Locate ear o ur am, the TSM area supports aitat:ure galley oak tress and is within the foraging territoxy of Swainson's hawks which neat southwest of the project: site. Oak woodlands are a particularly important habitat because they provide ntost of the essential life sustaining requirements (e.g., food, shelter, nesting and roosting sit®s) needed by numerous animal species. There ,has been significant cumulata.ve louses of oak woodlands in Califatni a due to residential, commercial, and other developmenv projects, To mitigate the project impacts on oak woodlands, these restrictions are needed: 1. No oak tree removal except that required to px uide space for buildings and associated accessuries and to meet hoalth send. safety standards'. 2: Est:abl'ish a no disturbance ;setbac:k, commencing from the outer edge of the oak tree canopy and extending outward a distance equal to one -;half of the canopy radius, around each tree.

Subdivision Map Gentlemen: This letter is being submitted in tecponse to your notification that these projects may have potential adverse impacts to the environment. We hereby address the concerns as delineated on your environmental checklist form. We respond to each ,of the items on the checklist marked "yes" 'or "maybe" as follows: Iten) * IWe have dont a soil's `Investigation o11 the site and have found the soils to genferally be as shown on the soils Map of Butte County. A copy of a portion of this map is attached herewith, along With d(Oscriptiohs of each of the property soil types. The property as shown on the map iridicates that the predominant soil type is',,Vina Clay Loam w�th patches olnVadditon and aiaing the westerly bounds shown t,e found that Anita Clay Adobe, underlain by cemented gravel beds, extended from i:he east to the t,Ao>',theast corner of the property. All soil -s on the site are generally,overlaio by 12 inches - 36 inches of dense sticky clay, These soil types indicate that thi's project would not cause a loss of "prime" agricultural land, Prime ,agricultural lands are pherally considered to be of the Vina Loam sories, Farwell loam series and other fine foams. These onsite soils with possible shallow groundwaters are very likely only suitable for ,pasture land or growing of glasses or grains, Items 3d & i* This property is located in Flood Zone A as shown on the PENIA maps, Any construction within this area must be in Conforilthnce with FEMA and gutte County requirements All structures erected must have finished floor elevations constructed above the 100 -year flood elevation. t , Butte County PlanrlTng Department April 10, 1990 Page. Twp �. Item 4b A 50 -foot development setback would be required from all areas of existing creekside riparian habitat. Item 4c_& dz The minimum proposed parcel size of 5 acres will, allow, for the construction of approximately 28 new 'homes. Although these constructionswillundoubtedly introduce some new plant species through new landscapes, parcels of this size will maintain a very i suburban nature. It is likely that any 5 -acre or larger parcel will be a hobby farm with raising of animals and crops similar to what is being raised on the land as it it^e.sently exists The land has had corn and winter forage mix grown on it the last several years. Winter forage mix is a combination of grasses and grains, It is likely that a certain percentage of these crops would be maintained depending on the number of acres of pasture land required by new owners. This land has not been farmed to provide tree crops due to limitations of soil quality. Items 5a b &_d: The preservation of existing habitat along creek banks shoOd be preserved with use of a 50 -foot development setback Department of lash and Game personnel will review the site as it Pertains to habitat for the Greatet' Sand Hill Crane. His comments and/or report will be forwarded to the pTanning Department upon its completion.

We 'have done a sails investigation on the site and have found the soils to correspond well to the soils map of Butte County. 0 The map iiidica"tes that the predominant soil type or the property is I Vina Clay Loam ,.ith patches of Vina Clay Loam Adobe. and Vina Loam along the westerly boundary. In addition to 'these soil types we found that Anita Clay Adobe; underlain by ce.i.tented gravel beds, extended from the east to the northeast corner of the property. E All soils on the site are generaTly overlain by 12 inches 4 36 inches of dense sticky clay. `These soil types Indicate that this project d would riot cause a loss of "prime" agricultural land Prime agricultural lands are generally considered to be of the Vina Loam I series, Farwell Loath series and other, fine foams. The onsite soils F with possible shallow groundwaters are very likely only suitable for pasture hand or growing of grasses or grains<. The zoning allows a minimum parcel size of 5 r'tcres on this property; indicating that the property will at least maintain .some agricultural value if even only to raise grazing grasses for livestock.

These changes could lead, to ,uta increase in water erosion of soils on-site and subsequent discharge into surface waters; Because of the relatively large size of the lots, erosion from building sites should not be is concern. Road :construction will cause the greatest impacts to drainage and drainage ways in the area, but will be adequately mitigated through standard road design as required by the Butte County Department of Public Works and FEMA, Culverts and other drainage improvements `will be installed as required by the Department of Public Works. Ig: Approximately 158 acres of prime agricultural soils will be removed frbin the Williamson Act and are proposed for subdivision into 30 parcels ranging from 5 to 9 acres each, This will effectively remove this land from any potential for economic agricultural prcducton. 1h., All of Butte County is located within a Moderate Earthquake Intensity Zone VIII. The subject property is located approximately 3 miles southwest of faults associat&,; with the Foothill Shear Zone which supported the 1975 Oroville earthquake. Construction of buildings to Uniform Building Code Standards for seismically active areas should provide adequate protection to occupants in case of seismic activity. 2b: While the project will not create any objectionable odor, smoke, or 'flames other than smoke from fire places and other residential burru'ng, the subject property is located in close p.venxim:ily to a daityy farm which at times creates objectionable odors. Occupants of any tinbdivisio.n or other development would be exposed to those odors., 30: e sv'c,:et-k prnnerty `is located in a Flood Zone A as shown on the Federal Emergency ')Maaaage tne.nt Aigoty (FEMA) maps. Any road construction and btAlding sites will have to :meet FEMA requ ttajwif.; fne construction. in a flood zone: 4b: The southwesterly and ""westerly yx)undaries of the property are a creek that supports riparian habitat Rernoval from the VAlliamson, Aci rt'M ,not directly affect the n'p.�an habitat. Subsequent subdivision of the property could affect ril ,yi n habitat unless a no- development setback area is established,. The Californ;.:. Departmew of Fish and Ga.ifte ,generally recommends a 50 ft. setback in such. cases: 4c: A change of the property ;from field crops to residential u3es will introduce new plants into the area as landscaping. 4d: Approximately 158 acres of field crops will be lost to suburban residential development See also Item 1g: 5a,b,d: !Development of residential uses on the property may affect the riparia ti habitat along the creek to the west and southwest of the property. See Item 4b: The easterly portion of the property is shown as an Area of Special Biological Importance (ASBI) on maps provided to the Butte County Planning Department by the. California 1 Department of Fish and Game. The area is a potential habitat for the Greater Sand Hill Crane, which is an endangered species. The property should be surveyed by a qualified Biologist to determine if the subject property is valuable habitat. It is recommended that th;,; applicant contact the Department of Fish and Game regarding their requircments for development in such areas'. 5c: Development of 30 homes in the area will result in the introduction of residential pets into the area. Pets can include, both dogs and cats, either of which could be detrimental to bird populations in the immediate vicinity. Gb: Development of 30 homes in the area will expose residents of thesubd4,;;»U:an to noises associated with rural farming activities such as plowing, harvesting, crop dusting, etc. Since, these are of a seasonal nature, these impacts should not be significant. 8 The property currently is in agricultural production. Thi: proposed two projects will result in a change of this use to suburban residential. This change must be considered irreversible. Additionally, the project is proposed'n an area where the only similar activity is located to the northwest. As such, this project will represent a significant intrusion of suburban residential uses into what is now an agricultural area. The Butte County General Plan Land Use Map currently shows this area as Agricultural -Residential; However, the site designation criteria of the General Plain indicates that the Agricultural -Residential designation should be applied only to property that is not within flood plains. While several other designation criteria are met by this property, for inclusion in the Agricultural Residential designation, an analysis of the Orchard and Meld Crop site designation criteria indicates that the property is better suited for inclusion in that designation. The site designation criteria ;for Orchard and Field Crops are: 1. Soil conditions well suited for plant crop operations, y p p p ('I'he ulna laams on-site are excellent crop producing soils.)' 2. Adequate water supply. (The property is located in an area of abundant valley aquifers.) 3. Predominant parcel sizes of 5 acres or more. (Predominant parcel sizes in the area are generally 20 acres or larger) 4. Used for crop production or secondary uses. (The current use of the property is for crop production.) 5, Adjacent uses compatible with primary and secondary uses, (Primary and secondary Uses include cultivation, harvest, storage, processing, sale and distribution of all plant Crops, special annual food crops, animalhusbandry, and intense AAmal uses. Surrounding uses to the northeast, east,, south and southwest all meet thee,.: w- Cteria.) It should be Hated that the five to six, acre parcels mentioned above and located to the north and northwest of the subject property have not been developed yet. They were approved December of 1989 based on Board of Supervisaers finding of conformity in 1987, Since that finding. the Durham -Dayton -Nelson Study Area has developed several. ,different alternative plans affecting this area. None of those alternative plans would retain the existing 5' acre zoning. 20 and 40 acre zoning for this area has been recommended by all the alternative plans except the no -project alternative. It should also be noted that the existing Agricultural -Residential designation on on the General Plan was retained from the 1971 land Use Plan Map 0 i while the policies in the text were adopted is 1979. The ,record clearly shows that the Board of Supervisors, in adopting the plan in 1979, intended the policies to take precedence and that the Land Use Plan Map should be studied in detail in the Durham area. the Durham-Dayton-Nelson study is a result of tl)r4 direction by the Board in 1979. 11,12: See Item 8. Development of 30 parcels of approximately 5 acre each will act as an incentive for other property owners in the area to embark on similar projects. 13a,c;f: Development of 30 residential parcels on the prbperty will generate from 200-300 trips per date onto Durham Dayton Highway. This will represent a 10-15% increase over existing traffic levels. This would most likely stili result in a level of service A under most conditions. Total traffic volume would be approximately 3000-3300 ADT with 'a Level B of service occurring at approximately 5000 .ADT. Capacity of Durham-Dayton Highway could be ,increased by improving the road to County standards for arterial roads. The current construction of Durham-Dayton Highway does not meet those standards. ,'Phis. project will represent an incremental increase in demand for mai,-terance .and a similar increase in traffic hazards; We 'i his project will ;represent an incremental increase in demand for public services in a rural area. 14a The proposal will result inr an incremental increase in demand for fire protection in the area. The Butte County Fire Department/California Division of Forestry has indicated that cumulative development in rural areas will impact their ability to provide fire protection services. They have stated that installation of automatic fire suppression sprinkler systems in residential structures, the use of fire resistance building materials and water supply systems adequate to support the sprinkler system will reduce the demand for fire protection service. 19= This project will represent an incremental increase in demand for park facilities in the Doliam Par's District: II.
