Dear Jim,
In response to our telephone conversation on September 24, 2002,1 am sending this letter
to confirm that the Planning Division of the Butte County Department of Development
Services has no objection to your Division issuing a Private Use Airport permit for the
private airstrip commonly known as the "Hog Ranch Airport" located in, Butte County.
This concurrence with your Division's action is predicated on the. permit being
conditioned to limit the use of the air strip to a single party, the property owner of the
parcel upon which the airstrip is located. In addition,.I would request that the permit also
stipulate that no change or expansion of the use be granted unless approval is received
from this Department. I hope this will close the book on any questions surrounding the
use of this private air strip. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this
issue.
Sincerely,

Re: Airport Commission Lighting Requirement for Verizon Cell Tower
Dear Airport Commission Officers:
I work for Kukulica & Associates, Inc. and we are in the process of establishing a
Northeast Chico cell tower site for Verizon Wireless in a non -airport zone. As
you know, the Airport Commission ("Commission") has requested that the cell
tower have lighting for directional purposes. However, the lighting requested is
not required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
We would readily comply with the Commission's request to add lighting,
however, the City of Chico has a local ordinance that prevents the use of lighting
on cell towers in non -airport zones.
The relevant section of the Chico Municipal Code states:
"19.78.120 Development Standards
3. All telecommunications towers in non -airport zones shall be unlit
unless lighting is required pursuant to FAA regulations. When lighting is
required, it shall be *shielded or directed in such a manner as to minimize
the amount of light that falls onto nearby properties."

We have discussed the matter -with the City of Chico and it will not allow the
Northeast cell tower to be lit. Thus, I am writing to ask that the Commission to
reconsider its lighting request or revise it to fit within the bounds of the Chico
City Ordinance. I would like to be added to the October 16, 2002 calendar to
discuss the matter before the Commission.
Please contact me if you have any further concerns or questions.
Very truly yours,
