San Rafael Planners Must Settle Dispute An impasse in attempts for a compromise between Draper Companies and the Terra Linda Valley Property Owners Assn. will have to be settled by the San Rafael Planning Commission, association president Robert F.

The association is fighting a proposal by the developers of the Northgate Shopping Center to build an apartment project Studies Start On Flooding Formal project studies have been started on the Corte Madera Creek flood control project, the U. S.

Army Corps of Plngineers has informed Marin County officials. Acting district gi Capt. Donald A. Wisdom has asked that the county take steps to insure that new projects in the area of the creek are controlled so that project costs will not rise sharply by the time congress gets around to appropriating funds for construction. In 1961, when preliminary studies were made, the cost of the job was estimated at $6,950,000, including work on Fairfax Creek.

Of that, the federal government would pay $5,770,000, mainly for construction costs. Local jurisdictions would have to provide the rest. The local cost will mostly consist of purchase of right of way, including an area for disposal of fill. It will also include replacement of many bridges and utility wires and pipelines.
