To keep the process moving, however, and'with the Board's concurrence, I am prepared to focus on three distinct issues today.

The letter to Ms. Kathy Kellyyfrom the Department of Fish and Game claims that "development of lands on designated wint(o range into parceis''lest than 20 acres minimum will adversely affect migratory deer use. The cumulative impact of the proposed rezoning request will result in a significant adverse impact upon, p deer use of their designated winter range," The final EIR for the General Man (page 168 - Department of Pish and Game, Appendix T and Appendix U) shows that the Department knew of the JOSSL of over • i+ originally believed 1,4000 acres of grasslands on f�;ht i'�orth and east, that this loss to be significant, but that upon reconsideratldn, it agreed that the trade -off in the 9eneral plan of saving riparian habitats on�tbe west Was a ` su eHor -environmental goal and "losses of wildlife _ - p g_ . i habitat �n the. grassland area east of Chico will be, less significant than would occur in riparian areas or other critical habitat t res.

Prior to subdivision, the Butte County health Department (or other authorized agency) will, approve ail proposed residential ots for on-site septic systems and lot sizes will be determined on the basis of' this criteria, except that no lot shall be smaller thah three acres. One lot will contain approximately 15 acres and will have access either from one of the two cul-de-sac streets to bo�built or from Panorama Drive: This lot will be used for gtazing. There Will be grazing easements over all of tho Undeveloped portions of all residential,lots, which will be utilited'in conjunction with the grazing lot. Cattle guards Will be installed at both dui--de,sac street intersections, so that the existing "Chinese wall" will remain as an effective fence. �n addition to establishing the °"ranch') character of this subdivision, the grazing easement will provide the means to control grass fieet (see Map 3). 0.rivate covenants, conditions and restrictions will prohibit accumulation of nuhooresidentially appurtenant build higsw equipment; supplies, etc: to maintain. a very high quality residential environment.
