NA14E ADDR>✓SS PHONE NO. `..Z.. IVd� m AWk Letter to the Editor: Dear Editor .After reading the articles concerning the rezoning of,. -i-1,5 acre parcel" sectioned off from a 112 acre parcel belonging to Jin,,y%Arnol'd in Bangor, California, for the operation of a light manufacturing plant, I am appalled at the inconsistencies'of the Butte vounty7� Planning Commission and 'the Board of Supervisors,;; It is my enderstanding that rezoning by whatever measures it took to obtain it was applied for, My question is; Why was Mr. Arnold ,not informed of the°necessary requirements of an amendment to the ,t general plan', which I may add, is obviously outmoded, when he first {tl' applied? My next question is why must a person pay the fee to apply for rezoning and go through the procedureonly to be told at the time of denial that there are other procedures necessary to complete, t-he'first steps and then be told another fee will prob.ab77 be 'required? My next question is; Why in the name of all that is beneficial to this poor county, would anyone even consider denial of a non-polluting business which employs 20 people and will be bringing revenue in the form of taxes to this county? My neat question is: is it really possible; in,ithis land of free enterprise and initiative, ;that a few people, whose only objection seems to be that the machine shop building 'was coni►etCed from a " barn and they were not told of the conversion bo -k it took place, can possibly object so loudly that they have the right to destroy 20 persons livelihood? , Are these people productive enough to'nompensate for that? if this is all agriculture land,, what is the product? xt is my understanding that on 'most of the land in Bangor p"articularly, it is even difficult to grow'a goat. Then to,put the frosting on the caste 1 the supe visors state on one side that they can and will close this plant down then on the other hand that they will send a member of the county�counndl to negotiate Then they state that rlr. Arnold has the right to 'apply for an amendment to the general plan but they will not predict the outcome of the application: +j 0 r.;tt October 20, 1977 Dear Edi,or; I find it of Supervisors in handling thecase toen the.. actions of our board ` o£ the machine shop pre- sently operating in Bangor: In fact the whole thing reeks,,pf 'personal feelings overruling prudence. I have known Jim Arnold, since 1070 and recognize his­abi lity to barrage a bu,�siness such as that he operates in aankor-; ! have no d,ouEi`ts about his integrity,his Openness L,and his de, I sire to operate at a profit. Y also recognize that he can,.be.. abrasive when crossed, impatient to cut red tape and 044: J ta, t expand his business at,all costs. ,, None of these factors, nega tive or posit'ivo, am I able to criticize. I Ebel partly responsible for Mr. Arnold applying' for var,iance, as it was at 'my suggestion, as his banker, that he separate his `shop property from hi,s residence, in order to acs quire &ddx'tibnai financing without mortgaging his fai.ily. hone. If he had not done so and asked the Planning 'Comaaiss :on for Variance he perhaps would tiava been able to operate a little Longer without,, interference or harassment.. This property is., continually ro-ferreld to as -a DARN, but it has to be a Veryr expensive barn'. It is a new, all -acetal 'building, !fully insu- latod, completely concreted` floors and equipped pith aa2dern ;r offices and equipaeent, Y have visited this location as have some of the Supervisors and find it togbe so My contention is that why didn't the Sup;exvisears examine the petition ter. Arnold presented, containing 1S4.,,signaturos of his n ighbor �-in Batngorl regi®sting a zanimQ change? poly° four of hi's' neighbors refused to sign, e th g .. petition. Ydo not recom- mend special consideration for Mfr: rlrnald, but as public ser,, -, vents, why couldn°t the Supervisors find a way to HELP Mr. Arnold and his, neighbor's and endeatvor to kecp a` good payroll in the Countyl Because it does not adhere to the generel plialnt Perhaps the general plain should be examined. Y bell,eve that this area was originally cl'9ssified as kgri.cuiturnl for lack of any other classificati.o % i know of no farmers ma;krt!ng oany $Tea►t 11iving,,growing anything in 'that,, area. Is the gone,.ral plain so perfect tk:ait a rezoning cannot be connide;redY �lou1d11 Auk 8NTRAL _BANK i October 20, 1977 k�acC > greater,taxable income _ rue °to th,e, County if t:his kxoat were rezoned? It is my belief that there is s great lack of 'amicable communication between 'the'supervisors and (fir. Arnold, '•,anid thit w they should :Moth 'sit down and work out an sap,reevaent. In this light, don't expect that Mr. Arnold tai be agreeable to rem locating his business in a zone already classi,fiod co,a er^cial. With today's land and building values, this would prove`.to4 _ costly. I know that he has repurchased his old plant in' Sou the.rn, California, so if sufficient pressure is ``Fat)plie`d j we in Butte County can kiss off Ia 20-man payroll, and Mr, Axnold, will move back there.
