those. fronting on Petaluma Blvd. The second" option included all
buildable property fronting on Petaluma Blvd. North .and those
properties whose owners: expressed their desire to be included. This
option would. create islands of property That would n®t be part of the

priority. Mr. Sabo, counsel for these proceedings, reviewed the process
that had transpired to date, the public hearing has been held and he
added that it is proper for the Council to make their decision at this time.

include all property with buildable frontage oa Petaluma blvd. North and
those who requested inclusion and are contiguous to property fronting on
Petaluma Blvd North and ~ properties that may have requested
