Amador County – The Amador County Transportation Commission board of directors approved an agreement with Sutter Creek and the Petrovich Development Company on Wednesday that should open the door for the building of Walgreens on Ridge Road in Sutter Creek. ACTC Executive Director Charles Field said the agreement was being drafted by the commission’s legal staff and it would be based on an e-mail agreement draft he sent to Sutter Creek and the Petrovich Company’s Wanda Doscher. The board approved Field to sign the written agreement, pending legal completion. Field said Petrovich hopes to go to work at the site and begin building a Walgreens there. Sutter Creek Assistant City Manager Sean Rabe (RuhhBay) said Petrovich is “hoping to pull a grading permit (this) week and start moving dirt.” He told the board it could delay the prokject if it disapproved of the agreement. Supervisor and ACTC Board Chairman Louis Boitano said it is also “putting people to work.” Rabe said the city is supportive of the project and excited to get the Walgreens built. The agreement allows Petrovich to pay a Regional Traffic Mitigation Fee of $1,200 to ACTC. Rabe said the total reduction of fees is $88,000 dollars. The agreement includes right-of-way, frontage improvements and fee credits, as discussed by the ad hoc Transportation Policy Advisory Task force. The right-of-way is required for the highway and intersection expansions which were determined to be needed by a Traffic Impact Study of the Crossroads Shopping Center. Credits will be given to Petrovich for the right-of-way property, and supplant the Regional Traffic Mitigation Fee payments. The ACTC board unanimously voted to have Field sign the document when the legal team finishes drafting it. Sutter Creek approved the Crossroads Shopping Center in 2004.
