The commission put in long, hard hours And came up with ar ttonc,ise a plan as they could. She was speaking of the problems in the south Chico area. She wanted to prevent, cutting acrnsu propPrt7. That type Of Line is not defensible. To have a lire that cuts across boundaries will be 6�ei to controversy from now on. She was in r gne for the south Chico area. She thought favo•, of the Plarinzn COCainmission 1 that most of the property owners in that area were in favor 'of the corJznissian line. She could not speak for the test side area. 3. Sob West, 1316 Arbutu84 sir.

He felt that if the property was kept in large parcels, the children who are raisedin the area will not be allow to build a horde r e a on the property. Five acre parcels would allow for a green are stir -rounding g residences and allow for some breaking up of property. He relt maybe the line should go down Butte Creek to encompass the Garden Esquon areai if they are going to have residential development for the Durham area, it would be wise t;o have some type of land broken up: He "set nut his property on the map 5.

The map does not contain his property. The Fara; Bureau was involved in the coalition and John Roney was the chairman of the Farm Bureau's land use committee. The policy of the Farm Bureau has also had as a number one p"riority, farming. The saving'of prime agricultural land and soil is farming. He felt the coalition did a great deal of good work in researchi.rig. They worked months andmonths the help with input to the Board and Planning Commission. He felt the 'Farm.. Bureau offered expert opinions and testimony. The Farm Bureau agreed to endorse the coalition line as drawn as well as the coalition text. Chairman'Wheeler asked Mr. Santos to tell the organizations that were involved in the coalition group. Mr. Santos stated he t4ould deer to other people for the answer. He knew of three principle organitdtions xepresenti.ng a broad spectral, ofand :the people and that. is rhe Farm Bureau, Cd,lifornia �lomen in Agriculture, te(end r Chico area Chamber of Commerce. The Farmers :fid Hoc Committee also worked on the coalition. The coalition came about with the defeat of Reasure A relative to the preservation of agricultural land. it Eras born with the recognition of the need to solve a problem that is not a new issue. The Rreenline started neRt to Chico and mistakeswere made in the past by other Boards. There is a need not to duplicate and comI ound those mistakes at this time. There is an excellent opportunity to set a precedent for agricultural; industrial and urban areas. if the Board misses this opportunity; they may 'never gent ;a chance like this again. ',.Che coalition is the. key because people ate finally working t6gethex)` who have warred in the past, These people have unofficially put aside their difference of opinion," both political and economics]., to work for the betterment of the total commudilty in Butte County ,for, growing and continual growth. Supervisor Sara'ceni asked Mr. Santos how the Farm Bureau arrived At their vote on the coalition line. Mr.Santos stated that the Farm Sureeu .Hoard of"Directors rioted on the coalition line. This is a 56 member hoard. The issue has been discussed. The laud rise•_ tommittee discussed the issue and brought Che information 1%ack to the board of directors for a decision, The Farm Bureau is fortunate to have a group that works in land use matters that has a Planning Commissioner on. their board of di"r"ectors to give then an overview of all the problems. The, decision to become a member of the coalition was acted on by the board and the decision to go with the coalition view and lite was acted upon by time board of directors, 9. Firs. Coates, firs.

Mr. Rorey advised that the 'Hoard had received a letter about the coalition membership which includes the Butte County Farm Bureau, California Women in Agriculture, the 'Farmers Ad Hoc Committee-, and the Butte Business Alliance. They support the coalition line. The Chico City Counsel and Chamber of Commerce have supported the coalition line. The Chico Board of Realtors, Chico .2000, and thr, Chico League of Women' Voters have also supported the coalition line. kfr. Roney submitted an aerial bap of the south Chico area as an exhibit at this time. ;He asked that the Board look at.the,map and the agricultural. lard it represents Whatis at stake is hundreds of acnes of agricultural land that comes down :ii.dway and is fa=ng land. Thew has been talk about ',including this in the urban designation. T:he overridin8 criteria used to establish the line Was soil. He set out the dredger tailings, rocks and Balwl n Contracting Company. ThP-4e was other criteria used for establishment of the �mwliti.on line in addition to soil., which was parcel size and zoning. .iey did not want tG downzone property. The Baldwin property is zoned industrial. The Board of Supervisors in 1978 made the, statement that urban development in south Chico would stop at Entler Avenue: The Board now has a chance to fulfill that commitment.

Hdgar stated that last Suitter they presented the Planning Commissz, on with inforMation relative to Midway Orchards, tie has sent a copy of that letter to the Board. They presented f ncial data on the orchard. The people who dive in south Chico have almost universally said thane are serious physical problems with the soil is that area. The people who live to the west of ►,jjdway have said the land is gond land: He agreed that the land west: o Midway q4i� good !and, The land east of Midway, Orchards and north of the Coro -Chico Highway is lint good land. That is the fattier crook atea for tette Croaki It was used fox dredger tailings', The .Butte Ctoek Rock area is the same, 'He set out ,photos of the area showing that this is nut vlable farmland and is reflective of the arida. Tbd soil is ue:ry shallow on Midway Orchards vith two and three feet of covet over rocky base. On zidway orchards the rocks 'are literally on the ground, the soil j` has a low ph factor.

Many things used i'n farming are'no longer available as they (ate ten years ago. There is a serious problem of bacteria canker in the orchard. it is indicative of the soil being poor in nutrients. The other areas of the orchard to the ast have serious problems with drainage.

Exhibit E-2 shows the information furnished by Monarch Laboratory>. He read ;the findings. Bill.Molan of the agricultural extension service described. mole canker. The trees in the orchard are about one-half the size that they should be. The almonds never came to maturity. He presented an, updated petition at this time. The: petition, was originally signedinMarch 1",5, 1982. Baldwin Construttioa and Dan Drake signed the original petition. They are supporting the coalition line now. Since that date :there are several other people who have signed t'he;petition. He referred to the back page of the petition Which has a map. The yellow color are those that signed in Match, 1981, The green is property that signed after that date. He was of the belief 'that Mrs. Smith sent a letter to the Board in support of the Planning Commission line. 'what is listed in this petition is virtually 100 percent of the ;-land, Area in that area. ithdy people are saying they do not want to be in an agricultural preserve He set out the area of the signers of the petition., The greenline is not a development line. It is not a line that says that' too days after the drawing of the line that a bulldozer will appdar on the dant side. Whdt the line does say is that this is the actual line mor agriculture: There are people in the community saying they want A commitment for a twenty--,year line for the zoning pr6cj?k-�aes: He asked if the.

There is soil conservation for five billion tons of top soi? per year. if the erosion figures are correct,. the conservationists are spending money for things thatatenot done.

Mr. Cottingham stated that people have made reference that they do not want to see Butte County become another Fresno County.

From data from the Dagdrtment of Agr%culture Commerce Census Bureau 21 of the 100 leading counties in the United States in agriculture are in California. Riverside is the fastest growing county in Califo=id and is involved in farming. This Game magazine shows that the almond crop for this year will be 11 percent larger than' last year.

California is number three in the naCian t. ��gricultural production with Iowa being number one and Iilinos being , 3ber two. The coti:nGry is glutting the uiar'icet with agriculture. They have to limit the hop'py farmer because he comj�etes with the commercial farmer. The ovetseas countries :are now protucing ,��r culturally. As a result the market has been glutted.

'Sr. Morehead stated he was speaking for 90 percent of the landowners of concern immediately to the City of Mico who have owned, five, or ten acres for up to fifty years. They want to protect their property, from the greenline that has always been west Of, them. This land is west of town and not prime agricultural soil -round and not viable farmland.. The soil might be classed as ulna and Columbian loam. The land has been in the family for over 107 yeara and :gas subdivided over fifty years ago. He has farmed the property for thirty, two years. The land completely around his property has become more and more urban and less :agriculture. The property adjoins the city limits to the east with subdivisions of high, medium and low density to the east, south and to the west. The property enjoys almost all the amenities of the city. It is impossible to farm this land because it, is too close to an elementary school anti adjoins the city limits and high density dwellings of ,the city, and Chico State. There .are hundreds of people who must drive around his property and sometimes trespas's through the property. Farming practices in the area put people in danger because ,of dust, dirt, mud, wet roadsand sprinling water. This makes dangerous and hazardous road conditions. There are poison sprays that art! used and traps aind poison for eradication of rodents. There is light and heavv farming equipment,. Because of heavy population and traffic there are problems with pruning,, burning, tutting—of brush, frost, control practices, noise. At harvest time, it i impossible for the orchardist to ,protect their crop. The property has electricity, sewers, schools, 'roads; stop signs and cable television.. He felt the Platring Commission had made a correct and logical Appraisal, ;for all the people involved, He was speaking for seven property' owners on the west side o£ Chico. 1'i, Ni-ck Bertagna, Rt. 3, fox 188, Chicon i1r.`"Bertagna stated he farmed from five acre parcels ori the ;Sorehead property up �o a 125 acre parcel on 'Hagen Lane.

Irrigation The Chinese lace was Just north at the Little Lpa'duction by Henry Compton and was sold several times. This was named for the daughter and son of %It. Lorenz. Portions of the land were dredged. The area that has the cement ditch went over the ditch portion of the old Little tutte Creek. The water right on that particular irrigation ditch is the oldest in the State of California. Mr. Wright acquired the water rights out of Little Butte Creek. The channel has been changed a:,.little.

Mr. Lew felt all you had to do was live on th e land. young, Mr. Levy decideu to do something about the orchard and set a match to the orchard. Mr. Sloan tried ,to buy the proPerty and he put ,it back into shape: That orchard was some 60 years old at that ime.+ Mr. Henaman bought the property and leveled it and bought new trees.

He'assured us it would be ,a 'beautiful subdivision- And an asset to , dway. No subdivision would be an asset to Midway or farming operations in the area.' Atf there 'are 200 houses with families who had children and dogs them would be 'problems for the orchards in thearea: There cannot be dog droppings in. the Almonds or the entire amount is discarddd: Children cannot be ru,�nin$ over the spri`riler system or there will be no system.

To say.they intended to farm and then have plans fdet a subdivis oia and will not sell the property for fattiftg purposes; sti.e feTC. they had something MARO 0PSvmvxsoft15Jot ary ► else in mind for the property: Bob 'West now owns 46 acres of property that she and her husband purchased from the Compton property, Part of the property was in old orchard and part was in green fields. The property was full of rocks and had not been leveled. They pulled out the old orchard and leveled the property and planted a new orchare. It was a Tittle inconvenient to farm but was a good looking orchard,. Mr. Vast purchased ':the pooperty and in three yearspaid for it with the crops from that orchard. To say, the Board, is willing to have this area included in urban land means; that,because people are across the street as allowed by the Board, would tie to allow land to be put into small areas everywhere in this area. There is something like 1,400 acres of good farmland. :midway Orchards has the same type of soil. as that orchard owned by Mr. Westd They all know the area has , -big rocks.

If a person purchases a ranch, they can sell it and b.uy some otherarea. If a person is a subdivider, they figure they will make money quick. The next thing they know, this will be a San ,Tose. She felt, the Board should: understand the value of agriculture and agricultural laid must be taken care of now. Mr. Cottingham quoted some things but did not quote how many acres of farmland were lost to development. She reminded the Board About the Bntler Avenue Subdivision and the portion that had `been in orchard was -lost.- There were about one dozen piste .hie tress on the Midway and pecan. ,trees on Entler Avenue lost: The man who was farming that orchard was told hot to take care ,of the orchard, he had 11.:p tight to harvest the orcharr, but not to do anything to maintain it. Aev if the land was not ma',.ntaited a person did not live. The pranii6L 'Wds made that if the subdi-Asion was approved there would be $150,000 for A. persons laid, A widow Lias pressured into signing the petition and a threat vias made to close a right"oi-way Supervisor �hnston was on the Board when the antler Avenue Subdivision..tms approved and the Boatd was wined and. diced Add Supervisor Winston sated the Board would let 'the subdivision on Entle.tAvenue go through but they would hold the line, She felt that prime agricultural ! nd south of Entler avenue wostld be 'the !ine.

He urged the Board to seriously consider the coalition greenline and text. 22. „Terry Brandstatt, Rt- 2 Box 172. X- � .x. Brandstatt stated that his grandfather farmed in the west Chico area in' 1920 and 1.930. Primarily the crops were prunes, peaches, etc.. His concern was that the greenline is the agricultural viability of the land and hoped the Board would consider not only the present crop but the future crops. As soil. becomes more important, they will probably ,see newer crops were it is no longer feasiblz: to grow almonds.` An example of this is in the kiwi crops. This ,drop grows best in class one soil. His first drop of kris was on one third acre and was planted five years ago. The crop_ had four tons of kiwis., He has g q g h _ no problems with .1js nez hbors. In looking at the whole concept of soil conservation, this is a unique situation in Chico because of the soil class,_ water and climate. There are landowners next to the greenliine who are concerned about small parcels ,and do not want to replant ;in almonds. He felt these people should consider growing kiwis,,or leasing, to kiwif__: 'The cost of planting the kiwis is $$,000 to $1.0,000 per acre and tarmers. is easy to get $thd c 'to $]5,000' ;,dr acre after five years of growth. He supported the coalition greenling. The city sits on the top of an alluvial fan. He would be in favor of any line as close to the center of land as possible. 8a set out his property on the map.

John Chamber, 9726 Lott Road. ar. Chamber stated he was speaking on behalf. of Jim Estes. This property is in the Comanche tract � railroad and is.a small area. No one seems to object to this piece of property within the urban area. There are trucks trying to go through the orchard and joggers going through it4 No one is debating the quality of' the soil..

He has heard testimony about the marginal roil but over the years has watched new orchards being pl8mt.�ed in peaches, pistachios, walnuts and almonds which are growing and producing. The problem with having the greenline go down Midway is that according to the Director of Public Works all the highways and bridges in that area are substandard for the present development• Should the. Board add 700 acres of subdivision, he would like to know where the money will come from to upgrade. the "highways and bridges and solve the problems of children: riding bikes to town dawn Midway.
