property located south of the Middle Fork of Lake Oroville, north of
the South Fork of Lake Oroville and west of the townsite of Feather Falls,
containing twelve square miles, more or less was held as continuedo
Chairman Winston gave the background on the rezone. There was
a meeting with the groups involved in the board room. The result of this
meeting was that the Planning Department was instructed to prepare a map
that would reflect the cancensus.
Jim Lawson planning director, set out the background of the
area. Some areas have 20 to 30% slopes and some have over 30% slope.
The proposal is to eliminate the steep areas from the smaller size.
The Planning Department went from the TM series along the perimeter and
the left corridor and worked with the FHRR series. When the land was
relatively £lat, where it did not exceed 20% slope, the FHRR-2 area was
used. With a slope of 20% the TM-5 series was used. This is a ratical
change from the original proposal. It may be wise to have another advertised
hearing if the board considers the Planning Department proposal. The
commercial zoning was deleted from the proposal.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing:

1. Bob Byus, president, CMR Taxpayers Association. Mr. Byus
stated that the Association is trying to get the area rezoned. They
have produced a workable plan that can be in the best interest of the
land owners. It is now time for action.
2, Bruno Wocjick, representing CMR Taxpayers Association. Mr.
Wocjick stated that he would like to cover some very important points.
Mr. Wocjick stated that the letter from Sacramento was provoked by the
opposition and contains some half-truths. Mr. Wocjick stated that the
letter contains a statement regarding forty acres of commercial zoning.
This is not true. There is 12-1/2 acres of commercial in a totals of
7,000 acres. This is less than 1%. Mr. Wocjick stated that if the board
cannot see their way clear to zone this area commercial then could they
hold 'this in abeyance until the general plan can be modified. Most of the
small acreage was purchased from the Bureau of .Land Management and has
government patents. The general plan designation in the letter is not
correct. The map of the area shows this as grazing with low density not
agricultural open space. Mr. Wocjick set out the definition of open
space as given in the general plan. Mr. Wocjick stated that this has
been going on for almost five years. The CMR Taxpayers Association is
asking the board to consider the workable proposal as presented by the
Associationo Mr. Wocjick stated that the Association is representing
better than $0% of the land areao Better than 70% of the landowner
groups are represented. The opposition represents less than 5% of the
landowners. This is less than 4% of the land area. Mr, Wocjick stated
that the proposal should be approved for the following reasons.:
1, They are asking for a more restrictive zone.
2, The Association does not oppose the 1'arger minimum where the slopes
are great.
3. It seems at the most, future potential for the number of new parcels
would be about 1,000 created.
4, The government patents give the landowners rights that the P'IiRR
fulfills.
5. The proposal does conform to the general plan.
6. The Planning Commission has approved the proposal,
7. The Planning Director has approved the proposal,
8. This proposal represents the vast majority of the people, including
the local Grange.
Mr. Lawson set out the major difference between the two proposals.
Mr. Lawson stated that the board had directed these people to do their
own thing, You cannot tell the people to do their own thing and have a
Planning Department follow good planning p~zxcigles- and come up with the
same thing. Mr. Lawson stated that he was told to come up-with a
compromise and that is what the Planning Department proposal that is before
the board is. Mr. Lawson stated that the Association did a good job
of doing what they were told.
3. John Luvvas, representing a group of property owners. Mr.
Luvvas stated that Mr, Wocjick does not know how many people he represents.
Mr, Luvvas stated that he did not know how many people he was representing.
Mr. Luvvas stated that A-2 zoning is not a lawful zone. To suggest that
A-2 is so bad and therefore anything is better is not a good thing.

March 14, 1978
March 14, 1978
The area is being zoned for the first time. The Planning Director has
stated that he does not think that the CMR proposal makes any sense
and the Planning Department proposal is not what a planner's proposal
should beo There has been opposition to any kind of zoningo Mra Luvvas
stated that he is still of the opinion that an EIR is legally required.
He does not waive the objections and:.araygropasal must be subjected to
environmental review. Even our proposal should be reviewed for environ-
mental impact. Mr. Luvtras stated that Mr. Wocjick had stated that the
government deeds allowed this. Deeds say you have full and complete
title to this land, Deeds are subject to local zoning control, It was
mentioned that 2-712 acre parcels cover the area. There are a good
many 100s of lots in 5, 10, 80 and 200 acre parcel sizes. Most of the
area is under open space in the general plan. This does not allow
professional uses and small residential parcels. Mr. Luvvas stated
that there are a number of people who would like to~speak and he would
like to speak after they axe finished and come back with a proposal for
an alternative.
The matter is continued to laterrin the meeting.

the street. If the carport is placed within the required distance this
would cut off his view. Mr. Outlaw stated that he would be willing to
go back 2-1/2 feet from the post. Mro Outlaw stated that the only
objection the Board of Zoning Adjustment had was that of the Eire Department.
Mra Outlaw has contacted Mr. Paulus and Mr. ,Paulus does not care if the
carport is placed on this area.

problem had at this time, It was felt that to add onto an existing
structure did not meet the requirements for a variance.

78-490 PRESENTATION TO, THE BOARD E'ROM REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE D17PARTMENT
OF FISH AND Gt3ME CONCERNING NEW DEER HUNTING PROPOSALS
Bob Lassen, regional manager, Department of Fish and Game, stated
that this was a follow up to the meeting held with the association on
February 10, 1978. The deer proposals are a substantial change and
are part of the element of the deer managment plan. This is a deer
hunting proposal. The proposal has been presented to quite a number of
people through the State as fax as Northern California sportsmen,
Mr, Lassen stated that he would like to tell the board some of the parts
of the proposals that are responsible to legislation from AB 1521.
This would be for control of hunting in certain areas. The sportsmen
in California accept the fact that there are needed changes in the
management of the deer program. The state has been divided into herd
management units. The hunting will be controlled by and managed by the
management units. Mr, Lassen had a map of the different areas. The
blue area was defined as quota allowed only. As recently as this week
there have been modifications. There were three basic areas of controversy:
1. The quota areas.
2. Archery hunting, Once a person hunted during the archery season he
would not be allowed to hunt with a rifle.
3. Not allowing out of state hunkers to hunt in quota areas.
The proposals have been modified:
1, There will be no quota hunts in the state. There will be zoned hunts.
2, Archery hunters will not be restricted as originally proposed,
3. There will be no restriction on the out, of state hunters.
Mr. Lassen stated that the reason the restriction was taken
off for the out of state hunters is because the hunters from California
to other states is about 100 to 1. This could mean that the other states
would not allow California hunters to hunt in their states.
Discussion of the Geramandy Bill had at this time, Mr, Lassen
stated that he presumed that this would no longer apply.
Mr. Glen Burke questioned Mr. Lassen regarding the zone hunting.
Mr. Lassen stated that the hunter would limited to the zone he chooses.

of agencies were picked because they showed interest in the study.
Mr. Nickelson stated that the one consultant that is being considered
is EDAW, Elliott, Dean, Altman and Williams. They have done a lot of
large studies similar to this. Mr. Nickelson stated that he suggested
that the committee-meet with a representative from EDAW and discuss the
aspects of what would need to be done ,and possibly come back with the
recommendation that EDAW be retained. Mr. Nickelson stated that they
did not talk with local consultants at all. As far as the county knows
there are no agencies with the experience.
Mr. Bandy stated that his office is attempting to do as much
as possible. Mr. Sandy stated that he wanted the information to be
