Subject: Butte Creek Canyon Overlay
Dear Supervisors, My name is Christine Jennings, I am writing in support of the Butte Creek Canyon Overlay. l have been
a Canyon resident for 40 years and own 13 acres. My support of the Overlay is for many reasons and include:
Preserve and protect the uniquely valuable qualities of Butte Creek Canyon which is a designated cultural &scenic
resource of Butte County in the General Plan.
Honey Run and Centerville Roads cannot handle any more traffic. Down to one lane where Centerville Rd. has fallen in.
High concern of fire danger and limited resources to protect existing homes.
Limited water supply.Wells are already being re-drilled by current residents.
Cluster Development should not be allowed-not appropriate for terrain of the Canyon.
Ridgeline development needs setbacks for fire safety, deer herd migration and to protect scenic qualities.
Watershed protection that includes vegetative streamline buffers,surfaces that allow percolation of water,erosion
control and septic system setbacks.
The Canyon and it's Ridges are a wildlife refuge: a haven for endangered salmon, bald eagle, and more!
Thank you,see you Tuesday,
Christine Jennings
