File No. 0418 - City Manager Callinan reviewed his July 5, 1979 memo to the
Qantas Development Council regarding Qantas Development Corporation's EIR for
Corp. EIR the area south of East Cotati Avenue. Mr. Callinan advised

continued to tonight's meeting per the request of Mayor Davis
of the City of Cotati and Mr. David Catano.

to various individuals and /or firms who had expressed interest
in the matter to inform them that the Council would again
consider the Qantas EIR tonight.
City Attorney Flitner explained that the Council could do
one of the following:
1. Approve the EIR of the Council finds it adequate.
2. Approve the EIR subject to mitigative measures.
3. Determine that there should be "no project ".
4. Have the consultant:prepare further comments.
Mr. Del Davis of Del Davis Associates, EIR consultants from
San Rafael, was recognized and explained that as the result
City Manager Callinan

of comments received at the April 9, 1979 hearing, additional
studies and information was provided in the EIR. He explained
that many responses to comments made at the hearing were al-
ready contained in the EIR, but in fragmented form, therefore,
the EIR's format had been revamped to make it more organized.
Repetitive comments were responded to in summary form as
allowed by CEQA guidelines. He stated that the extensive
peak hour distance and time travel studies for Railroad Avenue,
East Cotati Avenue and Snyder Lane, provided very important
modifications to the EIR. In particular major differences
were found in the morning and evening peak hour traffic patterns.
City Manager Callinan left the Council Chambers at approximately
8:30 P.M.
Mr. Davis noted that there was insufficient sewer treatment
capacity for development of the entire project at this time.
He advised that comments regarding the City's growth manage -
ment program were included in the EIR and because he found
major differences of opinion between police service experts
in Cotati and Rohnert Park full statements by each party were
included in the EIR.
Mr. Davis read a letter received July 9, 1979 from Marthe
Osborne Norwick relating her concern that the EIR did not
adequately address the long term impact of the project on
1).agricultural land and 2) open space.
Mr. Davis cited various sections of the EIR which he felt
adequately addressed Mrs Norwick's concerns and recommended
that her comments be overridden.
Mayor Roberts indicated that he would recognize anyone in
the audience who desired to address the Council concerning
the EIR although the matter had not been scheduled for a public
hearing.
City Manager Callinan City Manager Callinan returned to the Council Chambers at
Returns approximately 8:36 p.m.
Alan Stansbury, member of the Cotati City Council, was rec-
ognized and indicated that the entire Cotati City Council
was present, except Councilman Jordan and Mayor Davis who
were out of town.
Councilman Stansbury expressed interest in the amounts of
sewer capacity mentioned in the EIR because of the sewer con-
tract which had been provided to Rohnert Park in March and
which they had not yet received back. He explained that his
city hoped,that there would be a guaranteed sewer capacity
and informed that Cotati's staff also felt that the revised
traffic volumes for East Cotati Avenue were not adequate.
In concluding his comments, he requested that the data con -
tained in the EIR be updated as each unit of the project is
developed in order to make sure that the mitigative measures
are watched.
Page 8 July 9, 1979
Jan Marks, 460 Eucalyptus Avenue , was recognized and explained
that she had many concerns about the proposed development.
In particular she felt that police services would suffer,
traffic figures would have to be revised and that roadways are
not adequate for the type of.development. She was concerned
that the Qantas project only had access off East Cotati Avenue
and Railroad Avenue and that traffic would become bogged at
Old Redwood Highway and Railroad Avenue resulting in additional
traffic on Willow and Eucalyptus Avenues,
John Formasi, resident of Willow Avenue, was recognized and
expressed that lie was concerned about traffic on Railroad
Avenue. Mr. Formasi informed that he makes a pick -up and
gets back onto the roadway at Railroad Avenue and he noticed
a traffic problem at this time. In addition, he hadn't heard
any mention about water. He asked if the City planned on
using well water, if there would be any guarantee that the
homeowners' wells wouldn't dry up and briefly commented
on his experience with a well in Petaluma.
Mr. John Kline, 8886 Lancaster Drive, was recognized and
commented that at the last Council meeting there was talk
about drainage under the railroad tracks. He had contacted
the engineering department and found that nothing had been
approved concerning drainage, therefore, he felt that all
the steps hadn't been looked into. He also inquired how the
amount of traffic could be determined for the roadway connecting
to Railroad Avenue if it hadn't been constructed yet.
Mr. Davis was recognized and explained that a master drainage
plan had been prepared by the Sonoma County Water Agency and
that the Crater Agency had negotiated other drainage crossings
with the Northwestern Pacific Railroad and this is what the EIR
proposed.
Mr. Kline also asked what the project's impact would be on
the community of Penngrove. He felt that it may very well
generate traffic through that area.
Susan Reynolds, 514 Santa Alicia Drive, was recognized and
stated that she didn't feel Mr. Davis had addressed her
previously expressed concerns about using the project area
for housing for Sonoma State University's needs. She pointed
out that there was a current housing; crises at the university,
one which it was doubtful the campus housing could fulfill.
She informed that students were not able to obtain low income
housing in this community and thus were forced to live elsewhere.
Miss Reynolds felt that the EIR could address the sociological
effect of the project and it's impact on Sonoma Grove next
door. She 'informed that people are commuting long distances
to attend S.S.U. She wanted to see approval held up until
it was determined if the development would meet the sociological
and housing needs of the community, the people who live and
work here and the people who attend S.S.U. She informed that
her data showed that there was approximately one child for
every two people attending S.S.U. More than any other
California campus.
Page 9 July 9, 1979
Discussion followed between.Miss Reynolds and City Council
members and during which City .Manager Callinan inquired if
Miss Reynolds was representing S.S.U. or .herself and how the
City could get a'copy of the housing study she had previously
mentioned.
Miss Reynolds informed that she was speaking on her own behalf
although she was a member of the S.S.U. Student Housing
Committee. She informed that she had prepared the housing
study mentioned and that she didn't feel that the EIR had
responded to the needs of the student community.
Mr. Del Davis expressed that he felt the speaker had a valid
comment, but that it was up to the Council how it wanted
to limit its consideration of the project's impact. He
thought that it might be appropriate to include these types
of comments in the Housing Element of the City's General
Plan.
Adrian Swenson, 897 West Railroad Avenue, was recognized
and reminded that she had made comments at the hearing concern-
ing West And East Railroad and Willow Avenues and that it
was her opinion that these issues were not adequately answered
by the EIR. She noted that the EIR estimated that approximately
50 vehicles would use the West Railroad off ramp, but that
there was no indication of how that figure was arrived at
and, in addition, the EIR commented that the project would
take place over a period of years, but that the law required
that it address the cumulative impacts of the project and
provide mitigative measures in the EIR document. She said
she couldn't find any mitigative measures in the EIR. Mrs.
Swenson informed that there had been a considerable down
zoning of the land uses in the area of west Railroad Avenue
as the result of a recently completed land use study. The
people had preferred to maintain a rural atmosphere and
were concerned about the impact of traffic. She also noted
that there were no pathways for pedestrians, bicyclists
or horseback riders and inquired who would pay for these
installations.
Mr. Tom Elliott, 367 Eucalyptus Avenue, was recognized and
cautioned that any project which was started without an
adequate foundation may never be completed and that the
residents in the area would have to live with the consequences.
He informed that the roadway on the west side of Railroad
Avenue were deteriorating and that additional traffic would
only contribute to this deterioration. He commented that
with passage of Proposition 13 many more years may pass
before . the roadway would be repaired and there was also
the problem of flooding and runoff water and traffic using
Fern, Willow and Eucalyptus Avenues for shortcuts thereby
endangering children and pedestrians walking along the roadway.
Page 10 July 9, 1979
Charles Kitchen, 4457 Hollingsworth Circle, was recognized
and expressed his opposition to the project. Ile felt that
Rohnert Park was adequately providing for low income housing
and that the project was an example of private enterprise
gone crazy. He felt that if we continued along the present
growth and building trends that we should rename the city,
"condo city".
Mr. Davis responded to comments made by the various individuals.

Page 11 July 9, 1979
Mr. Earl Willow was recognized and informed that he had
worked out a rate schedule and plans for providing a
comprehensive bus system in Rohnert Park, Cotati. and Penngrove
as well as the outlying areas. He explained that his business
associates desired to have a Certificate of Public Convenience
and Necessity so,that a feasibility study could be undertaken.
He estimated that it would take 3--6 months to get the system
oft the .ground,.
Mr. Earl Bailey, Rohnert Park - Cotati Yellow Cab Co., was
recognized and commented that he didn't know of any intra-
city bus system.;n the U.S. that wasn't tax subsidized.
He informed that he was presently applying for transportation
monies so that he,could offer a 50� taxi cab fare in the
Rohnert Park area and that the taxi cab company couldn't
afford to lose.any customers because it just now is operating
on a paying basis. He didn't believe Rohnert Park was ready
for the type of service proposed by Mr. Willow. He asked
that.the City Council,put off the matter for six months
to allow him time to investigate a subsidized taxi cab service.
