Western Pacific is considering expansion of its yards; it would mean the closing
of the Marysville~Baggett crossing, They stated that this was not a threat
or anything, but the design of this expansion is that they would have to .
close this road; this is a dangerous crossing at this time, If the Board can
approve this closing; the chances of getting this expansion would be good,
This would mean getting more people to work in this County; the payroll
would help the economy in the County.

moving the diesel shops and maintenance division here from Stockton,

closed and then the county could work to get a underpass, He said that
Oroville needs the labor market that this would help.

should cooperate in this matter, Mr, McCloud set out the first phase of the

principle of closing the crossing.

if the Board does not allow the corporation to proceed, he submits the

by this Board approximately a year agoo
7:20 p,m., SUPERVISOR MAXON NOW IN ATTENDANCE
Mr, Kemp said the people have met every requirement and are
asking if there is anything further they can do to justify remaining
on the pexmito He said if the Board revokes the permit there would
be existing chances of filing a claim against the County. He said
$101,004 has been spent out-of-pocket, relying on the use permit for
a year. Secondly, over $300,000 in bills are outstanding. If a claim
were filed, the total claimed would be over $500,000. Vistec has done
all they possibly could do on the basis of the use permit which runs
out September 14th. "Putting the matter off would be the same as
cancelling it," He said a Good Faith application was made to the Board;
apparently, Good Faith approval was made; a Good Faith effort was made
to comply; they have present ability and want to build the project. Yet,
the Board wants to stop them,
Page 232, July 26, 1972
July 26, 1972
Juanita Sherill Duel asked questions as to purpose of Vistec,
they were answered by Supervisor Gilman. She is against the development
planned by Vistec.
John Stutz, Box 372, Chico, read from an article in the news-
paper some time ago, indicating Vistec promised not only to be meeting
conditions required by the Board but had taken on other conditions and
then came to the use permit. Originally, they expected to be annexted
to the City of Chico. He said, now, the Board is asking impossible
conditions, according to Vistec.
Eric Bathers, Mayor of the City of Chico, states the City Council
has always said that Vistec is a fine development but in the wrong place
as far as they are concerned. They are perfectly willing to annex the
area to the City of Chico, providing it conforms to the zoning regulations
provided by the City of Chico and their Council,
Gene Ringel, registered engineer and member of the City Council
of Chico is heard regarding the dispelling of natural resources.
Supervisor Douthit asked Mayor Bathers about high density and
agricultural areas and the mayor replied briefly.
David W. Bailey is heard regarding people [.ono have made their
living for sixty years or so from the trees on land adjoining. Taxes
are being raised because of improvements on proposed project.
Mr. Kemp said the Board has its power up until the property
right has been bought up, has ability to change the use permit.
Thelma Cummin s, Route 2, Box 226, spoke about the building of
high-rise buildings for college students and that trees have since been
planted and are growing nicely.
Michael Perelman, Economic Professor, Chico State College, "If
a man is encouraged to plant almond trees, he would, naturally, think it
would be in a minimum density area." Agriculture areas come into the
tax question, too.
Sidney Thomas, Route 2, Box 288, is heard, Against putting up
apartments all over the agricultural lands.
Robert Britton, 1616 Bidwell Avenue is heard. He said Vistec
said they were annexing to the City of Chico but they did not submit the
application forms. He thinks the Board has a right to rescind the use
permit,
Ringel submitted that Vistec has spent thausands of dollars.
Fran Wagstaff of Bidwell Avenue is in sympathy with the Board
and not in favor of the use permit for Vistec.
Chairman Gilman asked for anyone in favor of Vistec to be heard.
No one spoke. He then asked of the audience a show of hands of those
opposed. There was large applause and general indication that the majority
in the audience are opposed to Vistec.
Page 233, July 26, 1972
A general discussion followed in which Mr. Kemp denied there
was any high density involved and mentioned that the use permit as
prepared September 28th gives the Vistec people the right to build their
project, Chairman Gilman is heard in rebuttal, the Board has considered
the use permit and there are records to indicate a consideration as to
c~ianging the terms of the use permit. Supervisor Ladd is heard, saying
there is no doubt in the minds of the Board Members nor in the minds of
the people as to the feelings of all concerned. Supervisor Maxon is
heard with regard to ??oth the Board and Vistec acting in good faith.
He cannot see how a government can grant a use permit one month and
a few months later deny its use. In his estimation the Board is liable
to the citizens of Butte County.
Supervisor Madigan made three motions:
I. To maintain the present position in this matter and take no action
at this time.
2. To revoke the use permit
3. To table the matter and give Supervisor Ladd and Supervisor Douthit
time to become better acquainted with the matter and take it up next
Tuesday. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Ladd.
Further discussion was held with the following participating:
Chairman Gilman - Hates to delay
Supervisor Ladd - Legal action is not his main concern tonight.
S. E. Shapiro - commented on density, at the request of
Chairman Gilman
Michael Perelman - asking the decision be made in Chico
Ruth Schaud - objecting to postponement of decision.
Gene Ringel - answered Supervisor's question about high
density
Jim Lawson -explaining density, 1 to 4 or 5 to 8
John Stuts - saying original plan shows 5 to 8 persons per acre
Sohn Wallen
Millie Stutz - farming is not limited to Large acreages
8:45 p.m, RECESS
8:55 p.m. RECONVENED
The Board was asked if there were any objections to meeting i.n
Chico to make the decision,
Supervisor Gilman amended his motion to: Table the matter and
take it up at a special session in the Chico Veterans' Memorial Building
on Wednesday evening, at 7:30 p,m,, August 2, 1972.
The motion carried with the following vote:
AYES: Supervisors Ladd, Maxon, Madigan, and Chairman Gilman
NOES: Supervisor Douthit
Chairman Gilman thanked the audience for their attendance and
patience and good behavior. He appreciated their coming to such hearings
time after time after time and hear him say, "Just one more time."
More general discussion followed, It seemed the public desired
to be heard, Participating this time were: Millie Stutz, Robert Britton,
Chuck Harvey (concerned at4out the safety of his children), Michael Perelman,
Chairman Gilman, Chairman Gilman then read a letter from the League of
Women Voters of Butte County and a letter from David W, Lantis.
Page 234. July 26, 1972
Supervisor Ladd asked how many would be interested and come out
in support of a zoning, AR-20. Several participated in the general
discussion that followed. After the discussion, a gentleman who failed to
identify himself objected to putting the meeting or the decision off for
another week. Upon being answered by Chairman Gilman rather firmly, he
left the room.
At 9:32 p.m., the public hearing closed and the Board proceeded
with other matters.
A motion made by Supervisor Douthit to have a letter sent to
the contractor on the new Courts Building to hold the contractor harmless
and allow the furniture to be installed without his being held liable
for damages. The second was made by Supervisor Ladd. The motion carried
unanimously,
There was a discussion of a proposed project on the Sacramento
River, The Board suggested there be a re-hearing and it has been set for
Friday. Tt was the concurrance of the Board to send George Stamm as a
representative of the Board. Since Supervisor Madigan has served on the
Reclamation Board and is knowledgable on the situation, he explained the
situation. Supervisor Madigan made the motion to send George Stamm and
the motion was seconded by Supervisor Maxon, The motion carried by an
unanimous vote.
ADJOURNMENT•
There being nothing further before the Board at this time, the
meeting was adjourned at 11:40 p.m, to reconvene on Tuesday, August 1, 1972,
