IIIi DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
1b, 3boil Disruptions, displacements, compacton,and overcoVering of
the soil wou)4 occur from the proposal. The project may -have
potentially significant effects in terms of increased runoff from, storm-.
" Vaters. Howe'ver, the proposed 261 wide streets and the number of pro --
posed houses in relation to open space reduces the magnitude'of these
factors. Mitigation gation measures are included f or,, drainage and lot coverage;
by buildings or other structures.
The drainage solution for -the western portion %f th1.s property is to
be coordinated with the State of California, Department of Water Re --
sources,
is : The amount of grading should. be minimized due
to the design of
building sites and roadways in relation to the land contours.
I e : The Saf ety Element, of the Butte County General Plan shows this
area as, one with a high erosion potential. The erosion potential
may be high iri the areas of steeper slopes (over 30f) though overall
the erosion potential is considered moderate. Mitigation measures are
recommended for erosion, control.
1h: The project site is located about three (3) miles northeast of
The Foothills Shear Zone from thee* 1975 Oroville earthquake, The
possibility of a major earthqualto may expose people or property to
geologic hazards in the future.,
A low to moderate landslide potential is also noted. (Source: Seismic
Safety and Safety Elements of the Butte C6unty General Plan.)
Ra: The project would contribute to the degradation of ambient air
quality as a result of vehicular traffic, use of power machinery
and use of fireplaces. The local, effect of increased amounts of carbon
monoxide, particulates; and other pollutants emitter. into the air is
not expected to be significant._
3b: Sec items 'Ib, 3b
3c: Drainage easements wild be needed from the west side of the
property through State 'owned land to convectwith culverts along
Canyon Drive. The main, type of off-site drainage, improvements are 1.
expected to be the installation of larger culverts along Canyon Drive
where needed. }
4a: The proposed design of the project has purposely avoided heavily
vegetated areas. Substantial loss of vegetation is possible
though not probable in this case. It is recommended that the native
vegetation be retained wherever, possible.
{�lpperadix F -- page 3
f•L�c: It is recommended that any suppl1e±ental landscaping for the resi- t�
denct s utilise native species toll be compatible with the surrounding
vegetation and to enhance Wildlife ha�itat.
5a, o, d: Wildlife habitat, would, be 'reduced by the proposal.,t The
numbers of wildlife species in t1:Ge area would be t4d.uced
in relation to t,46'carrying ',capacity of `adjacent habitat areas. The
value ,pf this site far wild"life purposes has already been reduced due
to suvroianding devplopmentN.
6a: Tliove would be an increase in noise levels cauno(I by residential
type noises - operation of motor vehicles and rnta.ohinery, human
-voicen, etc. This increase in noise. levels is not c;Xpected to be
oubstantial, ;due, in part, to "thc loth density of about 3.'I dwelling
units per acre.
Sbi. The PAC and tentative subdivision proposal" woj�.ld be compatible
a with the adjacent properties and land uses.A higher density,
develo,ment couldhavebeen sought under the R-3 zoning and General
Plan d.esignati`on for the area.. However, due to the various -constraints
of the property-axnd specifically the topography, the present PAC pro-
posal is .ons of the most viable projects that could have been proposed
f or the s' t e
A; proposal ith a higher density of dwelling units would be possible,
but such ap3�oposal would cause an increase in paten°Bally sa gnificant
environmenta 1. effects. Coverage of more,'of the ' laird by impervious
surfaoes, in�i�eased drainage to the State-owned lands to the west, `the
possible need for, wider roadways within the siuodivision, and removal
of a number of mature, trees would be among the effects which could
occur.
A lower density development than thepresentproposal would be another
alternative. The present proposal provides adequate open space; areas,
designates building areas so as to minimize tree removal and the need
to alter, `the landscape, and provides interior road. oircula` ion along
existing land contours. ,From an economic and environmenta] standpoint,
the present proposal appears to, be reagbnable without inoil.ifying it to,,,
a lower der..sity development,
9a, b Natural resources, some nonrenewable, would be involved in the
project. The construction impact on natural resources would be
short-term; the continued use of natural resources (wood for fire-'
places, gasoline for cars, etc. ) would be a long-term effect.
11: The proposed density of, 3. ;dwelling units per a(re is less,than
the maximum allowed by the General Plan. Up to'08 dwelling
units per acre would be allowable under the General flan designation.
A higher density development would be difficult to accomplish on this
site due primarily to the topography and physical fea,tu.res ,
13 a, ;f: The ine.i;;,,"Ase in traffic generated by this proposal would vary
from, abo`i",`400 to 580 vehicular trips per day. if the future
residents are mainly retired persons, the pro j ec•ted amount of traffic
Appendix F page 8a of 9
would be.lower. The current traffic counts in the area show an average
daily traffic (ADSL) of 623 on Canyon Drive just south of Royal Oaks
Drive/.0ro Dam Boulevard and an, ADT of 369 on Royal_ Oaks Drive just east
of Canyon Drive.
The proposal would bee expected to cause �
a tie �
� a '100/ or greater increase in
traffic on Royal Oaks Drive above present figurer, and; a proportionate
increase on Canyon Drive and other nearby •roads. Road improvements
are necessary to mitigate the effects of the�tifi,�.,: .
-� cas ed traffic and
to provide for _traffic safety. A.. left-turn lane from, Royal Oaks Drive
to the subdivision is recommended by Public Works. The design of,
the emergency g y access opposite Oak Hill Drive is also an important.
f eatu.re.
3' Two parking_i7paces per dwelling unit plus 0.5 guest parking
spaces--,,)Per dwelling unit are included in the proposal.
13c., The impact of the proposal on Royal Oaks Drive and other nearby
roadways is discussed under items 13 a & f.
13d: One point of access to the subdivision is currently provider.. The
emergency access near Oak Hill Drive would become a second access
and egress point during emergency conditions. Pages 12 and 13 of the
Desin Study g S dy discuss the traffic circulation aspect of the project.
1iha - f :
The proposal would increase the demand°,for public services.
Most of the public services are currently
available in the
nearby area and could be extended to serve the proposed subdivision

Dear Mr. Nelsons
On Friday, December 22, 1978 1 conducted an archeological recon-
naissance of three properties located within Butte County. They
7 01
are as fo1,1ow8t
Al. Saxon- AP# 71-05- located 12 miles west of Feather Falls
in the Southeast � of Section 15, Township 20 North, mange 6 East.
The 36 acre parcel is, characterized by low rolling hills rcivered
with yellow pine and dense manzanita
'Alfred, Dozier - Ake 73.05-31:, located southwest of the intersection
o Old Forbstown 'Road (Eddy Ctj 'sand Robinson Viill road' i
^ n the
Northwestern of Section 20, Township 19 Forth, Range 6 .East.
J
The 22 acre parcel is characterized by a soutzl facing 'basin with
a stream along the west boundary' of the property. The vegitation
consists of yellow pine, shrubs and grasses. Approximately 30%,,
of the proper;y, has been recently disturbed TY develoPrenl activities.
Southern California Vinancial Corpera.tion - Apff 34-01-29,and
34_04-9gr located overlooking Orovill.e Dam in the `'Southwestern
Of Section 1, Township ig North, Range 4 East. The 19 acre parcel
is a minor x^idge(south of the dam covered with oaks, shrubs am
grasses,
prior to my reconnaissance I consulted the archeological site
record files maintained at California State University, Chico to
determine if any known archeological sites were located within
p �, previously
the properties, de;�cribecl above. No sites: had been. rev`ious
recorded.,
Nay r�.connaissace of the thx^ee properties was complete in that
all areas that could reasonably be expected to contain materials
of archeological. or historical value were inspected. No archeolo-
gical or historical sites were observed during my inspection of
the properties and it is recommended that archeological clearance
be given, to all of the,,parcels described above.
Sincerely,

REQUIRED MITI GATION MEASURES
1beet the requirements of the Butte County Fire Department.
Install fire hydrants at 'the six -locations specified. The
fare hydrants shall meet the flow standards and requirements ,,of tYse
County Ordinance as admit dtcrZd by the Faire Department.,
2. Dov°elapm;ent to obtain water from Oroville-Wyandotte Irrigation
District and sewage disposal from the North Burbank Public Utility
Dista.-,Ict.
3. Submit roadr and d.raina.ge plans to the Department of Public Works
1'or approval and. install the required. facilities.
lb. Obtain drainage easements and flowage rights from the State
of Cal.ifoi'hia, Department of Water Reso_uroes for property to the
west,, of the project site along Canyon Drive,
3 Erosion control measures shall be adhered to as por the require
menu of the State Water Quality Contro--. Board. Erosion control
measures are as follows;
a. Underground utility and earthwork construction will be
prohibited during periads of extended inclement weather
in order to minimize siltation originating from raw
earthwork. Prior to the close of the construction
season, all earthwork areas will be shaped to promote
or encourage sheet flow conditions and all disturbed,
areas will be seeded.
b. S=%r ace runoff flowing to the streets will be conveyecT
in roadside paved gutters to drop inlets or down= -drains
at low points. Storm flows will be conveyed under streets ,
in culverts. Storm fl,ow's downstream of streets and across
lots will be conveyed, where possible in eyi.sting natural
drainage swales. This decision will be based upon an
evaluation of the agility of the native; soil to support storm.
water flows without significant erosion. Large rock uncovered
during earthwork operations may be randomly placed in stream
beds to reduce hydraulic flow energies." 4,%erev`er i t appears
that the soils would be subject to excessi-tre erosion, such
concentrated flows will, be carried in buried pipe or lined.
channels. Use will. be made of energy dissipaters wherever
warranted in order to reduce excessive velocities,
c. Out and fill slopes will be seeded' by methods such as
"hydro -mulch.'
d. Construction roads, side and rear lot easements and other.
areas 'where natural vegetation has been removed or deli-
troyed during the course of construction will be seeded
in a manner similar to the cut and, fill slopes.
,r
,appendix 2`. page 8d of 9
e. Storm runoff will be, concentrated 'as little as Pt ssible,.by
making'maximum use of existing natural drainago swales sand
channels.
f. Silt traps will be constructed if and where feasible
r
g. A minimum amount of clearing will be performed, that is
consistent with County and other governmental regulations.
"h. All excavated material than is, permanently placed whether v
in engineered fills or disposal sites, etc., shall be
compacted and, shaded to minimize erosion and saltation.
i. Construotion materials including spoils shall not be.
stockpiled in or immediately adjacent to swaloo or
channels.
(Note The conditionslisted,for erosion control are the same
as those ,approved by the Subdivision Committee and
Planning Commission during their consideration of'Kelly
Ridge Estates Unit # 5 in '1976.
6, Native trees, shrubs;;and groundcover shall be retained except an
the actual areas of physical development and as needed for fire
protection purposes. The excep-61on to this condition. would be trees
that are dead or dying.
7. All house structures and any appurtenant buildings shall be
Located within the designated -'building envelopes. The total
building coverage within the envslope shall not exceed 75/ of the,
available space. F
8. The emergoncy exit looated west of Oak Hill Drive shall be bi6oked.
off in such a manner that emergency vehicles and the vehicles of
the subdivision residents'could readily utilize the roadway during
emergence conditions.;
0
9. A left -turn lane with adequate pocket capacity shall be constructed
at the Royal Oaks Drive entrance tri the°subdivision in accordance
with Public Works' standards.
10. Building design standards shall take into account the geologic
hazards of the locality.

11 IV DETERMINATION
(To be completed by, the Lead Agency:l
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
i
0 I find the proposed prcject COULD NOT have a significant
effect: c;n the environe�ent, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION
is rEcb `mmended' -<
I find that although the proposed project could have a
sOnificant effect on the environment, there Will not
be a significant effect iyi this case because the
mitigation measures described on an attached sheet
have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION
IS R.EC0=1TDED
0 I find the proposed pro`;,ectr MAY have a significant
`'`effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT`
