We would point out,once

It is a very small parcel of the North Coast and it has been and continues to - be privately owned land. The plant and p r o p o s e d park landscaping will improve-the

He said the Sonoma Coun-ty Planning Commission "has said our plant would be com-patible with the area's master plan."
