149 EEK ENTITLEMENT STATUS FOR REGION C AREA AND ACT AS THE PRIME AGENT
OR THE ENTITLEMENT - CCCJ OPERATION53
Clif Nickelson, administrative officer, stated that after
everal meetings and several changes they have come up with a position and
roposal regarding Region C, CCCJ operations and continuation of the
unction, This proposal is supported by the current CCCJ Board. The
oard approved the concept of the Region C as it currently stands being
eld together. Butte County would be the lead county for the CCCJ
fforts in this region. He understood there was about $20,000 still
vailable to operate the program between now and October 1, 1980.
e Board should take the position that they are not going to invest any
everal fund money.
Supervisor Winston stated that in looking at the charts combining
he entitlement by continuing the Region C with the four counties that the
otal available would be $117,200. This includes administrative costs and
ny monies to the three counties other than Butte County. Butte County
ould be responsible for administration. At any time one of the three
ounties could service notice and get out. If Butte County went for an
ntitlement alone with the cities there would be $78,240, which is $134,000
ess. The county would still be providing the administration. He wondered
Nether these facts were considered during the deliberations of the proposal.

80- Mr. Nickelson stated that these matters were considered. In -
v xecent years a great majority of the funds have been used in Butte County.
The other three counties have had some money, something like $30,000 to
$35,000. Butte County is using most of the money. Butte County has the
most to gain by operating the program. There is $20,000 worth of administrative
funds still remaining in the operational budget of CCCJ. If the Board
decides to go for an entitlement with just the county and the cities
there is a chance that the county would not receive the $20,000. If the
county tried to operate the program on the small amount of funds without
the $20,000, they could not make it. They would have to go balance of state.
If they continue the program with the configuration as it is, they are
pzetty well assured the $20,000 will be available for planning. Once
the plan has been filed with the state and federal government the maintenance
will not he to great. It should be possible to maintain the program with
the administrative costs allowed. If they cannot do so, he would recommend
that the program be dropped immediately. The work could be handled in
two ways. It could be done through the CCCJ Board who could contract
for administration or a person could be brought on board to be paid out '
of the $20,000 until October 1, 1980. Tf the county finds they are not
able to do the work then they would have to notify the member counties.
Chairman Lemke felt that if the Board would assume the individual
county posture with Butte County as entitlement with the cities participating,
they would be out of the regional concept. The county would be able to
enjoy more under the contract period by not going to a regional concept.
Mr, Nickelson stated that they would not get as much money if
they went to an individual concept. It would be better to show the state
that the county is willing to be a team worker. If the other counties
do not want to be involved with the regional concept, then Butte County
could go after the entire $20,000 themselves. If the county cannot get the
$20,000, they should tell the state they are going balance of state.
Chairman Lemke stated that he had been an opponent of the
regional concept. Butte County has been hurt with everything they have
done on a regional basis. The regional concept makes no ane responsible
to constituents. The county still has the option of going balance of
state, which is the worst option of the three. He felt the county should
take over their own entitlement with the cities.
Howard Cassagrande, CCCJ, stated that the recommendation of
the board was to retain the region as it is. Butte County represents about
$45,000 to $50,000 of the total allocation which is around $80,000. By going
with a regional concept there would be $84,000 to $85,000 to put in as
opposed to around $50,000. There is about $20,000 of this year's budget
that can accomplish the administration to October 1, 1980. He could
not guarantee the $20,000 if Sutte County decides to go alone as an
entitlement. That would be decided by the state.
Mr. Nickelson set out what the plan would consist o£. This
would be a three-year application on how the entitlement plans to spend
the money. There is a need for a certain percentage in certain areas.
There must be a formation of an advisory board and meetings of the board.
This would be in addition to trying to put together the plan.
Discussion of using existing staff in the various departments
to put together the plan held at this time.
Mr. Cassagrande felt that this could not be done.. It would take
1-1/2 full time people to deal with the application as the plan must be
done by June 1, 1980. They have not as yet received all of the instructions.

_January 29,1980
Mr. Nickelson felt that the Probation Officer should be-designated
is the person in charge of this effort. The Board could either have the
existing CCCJ Board contract out for the services or designate a department
lead as the responsible person. The importance of continuing this program
Ls that there are certain programs that the Board may find necessary and
iesirable to implement in two to three years. He felt it was insurance for
the county.
Discussion of whether possible state shortage may affect the
program and amount of funds to the counties held at this time.
Mr. Cassagrande stated that these are not state funds. Under the
new act the entitlement jurisdictions are entitled to specific amounts of
money based on their current criminal justice expenditures. This is based
on a formula average. They are using the 1977 statistics at this time.
These funds cannot be taken from the counties. There is nothing the
state can do to take funds. LEAA can resolve any problems that might
arise regarding the applications. Mr. Cassagrande stated that he would
be leaving his position as of February 29, 1980. He would not want to
continue with the position after that time. Following the Board's
decision, he will contact the other counties to advise them of the action
by Butte County. There are two individuals that are willing to negotiate
with Butte County between now and June to get the plan done. Mr.
Cassagrande supported the concept of keeping the region as it now exists.
Over the last ten years there is a certain amount of rapport that has
taken place with the counties regarding the criminal justice system.
The President is asking for $100,000 more to keep the program going.
On motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Wheeler
and carried, the recommendation of staff relative to the continuance of
the CCCJ functions relating to the four county Region C~was approved;
and to seek entitlement status with Butte County acting as the prime
agent for said entitlement. AXES: Supervisors Dolan, Moseley, Wheeler
and Winston. NOES: Chairman Lemke.
Supervisor Winston thanked Mr. Cassagrande on behalf of the
people of the county for the good job he has done with CCCJ for ten years.
Mr. Cassagrande stated that he had appreciated working with
the Board and with the(CCJ Board within the system. He would convey the
Board's appreciation to the CCCJ Board.

ADOPT RESOLUTION 80-21 DESIGNATING THE CHIEF PROBATION OFFICER AS PROJECT
DIRECTOR FOR DELINQUENCY PREVENTTON OFFICER GRANT
Wa11y Herring, probation officer, stated that his request to the
Board at the end of the grant period would be to present the workload as it
exists in the Probation Office for the amount of money funding available.
This is not a new program. -With the grant they will be doing some of the
work required ~ by law with the existing staff. He will be able to do a
far better.•.job. He would ask the Board at the end of the grant if
there was funding available for the position. This is not a program that
if the funds go away, the department will dissolve. He will be able to do
a much better job and save local money if they can divert the kids out of
the criminal system. If they do not get involved in the criminal system,
there will be a savings to the taxpayers, state and federal governments.
He felt the funds could be used for this period of time. These funds are
specifically earmarked for projects such as being recommended. If these
funds are not used for this project, they will not buy another police unit
or officer. It is designed for the area of juveniles. There would be
the addition of one person for this position. It will be with the
understanding that the hiring is for the period of time the funds are
available, When the funds are no longer available and there is no
alternative funding, that position will be dissolved and the person will be
layed off.
It was moved by Supervisor Dolan, seconded by Supervisor Wheeler
that Resolution 80-21 designating the Chief Probation Officer as the
project director to submit the delinquency prevention officer grant
application on behalf of the county which covers the salary and benefits
and operating cost for a probation officer TT with the period from March 1,
1980 to April 30, 1981 in the amount of $28,419 in federal funds with
no county matching funds be adopted and the Chairman authorized to sign.
Supervisor Winston stated that he could not support the motion.
Supervisor Dolan stated that her views on the duties of the
Probation Officer is to work with juveniles to divert them from the criminal
justice system as his primary goal. Mr. Herring during budget session
made the comment there are 25 people doing the work that should be done
by 42 people. She recognized that this would not do what they need to do.
Sugervisor Winston stated that if innovative means continuing
to do it through money there is a problem. He felt that innovative
thinking should be doing something different with the same people.

PUBLIC HEARING: SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FINANCIAL CORPORATION - APPEAL OF
!ADVISORY AGENCY'S CONDITIONS 3 & 10 (PORTION) FOR THE KELLY RIDGE ESTATES
(UNIT N0. 8 TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP, AP 34-04-103, 51 LOTS, NORTH SIDE
IOF HILLCREST AVENUE, WEST SIDE OF LODGEVIEW DRIVE AND EAST OF KELLY RIDGE
ROAD, OROVILLE
The public hearing on Southern California Financial Corporation
appeal of Advisory Agency's conditions 3 and 10 (portion) for the Kelly
Ridge Estates Unit No. 8 tentative subdivision map, AP 34-04-103, 51 lots,
north side of H311crest Avenue, west side of Lodgeview Drive and east of
Kelly Ridge Road, Oroville was held at this time.
Clay Castleberry, public works director, set out the background
of the appeal at this time. The subdivision provided two sets of flag
lots with narrow roads. The Planning Commission recommended access be
improved to subdivision standards rather than driveway standards.
Page 27,
January 29, 1980
80-
a
_______~--_-_-_Ja_nu_ar_y_29_, 19_80 =__--_____________
Phe other condition proposed was the Public Works recommendation. There are
a series of roads into Kelly Ridge Road. It would be better to be served
by a frontage road rather than driveways backing out into the road. This
Baas a staff recommendation for safety reasons. Staff felt it would be
better to have off road access. There is an old subdivision that was
not developed on the east side of the road. There is no access control.
Bettye Blair, planning director, stated that the Planning staff
in the existing administration of the subdivision ordinance did not find
any relief for flag lots. A proposed ordinance has been drafted and
reviewed by Public Works and Environmental Health regarding an amendment
to allow flag lots. The existing ordinance does not provide relief.
Supervisor Winston felt that the road standards were ridiculous.
This is a drive way and not a road use.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing: Mike Glaze, Cook and
Associates. Mr. Glaze stated that this unit was reserved as a buffer '
strip for single family residences. It would be a buffer for Kelly
Ridge to the south. The lots are not flag lots per say. They are
rectangular lots with access easements across the parcels in front of them.
They do not have a fee title strip running to the lot. The situation of the
driveway of the flag lots is similar throughout the project. The developer
is proposing paved driveways. These four parcels will have paved access
to them. The condition being required is RS-3C standards. They have
asked that these be reduced to the paved driveway standard. Condition ~~10
is being appealed in part. They are appealing the second and third sentence.
This is the condition for frontage road to be constructed along lots 42
through 51. Mr. Glaze set out the general plan for the Kelly Ridge area.
This plan was prepared by Cook and Associates in 1968, 1969 and 1970.
The plan was submitted for review along with the first unit of development.
In letters from Planning Commission and Public Works which states that
April, 9, 1970 per recommendation of Public Works and Planning Department
the general plan was approved. Along lots 42 through 51 the parcels are
shown in the similar configuration fronting Kelly Ridge Road. On April 9,
1970 the Subdivision Committee approved Unit 1 and also the general plan.
On April 16, 1970 the Planning Commission did the same thing. On April 21,
1970 the Board of Supervisors approved Unit 1. Lots 42 to 51 are one-half
acre lots. The concept of limited access on Kelly Ridge Road has merit
and logic the difference being the one-half acre lots. The subdivision
across the street is existing and have similar sized lots and they do not
have access limited on Kelly Ridge Road. When Kelly Ridge Road was
constructed the shoulders were made wide. This would allow the people on
the parcels to pull off on the wide shoulder so they do not have to slow
on the paved street of Kelly Ridge Road.
Hearing closed to the public and confined to the Board.
Supervisor Winston questioned Mr. Castleberry as to whether
these two.lots were true flag lots.
Mr. Castleberry stated that was right.
Supervisor Winston stated that as far as frontage roads are
concerned on the lots fronting Kelly Ridge Drive, there are properties
up and down that road that have no such restrictions. There is a subdivision
of record across the street that fronts on Kelly Ridge Drive.
On motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
and unanimously carried, the appeal of conditions 3 and 10 by Southern
California p'inancial Corporation for Kelly Ridge Estates Unit No. 8 tentative
subdivision map, AP 34-04-103,-~51"lots, north side of Hillcrest Avenue,
west side of Lodgeview Drive and east of Kelly Ridge Road, Oroviile was
upheld, Page 28. January 29, 1980

PUBLIC HEARING: TERRY B. C. BARNES - APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION'S DENIAL
OF PROPOSED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND REZONE FROM "A-2" (GENERAL) TO "TM--10"
AND "TM-20" (TIMBER MOUNTAIN - 10 & 20 ACRE PARCELS) POR PROPERTY LOCATED
ON BOTH SIDES OF PONDEROSA WAY, APPROX. TWO MILES SOUTH OF BALD ROCK ROAD,
IDENTIFIED AS AP71-02-27 & 29, NORTHEAST OF OROVILLE
The public hearing on Terry B. C. Barnes appeal of Planning
Commission's denial of proposed negative declaration and rezone £rom "A-2"
(general) to "TM-10" and "TM-20" (timber mountain - 10 and 20 acre parcels)
for property located on both sides of Ponderosa Way, approximately two
miles south of Bald Rock Road, identified as AP 71-02-27 and 29, northeast
of Oroville was held as advertised.
Bettye Blair, planning director, set out the background of the
rezone. The recommendation from the Planning Commission on December 5,
1979 was to deny the rezone. In the new General Plan the area was part"A-R"
and the remainder was in the "TM" classification. That has not changed.
The more severe grades would be TM designation. None of the rezone is
within the agricultural designation. There is probably about 2/3 of
the property to the northwest in the TM designation.
Earl Nelson, environmental review director, set out the background
of the negative decl~rtation. This was a borderline project as to whether
there should be a negative declaration or an EIR. The initial indication
was that an EIR be required because of the ten acre parcels for the entire
project. The applicant revised his application to include twenty acre
parcels. The greatest concern was the steep slopes and the larger
parcels would be better. This was before the new General Plan. He
recommended a negative declaration.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing: Robert Gilbert. Mr.
Gilbert stated that he owned the property adjoining. the proposed rezone.
He was of the opinion that easements were needed to get to the property.
He thought that 60-Foot rights-of-way would be necessary..,. He was
against this because of the unavailability of water. There is a subdivision
about one-half mile from this one that is a disgrace. There is no water
available. The percolation tests are poor.
Hearing closed to the public and confined to the Board.
158
Supervisor Winston thought that TM designation under the new
General Plan required a 40 acre minimum. He felt it would be wise if the
applicant was advised of the General Plan requirements.
On motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Dolan
and unanimously carried, the agpeal of Terry B. C. Barnes on denied
proposed negative declaration and rezone from "A-2" (general) to "TM-10" and
"TM-20" (timber mountain - 10 and 20 acre parcels) for property located
on both sides of Ponderosa Way, approximately two miles south of Bald Rock
Road, identified as AP 71--02-27 and 29, northeast of Oroville was denied.

The public hearing on Frank Brazell appeal (or clarify) of the
Advisory Agency's condition 4 on a tentative parcel map, AF 42-34-71, two
lots, east side of Cussick Avenue, approximately 500 feet east of Cussick

and Associates.

SO-
--_______- -=January-29, 1980 =__-•_____________
Clay Castleberry, public works director, stated that the
questions is that the ordinance requires one acre ttet and the applicant
is proposing one acre gross.
Mr. Croninger stated that the original map is shown on the
original map with parcels one and three. If the lines on the original
map had been different there would have been enough property for a 50 or 60-
foot easement.
Mr. Castleberry stated that when Parcel 2 is divided up again
the road was not considered there would be splits of less than one
acre. The Board has the right to grant an exception. The acreage is
close enough but does not meet the very letter of the ordinance. It is
within about i/10 of an acre.
Mr. Croninger stated that it would be very difficult to get
a boundary line modification. This is actually speaking to gross versus
net. The road involved would only service two parcels. SUDAD has an
easement at the back of the property.
Bettye Blair, planning director, stated that her concerns on
this particular parce]~Inap is that it is in an "SR-1" zoning district and
an offer for dedication has been requested for the easement. If and when
the dedication is accepted then the yielding parcels would be less than
those required in the zoning ordinance.
Supervisor Winston stated that this issue has been debated
before. Look to the intent of the ordinance and the minimum lot size as
a matter of residential density. He felt they should be looking into
changing the definition and including easements. The intent is being
complied with in that one acre minimums as to the nature of density is
being complied with..
On motion of Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
and unanimously carried, the appeal of Frank Brazell of condition 4 on
tentative parcel map, AP 42-34-71, two lots, east side of Cussick Avenue,
approximately 500 feet east of Cussick Avenue and 400 feet north of
Shasta Avenue, Chico was upheld and the facts showing the special
circumstances and would allow the exception is to allow the gross parcel
size instead of the net parcel size because of the topography.

WAIVE FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE CORRECTING SECTION 2-25 OF THE BUTTE
COUNTY CODE RELATIVE TO CHANGING THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE SECOND AND
THIRD SUPERVISORIAL DISTRICTS
Dan Blackstock, county counsel, stated that there had been
concern relative to the boundary lines of the supervisory districts. This
was between the second and third districts. The general understanding was
that everything on the east side of the Esplande was going to be 3n the
third district and everything in the second district would be on the
west side. The maps tended to reflect that. There is a portion on the
east side of the Esplanade around the cemetery that was placed in the
second district. This ordinance would be correcting that change.

mobile homes. Under the definition of a mobile home a travel trailer
of 22 square feet or less is a recreational vehicle. The Board would be
eking a change in the way the ordinance is interpreted. He suggested
