that they have been found to be consistent with Butte County General Plan
and that negative declarations have been filed with the County Clerk.
Supervisor Cememn stated that he doesn't feel these maps should
require full subdivision standard roads. There is already a gravel road
which is much better than the other roads in the area.
Background of the matter set out. Apparently Mr. Lippincott
was hired by one of the parties. As he was doing hie work, the other
party asked him to survey their property at the same time. Supervisor
Cameron stated that he has talked to the people and is satisfied that
this is not a subdivision. He felt that if these had not been presented
at the same time, nothing would. have been said.
Supervisor Richter felt that although this is not an intended
subdivision, the outcome will be a subdivision and he feels that the road
should be built to subdivision standards as recommended. Mr. Castlebery
stated that his office had felt this was a subdivision and had recommended
the full subdivision standards. He feels that the road should be paved.
Brian Rix, deputy county counsel, explained the questions he
had asked the parties involved at the Planning Commission hearing. It
did not appear that this is a subdivision.
Supervisor Madigan suggested that this be seat beak to the
Planning Commission. Chairman Ladd stated that Che Board doesnb have
any way of knowing what the Planning Commission based their votes on.
Supervisor Cameron didn't feel that anything would be gained from sending
this back to the Planaiug Commission.
Discussion o£ the motion and the paving requirement. Supervisor
Cameron doesn't feel the road needs paving. Diacuasion of whether to
require paving or not. Supervisor Richter and Mr. Castleberry felt that
the paving should be required. Mr. Lawson showed the Board a map of the
area and explained the sizes of the lots,
Supervisor Cameron restated hie previous motion deleting the
requirement o£ the road. Motion died for lack of a second.
On motion of Supervisor Cameron, seconded by Supervisor McKillop
and unanimously carried, the Board approved the following parcel maps,

paved road subdivision standards, with the findings that they have been
feund to be consistent rnith the Butte County General Plan rnd that negative
