Mello Roos Presentation - at Oct 15th Annual Meeting
Admin posted a article in Development and Zoning
Mello Roos Presentation You should all have been notified of the Mello Roos special assessments we pay in our taxes when you purchased your homes. You can find these assessments labeled as CFD’s 1, 2, and 3 on your county tax bill. But do you know what they are specifically for? Are you aware that these special assessments are in addition to the regular tax rate paid by all Roseville citizens? Are you aware that ‘special assessments’ are supposedly not tax deductible like your regular county taxes although they are for the same type of services provided through regular county taxes? Are you aware of the duration of these assessments? CFD #1 may go until the year 2050; and CFD #2 and CFD #3 are permanent assessments. Mayor Susan Rohan has arranged to have representatives from the City of Roseville attend the October 15, 2013, WFFNA annual meeting to answer any questions you might wish to submit. Please submit your questions to MelloRoos@WFFNA.org by Noon of Friday, September 20. Your questions will then be compiled and sent to the City for research to present responses and possible handouts to your inquiries. If you want to research further before submitting your questions, you may find the full background of the assessments on the City’s Finance website -- query for CFD Mello Roos assessments. -

New Questions & Answers Roseville Electric Staff recently met with the Roseville Coalition of Neighborhood Associations (RCONA) and presented and overview of the Liquid Management System (LMS) project. Some of the attendees were unfamiliar with the project and asked good questions. Some of them had had been previously addressed on the LMS Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) webpage hosted on this site. However, some new questions were submitted via the liquidmanagementsystem@roseville.ca.us email address. Those new questions and answers will be added to the FAQ webpage. They are also listed below. If these questions stimulate other questions, feel free to use the project email address listed above, or call (916) 746-1699 to get your answers. Question and Answers What happens after the projected 20-year lifespan of the system if there should be no interim problems? Prior to the wells being constructed and operated, the EPA will require Roseville Electric to have Plugging and Abandonment Plans in place to safely decommission the wells. The required plans will outline all aspects of the decommissioning from the financial requirements, engineering, ongoing monitoring as determined and making the site look as it did prior to the installation of the wells. Do all the wells and equipment remain down there because there is no sure way to plug the fractures left behind? The only time that a fracture might be created is during step testing (required by the EPA to permit the well). The Step Rate Test (SRT) involves a series of constant rate injection tests, all with the same duration, with each successive step at a higher injection rate and injection pressure. The injection rate can be increased until the formation parting pressure is exceeded, at which point the injection pressure suddenly drops (showing up as in inflection point on the rate vs. pressure curve). However, the EPA does not always require that the parting pressure be reached, as long as the maximum injection rate and pressure attained in the SRT is greater than the desired operational injection rate (with a safety factor included). Having said this, any fracture produced in a SRT will be limited in size and should heal after injection ceases. The fracture shouldn't open again unless the formation parting pressure is exceeded again, which is not allowed under permit. All "equipment" will be removed from both wells, and then the wells will be sealed underground and capped according to EPA direction and the Plugging and Abandonment Plans. This will be done in order to protect surface water and underground drinking water supplies. Will the equipment corrode or deteriorate in the salt water environment, and what happens to the chemicals that have been dumped down there? The equipment will be engineered to withstand the corrosive operating environment. Additionally, there will be routine inspections, safety devices and maintenance performed to ensure any issues that arise are resolved in a timely manner. The injected water contains base constituents already found in the salt water aquifer we will be injecting into, but at a much lower percentage, and will remain in that salt water aquifer. This salt water is considered untreatable for drinking water by California and EPA standards, and as such the injected water will be diluted to such a degree within the salt water aquifer it would not be detected in a discrete sample. Will there continue to be perpetual monitoring to ensure future environmental safety afterwards? The EPA will require monitoring during the operation of the wells. They will also determine what type of monitoring will be required after well closure. The monitoring duration and frequency will be based on items such as:Historical well operation data Details of well construction such as depth and condition of well at the time of decommissioning Any reported safety concerns or operational failures during the life of the well or at the time of decommissioning. [*]While this may be the cheapest plan to operate now, how would it compare with future revenue loss or delays in home sales, and potential lawsuits for property damage, injuries, etc.? The presentation to the RCONA group highlighted the selection criteria used to determine the LMS as the best option. Cost was one of the factors, but not the most important as the list below indicates. The selection criteria included the following:The new process will improve our system reliability The new process will be financially prudent The new process must be environmentally safe and compliant The new process must be a proven technology, acceptable to permitting agencies. With proper engineering controls, direction from the EPA, and diligence in operating the process to the same high standard our customers already appreciate and enjoy with Roseville Electric, we do not expect to experience any of the adverse impacts mentioned in the question. 6. Your presentation at RCONA did not really address the other alternatives we asked more information about. Due to the length of the answer, it will be posted on the FAQ page by Monday, July 6, 2013.

WestPark-Fiddyment Farm Neighborhood Association will hold its 3rd Annual Neighborhood Garage Sale Fundraiser event on Saturday, May 18, 2013. The advertised time posted will be 9:00 AM through 2:30 PM. Both WFFNA and its participants last year were very pleased with their results. It provides an opportunity for the residents to recycle unwanted items while raising funds for future neighborhood events. In addition to participation in the city-wide events sponsored by the Roseville Coalition of Neighborhood Associations (RCONA), with events such as the Fourth of July Fun Run, Downtown Tuesday Nights, and Free Movies in the Park, and Santa in the Park [more details to follow on all events], our local neighborhood association, WFFNA, is planning to hold several of its own events, including an Easter Egg Hunt at Fred Festersen Park and National Night Out in August. These events are provided for the benefit and enjoyment of the residents of the neighborhood, but do require funding. Most Neighborhood Associations have found that they can fund all the year’s events with the funds raised by their yearly garage sale, and even smaller neighborhoods have near 100 participants each year. You keep all the proceeds from your sale items. The sign-up fee of only $10 provides: Advance advertising in at least nine (9) Tribune Press newspapers and at least two (2) websites (including Craig’s List); Your address & location plotted on maps to handed out at the major WestPark & Fiddyment Farm entrances; Help-you-sell package with balloons to put up indicating your participation, inventory list, and Garage Sale tips; ‘Donation Pick-up service’ truck from either Salvation Army or Wind Youth Services at a central location at 3:00 -4:00 that day for your convenience for those items not sold. Get your neighbors involved, and we hope you will find the Garage Sale a rewarding experience that you’ll want to repeat each year. If you can’t participate this year with the sale, we hope you’ll consider sending in a contribution instead and collect your items for next year. We could also use assistance distributing flyers, so please contact us at activities@WFFNA.org Reminder -- the deadline to sign up for the Garage Sale is Saturday, May 11th so that we may get our advertising out (need to include how many homes will be participating). We would like as many homes as possible to draw buyers, and clusters of homes on the map draw even better business. So please make sure you notify your neighbors so they can sign up. 2013 Garage Sale Sign-up.pdf

At the July 18, 2012, City Council meeting, representatives of Roseville Electric presented a proposal for the Roseville Energy Park Liquid Management System. The proposal is for Phase 3 of the system which would cover disposal of the wastewater generated from the power plant. As described, Phase 3 would consist of a 12-month process to obtain all the necessary permits and public outreach, to be followed by the actual 6-9 month construction period. The Liquid Management System would replace the current costly method of disposing of the wastewater, saving well over $1 million per year. The proposed new system would consist of two injection wells which would inject the wastewater to a low permeable salt-water level below the Aquifer system. Details of the plan were presented to the Council, and can be seen as represented to the Roseville Public Utilities Committee on June 26, 2012 and a FAQ from Roseville Electric at the City’s website. Concerns have been raised over: Long Range Effects -- how millions of gallons of contaminated water and minerals could just endlessly be dumped below the surface Potential fracking -- concerns over the injection process known as “fracking” and numerous claims of related earthquakes experienced even after the reported process had been stopped Safety Measures -- concerns were asked about the safety of the injection wells themselves and what safety measures would detect leaks into the fresh water aquifer Alternatives to this Plan -- question about other alternatives that were considered or possibly should re-considered The WFFNA Board encourages you to follow the proposed project, especially since this is right where you live. We have provided a few websites for your review here, but please let us know of any others which help express your thoughts or concerns with your responses to us.

For those that were not here 2009 and 2010 here is some background information on West Roseville Specific Plan (WRSP) - Specific Plan Amendment 3 (SPA 3): In November 2009 Signature Properties submitted an application to amend the West Roseville Specific Plan (WRSP) to add 1,905 residential units and 6.2 acres of commercial land within the Fiddyment Ranch portion of the WRSP. On March 3, 2010, Council adopted resolutions approving 1) a Professional Services Agreement for professional environmental consulting services and preparation of a Subsequent EIR (SEIR), and 2) authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Funding Agreement with the land owner (Roseville/Fiddyment Land Venture. LLC) for reimbursement of consultant costs and staff processing of the application. In December 2011, the applicant provided a written request to staff to discontinue processing the application due to financial issues associated with the ownership/partnership for the property/project. The application was ultimately withdrawn in October 2012. The new property ownership group, ATC Realty One, LLC, is now ready to resubmit an application to complete the Specific Plan Amendment, with one modification. The quantity of additional residential units requested will be reduced by 245 units from 1,905 to 1,660. With the exception of this modification, the new project description, acreages, and entitlements will be identical to the project submitted in 2009. The consulting firm of North Fork Associates (NFA) prepared the Subsequent EIR (SEIR) for the original Fiddyment SPA 3 project. As a result of a merger, NFA is now operating as Dudek. Since NFA (now Dudek) prepared the SEIR for the original project, Dudek was selected to prepare a Recirculated SEIR to address the revised project description for proposed Fiddyment SPA 3 project. The funding for the SPA3 SEIR work was approved by the Roseville City Council last night (January 16th, 2013).

Meetings with West Roseville Specific Plan (WRSP) Developers
Admin posted a article in Development and Zoning
Meetings with West Roseville Specific Plan (WRSP) Developers Members from WFFNA’s Planning & Development committee met with representatives of the developers from the West Roseville Specific Plan. Here are a few updates for you: Jan. 29, 2013—WestPark Associates Loren & Sue Cook and Chris Erickson met with Aldo Paneschi, John Tallman and Jeff Jones of WestPark Associates. They said there had been a recent resurge of interest from builders and they were going forward with proposed mapping changes for development in the Phase 4 area. They presented a tentative plan they will submit to the City soon. Here’s some items noted: high density facility moved out of residential area to a Blue Oaks entrance area high density facility could be built at 20 units per acre (agreements with City not to hold to 25 units per acre) school area redesigned so no home fronts would face school street would add 30 homes (minor amount overall with a better plan) infrastructure for Phase 3 should start 2013, and for Phase 4 in 2014 So this presentation seemed to be good news for the future of our neighborhood. February 11, 2013—Fiddyment Ranch SPA 3 (Specific Plan Amendment) Loren & Sue Cook, Amy Aufdenberge, and Joe Van Zant met with Steve Hicks of Signature Management Co.; Ron Miller, Project Planner; Katherine Waugh, Dudek (EIR Preparer); and various City and Signature members to discuss recently reactivated SPA 3 proposal. Here’s some items noted: Several of the High Density Residential (HDR) facilities will not have to be built out at 25 units per acre (F21,22,23,and 24); F6B and F8B will still be 25 units per acre. The Subsequent EIR now pending will include all original opposition submitted from WFFNA, and will include impacts from all areas annexed since the original EIR was done (including Sierra Vista and WestBrook, Creekview, and Reason Farms). Plan includes better street flow and access, including four Round- A-Bouts at intersections. Although density bonuses will still be granted for HDR builders, reduced parking allowance will not be granted—they must provide sufficient on-site parking. Loren requested the developers meet with the City for discussions of a possible police sub-station in this area. Although the overall plan is better than last presented, it still requests 1660 additional units (reduced from 1905 as originally presented). This is basically the removal of one HDR facility, not from any reduction of the housing density on homes. Sue Cook read section from 4.3 from the West Roseville Specific Plan which basically limits changes in increases or decreases of units to “not change by more than twenty-percent (20%)... as established at the time of original approval of the Specific Plan”. City staff said that just refers to developers not having to request specific amendments, but WFFNA members disagreed with that interpretation and still believe 1660 units exceeds that of the Specific Plan, without including subsequent SPAs already adding an additional 404 homes. Steve Hicks said Signature Management would like to present the latest proposal at one of our WFFNA meetings and will work with Loren Cook to schedule it for March or April. WFFNA will keep you posted.-

Here are some notes from the meeting and a copy of the AT&T handout. AT&T was going to meet again with the St. John's Church last Friday. They were to decide on the final location on St. John's property. Both examples they showed looked very nice and you could not tell they were a cell tower at all (see attached PDF). The St. John's cell tower should be done as soon as possible - definitely by the end of the year. There is another cell tower planned for 2014 North of Blue Oaks in Veteran's Park (city property). Both towers may have other carriers (besides AT&T). Hope that this answers most of your questions... if not let me know and we can followup with AT&T. CV0679-PHOTOSIM-2012-09-20.pdf We have been informed by the City that AT&T is proposing to build a cell tower on the St. Johns Church Property. We have invited AT&T Representatives to our February Meeting to present an overview of the project and answer any of your questions. The meeting will be at: Chliton Middle School Library (at the front right of the building) 4501 Bob Doyle Drive Roseville, CA 95747 The meeting is our standard monthly meeting and be at 7 pm on February 13th. Please plan to attend and get a first look as well as answers to any of your questions. Request To Locate A 60' Cellular Tower At This Site.pdf

The consulting firm of North Fork Associates (NFA) prepared the Subsequent EIR (SEIR) for the original Fiddyment SPA 3 project. As a result of a merger, NFA is now operating as Dudek. Since NFA (now Dudek) prepared the SEIR for the original project, Dudek was selected to prepare a Recirculated SEIR to address the revised project description for proposed Fiddyment SPA 3 project. The funding for the SPA3 SEIR work was approved by the Roseville City Council last night (January 16th, 2013). Attached below is the proposed scope of work for the SEIR including a schedule to the public circulation and then final hearings. WRSP SPA3 - SEIR Proposed Scope of Work.pdf We have also attached a map of the property now owned by ATC Realty One and managed by Signature Properties. WRSP SPA3 - Land Ownership.pdf At last nights City Council meeting WFFNA President Loren Cook requested: 1. that the Neighborhood Association be informed of any changes or scheduled public hearings (as we were NOT notified of this event). 2. that the over 400 emails and letters that were sent in to the city in 2010 be taken as the first round of input for neighborhood concerns on this new SEIR. 3. discrepancies we pointed out in the previous SEIR (2010) be addressed ahead of the public review. The WFFNA Planning & Development Committee will begin early meetings with the city and the new owners management staff (Signature Properties) in early February. If you would like to be a part of the committee or attend any of these meetings please contact Loren Cook by filling out the form here Thank you for your support in maintaining and improving the "Quality of Life" in the WestPark - Fiddyment Farms neighborhood!
