13 1988 UNIFORM FIRE CODE ADOPTED
14 Fire Marshal Clyde Thomas reviewed, the various changes to the current regulations.
15 He advised the sprinkler installation cost estimate per square foo_ t of house is $1.35 to
16 $1.50 or $300 to $500 per house. Charlie Carson, Building ,Industry Association
17 Executive Director, commented about thepotential cost of water damage repairs from
18 accidental discharge incidents (which the Fire Marshal advised is a 1 in 6 million
19 occurrence).
20 Chris Craiker, architect, spoke in opposition to the requirement of sprinklers at target
21 combustion sites in residences located outside of the 4=minute-response zones. He
22 also asserted the sprinkler system can be turned off thus giving a resident a false sense
23 of security.
24 Fire Chief Krout noted the statistics, the 'Fire Service has received from areas that
25 require residential sprinklers, show ,a -dramatic decrease in life and property toss from
26 fires in sprinkled residences. He also noted ,the sprinkler system will be .an integral
27 part of the residential water service, and, if the sprinkler system were to be cut off' the
28 water supply would also not be functioning. 'The vote to adopt Ordinance 1799 NCS

17 investigation of more modern fixed "rail" technology such as electromagnetic
18 levitation.

RECESS 8:25 to 8:35 D.M.
NIZIBIAN APPEAL
RANCHO LINDO ESTATES (MT. VIEW AVENUE)
22 The City Council considered the appeal submitted by Joseph and Raymond Nizibian
23 from the Planning Commission denial of a prezoning -for Rancho Lindo Estates
24 Subdivision, a 10 lot subdivision which includes one lot with an existing house that will
25 remain. The Planning Commission's vote on the PUD Plan was 3 ayes and 3 noes,
26 resulting in defeat of the motion. By virtue of the Planning Commission rules and
27 procedures in Petaluma, this would have completely defeated the application if the
28 appeal had not been filed by the applicant.
29 The City Council, reiterated their prior direction that homes in custom lot subdivisions
30 not be subject to Site Plan Architectural Review Committee (SPARC) review, rather
31 the City shall require that the entire project meet predetermined guidelines with
32 regard to style of fencing, et cetera, and SPARC's time shall not be taken up reviewing
33 individual homes. SPARC should approve the design aspects and concepts of the
34 entire project.
35 There was considerable discussion about the matter of hillside construction and the
36 potential of neighbors being able to see into adjoining back yards.
37 Planning Director Warren Salmons reminded the Council the proposed conditions, as
38 set forth'.in the staff report that is before them, have not been acted on by the Planning
39 Commission. The Planning Commission action on the matter ceased the minute their
40 first vote resulted in the tie which defeated the entire project, .unless there was a
41 subsequent appeal. Because the agenda did not specifically state the various
42 legislation connected with the subdivision, no formal action could be taken at this
43 time.

3
4
- , Frank and Pat Marshall, 1675 .Mt. View Road, are .concerned a'bout,.the
5
- use of the most westerly easement for construction vehicle access.. This
6
is in a, drainage swale and wet weather access would be. practically
7
impossible. They also asked that the_construction access not be used on
8
weekends. The vacantroperty is owned by a person of diminished
9
capacity who is a ward of the State. The easement egress to Mt.
10
View is too close to Purrington. Mrs. ,Marshall does not wish to be
11
annexed into the City because she understood it would cost them
12
$409000 -to do so. They also,oppose sidewalk construction On "Mt. View.
13
- Julia Hoch, 1039 Rancho Lindo, said to tear the house down at 1541
14
Mt. View and make the road there. She doesn't -want any additional
15
:residents, from the proposed 9 new .houses using her street. Says not to
16
improve Mt. View with curbs except for, the new subdivision.:
-
.17
- Len Svinth, '1541 Mt. View, has,
as lived therefor 20 years and has no. plan
18
to tear his house down for a street. He is conservator for Irving
19
Rasmussen and opposes use of ,the easement for construction access.
20
- Belford Fahrenfeld,.1023, Rancho Lindo, they have corresponded with
21
the City before :this time about the sidewalks in the subdivision.
22
(according to staff -the subdivision plans called for the sidewalks to be
23
built as they currently exist). People walk in the streets.
24
- Dennis Hansen, Rancho Lindo Drive. - asked that there be .restriction
25
of construction working hours and prohibition of loud construction
26
activity,on,weekends.
27
- Sandy Fahrenfeld, 1023 -Rancho Lindo,. Rancho Lindo should be closed,
28
to construction traffic until the subdivision is complete.
29
- Shirley Wilson, owner of the pfoperty on which 'the _Nizibian-. brothers
30
have an option to purchase. She noted that. as -part of their
31
,planning
process, they interviewed. approximately 10' different developers, told
32
some of the neighbors if they had any concerns or input to contact
33
them. None of the neighbors contacted the Wilsons. - Some of the
34
various developers suggested uses of the land included construction of
35
12 - 16, houses, construction of duplexes-, and a town and country, retail
36
shopping center. The Nizibians were the ones who suggested the 10 -lot
37
alternative which .is befor_ e the Council. at this time., The first
38
communications from thel neighbors 'came ;after the hearing notices
'39
were mailed. The Wilsons understand some of the concerns express by
40
the..neighbors because they are going to build on one of the top lots as
41
are some. of the Nizibian children_. It is their intent to arrange their
42
house in such a way, that they cannot look into someone, else's yard.
43
The ' easement from Mt. View onto their .property goes with the
44
property. Trucks have used it in .the past. The Wilsons, have allowed
45.
the neighbors to use theirproperty for such activities as swimming pool
46
construction. There being no one else wishing to speak,. the hearing
47
was closed.
48 The City Council asked 'that Lot 7 be left undeveloped as long as possible 'in order to
49 allow construction vehicle- access by way of the westerly easement. Rancho Lindo will
5o be blocked off in such a way that a only Fire .Department vehicle could pass through
51 when necessary until the first house is occupied.
