. 44 4s 46 47 The Council felt that unless there is a good look at th'e entire area;` there will ' be insufficient mfortnahori on which to '.base a decision. :They asked that Wagstaff and Associates put some intellect into their vision of: the area outside the urban separator'. r ~ .~d:~: Page 70, Vol. 28 October 25, 1993 i RESO. 93-291 NCS 2 OLD ADOBE SCHOOL DISTRICT 3 EXCLUSIVE USE URBAN SEPARATOR Resolution 93-291 NCS approving exclusive use during school hours of Urban Separator for outdoor play activities at the new Old Adobe School District elementary school near Mountain Valley and Cader Farms Highlands subdivisions: This Urban. Separator area would be used for such things as ball fields. The playground area will not be in the Urban Separator. 9 The Council had several questions regarding route of the continuation of the pedestrian io walkways through and around the site. Superintendent Billie. Ray Lipscomb noted the i i path will. go around the area from Matzen Ranch Circle to the estern boundary of the 12 Urban Limit Line, follow the edge of the Urban Limit Line to a point where it could then 13 turn westerly to Tulare Street. The Urban Separator will be used by' the Old Adobe is School District only during school hours. There is no proposal to fence the property to is discourage people from walking through the school area. The resolution was introduced i6 by Brian Sobel and seconded by Lori Shea. 17 AYES: Nelson, Sobel, Hamilton, Barlas, Shea, Vice Mayor Read, Mayor Hilligoss 18 NOES: None 19 ABSENT: None 20 STATUS REPORT ON KICKERS BAR 21 Planning Director Pamela Tuft reviewed the action to date on the complaints of noise 22 from Kickers Bar which is located on Petaluma Blvd. North near Martha Street. The 23 sound wall inside Kickers is now under construction. Upon completion of the sound 2a wall, the acoustical consultant needs to check the sound during the time the business is 2s open and during the time people come and go. 26 When this next comes before the Council, the Council members would like both a Police 27 Department representative and the Planning Director on hand to answer questions. The 2a Council asked for a history of the Police calls. 29 30 31 Victor Thiesen, 14. Martha Street -did attend the Alcoholic Beverage Control hearing. 32 He anticipates a resolution of that hearing about March or April, 1994. Currently, he 33 said, there is no sound wall. There was a lot of noise two weekends ago. You should 34 look really closely as to whether or not this is really a bar. There are 1,800 watts of 3s sound emanating from that establishment. He would invite _any .and all Councilmembers 36 (on one evening) to come over to his house for a late Caesar salad and an opportunity to 37 listen to the neighboring business's sounds. He said the noise within the building is only 3a a portion of the sound they hear. It is fights, loud voices, and other inappropriate sounds 39 as well. ao Mike Healy, 304 Kentucky Street -there is noise both inside and outside of that business. ai Maybe they should turn their back to the "Boulevard" and open from Water Street. This a2 is a night club. October 25, 1993 Vol. 28, Page 71 ~ The Council asked for the Police Chief to .provide them with Captain Parks' report to the 2 Alcoholic Beverage Control. The Police Department was asked by the Council to look at 3 a fine structure which would go into effect each time they were called for a peace a disturbance. The Council would like to discuss the possibility of opening the business to s Water Street. 6 CITY COUNCIL AND STAFF COMI~~NT ~ Lori Shea requested that a proclamation be drawn up by the City and given to the s volunteer center for Polly Klass. 9 Carole Barlas asked when the Council might see commencement of a budget committee. io It was noted this is on the November 1 agenda. i ~ Lori Shea asked what would happen if Proposition 172 would pass and what would that ~2 mean to the cities. City Manager Scharer answered that there are two measures on the 13 November 2 ballot, a Statewide measure and a County measure. Both ask the citizens to is approve continuance of the 1/2 cent sales tax. If the State tax failed, the County measure ~s could prevail if it received sufficient votes. He noted that the two tax measures are not i6 cumulative. A positive vote on either measure would mean $112,000 to the City of i~ Petaluma for the six months January 1, 1994, through June 30, 1994. is The money that is donated to the Polly Klaas volunteer center does not go to the City. ~9 The City has no accounting of those funds at all. Zo Brian Sobel -Would it also be possible that we are prepared to talk about a parcel tax in zi real numbers? He asked for information containing the number of parcels there are and zz related data so the Council can discuss the issue. We need to talk about what it costs to 23 run the DARE program. We need to be prepared so that we are not a further week za behind. Zs Bonnie Nelson asked when the Goal Setting date is. City Manager Scharer noted the 26 Goal Setting will be Saturday, January 15. 2~ He also noted the Council and the School Districts planned a follow up to the last Zs meeting. This will be held on December 13. 29 The Moon Ranch report from the County Open Space Committee should be ready in 3o about 60 days. Part of the delay is the County has requested another land appraisal. 31 ADJOURN 3i The meeting was ajdourned at 10:45 p.m. ., r 33 M. Patricia Hilligoss, Mayor 3a ATTEST: 3s Patricia E.
