"A Notice of Preparation (NOP) is being issued to notify interested parties that an SEIR will be prepared, and to solicit feedback on the scope and content of the analysis in the SEIR." "The proposed SPA 3 project would amend the West Roseville Specific Plan (WRSP) to accommodate 1,661 additional residential units (586 Low Density Residential units, 609 Medium Density Residential Units, and 472 High Density Residential Units) in Fiddyment Ranch Phases 2 and 3. The project would affect approximately 815 acres of land generally north and west of the Blue Oaks Boulevard/Fiddyment Road intersection. The revised land use plan will not change the footprint of the WRSP, but would redistribute certain land uses (LDR, LDR (Pocket Parks), MDR and HDR, CC, P/R, OS, P/Q-P, and Right-of-way) within the project area. We urgent ALL residents to attend and ask their questions about this huge change to the West Roseville Specific Plan. Download the Notice below: Notice of SEIR Scoping Meeting - SPA 3.pdf -

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 WFFNA Planning & Development Committee will begin early meetings with the city and the new owners management staff (Signature Properties) in early February.
