(Ord. No. 3815, § 1, 2-26-2002) << previous I next >> http://municipalcodes.lexisnexis.com/codes/.butteco/ DATA/CHAPTER24/Article_ V_Sp... 4/14/2009 42 TTB Wine FAQ #11: What are the Federal Requirements for "Custom Crush" Clients and Winemakers? http://www.ttb.gov/wine/fag.shtml#wl 1 In a typical custom crush arrangement, a grape grower or any person with winemaking materials (the "client") -enters into a contract with a bonded winery proprietor to have the grapes processed into wine. The client retains title to the grapes, and the wine is made to the client's specifications. The finished wine is returned to the client for sale to other dealers, or the winery sometimes sells the wine on behalf of the client. TTB has received questions about the regulatory responsibilities of the custom crush client and the wine producer. The custom crush client may be required to obtain a Federal Wholesaler's Basic Permit from TTB. This permit allows the client to engage in the business of purchasing wine for resale at wholesale, in accordance with the Federal Alcohol Administration Act at 27 U.S.C. 203(c)(1) and 27 CFR 1.22. Although the client is specifically paying for the producer's services, the client has purchased wine (within the broad meaning of the term) at the price set in the agreement. If the client engages in activities normally associated with wholesaling, such as setting the price for the wine, determining which dealers will be sold the wine, and controlling and paying for advertising of the product, the client must have a wholesaler's basic permit. If, however, the client merely receives the proceeds from the sale by the winery of the resulting wine, a permit would not be required. ition to the basic. permit requirement themepecal�O tom crush client Who engages in siness of, selling,wine must submit Ve',7; ipational'TakR, egistratio .,� 5630.8R as,a_ :wholesales=t. if'theywine is=offered,for�sale Wother_dealers-7or;as,a r if the wine isonly offered for sale to consumers. Bonded winery proprietors must ensure that the receipt of winemaking materials and the ensuing activities associated with the production of custom crush wine is , properly recorded. TTB reminds the industry that wine produced for custom crush clients carries the same regulatory requirements for recordkeeping, reporting, labeling and taxation as wine made for the winery itself. The bottling winery is responsible for obtaining an appropriate Certificate of Label approval, and the wine premises which releases the wine to the client is responsible for payment of federal excise tax at the rate appropriate for the producing winery. For the purposes of determining eligibility for the Small Domestic Producer's Credit, all wine produced for clients must be included in the production and removal calculations (see 27 CFR 24.278-9). TTB Wine Industry Seminar - Trade Investigations Division — 2008 Page 1 of 2 Troester, Steve From: Ruhf, Marjorie D. [Marjorie.Ruhf@ttb.gov) Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 6:00 AM To: Troester, Steve Subject: RE: Winery ATTB Licensing Questions from Butte County, California Hello, Mr. Troester. We qualify alcohol industry members under two laws, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) for taxes, bonds, and some production requirements, and the Federal Alcohol Administration (FAA) Act for labeling and trade practices. The person who produces wine for sale has to qualify under both — they register as a bonded wine cellar under the IRC, which includes filing a bond to cover unpaid taxes on their inventory. They follow production and recordkeeping rules in our 27 CFR part 24 regulations. They pay tax on wine when it is removed from bond for consumption or sale, and (under rules we will publish soon) their bonded wine cellar registration also covers them as dealers (former Special Occupational Tax registration). Bonded wine cellars can be set up for just storage of untaxpaid wine, but if they produce, they are designated as bonded wineries (27 CFR 24.107). Bonded wine cellars and bonded wineries together are called bonded wine premises. If they produce or blend wine, bonded wine premises proprietors also need an FAA Act permit as a producer or blender, and that permit also covers sale of wine produced or blended by the permit holder. If they are purchasing wine in bond (either in bottles or in bulk) and reselling it to other dealers without further production or blending, they need an FAA Act permit as a wholesaler. Permits are covered under 27 CFR part 1. Bottlers of wine (either bonded wine premises or taxpaid wine bottling houses) need to obtain either a certificate of label approval or certificate of exemption from label approval (exemption is for wine sold intrastate), which are covered in 27 CFR part 4. If a vineyard owner wants to have wine made for him by a qualified winery under a custom crush arrangement, the winery would be the responsible person for our tax and labeling requirements. Even if the vineyard owner is providing the grapes and pays a fee to get the wine made for him, we consider him to be purchasing the wine for resale. If he is reselling only to consumers, we consider him a retailer with only IRC dealer registration and recordkeeping requirements. If he sells to other dealers, he would need the FAA Act wholesaler's permit and IRC registration as a dealer. If the vineyard owner wants more control and can agree with the owner of the processing facility, the vineyard owner can qualify as an "alternating proprietor" at the wine premises. They would both qualify as wineries with their own bonds, label approvals, etc. and file a plan showing how they would divide the premises and assure the wine would be kept separate. We just put out some guidance on this arrangement, which I will link below. TTB does not have a minimum production level for someone to qualify as a winery, and we do not have any different rules for large and small wineries. There is a tax credit for small wineries, and for purposes of the credit, a winery is defined as small if they produce less than 250,000 gallons of wine in a calendar year. The rules for that credit are in 27 CFR 24.278 and 24.279. Since you mentioned a tasting room at the vineyard, I'll tell you about our tasting rules. A wine premises proprietor can use tax-free wine for tasting on the wine premises under rules in 27 CFR 24.95. In this case, the tasting room will be some distance away. We sometimes consider requests to include a satellite location as part of bonded wine premises, but we would make that determination on a case by case basis. The facilities would need to be fairly close together for us to consider it. If the vineyard owner does not qualify the tasting area as part of bonded wine premises, the wine used in the tasting room at the vineyard would need to be taxpaid, and any sales there would need to be covered by dealer registration, and if the sales are to other dealers, by a wholesale permit. Here are links to the index of 27 CFR for the regulations I mentioned and the alternating proprietor information: hftp://ecfr.qpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx? sid=b46ea885f7ed5762e91 d80c50c2d 1 ab5&c=ecfr&tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title27/27cfrv1 _02.tpl http://www.ttb.gov/industry, circulars/archives/2008/ic2008_04.html Today, I will be available by e-mail until about noon, and then out.

Subject: Winery ATTB Licensing Questions from Butte County, California Dear Ms Ruhf, Thanks for your call back to me. I am a land use planner for the unincorporated land in Butte County in Northern California. We have had a request from a landowner for a "use permit' entitling him to develop a "winery" (vineyards only for the growing of the gOrapes) with the processing into wine to take place at a local processing plant, and a tasting room on the site of the vineyards, which would sell the wine produced from the grapes on the site. Our questions are: 1) What type(s) of ATTT Bureau license(s) or permit(s) would be required of such a "winery"? In researching your website it appears that perhaps a "Custom Crush Client (Wholesaler)" permit/license would be needed, as well as a Special Occupational Tax Registration Form 5630.8R? Which is it, a permit, license? 2) Does ATTT Bureau, or do the laws set a minimum necessary production level (bottle/gallons per year) to be licensed by ATTT Bureau as a "winery"? 3) Is the word "winery" defined anywhere in federal code? We certainly appreciate any clarifications you might be able to provide. Thanks much! Steve Troester, Senior Planner Butte County Department of Development Services #7 County Center Drive Oroville, CA, 95965 (530) 538-7153 (530) 538-2140 FAX 4/16/2009 Source: http://www.bergmanvinevards.com/glswn.html The first harvest is in the third year being approximately 2 - 3 tons of grapes per acre. When the vineyard reaches full maturity (in approximately 5 years), it should begin to produce from 4 -7 tons of grapes per acres, figuring an average of 6 tons per acre. A ton of Qrapes makes 140 - 165 gallons of wine. It takes 2.37753 (2.4 rounded off) - gallons of wine to fill a case of twelve 750ml bottles. Each ton of grapes will make 60 to 65 cases of wine (62 cases rounded off.) Butte County's 2007 (most recent stats.) grape production was 185 acres. At an average 5.5 tons per acre (mature vines) = approximately 1,017 tons Average cost per ton $150/ton (Butte County, "if' available) to $2,684/ton (Napa Valley). On average, 62 cases of wine are produced per ton of grapes. Butte County Code Section 24-263 requires a "large winery" to have a minimum annual production of 7,501 cases. 7,501 cases divided by 62 cases per ton = approximately 121 tons of grapes. Would cost as much as: $2,684/ ton X 121 tones (+/-12% of Butte County Total) _ $324,720/year. The- right to hold events is linked to actually having a "large winery". Therefore, staff would recommend that the Planning Commission place a condition of approval on this Use Permit, that the landowner is required to provide annual ATTR Licensing production reports indicating a level of production of at least 7,501 cases. r, s Page 1 of 3 Troester, Steve From: Troester, Steve Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 7:05 AM To: 'Jack Smith' Cc: Snellings, Tim; Calarco, Pete; Thistlethwaite, Charles Subject: RE: "Smith" Events Venue UP09-0001 Importance: High Good morning Jack, Thanks for the WORD version of your Project Description.

Here you go ... (I think? ... I am kind of computer handicapped ... I even have special disabled parking for me at Best Buy) If you can't open this, let me know and 1 will make copies and hand carry them to you. I appreciate you and Mr. Thistlethwaite coming by and explaining the situation. I am still smarting though, that I had to spend an extra $7,000.00 (+/-) on the vineyard...:... an enterprise that I didn't WANT OR NEED! As you both pointed out, it was the County's error not mine. I really appreciate and admire your honesty. As such, I "purchased" a full time job with the investment, having to attend to the vineyard that you saw. I am retired on a disablilty from the Police Dept. so I sure didn't want my "Golden Pond Years" to be spend weeding, spraying, and managing a vineyard. etc. I am 70 years old, kind of "long in the tooth" to start farming. There will be no return on the investment for at least two years so it was obviously uncessasary money ... and not very well spent. I have no idea how long it will take after I begin harvesting (in two years)for the vineyard to eventually show any sort of profit. Until then it will just be work to maintain it. I will be pretty much tied to the vineyard or else have to hire someone to take care of it. I have contacted my County. Supervisor (Mr. Lambert) to see if there is some type accommodation that can be accomplished by the County to rectify the situation. I am leaving that situation to his judgment. 4/28%2009 Page 2 of 3 Please understand that I am NOT making any sort of a complaint about you or Mr. Thistlethwaite... you guys were honest and forthcoming. I am sort of disappointed in Mr. Durling though, ....as you pointed out, he wrote the ordinance and was the person that told me ... (in no uncertain terms) that the ONLY way I could accomplish my goals was to establish.a winery...and a LARGE winery at that. (regardless of the amount of wine I produced, as long as I paid the permit fees for a large winery). I thought that was kind of curious at the time but he reiterated that in several phone conversations and meetings with me. As such, I blithly proceeded with the extra expense:...an expense that I could ill afford. With the cost of the vineyard and the permits, I now have more than $13,000.00 on the table. That kind of shot my budget for a while and I have had to re -finance my house to continue my original plans for an events center. The events center was my only goal at the outset of this project. The winery was only begun at Mr. Durling's behest. Please be assured of my continued cooperation with you and your office so we can get this project off the ground and up and running ASAP.

It is with the approval of the planning board that I desire to establish an events center as a venue for weddings, receptions, graduations, anniversaries etc. This will be along with and concurrent with a winery. The wine subsequently grown on site will be custom processed, bottled, and stored at a commercial winery in Chico. (Bertagna Wineries) The wine will eventually be sold through the events center and via other commercial outlets. Phase I (Commencing now) Phase I will be the establishment of the vineyard itself. This will encompass about 1800' of trellis' and vines. They will be irrigated by drip irrigation from the existing water system. This is ongoing now. Concurrent with that, some small construction projects are planned for Phase I. A) Build a small pergola (approx 12X15') suitable for wedding ceremonies. (sample picture attached) (See plot plan for approximate location) B.) A small concrete slab/patio area about the same size as an alternate location for ceremonies. (See plot plan for approximate location) C.) Installation of low -voltage outdoor lighting into existing trees and shrubbery for after -dark ambiance and safety. This will be done according to code by a licensed electrician. D.) Appropriate signage will include directional signs to parking areas, handicapped access, restrooms, etc .(examples on plot plan) D1.) There may eventually be an access to the property sign. This sign will be about 3X6' unlighted and will be at the entrance road to the property. It is not yet determined if this sign will be in Phase I or some subsequent phase.

It is largely use of existing property developed as a single-family residents and related structures for an additional use of conducting outdoor events. This initial study evaluates the impacts associated with conducting the events on site as identified in the project description. The closest existing residence to the proposed use is approximately 1,100 feet. Property to the south is and east is publicly owned. 4.1 AESTHETICNISUAL RESOURCES: Would the Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? X b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? X c. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or ality of the site and its surroundings? X d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the X area? 'Impact Discussion: The proposed use is limited to use of an existing site and does not include structures that would have an adverse effect on a scenic vista. There project would not result in removal or damage to trees, rock outcropping or historic buildings. The project is not located within a state scenic highway area. (see 1.0 Project Information). Events will be held in the evening hours. During that time, there is a potential for light to cast off of the project site. To reduce this potential, light fixtures related to the events (event lighting, effects, safety lighting) are required to be shielded such that light is cast down onto the property and no direct light onto adjacent property or roads. With the mitigation below, the impact is considered less than significant. Project Name: UP09-0003 Mitigation Measure 1: All lighting for the project shall be designed and located so as to confine direct lighting to the premises. A light source shall not shine upon or illuminate directly on any surface other than the area required to be lighted. No lighting shall be of the type or in a location such that it constitutes a hazard to vehicular traffic, either on private property or the abutting highway or street. Plan Requirements: This mitigation shall be placed as a condition of the Use Permit. Timing: The provisions of this mitigation measure shall be complied with at all times. Monitoring: The Development Services Department shall investigate and respond to any complaints of excess glare or light originating from the project site. 4.2 AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: Would the Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? Incorporated X a. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and X Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? b. Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act Contract? X c. Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion X of Farmland, to non-agricultural use? Impact Discussion: The project site is designated Other Land on the 2006 Important Farmlands Map under the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program. Other Land is defined as Land not included in any other mapping category. Common examples include low density rural developments; brush, timber, wetland and riparian areas not suitable for livestock grazing; confined livestock poultry or aquaculture facilities; strip mines, borrow pits; and water bodies smaller than forty acres. Vacant and nonagricultural land surrounded on all sides by urban development and greater than 40 acres is mapped as Other Land Other Landis not considered prime farmland. The project site is not located within or adjacent to lands in a Williamson Act Contract. No impact has been identified. Mitigation Measure: None required. 4.3 AIR QUALITY: Would the proposal: Potentially Significant Less Than Significant Less Than Significant No Impact Reviewed Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? X Project Name: UP09-0003 9 Would the Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated b. Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? X c. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non - attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air X quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? d. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? X e. Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? X Impact Discussion: Both the California Air Resources Board and the Environmental Protection Agency have established air pollution standards in an effort to protect human health and welfare. Geographic areas are designated "attainment" if these standards are met and "nonattainment' if they are not met. In addition, each agency has several levels of classifications based on severity of the problem. Butte County and all northern Sacramento Valley Air Districts have been designated as "moderate" nonattainment areas for the state standards for ozone (03) and fine particulate matter (PM10). Currently, Butte County is in attainment for all the federal (less stringent) air quality standards. Vehicle use of the gravel road and parking area will contribute to fine particulate matter (PM10) during dry periods and/or during windy conditions. The impact is considered less than significant after mitigation. Mitigation Measure 2: Dust generated by the vehicle use of unpaved roads and areas shall be kept to a minimum and retained on-site. Dust control, through watering, dust palliative, limiting vehicle speed, other means or combination thereof shall be required to reduce fugitive dust from vehicle use of the gravel and other unpaved surfaces. Plan Requirements: The note shall be placed as a condition of the Use Permit. Timing: Requirements of the condition shall be adhered to throughout all grading, construction/landscaping and event activity periods. Monitoring: The Department of Development Services shall spot check and shall ensure compliance on-site for construction related activities subject to a building permit. Butte County Air Pollution Control District inspectors shall respond to nuisance complaints. 4.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: Would the Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a X candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Project Name: UP09-0003 10 Would the proposal: Potentially Significant Less Than Significant Less Than Significant No Impact Reviewed Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b. Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California X Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? c. Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 or the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, X etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means)? d. Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish and wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, X or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources such as a tree preservation policy X ordinance? E Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, X or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation Ian? g. A reduction in the numbers, a restriction in the range, or an impact to the critical habitat of any unique, rare, threatened, X or endangered species of animals? h. A reduction in the diversity or numbers of animals onsite (including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish or X invertebrates)? i. A deterioration of existing fish or wildlife habitat (for X foraging, breeding, roosting, nesting, etc.)? j. Introduction of barriers to movement of any resident or X migratory fish or wildlife species? k. Introduction of any factors (light, fencing, noise, human presence and/or domestic animals) which could hinder the X normal activities of wildlife? Impact Discussion: The proposed use is largely contained within an existing developed rural -residential property (see Project Information 1.0). Through early consultation under CEQA, the Department of Fish and Game evaluated the proposed project and concluded that there were no impacts to biological resources (July 9, 2009 email correspondence from DFG to Development Services). No adverse impact to biological resources is identified. Mitigation Measure: None Required Project Name: UP09-0003 11 4.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES: Would the Potentially less Than less Than No Reviewed proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death Impact with Impact Previous involving: Mitigation Document 1. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated Incorporated X a. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in 15064.5? X b. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5? X c. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological X resource or site oruni ue geologic feature? X d. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? X Impact Discussion: The Northeast Center of the California Historical Resources Information System (Northeast Center) was consulted during project review. There are no existing records of onsite resources. The Northeast Center did identify known historic resources adjacent to the site or in the general area. These include the Western Canal along the southern boundary of the property, railroad grades, roads, refuse deposits, ditches and homestead sites/complexes . No adverse impact to cultural resources is identified. The property has not been previously surveyed for cultural resources. The Northeast Center recommends that a survey be conducted to determine if the site has cultural resources. Staff has considered the recommendation of the Northeast Center in evaluating the project impacts to cultural resources. Since the project site is largely built and the proposed use will be an event activity on site (see 1.0 Project Information), the impact to cultural resources is considered less than significant. Mitigation Measure: None required. 4.6 GEOLOGIC PROCESSES: Would the proposal: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact Reviewed Under Previous Document a. Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: 1. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated X on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. X 2. Strong seismic ground shaking? X 3. Seismic -related ground failure, including liquefaction? X 4. Landslides? b. Result insubstantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? X Project Name: UP09-0003 12 Would the proposal: Potentially Significant Less Than Significant Less Than Significant No Impact Reviewed Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated c. Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and X potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral X spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? d. Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of X the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial X risks to life or property? e. Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal system X where sewers are not available for the disposal or waste X water? Impact Discussion: The.site is located in an area of moderate erosion and expansive soils potential. Since the project site is largely built and the proposed use will be an event activity on site (see 1.0 Project Information), no significant impact to geologic processes is identified. The impacts are considered less than significant and no impact. (see 1.0 Project Information). The property is served by an existing septic system and well. Portable restroom facilities would be brought on-site during events. As part of the project description (see 1.0 Project Information), permanent facilities may be constructed in the future. The applicant is required to meet all applicable standards for septic systems at the time that permanent facilities are constructed. Mitigation Measure: None required. 4.7 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Would the proposal: Potentially Significant Less Than Significant Less Than significant No Impact Reviewed Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environmental through the routine transport use, or disposal X of hazardous materials? b. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident X conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? c. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one- X quarter mile of an existing or proposed schools? d. Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites complied pursuant to Government Code X Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project X result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the proiect area? Project Name: UP09-0003 13 Would the Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or X working in the project area? g. Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation X plan? X h. Expose people or structures to a significant risk or loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where X residences are intermixed with wildlands? Impact Discussion: The closest airport is the Oroville Municipal Airport. The project site is approximately 5,000 feet (less than 1 mile) from the runway and is within Oroville Compatibility Zone C (Traffic Pattern). The project is not considered a Major Land Use Action per Section 1.53(a)(4) of the Butte County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. The proposed use is consistent with the intensity (people per acre) requirement of the C Compatibility Zone for the Oroville Municipal Airport. The impact is considered less than significant. (see 1.0 Project Information and Noise 4.11). Butte Fire provided input during early consultation project review. Internal circulation shall be maintained such that emergency vehicles can access the site during an event. This requires that the driveway to the parking areas and the circular driveway be maintained as a fire lane during events. This is presented by Butte Fire as a condition of approval of the use permit through their review requirements of the use and no additional mitigation is required. Mitigation Measure: None required. 4.8 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY: Project Name: UP09-0003 14 Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? X b. Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of X preexisting nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? c. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in X substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site? d. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount X of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site? Project Name: UP09-0003 14 Impact Discussion: The majority of the property is in Flood Zone X (outside of 100 -year flood zone) on FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) (06007C0980 C) dated June 8, 1998. A portion of the property along the southern boundary is located in Flood Zone A (100 -year flood zone). Construction activities located in the 100 -year flood zone are subject to compliance with applicable building code requirements and FEMA flood zone regulations. (see 1.0 Project Information) No impact is identified. Mitigation Measure: None required. 4.9 LAND USE: Would the Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated e. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the X capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted X runoff? X E Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? X g. Place housing within a 100 -year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood X Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? X h. Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood flows? X i. Expose people or structures to a significant risk or loss, injury, or death involving flooding, including flooding as a X result of the failure of a levee or dam? j. Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? X Impact Discussion: The majority of the property is in Flood Zone X (outside of 100 -year flood zone) on FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) (06007C0980 C) dated June 8, 1998. A portion of the property along the southern boundary is located in Flood Zone A (100 -year flood zone). Construction activities located in the 100 -year flood zone are subject to compliance with applicable building code requirements and FEMA flood zone regulations. (see 1.0 Project Information) No impact is identified. Mitigation Measure: None required. 4.9 LAND USE: Would the Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Physically divide an established community? X b. Conflict with an applicable land use plan, policy, or regulations of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to, the general plan, specific plan, X local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the urpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? c. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservationplan? X Impact Discussion: The use permit process allows the County to consider site specific issues in a discretionary process to evaluate consistency with the Zoning Code and the General Plan. In considering approval of the use permit, the Planning Commission is required to make findings under BCC 2445.10 Criteria for Granting. That section states that the Planning Commission may grant the use permit when it finds that... the proposed uses of the property will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies and that the use would not be unreasonably incompatible with, or injurious to, surrounding properties or detrimental to the health and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood or to the general health, welfare and safety of the county... Project Name: UP09-0003 15 The General Plan land use designation is Agricultural Residential. The General Plan Land Use Element includes a list of Primary and Secondary Uses. Primary uses agricultural use and single-family dwellings at rural densities. There is a range of uses listed in the Secondary Uses section including animal husbandry, forestry, intense animal uses, home occupations, mining, outdoor recreational facilities, environmental preservation activities, airports, utilities, public and quasi -public uses, group quarters, care homes and transient lodging. (see 1.0 Project Information and Agriculture Resources for additional discussion). There are a few residences in the surrounding area. The residential parcels (also zoned AR -5) range in size from 3 to 10 acres (see 1.0 Project Information). The nearest residence to the portion of the parcel with the proposed use is approximately 1,100 feet. Lands to the south and east are publicly owned and designated Public in the General Plan. Access to the site is from Larkin Road and approximately 2,000 feet along Farrar to the driveway entrance/parking area. The proposed use will required improvements per County standard or as otherwise determined by the Public Works Director at the encroachment with Larkin and Farrar an/or portions of Farrar. Additional traffic, noise, dust and the presence of people during the events will be noticeable. With the mitigation measures, this is considered less than significant (see 1.0 Project Information, 4.1 Aesthetics, 4.3 Air Quality and 4.11 Noise) Considering the zoning, general plan designation, location, setting and the analysis contained in this CEQA document, Development Services considers this project to be consistent with the findings required in BCC 2445.10. The determination for these findings is subject to Planning Commission consideration at a public hearing including this information and written and oral comments. The decision of the Planning Commission to approve or deny the Use Permit is subject to a 10 -day appeal period. The County is in the process of updating its entire General Plan and Zoning Code under Butte County General Plan 2030. More information on the update can be obtained at httt)://www.buttegeneralplan.net/ * The specifics regarding permitted land uses and related zoning regulations are not currently in a draft form as of the writing of this initial study. Review of the Preferred Land Use Alternative map indicates that this project area has been identified as Rural Residential. No information at this time indicates that the proposed use would be potentially compatible or incompatible with the Butte County General Plan 2030 that is in process. Mitigation Measure: None required. 4.10 MINERAL RESOURCES: Would the Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a. Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the X residents of the state? b. Result in the loss of availability of a locally -important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general X Ian, specific plan, or other land useplan? Impact Discussion: The project site is not within a state designated mineral resource zone (MRZ). The site has not been used for mineral extraction and is not known as a source of important mineral resources nor is it identified as such in the General Plan. Mitigation Measure: None required. Project Name: UP09-0003 16 4.11 NOISE: Would the proposal: Potentially Significant Less Than Significant with Less Than Significant No Impact Reviewed Under Impact Mitigation Impact Previous Incorporated Document a. Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or X noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? b. Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive ground bome vibration or and borne noise levels? X c. A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the X roiect? d. A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing X without theproject? e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project X expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in X the project area to excessive noise levels? Impact Discussion: The closest airport is the Oroville Airport. The project site is approximately 5,000 feet (less than 1 mile) from the runway and is within Oroville Compatibility Zone C (Traffic Pattern). The project site is located outside of the 55dB CNEL (Community Noise Equivalent Level) as identified for the Oroville Airport in the Butte County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, Exhibit 5E. People working in the project area would not be exposed to excessive noise levels. The recreation facility is proposed to be operational from the beginning of April through the end of October with up to 12 events. A maximum of 200 people are proposed to be able to attend an event (this number excludes the staff and related vendors to manage the event). Events would be active not later than IOPM. After the active portion of the event there would be the exit of attendees, clean-up, etc. The Butte County General Plan identifies normally acceptable level of noise throughout the County. Currently, the Noise Element (Chart No. 4) establishes that acceptable levels of noise for the project area are normally below 60 decibels Ldn or CNEL at any time. The events are expected to introduce a temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above existing levels. The distance to the nearest house is approximately 1,100 feet from the event area Since distance from a source of noise has an attenuating effect, noise levels from events at nearby homes can be expected to be minimal due to the distance of the residential uses on adjacent parcels from the event area. However, sensitivity to noise is subjective and can be perceived as a nuisance, even if noise conforms to existing standards. Mitigation Measure 3 is added to insure that excessive noise will not become a significant issue. If the actions in Mitigation Measure 3 fail to abate a noise nuisance related to events, the Planning Commission can modify the Use Permit to reduce quantity, duration or time of events or revoke the Use Permit if it reserves jurisdiction of the Use Permit. Mitigation Measure 3: Acceptable levels of noise generated from the project shall not exceed 60 decibles Ldn or CNEL, as established by the Butte County General Plan, at the nearest dwelling. If the Department of Development Services (DDS) or other Project Name: UP09-0003 17 County departments receive noise -related complaints regarding the project and the level of noise is in excess of the established standards, the applicant/owner shall immediately implement all measures recommended by DDS to abate the nuisance. The owner/applicant shall reduce noise levels as directed, which may include, but are not limited to: • Changing the operational hours and/or placing limits on amplified sound/music; • Reducing the number of individuals allowed at each event; • Installing sound -buffering structures; • Work with a sound specialist to identify and implement appropriate sound reducing measures; or • Other recommendations from the DDS. Any violations of the above established noise standards constitute violations of the applicant's Use Permit and shall subject the applicant to the administrative revocation and/or criminal enforcement actions under Butte County Code section 24-45.65 or equivalent or related section if the code is updated or amended. Plan Requirements: This mitigation shall be placed as a condition of the Use Permit. Timing: The applicant shall implement measures to reduce noise impacts as required by the Department of Development Services as a result of complaints during the operational phase of the project. Monitoring: The Planning Division and/or Code Enforcement shall respond to noise complaints. 4.12 HOUSING: Would the Potentially Less Than Less Than No Reviewed proposal: Significant Significant Significant Impact Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a.

Conflict with accepted policies, plans or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, X 11 bicycle racks)? Impact Discussion: The project is not considered a Major Land Use Action per Section 1.5.3(a)(4) of the Butte County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. The proposed use is consistent with the intensity (people per acre) requirement of the C Compatibility Zone for the Oroville Municipal Airport. The project site plan includes on-site parking and circulation. The peak event day maximum proposed is 200 persons. This does not include employees or vendors transporting equipment or providing services for the event. With an average of 3 persons per vehicle attending the event, the maximum equates to approximately 67 vehicles for a maximum event. The applicant estimates that of the larger events, the attendance will be more typically 125 to 150 persons. While this is an estimate, the project proposes 200 as the maximum. The site plan shows a 47 lot parking area (7 additional parking spaces are provided near the residence) is provided with an overflow parking area sufficient to meet the estimated parking needs of a maximum event. Vehicle traffic to the site is estimated to be primarily south bound traffic along Larking, turning east onto Farrar. After event exiting is expected to follow the same pattern with a right hand turn onto Larking. The proposed use will required improvements per County standard or as otherwise determined by the Public Works Director at the encroachment with Larkin and Farrar and/or portions of Farrar. The project includes signage and on-site safety lighting for evening hours. The applicant will also be required to maintain and event management plan. Internal circulation shall be maintained such that emergency vehicles can access the site during an event. This requires that the driveway to the parking areas and the circular driveway be maintained as a fire lane during events. This is presented by Butte Fire as a condition of approval of the use permit through their review requirements of the use and no additional mitigation is required. Mitigation Measure: None required. Project Name: UP09-0003 20 4.16 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS: Would the proposal: Potentially Significant Less Than Significant Less Than Significant No Impact Reviewed Under Impact with Impact Previous Mitigation Document Incorporated a.

Project Name: UP09-0003 25 Date Mar. 24/09 To: Butte County Planning Commission From: Jack L. Smith Subj: Establishment of a winery and events center. It is with the approval of the planning board that I desire to establish an events center as a venue for weddings, receptions, graduations, anniversaries etc. This will be along with and concurrent with a winery. The wine subsequently grown on site will be custom processed, bottled, and stored at a commercial winery in Chico. (Bertagna Wineries) The wine will eventually be sold through the events center and via other commercial outlets. Phase I (Commencing now) Phase I will be the establishment of the vineyard itself. This will encompass about 1800' of trellis' and vines. They will be irrigated by drip irrigation from the existing water system. This is ongoing now. Concurrent with that, some small construction projects are planned for Phase I. A) Build a small pergola (approx 12X15') suitable for wedding ceremonies. (sample picture attached) (See plot plan for approximate location) B.) A small concrete slab/patio area about the same size as an alternate location for ceremonies. (See plot plan for approximate location) C.) Installation of low -voltage outdoor lighting into existing trees and shrubbery for after -dark ambiance and safety. This will be done according to code by a licensed electrician. D.) Appropriate signage will include directional signs to parking areas, handicapped access, restrooms, etc .(examples on plot plan) D1.) There may eventually be an access to the property sign. This sign will be about 3X6' unlighted and will be at the entrance road to the property. It is not yet determined if this sign will be in Phase I or some subsequent phase. -I- BDTTE COUNTY APR 0 ` 2009 uEl7EU)Pib-LENT SERVICES None of the existing oak trees will be disturbed in any way. E.) The existing landscaping and lawn areas will be enhanced and upgraded to be used for the events. F.) Portable toilets will be obtained for guest use, the quantity will be appropriate to the number of attendees. G.) All rules and regulations of the A.D.A. for the convenience of handicapped guests will be applied. H.) Establish and develop the guest parking areas. (see plot plan for location) It is anticipated that the events center will operate between the middle of April until the middle of October annually. The events will normally be held on weekends. The events will normally end at 10:00PM. The maximum number of guests anticipated at each even will be about 200. I request approval for 12 events a year. The guests will only have access to the landscaped portions of the property. They will not have any access to the existing residence, shop, carport, pump house, etc nor to the islands in the pond. The gravel parking area adjacent to the shop/house will be reserved for V.I.P. parking (eg: Limos, bridal party and parents etc.) The clientele will required to provide professional security and insurance/liability bonds for their event. All applicable County, State and Federal laws will be observed Any food served will be contracted by and paid for by the clientele from outside sources. They will be responsible for its preparation, service and clean-up (eg: licensed caterers, bartenders, musicians, etc.) Wine grown on the property will be sold at the events, but only in accordance with ABC laws and other applicable regulations. Wine and grapes will also be marketed to other outside buyers via wine shops and wholesalers, All applicable permits and licenses from California Alcoholic Beverage Control, The U.

SERVICES June 8, 2009 I.C. File # L09-7 Project Review Dear Mr. Calarco, In response to your request, a project review for the project cited above was conducted by exam -Tiring the ofEciai maps ,:rd records for archaeological situ and su^✓eys in Butte County. RESULTS: Prehistoric Resources: According to our records, -no sites of this type have been recorded in the project area. However, one site of this type, a pre- and post -contact village site, has been.recorded in the project vicinity. The project'is located in a region utilized by the Konkow Maidu populations. Unrecorded prehistoric cultural resources may be located within the project area. Historic Resources: According to our records, no sites of this type have been recorded in the project area. However, one site of this type, the Western Canal, has been recorded adjacent to the southern boundary of the project area. Additionally nine sites of this type have been recorded in the project vicinity, consisting of railroad grades, roads, refuse deposits, ditches, and homestead sites/complexes. Unrecorded historic cultural resources may be located in the project area. The USGS Gridley (1952) 15' quad map indicates that the Feather River, Sacramento Northern Railroad, Western Canal, levees, dredge tailings, headgate, dam, roads, structures, and an orchard are located in the project vicinity. The project is located in the historic Oroville gold mining district. In 1848 John Bidwell made the first gold discovery in Butte County on the west bank of the Feather River (approximately one mile southwest of the project area). News spread and miners soon began to arrive in the area to mine the riverbank. The town of Hamilton quickly rose in that location. It was named after the nephew of Alexander Hamilton who assisted in laying out the street plan. In 1850 Hamilton was chosen as the county seat of the newly established Butte County. A courthouse and jail were soon built, but in 1853 the county seat was moved to Bidwell's Bar, and the towns popularity began to decline. In the late 1890's bucket dredging was introduced to the Oroville gold district. By 1908, 35 dredges were active in the district, dredging through thousands of acres of land along the Feather River south of Oroville. Previous Archaeological Investigations: According to our records, the project area has not been surveyed for cultural resources by a professional archaeologist. Literature Search: The official records and maps for archaeological sites and surveys in Butte County were reviewed. Also reviewed: National Register of Historic Places _ Listed properties and Determined Eligible Properties (1988, Computer Listings 1966 through 7-00 by National Park Service); California Register of Historical Resources (2009); California Points of Historical Interest (1992); California Inventory of Historic Resources (1976); California Historical Landmarks (1996); Directory of Properties in the Historic Property Data File for Butte County (2009); Handbook of North American Indians, Vol. 8, California (1978); Historic Spots in California (1966). RECOMMENDATIONS: Based upon the above information, the project appears to be located in an area considered to be sensitive for prehistoric and historical resources. The project area is located in a region utilized by prehistoric and historic populations. Native American populations used the local region for seasonal and/or permanent settlement, as well as for the gathering of plants, roots, seeds, and seasonal game. Historically, Euroamericans utilized the region for mining and farming operations. Therefore, we recommend that a professional archaeologist be contacted to conduct a cultural resources survey of the project area. The project archaeologist will be able to offer recommendations for appropriate preservation or mitigation measures for any new cultural resources encountered as a result of the field survey. The project archaeologist should also contact the appropriate local Native American representatives for information regarding traditional cultural properties that may be located within project boundaries for which we have no records. This person may also want to consult historic General Land Office (GLO) plat maps in order to aid in the identification of unrecorded historic sites, which may be located within project boundaries. During any phase of parcel development, if any potential prehistoric, protohistoric, and/or historic cultural resources are encountered, all work should cease in the area of the find pending an examination of the site and materials by.the project archaeologist. This request to cease work in the area of a potential cultural resource find should be made a condition of project approval. This condition is intended for accidental discoveries made during construction activities, and does not replace the need for a Phase I investigation that assists planners and developers in meeting California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) obligations during the Initial Study planning phase. The recommendation for a Phase I Cultural Resource Evaluation enables the lead agency to fulfill their obligations under CEQA to identify potentially significant historical resources. A Phase I investigation includes background research (record search), a field inspection, and report documenting the presence or absence of prehistoric or historic features, buildings, or archaeological sites. If potentially significant sites are identified during the Phase I investigation, further work may be necessary to determine site significance as well as appropriate protection or mitigation measures. Thank you for your dedication preserving Butte County's and California's irreplaceable cultural heritages, and please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or need any further information or assistance. Sincerely, Robert McCann, B.A. Research Assistant INTER -DEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: a 0 0 0 0 0 5 �trc woV'� PETE CALARCO, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR PLANNING DIVISION ERIC SCHROTH, LAND DEVELOPMENT DIVISION RESPONSE TO EXCEPTION REQUESTS UP09-0003 SMITH AUGUST 18, 2009 EXCEPTION REQUEST TO CULVERT REPLACEMENT Public works condition: Prior to establishing use, obtain an encroachment permit and construct a standard S - 18B road approach at the intersection of Farrar Lane and Larkin Road in accordance with county improvement standards. Applicant request for exception: The applicant has agreed to construct a standard S -18B road approach, but requests that the existing culvert under the road approach not be replaced. Public works response to exception request: According to the applicant, the existing culvert has been in place for at least 40 years. The culvert was inspected by county staff and determined to be composed of two different types of pipe, 8 -inches in diameter, not conforming to county standards. The condition of the pipe could not be determined. The primary concern with leaving an old and possibly degraded pipe under a newly constructed road section is the potential that it may plug, collapse or otherwise fail to function. The potential for failure and difficulty in maintaining this culvert is a particular concern due to its age and substandard construction. The pipe is relatively long and made from two different material types that were joined without a cleanout. The length and size is not accessible by the county's maintenance equipment and its small diameter and unknown joints present additional potential for plugging. If the pipe were to fail, the road section would have to be cut and replaced. The useful life of new pavement is determined to a large extent by drainage and subgrade conditions. Leaving a 40 -year old sub -standard culvert under a new road section would significantly reduce its useful life. CADocuments and Settiings\pcalarco\Locel Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKDF\INTER-DEPT MEMO - Response to Exception Request per A-1.doc The applicant proposes to extend the existing culvert in compliance with county standards, but it is not clear how the county could approve of a culvert extension that complies with county standards. An extension would add a third pipe material, another joint, and extend an already inaccessible reach of pipe. In ad'dition,'the minimum diameter of 12 inches required by the county would have to be joined to an existing 8 - inch pipe, creating a connection highly susceptible to blockage and requiring constant maintenance. The existing culvert does not meet county standards and its failure could create hazardous driving conditions by allowing water to flow into the traveled way of Larkin Road. Its aged condition may also hasten the useful life of the new road surface and require replacement in the near future, both of which would be detrimental to public welfare. EXCEPTION REQUEST TO ROAD SURFACING Public works condition for road improvements: Improve Farrar Lane from Larkin Road to proposed parking areas to an RS -8 LD -II county improvement standard. Construct the required improvements prior to establishing use. Public works response to exception request for road improvements: County improvement standard RS -8 LD -II is a 20-fo6t wide graded road with 4 inches of Class 2 aggregate base. It is the minimum standard required for a rural private road that serves parcels from 5 to 40 acres in size. The RS -8 LD -II road improvement standard was recommended by the Public Works Department to provide for public safety. The existing road substantially meets this standard from Larkin Road to the applicant's property. The portion of Farrar Lane past the applicant's property is two individual non -shared private driveways, one of which leads to the applicant's proposed use. For private roads, and especially for roads the serve only one owner, the Public Works Department will defer to Cal Fire in matters of public safety. Cal Fire has indicated that road improvements for this use are not required. The Public Works Department is therefore willing to support an exception to the road improvement requirements for this use.

Loosen tight clothing and get the victim to the hospital ASAP. Aug.12, 2009 Mr. Mike Crump, Director Public Works Department 7 County Center Dr. Oroville Calif. 95965 Re: UP09-0003 Dear Mr. Crump. I respectfully request an exception. to the design requirement for a completely new culvert to be installed at the intersection of Farrar Lane and Larkin Rd. I am planning on installing a road approach and radius at that intersection, per county requirements. In so doing I will be covering part of an existing ditch on the East side of Larkin Rd. This will abut an existing culvert that has always been more than sufficient. I propose to connect to the existing, sufficient culvert with an additional length of culvert to go beneath the new approach. This will not affect the existing run off. I have been advised by Mr. Schroth from your office that the existing culvert does not meet county standards and must be removed/replaced. The existing culvert has been in place for.at least 40 years and has always been sufficient. This will entail removing approximately 55' of existing asphalt, tearing out the old culvert and replacing it with a new one. This will cause a great deal of extra expense, effort and time. The existing culvert is more than sufficient as the road intersection is at the top of a grade and the ditch and roadway drain away from the culvert in both directions. (photos to follow) The existing ditch drains only a small lawn area and is very capable of handling that run off. The ditch has never overflowed or flooded in the last 20+ years that I have lived there. I cannot even remember ever seeing any standing water in the ditch. The pavement on Larkin road is also pitched away (East to West) from the ditch so it does not contribute any rainwater to the ditch. The topography of the area is such that the rainwater drains away from the culvert in almost all directions. It drains to South, West, and North. Rainwater entering into the ditch from the East, if any, has sufficient drainage via the existing culvert. If my plan/Request for Exception is approved, there will be no detrimental effect to public welfare or to surrounding properties or to Larkin Road. Again, I propose to connect to the existing culvert and lay down the appropriate road base and asphalt to connect to Larkin Road. All encroachment permits will be obtained before the work is started. The work will meet all county specifications and standards. I further request that the requirement for the laying down of a seal coat on part of Farrar Lane be rescinded. The road is hard packed gravel and is not currently excessively dusty, even during dry summer months. I am already planning, during events, and during dry weather, to use a water truck that I have access to, to wet the gravel down to ameliorate any potential dust problems. Also, my neighbor who's property is adjacent to the roadway, has volunteered to wet the roadway down if necessary. As this will only entail a couple times a year, a seal coat is another extraneous expense that I am being asked to pay for. The roadway in question is currently used daily by 8 families and guests. Dust has never been a problem. Again, by rescinding this requirement, the public welfare will not be adversely affected in any way. If you have any questions or comments, I am at your service.
