step forward. Mr. Boggs stated he wished to speak on the
negative impact of the overpass which would decrease the
property values of the area and recommended that a better
location would be at Wilfred Avenue because the traffic need
is to get on and off the freeway, not over the freeway. Mr.
Boggs also stated that at the Planning Commission meeting
when the issue of the overpass came up, the Planning
Commission unanimously denied it.
Rohnert Park City Council Minutes
_7_ June 14, 1988
Jim Redding, 7147 Barbie, was recognized and stated that at
the Planning Commission meeting, only one person, Mr. Boggs,
spoke against the overpass and there were only three Planning
Commissioners present at the meeting, and the issue is the
reason for the overpass and the Planning Commission should
foresee not only growth but traffic circulation as well. Mr.
Redding asked the Council to look at the map and the amount
of level vacant land west of the freeway and the substantial
future annexation requests the Council will be faced with and
stated it would be important to have an additional east /west
access over the freeway and suggested that before the Council
take the overpass out of the General Plan that it should tho-
roughly review the traffic studies done by the City staff.
Mr. Redding also illustrated how having a plan line benefited
the City of Rohnert Park more than Western Business Park in
that he and his associates based their development plans on
the State Farm Drive plan line and that they could have come
before the City with a different street alignment-that would
have served them better instead of the City as a whole. Mr.
Redding urged the Council to look at the City and the
undeveloped land surrounding it before turning down the plan
line and based on the project the Council just approved, it
should leave the overpass in the General Plan.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Hopkins
closed the public hearing.
City Manager Callinan stated that staff recommends the
adoption of the resolution establishing the plan line for
it is better to plan for it and not need it than not to plan
for it and then need it.
Councilman Lepinski referred to the map and made comments why
the overpass is not in a good location.
Discussion followed during which City Manager Callinan stated
'if the City Engineer, Planning Director and the City Manager
are proven wrong about needing the overpass, no one suffers;
but if they are right, and the right of way is not reserved
for the future, then everyone will suffer.
Councilman Hollingsworth suggested that the Council take a
look at the traffic studies.
Mayor Hopkins stated that he felt that building the overpass
is not the best solution. City Manager Callinan _indicated
that the Council overruled the best solution. Mayor Hopkins
asked that staff get back to the best solution. City
Manager Callinan replied that staff has to work with what it
has since staff cannot go back to the best solution without
tearing down Mr. AoggS•';,building. Mr. Callinan also stated
for the record that he did not receive a single complaint
from anyone, other than Mr. Boggs, about the dirt mound.
Rohnert Park City Council Minutes -8- June 14, 1988

Hollingsworth and made the motion to bring the matter back at

and stated he needed to make a correction on page 5,
paragraph 1, which should read "On or after July 1, 1989..."

Dear Mr. Brust:

c.... Q8 c4.B1"respOrfi1 eI"`a'�.Es
This is in response to your May 9, 1988 letter requesting that
Caltrans handle design and construction for realignment of the
northbound on -ramp at the Route 101 /Santa Rosa Avenue Interchange
north of Wilfred Avenue in an area which is likely to be annexed.
As shown on the attached freeway agreement map, the existing
roadway configuration provides a straight alignment for off -ramp
traffic and an alignment with short radius curves for frontage
road traffic. As discussed at our May 3, 1988 meeting, the City
and County propose to extend the frontage road to the south and
straighten out its alignment at the off -ramp, as shown in red,
and the ramp could be realigned as shown in green.
The purpose of the ramp realignment would be to accommodate the
frontage road realignment. Frontage road realignment would be
for the benefit of frontage road traffic. No benefits woud re-
sult for off -ramp traffic. Currently, there are no operational
problems for off -ramp traffic. The existing configuration of the
roadways conform to the freeway agreement. For these reasons,
any off -ramp modification would e 100% locally funded under cur-
rent a i ornia ransportation Commission po icy.
Currently, the normal process for development of a locally funded
interchange modification project would begin with Caltrans prepa-
ration of a Project Study Report. This report would include dis-
cussion of compatibility of proposed modifications with ultimate
development of the interchange. Caltrans would then prepare a
cooperative agreement covering design of the project, normally
providing that the local jurisdiction furnish all data for and
prepare drafts of the Project Report and Environment Document.
