Fulton Avenue Planning Workshop 1/12/10

The Board of Supervisors created a Special Planning Area (SPA) for Fulton Avenue between Arden Way and Auburn Boulvevard to allow more flexibiility in land uses, especially to allow for commercial and mixed-uses on properties zoned for auto uses only. To accomplish this, a Special Planning Area Ordinance was drafted on November 4, 2009 from input received from area residents, business owners and property owners for this project. A workshop has been scheduled for Tuesday, January 12, 2010 to hear comments and concerns regarding this draft. For more information about this project or to submit comments please call Rebecca Boschee or Tricia Stevens at 916.874.6141 or email boscheer@saccountynet or stevenst@saccounty.net. The draft SPA can be accessed via the internet at www.planning.saccount.net.

Suspicious Vehicle

On Monday, 12/16 at around 11:30 am a 1986 older white Jeep Cherokee with wood veneer side paneling, license 1RZU877, pulled into a driveway on White Oak Court. The driver was a caucasian heavy set female with dark hair and the passenger was a caucasian male. When a neighbor drove toward the suspicious vehicle to address the occupants they drove away at a high rate of speed. These folks were clearly up to no good and most likely in Sierra Oaks to commit a crime. Keep your eyes out as they may be back in the neighborhood to do their Christmas shopping.

Package Thefts Continue

A package was recently stolen from a front porch on Gifford Way. SONA's off-duty patrol officers are on the lookout but we should be too. Pay attention to strange cars and pedestrians. Alert our off-duty patrol officers to anything or anyone suspicious by calling 243-9453 or emailing sona4@sacsheriff.com.

Crime Alert!

On Saturday, 10/31/2009 , in the afternoon, a dark colored mid sized sedan going south on Royce Way abruptly stopped in the middle of the street next to a parked truck. A young male, perhaps in his twenties, possibly Southeast Asian or Hispanic, jumped out of his car and leaned into the open window of the truck then jumped back in his car and sped away. We contacted the homeowner and the workman that had the truck reported that his cell phone charger had been cut and his cell phone stolen. This was reported to the sheriff and our street's neighborhood watch but is a great reminder to keep your vehicle windows up and doors locked at all time.
