1, Mr, Dan Drake, Piedmont Circle, Chico, Mr, Drake presented written
matters that he felt would be of. inter.~ast to the Board members, He explained the
request for the rezoning, He stated that this rezorircg would give 'the applicant
better use of the land, He explained the area involved, The property can meet
all the requirements for drainage; it wi11 drain into Chico Creek. The property
could be serviced with. septic tanks and leach lines, The Go::nty road could carry
the tx'aff.ic that would generate from this development.

Dr, Shultz read "his written starement. He stated he had purchased 'this property
in 1960, Sinee that dime he has gone to considerable expense to have this property
developed for multiple dwellings. Threes were planted at that time to shield the
homes. beach lines were put in; he explained how:he had prepared this properly
to handle his request for the use permit. He said it was well known that 4 acres
does not comprise a.n economical agriculicural venture, He said it would create
a great economical hardship to him if he is not allowed to develope this property.
He said they were busing their appeal an the fact that the only feasible use for
the property is for multiple dwel.li.ngs. They urgently requested that the Board
approve their request for rezoning and for the use permit.
