DENY HCD 701 COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING GRANT IN THE AM013NT OF $11,000
Discussion of the proposed 701 Comprehensive Planning Grant for
HCD held at this time. Settye Blair, planning director, has forwarded a
memo to the Board regarding the 701 grant application. This would be for
$11,000 for computer based needs assessments.
Clif Nickelson, administrative officer, stated that this grant
had gone to the Data Processing Committee. The whole $11,000 is not for
computer services. There would be about $2,000 for programming. Most
of the funds would be for a house to house survey. He took the position
that the Board could approve the grant as long as there was no general
fund money being used.
Supervisor Winston objected to the grant proposal. He felt it was
idiculous.
It was moved by Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
that the 701 Comprehensive Planning Grant in the amount of $11,000 for
'HCD be denied.
Supervisor Dolan stated that she would not support the motion.
If the Board feels the program is important and she felt that the Board did, .
they must remember that they had expanded the area a great deal from a two
block area::to a 30 block area. There is a need to monitor the program to
know where the funds would best be used. The alternative is using the computer
which wouT3 be a savings in time. The files are not crossreferenced as
can be done by the cumputer.
Mr. Nickelson stated that this grant does not affect the three-
year grant in any way. If the three-year grant does not go through, he
recommended that the program be terminated immeddately or turned over to
the Housing Authority. In the meantime, if there are some federal funds
available to help wiCh the housing project, he suggested that the Board use
them. If the Board used the additional money now for the work to be done,
then the three-year grant can be used for the actual work on the homes.
Supervisor Winston felt that to conduct another study in the
arget area in South Oroville would not help. It has been studied and
e-studied before he was on the Board. He~~felt this was ridiculous.
Bettye Blair, planning director, stated that the area had
a door to door survey. They do not have the inventory of the data gathered.
The data in the Oroville area is out of date. Chico was covered last year.
She was trying to put information into the data base available.
Debbie Fronsman, planning department, stated that they know .that
two-thirds of the dwellings are in need of repair. There do not have a property~~
by property line item. They do not have the information on the previous survey
done in south Oroville. There was a survey done but not a door to door work
write up, ,
Vote on motion:
AYES: Supervisors Moseley, Winston and Chairman Lemke
NOES: Supervisors Dolan and Wheeler
Motion carried.

program. He.needed clarification on the action taken by the Board. The
Board approved accepting the contract. The Board approved the budget
transfer from the general fund to fund the program for 30 days. The
people are at work.
Clif Nickelson, administrative officer, stated that the action

238 DISCUSSTON - HCD PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
Bettye Blair, planning director, stated that the Board had
received a memo from her regarding the HCD program administration.

DISCUSSION OF PARADISE POLLUTION STUDY AND-.BUDGET TRANSFER B-89
Lynn Vanhart, environmental health director, stated that when
he appeared before the Board in November, he requested authorization to sign
the grant application fox the Paradise Pollution Study. This was so he
could attend the meeting. It was pointed out at the meeting that it
was easier for a community of less than 25,000 to sign the application.
He presented the matter to the Town of Paradise and they authorized the
mayor to sign the grant application. Mr. Vanhart stated that he had assumed
that there was money available for the two-way study as he had budgeted
$2,500 for sampling. This is still a planning study and if the pollution
study reflects there is a prob3em they they would proceed to phase II.
He felt that this phase should be up to the Town of Paradise.

Bettye Blair, planning director, set out the background of the
appeals at this time. These four appeals were denied by the Planning
Commission. Three of the properties are contiguous and one is to the west.
the area is determined to be 30% grade and inaccessable. The Hays property
is further to the south. Tt is off the same ridge.
Earl Nelson, environmental review director, set out the background
of the EIR that was previously certified. These projects are relatively
small. He recommended that the Hays EIR be considered on these projects.
Doe Mill Ridge includes 3,200 acres of developable property: 280 acres in
"TM-10," 600 acres in "TM-20," 520 acres in "TM-40" and 1,800 acres in
"A-2" zoning. The total maximum development potential is 428 parcels.
The requests are to take zoning previously established and break it down
into smaller sizes. This could mean an increase in parcels from 428
parcels to 640 parcels. If the 1,800 acres in the "A-2" zoning was
to go to "TM-20" that would be a reduction of 40% down to 248 parcels.
The question is what density does the Board want to occur on the ridge..
Environmental concerns are wildlife habitat, traffic increases on the
access roads, erosion and watershed and demand for public services.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing:
1. Jim Keller. Mr. Keller felt that the trend was important.
The population predicted for 1985 is 155,300 people living in Butte County.
As of January 8, 1979 there. were 137,700 people. That 3s an increase of
12;600 people. Those people. are going to have to live somewhere.
He felt the foothill was an ideal place. He was speaking of parcel 13
on the Santos subdivision. There was mention of the wildlife habitat.
Paradise is an example of wildlife living compatible with residents.
Mr. Keller felt that Butte County had done an adequate job of keeping
the roads up in the county. Mr. Keller referred to the five critical
reasons for denial as set out in the Planning Director's report.
There are producing wells in the area. There is evidence of water by
springs. There are two cabins in that area that have water and PG&E just
put electricity in the area. This indicates further development.
This area is twenty minutes away from the fire station in Forest Ranch.
According to a letter dated January 7, 1980 afire engine can respond from
[wrest Ranch to Doe Mill Road. He felt the fire protection was satisfied.
There is 5.5 miles of access that is a gravel road and very traversable.
There is also a paved road from Hwy 32 to Crown Point.
Mr. Keller stated that he had a Department of Real Estate
final subdivision public report dated July 17, 1978 regarding accessibility
to commercial services and schools. This report indicates that the
elementary school children attend school in Forest Ranch. The junior
and high school students attend school in Chico. This requirement is also
met. He felt that all the reasons could be met. Parcel 16 owned by
Teal Nichols was approved for a rezone to "TM-5" zoning last year.
Mr. Keller stated that he has a well report on parcel 1. The potential
for a water district in the area is very good.
2. John Quiggle. Mr. Quiggle stated that he has a well on
his property that is 105 feet deep that gives 20 gallons per minute.
fine parcel next to his has a well on it. The average requirement
for a well is 750 gallons per day for a household. This well is quite
adequate for four different parcels to share.
3. Scott Jackson-:~.. Mr. Jackson stated that he was taking over
the intersts of Kevin Stratton. There is a well with 20 gallons per
minute on parcel 1. That is 3,600 gallons. There are wells all over
Page 207.

on the same strata. There is a continually flowing.- lava stream of
100 feet to 140 feet. He will-have holding tanks. On the average they
are 17 minutes away from fire protection. He felt that building should
be done on the ridge. This should not be done on more and more agriculture.
4. Lee Halstrom. Mr. Halstrom stated that he had five wells
on the borderline of his property that pump 20 to 30 gallons per minute.
There are slopes from 0% to 10%. This means that every square inch is
leachable for septic systems. He felt that if they were allowed to have
five acre minimum parcels in the Forest Ranch area it would never become
as populated as Paradise has become. He felt that 20 acres was a lot
of land for one person.
Hearing closed to the public and confined to the Board.
262
Supervisor Wheeler stated that there were many unresolved
problems in the Forest Ranch area. She questioned the time for the fire
responses. Schott Road is a bad road. There is a citizens committee
in Forest Ranch. They are not against growth in the area. They do not
want overdeveloped area in Forest Ranch.
Supervisor Dolan agreed with Supervisor Wheeler. There are
still access problems in the area.
On motion of Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Supervisor Dolan
and unanimously carried, the appeals of Lee Halstrom, Jim Keller,
John P. Quiggle and Scott Jackston, as owner on the Kevin Stratton
property, were 'denied.
PUBLIC HEARING: ROBERT W. BRAMLAGE - APPEAL BY ERNEST AND EMOGENE JOVICH OF
A20P05ED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP, AP 31-18-24 AND 85,
FOUR PARCELS, SOUTH SIDE OF NELSON AVENUE, APPROX. 200 FEET OFF ROAD

1980 AT 11:45 A.M.
The public hearing on Robert W. Bramlage appeal by Ernest and
Emogene Jovich of proposed negative declaration and tentative parcel
map, AP 31-18-24 and 85, four parcels, south side of Nelson Avenue,
approximately 200 feet off road frontage, east of 12th Street, Thermalito
area was held as advertised.
Clay Castleberry, public works director, set out the background
of the appeal. Mr. Jovich questioned the right of the applicant to use
the 60-foot right-of-way. The condition placed by the Advisory Agency
was that the applicant verify he had legal right to use that. That has
sot been submitted to the office. This is in regard to an easement on
the Jovich land.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing: No one.
The hearing was continued to February 26, 1980 at 11:45 a.m.

NORTHEAST SIDE OF OAKVALE AVENUE, 1,500 FEET SOUTHEAST OF HILLDALE, OROVILI
The public hearing on James E. Hartman appeal of Advisory
Agency's approval of draft environmental impact report and Valley View
tentative subdivisfin;map, AP 34-27-116, 80 lots, northeast side of
Oakvale Avenue, 1,500 feet southeast of Hilldale, Oroville was held

Earl Nelson, environmental review director, set out the
background of the environmental impact report. This proposed subdivision
is 29.9 acres with 80 proposed lots. It is located on the east side of
Dakvale. it will have 80 residences to house 244 people with 65 school
age children. There is public water and sewer. Environmental concerns
include increase in the surface drainage into Reimars Ravine, increase in
density for elementary school with a maximum enrollment. There will be
an increase in traffic congestion at O~hir School and oakvale and Olive
Highways. There would be approximately 560 trips per day. The present
volume of cars per day is 800 to 900 cars. There would be a change in
the character of the area from suburban residential to single family.
Urban is indicated in the general plan. There is concern over safety
and hazards by OWIII and trespassing and erosion of the drainage canal.
There are fourteen mitigation measures proposed. There are alternatives such
as no project, division by parcel map and going to "PA-C" zoning. These are
covered in the report.
Hearing open t-o the public. Appearing:
1. 3lanny Corban. Mr. Corban stated that the drainage is poor
on the parcel. There are lakes in the winter. In the summer and spriag
there would be mosquitoes.
2. W. A. Peterson. Mr. Peterson stated that he was opposed to
high density subdivisions. A few years ago they Eried to get rezoning
in the area and the Board overrode the approval by the Planning Commission.
The rezone was denied by the Board for a lower density zoning. They
were told at that time that percolation tests would take care of the
density. There is a sewer line there now and it does not take into
consideration density. There is already availability of housing for
people. The Board must consider the impact on county services. He
felt that this project should be delayed or deferred until the economic
outlook is better.
3. George Tapper. Mr. Tapper stated that he had been involved.
in the planning process for that area for about twenty years. He
wondered what was going to be done with services of the area including
the road system. They use 6,000 cars per day for a two lane highway.
Mt. Ida Road will be a feeder and it is uphill and downhill. It is a
dangerous road. They only way to develop in the foothills is in the sewer
system. Then this would allow high density. High density is not applicable
to that area in combination with low density. Mr. Tapper stated that
he lived on La Marada, which has about 80 homes, and the traffic rate is
50 MPH. The sign says 25 MPH. He was not sure how much traffic constitutes
an impact of a serious nature. He originally developed a subdivision
so that he could live on a lot of 1-1/2 to two acres. There is a
possibility of mobile home developments on Miners Ranch Road.
4. Sharon Wedenier. Msi. Wedenier stated that this was a rural
area for animals and growing things. There are four issues to address.
The fire hazards in the original EIR is limited to the fire potential
for wood frame structures. The responses were somewhat inaccurate and
incomplete. There is vegetation in the area that is fuel type ~~1 and is
highly inflammable from May to October. The whole perimeter is in this
type of environment. The proposed project has only one exit. One impact
is that this is the first subdivision of this density in the immediate
area and will lead to further subdivisions of this density. There is a large
grass meadow 40 acres to the north. It is considered highly flammable.
This would make a good play ground for children. Ms. Wedenier stated
that as owners of the adjacent property to the northeast of the proposed
division there is no way that there will be a road through their property.

There axe many wildlife in the area.- She set out the wildlife that she
has seen.- She set out what happens when there are people moving into
an area where there is wi1313fe. The Department of Fish and Game have said
that alternative ~f3, "PA-C" zoning would be less of an impact. Recommended
was a 50-foot no development set back. She urged that these be considered.
She felt the figures were vague. She uxged some type of fencing for the
project. She suggested less density in the development.
5. Christine Hartman. Ms. Hartman spoke regarding the factors
of safety and the impact on the schools. Ophir School is at maximum
enrollment. She felt the figure for the school age children in the
development was underestimated. Mr. Blake will also have a 75 lot subdivision
behind Ophir School. There is a 128 unit mobile home subdivision approved
for Mt. Tda and Miners Ranch Roads. Where was the cost of the additional
class xoom to come from. There is a traffic congestion at the Ophir
School at this time. It would be impossible to get an emergency vehicle
to the school. Ophir School is the bus stop for the juniox and high
school students. The traffic will be double. There is inconsistency with
the EIR. It indicates that children will be walking to schools and
states the development will not put one additional child ,walking to school.
The EIR on page 28 speaks to a paved walkway. She suggested that the
walkway be concrete. There is no protection for children walking from
the south. She felt Palermo canal was a great safety hazard. This would
place additional liability on the pxoperty owners in the area. She
felt the canal should be undergrounded. She felt the mitigation measure
for the canal made it more dangerous. She did not feel that a subdivision
of this density be allowed. She presented newspaper clipping, information
on births in Butte County and letter from Harold Corn dated February 4, 1980.

ADOPT ORDINANCE 2076: INTERIM "P-Q" ZONING FOR LIME SADDLE COMMUNITX
SERVICES DISTRICT
Phil Mace, attorney for Lime Saddle Community Service District,
stated that under the existing zone for 1-I/4 acre parcel they would need
a use permit for the pipe line structure they are building. He asked that
the Board place an interim "P-Q" zoning on the property. Mr. Mace
presented the legal description at this time. This parcel is owned by
Lime Saddle Community Service District.
On motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Dolan
and carried, - Ordinance 2076 zoning 1--1/4 acre parcel owned
by Lime Saddle Community Services District an interim "P=Q" zoning
was adopted..-for a period of 120 days with the findings to protect the
public safety, health and welfare and the Chairman authorized to sign.
APPEARANCE: DOMINIC IMPERIAL
Mr. Imperial stated that he was concerned with the request far
penalty relief on his pxoperty. The Board had denied the request. He set
out the steps he had taken to make the payment on time.
Mr. Imperial was advised to discuss the matter with the Treasurer-
Tax .Collector.

APPEARANCE: JIM FINK, BERRY CREEK VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT
Mr. Fink asked-that the Board consider their request for revenue
sharing funds. Butte County allocated $11,000 to them for the building
of their building. The building is about '50% finished. He asked that
the Board consider their request for an additional $4,000 to finish
the building. The building could then be completed enough.: for them
to have fund raisers in the building. This has all been done with volunteer
labor.
Discussion of revenue sharing items to be considered at the
metting of March 4, 1980 with the Administrative Officer instructed to
bring the matter back.
Mr. Mercer that he had appeared before the Board two weeks ago
to discuss the letter from the Department of Fish and Game in regard to
the archery either sex hunt in Gray Lodge Refuse. He polled the five
Fish and Game Commissioners regarding this matter. All five were opposed
to the Board approving the hunt. He felt that if the-Board went to a
public hearing, the Board would turn down the hunt. He felt that
the Department of Fish and Game should discuss these matters fiaith the
county fish and game commissions before they drop them in the Board of
Supervisors lap.

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: JAMES E. HARTMAN -- APPEAL OF ADVISORY AGENCY'S
APPROVAL OF DRAFT EIR AND VALLEY VIEW TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP, AP 34-27-116,
80 LOTS, NORTHEAST SIDE OF OAKVALE AVENUE, 1,500 FEET SOUTHEAST OF HILLDALE,
OROVILLE
.The public hearing on James E. Hartman, appeal of Advisory Agency's
a pproval of draft5_environmental impact report and Valley View tentative
subdivision map, AP 34-27-11b, 80 lots, northeast side of Oakvale Avenue,
1,500 feet southeast of Hilldale, Oroville-was held as continued.
1. Joe Topping. Mr. Topping stated that the people are still
a sking for a one acre rezone. He felt that agriculture was the key
item. He was an orange grower. He set out the area that he farmed.
There are 30 citrus growners in this area. It is important as far as
agriculture. He felt that the area could be a balance and developed
along with the need for residential housing. The land is not what is
called prime land but has the climate. This could have a domino effect.
Mr. Tapper put in a subdivision by the orchard and it shows the kind
of concern for this area. The zoning in the area at the present time is
"A-R" zoning which says one to four dwellingssper acre. With the 80
homes on this project on the heels of 75 i~omes going in across the road
and 38 down the road, what the Board would be doing is rezoning. The
change in the character of the area is increasing the insurance paid
by the farmers. There is unanimous agreement in the area that the subdivision
should not be approved. Water in the area is a problem. He was concerned
about continued water availability. There could be the conversion of
the irrigation canal from a potential asset to a liability. He felt the
ditch must be covered. He felt that the findings of the Environmental
Review Committee have been deficient and not enough. There is a conflict
between agricultural spraying and urban uses. The county is not in a
position to aggressively supply services to the outlying areas. He
felt that there would be requests for road widening in the area if this
project were approved. He did not feel that the county was obligated to
have a crash building program. The Board should listen to the needs of
the people in the area. He asked that the Board not certify the SIR and
refer the subdivision back to the developers for resubmission..
Page 211.

g0_ Mr. Tapper stated that when the zoning was initiated it was
~r for the people in the area. He wondered what the people in the area that
were opposed to tine rezoning had against it, if there were any.
2. Lynn Rockwell. Ms. Rockwell did not feel there was one
person against one acre zoning on the subdivision. She was requesting that
• 300 acres be placed in one acre minimum zoning. There is no opposition
to the zoning change. This would cut the costs to the county and decrease
problems. There is sewer to the west. Eventually there will be development
in the area. There would not be the negative impacts with the low density
subdivision. The application for a zoning change is in.
Mr. Corban stated that if there was a nuclear attack there would
be a great deal of congestion getting to the shelters.
Ms. Rockwell stated that the zoning proposal was not a last
minute approach. The people in the area were willing to buy the property
from the developers. They asked the developers to consider an alternative.
RECESS: 12:25 p.m.
RECONVENE: 2:02 p.m.
3. .Tim Hartman. Mr. Hartman stated that he was going to
speak regarding traffic. He set out figures from a document from
the CHP. It is in line with the traffic figures in the environmental
report. The average daily trip from 1975 to 1977 increased 10.6%.
If seven trips a day were added to the new homes both developments would
increase the traffic to 2,117 vehicles per day at the intersection of
Hilldale and Oakvale, an increase of 98%. This would actually be more
because the figures used are for 1977. The traffic at Olive Hwy and
Oakvale in 1975 was 6,000 cars per day and in 1977 7,400 cars per day.
There was an increase between 1975 and 1978 of l9%. By adding the
two subdivisions there would be an increase of 14%. The 1979 figures would
be greater. They have requested that the developer contribute to the
traffic stoplight at the intersection of Oakvale and Hwy 162. Mr.
Hartman set out the letter from Ron Nelson, district traffic engineer,
dated September 21, 1979. This was regarding the effect of the two
proposed subdivisions on the intersection of Oakvale and Hwy 162.
There has been an substantial increase in traffic. There is a proposed
left turn on Oakvale that sould be completed during the summer of 1980.
He felt the developer should pay the cost of the stoplight.
CHAIRMAN LEMKE PRESENT:- AT THIS TIME.
Mr. Hartman discussed the accidents set out in the EIR at this
time. The report from the CHP showed the same amount of accidents on
Oakvale. The accident statistics are not correct and are not used for
stop signs. There are too many single care accidents that are not reported.
In 1979 there were seven accidents reported at that intersection.
Mr. Hartman stated that he had talked to a member of the Sheriffs Office
regarding the law enforcement. He set out the amount of deputies that
would be on duty at any time. He also set out the areas covered by the
patrolman. Mr. Hartman set out the policy of the CHP responding to
calls after 11:00 p.m. At the present time, he did not feel that the
area needed more patrols. If the subdivision was approved there would
be a need for more police protection. He felt that the subdivision should
be a lower density.
Mr. Hartman spoke regarding comments about the drainage and down
stream protection. He felt that the subdivision would create a problem
with Wyman Ravine. There will be a greater runoff when an area is
developed. There would be a mosquito problem created. There is a
mosquito problem in Butte County at this time. Mr. Hartman stated that
Page 212,
February 19, 1980
February 19, 1980
80- noticed there are two deadend streets with proposed cul-de-sacs.
b Butte County Code states that no cul-de-sac shall exist 500 feet in length.
He could not find where someone was authorized a variance to the provisions
of the code.
Clay Castleberry, public works director, stated that the Advisory
Agency if they deem it best in their judgment they can make that variance.
Mr. Hartman stated that the code states that the minimum depth
of a lot will be 100 feet. There are two lots that back up are 98 feet
deep. This is another variance. There is a road that deadends on the
north property line.
Mr. Corban stated there will be an increase in insurance,
vandalism and theft with the project.
4. Paul Minasian. Mr. Minasian stated that there were two
objectives to consider this development that is consistent with planning
a timely development and consistent with the economic ability to support
the development. The people in the area are not,jopposed~to growth
but should consider the character of the area and the density. The
EIR is not an EIR..as it does not discuss specific mitigation measures,
They are written by the developer and the engineer. The EIR is legally
insufficient. The developments in the future are going to refer to this
ETR.- The purpose of the EIR is so that the Board can understand the
impacts and alternatives. He asked if the Board knew the cost to bus
students and the cost of classrooms for Ophir School. The EIR does not
answer the question about the problems. He asked that the Board send
the EIR back as insufficient. He asked that the project be sent back
to the Advisory Agency with specific direction. Who is going to pay the
costs of various services; drainage, urban developmen and increase in
drainage. There are flooding problems in Copely Acres. This development
will compound that problem. The EIR does not propose anything.
Palermo Canal is no longer going to be able to receive this water.
Wyman Ravine will have additional problems of drainage. He submitted
a proposed rewording of the EIR for the drainage. The mitigation measures
that were adopted say the developer does not have to do anything. Is
it reasonable to bring a development into the area when the school is
filled? He suggested that the developer be required to pay fortthe
additional classrooms needed. That the people in the development agree
that if anyone is bused it will be their children. There is a problem
with traffic. A traffic light will have to be done. The developer
should be asked to place a deposit for the traffic light. Government
Code Section 66541 required ten days notice. This did not occur in two
instances. He was astonished that the EIR was supplemented after the
start of hearings. There was the addition of the comments on agriculture.
The people are asking that the Board provide for development in a way
there will be minimal impacts.
Supervisor Winston questioned Mr. Minasian as to whether the
people would agree to the project if the developer put in the stop lights,
fees for drainage and building school classrooms.
Mr. Minasian felt that they would. This would be better. If these
things are done this will make the impacts less. He felt that if the
density was greater than one unit per acre everything else becomes more
adverse. He asked that the Board give consideration to the issues presented.
Mr. Hartman clarified a comment that had been presented earlier.
There was discussion of buying the property from the developer. He had
asked what the cost of a lot would be. He was advised of the cost of the _
lots. He did not try to buy the-~xoperty.
Page 213.
February 14, 1980
February i9z 1980- _
80- Supervisor Dolan asked Mr. Minasian if he believed tike conditions
'~ adopted and the discussion would qualify to make the EIR sufficient.
Mr. Minansian fell that there were some physical things that
could be done such as the fence, pipeline, sidewalks, distances from
fences and the cul-de-sac. There are three administrative and money.
' items that should be considered including schools and drainage. The
problem with the sidewalk is that there was no curbing.
5. Neil McCabe, representing the developer. Mr. McCabe stated
that he was opposed to any further delay. There is a wealth of information
before the Board including the EIR which is bulky and complete.
Some of the statements thathaue been made have been general in opposition
to the subdivision. Some have been of a general nature and opposition
to the ills of present day society. They have tried to follow the rules
for the subdivision. He asked that the Board not change the rules in the
middle of the application. The specific problems that have been pointed
out were discussed at the Advisory Agency level. The comments have been
responded to. Mr. McCabe showed the Board a memo drafted by Steve
Streeter, environmental review, that was never finalized that contains
a summary of the project. There were comments made about the
deficiency of the EIR. The initial draft was prepared by Cook and Associates.
There has been a lot added to the EIR. The EIR was reviewed by staff and
there was an opportunity for the public agency and the public to comment
on it. This has been done. It is the county`s responsibility to make
sure the EIR is complete. He felt the EIR was Factual and complete.
There is a very lengthy list of mitigation measures and conditions for
the project. These conditions deal with flooding, the canal, the concern
about vegetation. There is a fence requirement along the canal. The response
for afire truck is two minutes from the Kelly Ridge Fire Station. There
is also some discussion about agriculture. There is a letter in the EIR
rom Jerry Smith, farm advisor, who concludes there will be no significant
impact on ~icultur.e.caused by the subdivision.
Mr. McCabe stated that the rezone for a bwer density was
pending. It is not consistent with the General Plan. A one acre zone
is not an agricultural zone. The effort is nat to preserve agriculture.
The opponents do not oppose all development. They want something less
dense. Some of the people who are opposed have indicated they will drop
their opposition if they could develop their own property. He was
referring to Ms. Rockwell. Mr. McCabe stated that if the Board looked
at the opposition closely and the 283 petition signatures they would find
that 62 of the signers really live on Oakvale or Oakvale Court or Crane or
22% of the total. Others are further away. Of the G2 people, 90% of them
live on small sewered lots. Some of the signers of the petition are as
far away as Chico and Thermalito.
RECESS: 3:02 p.m.

b. Michael Glaze, representing developer. Mr. Glaze stated
that nothing new had been presented at the Board level that was not
presented at theAdvisory Agency level. He prepared the draft EIR. This
was a spring board to receive comments. Mr. Glaze spoke on the questions
regarding the development. He quoted from the state publication, "A
Urban Strategy for California." This project is consistent with that
strategy. Mr. Glaze spoke regarding the lot depth. The criteria for
lot depth is the average lot depth. This exists at 100 feet. Mr. Glaze
spoke regarding the deadend streets and the cul-de-sac. During construction
there will be a temporary cul-de-sac. This is not a typical deadend street.
There is an intersection about 120 feet below it.
Mr. Peterson stated that in the area where they wanted low
density, the Planning Commission approved it and the Board of Supervisors
went against the zoning.
Mr. Hartman stated that there is no where that he has seen where
anyone was granted a variance for roads that exceeded 500 feet.
Mrs. Hartman spoke regarding the shading on the map. Mr. Blake
had pointed out that the white area was the area where there was no
opposition. This area has the Ophir School and the locationof another
planned subdivision. She did not feel that this development would
preserve the identity of their rural agricultural neighborhood.
Hearing closed to-the public and confined to the Board.
Earl Nelson, environmental review director, asked that the
Board continue consideration so that he might have a chance to look at the
amnments made by the people at the meeting. He would like to have time
to grepare findings far the Board and comment on anything that needs
comments.
Supervisor Winston felt that the people at the hearing
were entitlei~uto know how the Board felt nn the matter. He remembers when
Mr. Tapper built his subdivision. One acre parcels were not hard to maintain
because they were on a septic system. This area was zoned; the general
plan was adopted. He has listened to the environmental concerns raised
at the hearing. There is a population impact in the entire state. In
this case there is "A-R" zoning and a general plan for maximum density
residential uses. He believed in preservation of prime agricultural land.
The- Board has been told to build in the rocky foothills. The Board has
then been told not to build in the foothills. He wondered where they were
going to put people in Butte County. He felt that the east foothill area
is that area that development should be done in.
Supervisor Dolan stated that it was her understanding that
the sewer line would have to be extended for the development. At least it
is available. The drainage facilities axe not constructed. They are not
adequate to services the existing development. There is a problem with the
vagueness of the conditions. The conditions do not add any of the
suggested mitigation measures. She wondered who was going to maintain the
asphalt walkways. The Board cannot ignore the testimony and information
on traffic and drainage. If it is approved they must do something.
She felt the testimony today was much stronger than in the Advisory
Agency minutes and the EIR.
Discussion of flooding in Butte County held at this time.
All water from Butte County ends up in the Feather River to Sacramento River
and on down to the delta.

80- It was moved by Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
3 that the Board approve a motion of intent to approve the project and direct
the Environmental Review Department to prepare findings for the project.
Supervisor Dolan stated that the Advisory Agency passed on the
findings and the overriding considerations. When hearings come up within
study areas of the General Plan the Board must remember there is a petition
on file to rezone this area and change the general plan.
Bettye Blair, planning director, stated that there has been
an application submitted requesting a rezoning. It was not consistent
with the General Plan.
Supervisor Winston stated that the Board had received a letter
from the Farm Advisor. He is an expert at make an agricultural land
definition. He said that it was not viable agricultural land.
Supervisor Dolan agreed that Mr. Smith was an expert.
He is not farming in the area. The Board has to listen to the people who are
farming in the area. She stated that the definition of prime agricultural
land was a complex decision.
Vote on motion:
AYES: Supervisor Moseley, Wheeler, Winston and Chairman Lemke
NOES: Supervisor Dolan
Motion carried.
Bill Sherman asked if the Board was going to allow the developer
to proceed or come in with drainage solutions.
Mr. Sherman was advised that this was a motion of intent and
the Board weuld make the final decision after the comments have been
responded to.

~ concerns during the hearings on the general plan change. She submitted
a newspaper clipping regarding the killing of cattle. Services are at least
ten miles from the proposed subdivision. The Department of Fish and Game
have said that this would hinder wildlife in the area. There will be
~roblem with dogs increasing in the area. This could have a potential effect
n the economic structure for livestock. The traffic problems are great.
The people are being required to find their own water. She spoke regarding
an illegal subdivision to the west of this subdivision. There will be
problems with erosion. There is a great deal of use by offroad vehicles
at this time. Mosquitoes are a health hazard in this area. This area is
in the main earthquake area.
2. Bill Geddis. Mx. Geddis stated that he had prepared the
draft EIR for the Bradley subdivision. The zoning is "A-5" zoning. These
parcels are 20 acre minimum parcels size. The property adjoining the
property has a well. There are conditions that must be met. These include
water and wastewater disposal. He felt that with the increase of people.
in the area there was a good chance that vandalism would be decreased.
The subdivision that is currently in existence was a subdivision that
has been in existence since 1896.
Heaxing closed to the public and confined to the Board.

PUBLIC HEARING: BRIAN HEINZ - APPEAL OF ADVISORY AGENCY`S CONDITION
RELATING TO A 60-FOOT EASEMENT ON TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP, TWO LOTS,
AP b5-21-02, PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF SKYWAY, BETWEEN CEDAR
LAKES DRIVE AND EVERGREEN DRIVE, PARADISE PI_NES_ARE_A
The public hearing on Brian Heinz appeal of Advisory Agency's
condition relating to a 60-foot easement on tentative parcel map, two
lots, AP 65-21-02, property loc ted on the east side of Skyway, between
Cedar Lakes Drive and Evergreer~rive, Paradise area was held at this time.
Clay Castleberry, public works director, set out the background
of the appeal. This is a division into two parcels, one in the back and
one in the front. The county requires a 60-foot easement to all parcels.
The remaining parcel is 195' x 110' or 115'. It has the legal ability
to be redivided. Mr. Heinz is asking for a 25-foot easement. The parcel
is being developed for mini-storage. He recommended that the Board not
go below a 50-foot easement.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing:
1. Brian Heinz. Mr. Heinz stated that there is mini-storage
on the property at the present time. Since the time that there was

approval, he has build a building on the property. When the county
looked at the paxcel earlier they forgot to deduct the 60-foot easement.
The front lot would not be legal with the 60-foot easement because of
the leachlines. He asked that the Board approve a 25-foot easement so
that he could meet the sanitation requirements. The $20,000 building is
now located in the wrong place. The road was originally on the north
side of the property and Public Works decided that the road should be on
the south end of the property. There is another 60-foot easement that
goes back to the back parcel. There are two 100-'- x 120' buildings on
the property. There is room for two more buildings.
2. Ralph Heinz. Mr. Heinz stated that he would have no
objection to having the lot not be divided.
