November Update - Gas Station Proposal @ 5300 Sebastopol Road

[Woody]

Good Afternoon Wacco Community,

Here are some brief updates regarding the proposed gas station at 5300 Sebastopol Road (Llano Rd. & Hwy 12):

First: We do not expect the 5300 Sebastopol Road gas station case to come up at the Board of Zoning Adjustments in November. The next regularly scheduled meeting where it may come up is Dec. 12, 1pm.

Second: The main thing we need right now are letters to the Press Democrat and other local papers. For the PD, email letters of no more than 200 words to [email protected] Include your full name and home city for publication. Include you address and phone number. Letters that do not include a home address and daytime phone number will not be considered for publication. For other local papers - Bohemian, Gazette, Sonoma West Times & News, etc., please visit their websites for instructions.

Important note: we are not providing a template letter purposely. We have reason to believe that planning commissioners and others are discounting letters that appear to be from the same template. All you need to do is write a brief letter that says you are opposed to the gas station in your own words. Our handout that has some bullet points is attached.

OK, that is all for today. I hope to meet some of you at a rescheduled Wacco Picnic! (???)
Thanks,
-Woody
