The public hearing on the negative declaration and appeal of
denied variance for Joe E. Henegar to allow a parcel of 23,760 square
feet in an "SR-1" (suburban residential, 1 acre minimum) zone for
property located on the east side of Cussick Avenue, (Bay Avenue)
approximately 300 feet south of Churchill Avenue, identified as AP 42-34-04,
Chico was held as advertised. Jim Lawson, planning director, set out
the background of the appeal. The Board of Zoning Adjustment denied
the variance on a vote of 2 to 1. One of the parcels would be less
than the one acre required by the zoning.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing: Joe Henegar. Mr.
Henegar stated that the plat map showed 13 of the 24 parcels on Bay
Avenue were less than one acre. In 1970 the SR-l zoning was placed
on the property> Since that time 8 parcels have been created. Seven
of the eight parcels were less than one acre. Mr. Henegar stated that
he has a petiton from 15 of his immediate neighbors stating they are
in agreement with the variance. Mr .. Henegar stated that the map
has been changed, The 30-foot driveway has been taken out.
Supervisor Richter stated that the proper procedure would
be for a zone change and not variance. Supervisor Richter stated
that ther~is a rezone corm through that Mr, Henegar could attach
to. Supe visor Richter stated that he would like to see a remedy.;
and yet not violate the law in the process. The variance is not
the proper procedure.
Chairman Winston stated that a variance can be granted
for several reasons, topography, size and shape, The piece of property
is 660 feet on Bay and 132 feet deep. There is no problem just to draw
a line. Therefore, because of the size and shape isn't he in fact
being denied; Chairman Winston stated that the neighbor would be
allowed to split his property :ias he has enough frontage. Chairman
Winston stated that because of the size and shape he is being denied
the same benefits.
Del Siemsen, deputy county counsel, stated that on that
rational the variance could be granted.
Discussion of the rights-of-way on the property had 'at
this time. Mr. Siemsen stated that easements have to be excluded from
consideration.
On motion of Supervisor Richter, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
and unanimously carried, finding the proposed project could not have a
significant effect on the environment, a negative declaration was recommended.
Hearing closed to the public and confined to the board,
It was moved by Supervisor Richter, seconded by Supervisor Madigan
that the appeal be denied.

78-203 ADOPT ORDINANCE 1896: PUBLIC HEARING: TIMBER PRESERVE ZONE - REZONE
TO "TP-160" (TIMBER IAND PRESERVE) ZONE PORTIONS OF EASTERN BUTTE COUNTY,
CONTAINING 14,630 ACRES OR 22.86 SQUARE MILES, MORE OR LESS
The public hearing on the Timber Preserve zone rezone to "TP-160"
(timber land preserve) zone portions of eastern Butte County, containing
1/x,630 acres or 22.86 square miles, more or less was held as advertised.
Jim Lawson, planning director, set out the background of the TP zoning.
This was passed as proposition 18 on November 5, 1974. It revised the
taxation of the property. In 1976 the Assessor compiled a list of
parcels that were timber land. Those parcels included on List B are
to remain unless the. owner can show that it is in the public interest
to not be zoned TP zoning. Mr. Lawson gave the background on the
bill.
Tiearing open to the public. Appearing:
1. Bill Wilson, real estate. Mr, Wilson stated that the
TM zoning was the biggest steal of personal property rights. Mr.
Wilson questioned whether his taxes would go down if his property
was included in the zoning. Mr. Wilson was assured that his property
taxes would be decreased.
2. Wesley Chipman, executor of the estate of Charles E. Coupe.
Mr. Chipman stated that he would like to have the property excluded from
the zoning. The groperty may have to be sold. The property may be sold
by the estate or sold by the heirs. The property is in probate at the
present time.
Discussion of the penalties when requesting to be taken out
of the timber preserve zoning had at this time. The penalties are
similar to those of the Williamson Act. A procedure will have to be
set out to petition for withdrawal from the zoning. The findings
the board has to make at the time of withdrawal are much more strict
than the findings of exclusion at the time of hearing for inclusion.
0n motion of Supervisor Richter, seconded by Supervisor Lemke
and unanimously carried, the estate of Charles E. Coupe, AP 73-21-8,
was excluded from List B with the findings that it is in the public
interest that the size, shape and location of the property and desire
of the owners is consistent with the public interest.
3. James Hansen. Mr. Hansen stated that in the compatible
uses recommended three acres are designated for mining. When List A
was adopted the same subject came up and the three acre maximum was
removed. Mr. Hansen stated that the three acre maximum should be
excluded from the compatible uses.

the best interest to include a subdivision in the zoning.
5. Bob Barrett, Diamond International. Mr. Barrett stated
that Diamond owns cutting rights on some of the propertyo Mr. Barrett
stated that any site I and site II land has to be put in TP zoning.
Any land prior to March, 1976 that was timber land was to go on List Ao
The land not placed on List A should be placed on List B.
Al Anderson, assessor, stated that his office contacted all
owners on List B and if they wanted to be taken off then they were.
Mr. Anderson stated that he felt that property rights were the first
priority and timber rights the second. The position of the State Board
of Equalization is that the land owner has the right and timber is
second.
Mr. Barrett stated that he did not disagree with that
statement. Mr. Barrett stated that he disagreed with the fact that
site I and site II property was not listed on List A, Thase properties
should be included on List B.
Mr. Anderson stated that some of the property that was site I
and site II had a higher and better use than timber. They were not on
the roll as timber land.
Mr. Lawson stated that if property is assessed as timber land
then it belongs on List A.
6. Charley Moss. Mr. Moss stated that the Planning Commission
had taken some individuals off the list. Mr. Moss stated that if the
board took those property owners off the list then there would be no
need to bother them.

given the board comments on how the county might proceed with the improve-
mentso Mr. Castleberry stated that in his association working with the
District Attorney that $85,000 has been collected in this area that
could be attributable to Swedes Flat Road. The money is not available
today. Mr. Castleberry stated that if the money was available then
some of that money could be spent for the improvements. The board
could consider directing the Subdivision Committee to establish a road
deposit for future splits in that area. Perhaps the board should
consider additional work through assessment districts. The proper
fee for a deposit would be about $750 per parcel or certificate of
compliance granted.
Chairman Winston stated that he will not support expending
public funds for Swedes Flat Road.
Supervisor Richter stated that he would support formation of
an assessment district and collection of deposits on certificates of
compliance and all new divisionso Supervisor Richter stated that he

collected should be used for improvement of the road. If the money
was put into the general fund then the county should pay for the
improvements.
Time spent discussing the fines collected and where the
money went.
Supervisor Richter stated that maybe the board would
entertain some money percentage that the county might participate in
a limited effort of culverts with some negotiated basis of limited
county basis. The majority should be paid for out of an assessment
district.
Mr. Pierce stated that he could go along with negotiating
with the county. Mr. Pierce stated that he hoped that funds would not
be withheld until an assessment district were formed. Mr, Pierce stated
that he would be willing to work towards an assessment district in whatever
way he could,
