The potential for erosion and subsequent effect's on surface waters is particularly prevalent whero the proposed road Comes in close proximity to two of the drainage swales which traverse the property Con parcels 2 and A). While standard Public Worts conditions would requite drainage as for the road construction, �Ur,cels Of this size do not requi7 anent solution for drainage. ,.terofore, any runoff or erosion G i with the road could enter the dvainage swales and eventually rea Creek.

AP 61-08-143 8. This project does not appear to conform to the conditional criteria of the agricultural residential general plan designation as set forth in the Land Use Element of the Butte County General Plan in that the project is not located Close to major commercial services and schools, The closest high schools and major commercial services are located in Oroville 20+ miles away. Additionally, comments from the Department of Fish and Game indicates this project would not conform to the policies of the Land Use Element text regarding Protection of wild 11fe. This project will represent an increase in density of dwellings in the area the current density of generally, 40 acres plus per dwelling unit average, to approxi- matoly 5 acres per dwelling unit (eight times as dense), 11. See item 8. 13a. The project will add an, estimated 25-35 trips per day to Bald Rock Road. 13c, f. The proposed location of the road is adjacent to a 60 -foot feet title strip which serves as driveway access to a residence located on a parcel to the south. This will result in a strip of land approximately 120 feet wide which will be devoted to roads and driveway accesses. The driveway locatod too close to a road approach could cause traffic hazards. It is also Possible that, through the design of the road and road approaches, that separation of the toad and driveway could. be as much as 80-90 feet. A better design would, be to obtain rights over the neighboring 60 foot fee title, strip, or to abandon the driveway on that section of the strip and use the proposed road as access to that fee title strip. If neither option is possible, then. special design considerations at Bald Rock Road may be necessary. 14. Though not significant, this project will represent an incremental increase in, demand for public services in a rural area. 16a, b, Power and phone lines w & ill have to bo extended the new parcels and homesites . 16d.

The McCart TPM proposes a split of 100 acres into one 70 -acre and three 1.0 -acre parcels. This area is dominated by mixed forest and chaparral. The Kennedy TPM proposes a split of 65+ acres into a 4.65 -acre parcel, a 32.4 -acre parcel, and a 28.26 -acre parcel. This area is dominated by mixed forezt. Portions of the existing parcel support small orchards. The Freeman TPM proposes to split a 26.4 -acne parcel into three five -acre parcels and one x.1.4 -ache parcel. Dominant area vegetation is mixed forest with some chaparral.. All parcels e in critical, winter range of the Bucks Mountain. Degr Herd, and we _recommend these projects be held in abeyance until the Deer Committee submits its report and the County adopts a land -use policy to protect deer winter range. The TPMs can then be modified to conform to that policy.

The present zoning is A-5 (Agricultural, 5 acre parcels). The Land Use 'lana Map of the ButteCounty General Plan designates this area as Agricultural, Residential.
