way in Lot 4 of Centennial Tract - the department has
received an owner request to vacate an unnamed right of
way and public utility easement along the northerly 30
feet of her property to allow for future development.
This right of way was offered for dedication on the map
of the Centennial Tract, filed for record on April 4,
1950 in Book 17 of Maps, pages 38 and 39 of Butte
County Official records. However, it was never
accepted or rejected by the Board of Supervisors. The
utility companies have confirmed there are no
facilities within the said right of way and do not need

3.45 * Adoption of An Ordinance Amending Butte County Code
Section 3-103 (C) to eliminate an ambiguity in the
drainage collection fee - Butte County Code Section 3-
103 (C) is written to allow for drainage fees for only
area being developed, not the entire property (i.e
developing 1.5 acres of a 10 acre parcel). The
ambiguity allows an individual developing a vacant
parcel that is greater than one acre to pay a lower fee
than an individual proposing the same development on a
parcel that is one acre or less. The new language
proposed in the Ordinance would eliminate this
ambiguity and would provide that an individual
developing a vacant parcel larger than one acre would
pay, as a minimum, for one acre of development - action

SIGN. (From 12/12/2006 [3.46])

order:
1. ConsentAgenda: these are items that are considered routine and are handled by one motion and vote
of the Board. If you wish to discuss any item on the Consent Agenda you can either fill out a
speaker card (located in the back of the board room) and give it to the Clerk of the Board (sitting
to the right of the Board) or, when the Chair asks if there is anything anyone would like to remove
from the Consent Agenda, stand and approach the podium and request the item be removed. The
removed items are discussed at the end of the Regular Agenda.
2. Regular Agenda: this is where presentations to the Board and items that require full discussion are
heard. Items removed from the Consent Agenda are discussed under this section.
3. Public Hearing and Timed Items: this is where items that are required by law to be heard as a public

Board on any matter not listed on the agenda. The Board, by law, cannot take action on any matter

5. Closed Session: the Board is authorized, by law, to meet in a closed session in certain
circumstances. This area of the agenda identifies those items that will be discussed during the
