The Sutter Creek Planning Commission
this week held a public hearing regarding traffic concerns at the Farmers
Market. The hearing was scheduled in order to update the Conditional Use
Permit approved in 1995 and to incorporate past changes into a new document.
The meat of the discussion concerned the removal of the barricades which are
currently placed around the
farmers market to restrict vehicular traffic. Some members of the public feel
that the barriers are too restrictive of public accessibility to the market,
and should be removed. The commission, however, did not feel comfortable
opening the market to thru traffic, and recommended that the barricades stay in
place as stated in the permit. After some discussion, the conditional use
permit was approved unanimously by the commission.
