Resolution No. 87_16
RESOLUTION ADOPTING IMPROVEMENT STANDARDS FOR SUBDIVISION,
PARCEL MAPS AND SITE IMPROVEMENTS PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 20 OF
THE BUTTE COUNTY CODE.
WHEREAS, under the provisions of Chapter 20 of the Butte County
Code, standards governing water supply, sanitation, road construction, fire
standards, fee schedules, and other specific requirements are to be
established by resolution by the Board of Supervisors.
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors has adopted Resolution No. 82-
68, April 27, 1982, which established improvement standards; and
WHEREAS, the Butte County Planning Commission determined that
conditions in the County had changed sufficiently to warrant a review of the
improvement standards; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has recommended amendments to
Section 12 Water Supply, Appendix VII Sewage Disposal, and Appendix 1T Road
Standards, Fire Standards as shown on Exhibits 1, 2, 3, and 4 attached
hereto; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments have been studied and reviewed by
the Butte County Board of Supervisors and a public hearing held pursuant to
law at which time all interested persons were heard; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors finds the amendments will
promote the general health, welfare and safety of Butte County residents;
and
WHEREAS, bringing water supply requirements for parcel maps and
subdivisions into conformity acknowledges that there is a minimum water
requirement for household use which is not dependent upon the number of lots
created at any one time; and
WHEREAS, the improved sanitation standards will protect
groundwater quality by increasing separation distances between groundwater
and septic tanks-leachfields, and eliminating seepage pits; and
WHEREAS, the proposed road standards will improve access by the
public and emergency vehicles through expanded road widths, increased road
base requirements and surfacing; and
WHEREAS, the proposed road standards tie construction criterion to
land use density as required by the Circulation and Land Use Elements of the
Butte County General Plan; and
WHEREAS, a plan check and construction inspection is critical to
insure that road standards are implemented; and
WHEREAS, by requiring water storage or payment into a water tender
fund, CDF/Butte County Fire will be better equipped to protect County
residents and property from fire; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors on January 20, 1987 approved the
improvement standards, identified as Exhibit 1, 2, 3, and 4 attached hereto;
and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, Section 12 and Appendix VII are
repealed in their entirety.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Appendix II standards RS-7, RS-7A, RS-8-
LD, RS-9-LD, RS-10, SRS-1 and Resolutions 82-173, 83-76, and 84-143 are
repealed in their entirety.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Sections 13.01-1 and 13.02 are repealed in
their entirety.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the improvement standards for
subdivisions, parcel maps, and site improvements as set forth in Exhibits 1,
2, 3, and 4, attached hereto, are adopted.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, a plan check and construction inspection
including, but not limited to alignment, grade, profile, drainage, etc.,
will be required for new private roads serving lots less than 5 acres.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that plan check and construction
inspection will be subject to a fee payable to Butte County in accordance
with the fee schedule adopted by Resolution 85-127 as amended from time to
time.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the proposed xoad standards apply to road
construction on-site. From the project site to the nearest publicly
maintained road, the next lesser standard will apply. The minimum standard
is RS-8-LD I, 20 ft. road width as shown on Exhibit 3.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the °Improvement standards for
-2-
subdivisions; parcel maps, and site improvements pursuant to Chapter 20 of
the Butte County Code" be endorsed to show the above amendments have been

NOTES: a. An impervious stratum or layer is a bed or tense of
fine grained soil, rock, cemented material, or
similar soil structure which retards the downward
movement of water. A stratum, which has a
percolation value in excess of 12D minutes per inch
and/or in which six (61 inches of water will not seep
completely away in a 12-hour period, shall be deemed
to be impervious.
b. Areas with less than two (21 feet of soil above an
impervious stratum or less than five (5? feet of sail
above the seasonal high groundwater level, slopes in
excess of 30~s, ar percolation values in excess of 120
min/inch are deemed unsuitable for septic tank
systems.
c. In addition to the requirements of these standards,
sewage disposal areas must be of such a configuration
that it is practicable to use them as disposal areas
based upon standard practices for the installation of
septic tank systems.

FIRE
13.0 1 1 Requirement Class 1 A pressurized water supply for fire
protection wi11 not be required. However, 2,500 gallons of water
must be provided for each parcel created, The specific location
of the fire department connection (built to 5-29 standards) wi11
be determined by the fire department, in consultation with the
developer. Tn lieu of bearing the cost of installing a static
water supply system, the developer may pay into the fire
department WATER TENDER FCFND. The amount paid is based on the
number of parcels created.
Section 13.02 Timing and Financial Responsibility
These requirements must be met prior to construction of any
building on the created parcels. The condition need not be met
prior to the filing of the final map. If this is the case, the
developer must show proof of a performance hand or other
financial arrangement to cover the cost of these requirements.
