Noteworth Information:
1. Canopy project is finally fully underway with the sales office open. Permits for the first four buildings (18 total units) have been issued and first three buildings are going vertical. First building has passed frame, insulation, and sheetrock and is working toward finale units. All four buildings have complete foundations and are either being framed or beginning soon. All utilities are in the street and inspected for phase one. Grading for Phase two, which is the remainder of the project is scheduled to begin in May and be completed before next rainy season.
2. Gravenstein Commons is installing underground sewers and water lines. All pads have been poured, and framing is happening on all four currently. Vertical walls have been going up on all buildings, with roofs being installed currently. Sewer and storm drain and water have been installed on-site with all utilities having been connected at street with the exception of storm drain.

5. Petaluma Av house that has been sitting for a couple of years un-inhabited will be demolished as we meet with owner this week and worked out plans for demo and re-build. Still may be a few weeks before we see actual work on-site, but the process has begun to get approvals for new construction New primary house with ADU over garage.
6. Letters did go out again the week to the Mary’s Lane trailer, Millers Oil site strongly asking both to clear those sites. Hopefully we will get some response this time and I can try to talk them into cleaning both sites, even though we do not have an abundance of tools in this area.
7. We have been receiving numerous complaints about the smoke coming from A&M BarBQ almost every morning starting around 5AM. We are monitoring the air quality in the area continuously, and un-fortunately so are all the neighbors. While the air quality is good most of the time, every morning from about 5AM to 8AM the air quality does move into the unhealthy area. A letter has been sent to A&M letting them know the issues and informing them they are exceeding their allowed use. We will be working with them over the next few weeks.
