The Sonoma Valley Citizens Advisory Commission (SVCAC) will meet next on Wednesday, Nov. 18, and will review revised design plans for a single family home along Sonoma Creek at 5350 ODonnell Lane.
The SVCAC first looked at the home design back in 2013. The .47-acre site sits on ODonnell Lane across from the Glen Ellen Community Church, and is in a flood zone. At that time, many neighbors expressed concern about the exacerbation of potential Sonoma Creek flooding. At that 2013 meeting, the SVCAC voted to not recommend county approval of the project.
Now the property owners are back with a revised design, saying that the changes they have made should address the neighbors issues and improve mitigation of potential impacts on the creek. Included in the revisions are changes to the projects foundation and porch, driveway and turnaround, and grading plans.
Also on the agenda is a request by the owner of The Fat Pilgrim general store in Sonoma to downsize plans in a previous development submittal involving the three retail buildings on the 1.4-acre property located at 20820 Broadway.
The SVCAC reviews development projects in Sonoma Valley and makes recommendations to the appropriate Sonoma County or City of Sonoma planning officials.
The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. in the Sonoma Police Departments Community Room, 177 First St. West, Sonoma. For more information about the Nov. 18 meeting or the SVCAC in general, contact Pat Gilardi, District Director to Supervisor Susan Gorin at pat.gilardi@sonoma.county.org.
