Amador County – The Sutter Creek Planning Commission canceled its regular meeting Monday and will resume work on the Gold Rush Ranch & Golf Resort’s specific plan when 2 of its members return from vacation. Commissioners Frank Cunha and Robert Olson missed the last meeting July 13th and are still gone. The commission is looking to get through clean-up work at its next 2 meetings, and discussed that earlier this month, and planned a lot of work in 2 meetings in August. Commissioner Mike Kirkley said they need a “meeting with all 5 commissioners to discuss General Plan consistency” of Gold Rush’s specific plan. Consultant Anders Hague told the commission that mitigation measures were put into a single package at the end of the document’s conditions of approval, “in order to keep the measures clear.” The commission must go through those conditions. Hague said he is “working on the timing of the Development Agreement,” including when a tertiary water treatment plant has to be built. Gold Rush’s Troy Claveran said Gold Rush would be obligated to pay $8,760 dollars per lot for recreation impact fees. In discussion, they said language for parks included land “adjacent” to Gold Rush, which could be housed outside of the current development area. Sharyn Brown asked about noise control for a commercial area in Gold Rush. Hague said that was handled in the mitigation measures. Commissioner Corte Strandberg said construction noise was prohibited on Sunday. It is allowed from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays, and during weekday business hours.
