FUNDRAISING: OUR MISSION TO SAVE SHOLLENBERGER

MARGIE HELM - CITIZEN OF THE YEAR RECEPTION (APRIL 3rd)

WILL RAISE FUNDS FOR FRIENDS OF SHOLLENBERGER

After actively participating in the County's review and approvals process over the past three years, the City of Petaluma, several community organizations including the Petaluma River Council, Friends of Shollenberger Park, Madrone Audubon Society and Petaluma Tomorrow, along with thousands of individual citizens are frustrated and disappointed that the Dutra Asphalt Plant was approved by County Supervisors in a 3-2 vote.

The Plaintiffs (The City of Petaluma, the community organizations listed above, and several individual citizens) have exhausted all other remedies with the County, and are now seeking judicial review of the approvals process and the impacts of the project itself.

See articles in the West County Gazette summarize the lawsuit and its strength.

Shirlee Zane and Valerie Brown were each strong and determined in their voice voting to deny the Dutra asphalt project, however Efren Carrillo switched sides and voted to allow the project to live for another day. EMAIL EFREN AND LET HIM KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS CONTACT EFREN ON HIS FACEBOOK PAGE FOR AN EXPLANATION Dutra's concessions do nothing to answer the jurisdictional issue of whether County Supervisors have the right to re-zone, to industrial use, the parcels located in a voter mandated scenic view corridor. Only the voters can change this zoning designation. Lowering the production capacity of the plant lessens, but does not eliminate the toxic impacts of this asphalt production facility on a wildlife preserve, 22 schools, hundreds of residences, and 150,000 visitors (and growing) to Shollenberger park per year. Foregoing the recycling part of production still leaves recycled tires (used for rubberized asphalt) in piles on the property. Excessive noise is still created at the
