Petition To Protect the Natural Beauty and Wildlife Habitat of Gallinas Creek and its Adjacent Neighborhoods The section of Gallinas Creek wildlife habitat and scenic waterway located on the property of The San Rafael Airport, currently owned by developer Joe Shekou, is scheduled for development into a three acre indoor soccer field sports complex. I, the undersigned, wish to voice my opposition to this proposed sports complex, because the proposed site is unsuitably located. This is the right project in the wrong place. Serious issues have been raised regarding: the site's close proximity to an airport runway. the developer's wish to sell alcoholic beverages on the site building. the seven day a week influx of traffic. the potential of vehicle pollution to adversely effect the creek during periods of rain runoff. the difficulty of emergency vehicles entering and exiting the facility over a single yet to be constructed bridge. the noise level introduced into a community that has existed for decades in relative quiet the unacceptably close proximity of the development to endangered California Clapper Rail habitat. the site's location in a flood plain well below sea level. I also oppose the City of San Rafael's intention to change zoning laws for this site. We strongly urge you, a trusted city official, to give serious thought to the message of this petition.
