APPEARANCE: TOM STRUTHERS
Tom Stru#hers, purchasing office, spoke in regardsko SB-374 the
Holmdahl bill which would eliminate the :mandate.in'•.the:1aw for the+implementatian of 911
by 1984 which would benefit the county. It would also eliminate the 3/4.of
.1% surcharge on telephane bills, if it passes it would end at the end of December.
Having the 911 number is a desirable-; thing but it puts this county in dserinus
funding positiono The initial cost of. the telephone system was $34,000 to'$40,000
to be ~colil•ea#ed through the surcharge:. It was noted that Shasta Caunty had
expended a total of about $400,000 a year for dispatching services. 'The 911,.
number is about the same cost as dispatching services. There was discussion on
the great need for receiving help as rapidly as possible ~, On the inside cover
of the telephone book there are 30 different individuals to. call and a person
is not always sure ~ylrch~ .agency to call.
1334
SB 374 would allow the county on an individual basis to go to the
voters and ask for a tax to subsidize 9l 1 with a 2/3 majority of the voters.
The funds that have already been collected through the surcharge
would go to existing 911 centers.
$up.ervisor Winston felt they were better off without the State of California
mandate .
Chairman Lemke supports the removal of the mandate but hesitates to
cut off any possibility of receiving the surcharge. He did not favor going back to
the voters. He stated he favored Supervisor•_ Winston's stand on removing the'
mandate position until we get the county street names worked out as"'f'it will cause
more problems.
Dq-motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Wheeler and
carried that they write Assemblyman Stan Statham and indicate our support of ''.the
HoJrradalil Bill regarding 911.

Dick Molcar, environmental review department, set nut the background
of the environmental impact report. It is a proposed mobile home park of 231 baits
on 39 acres. There will be a 40 foot buffer fronting on 99. The present use is
agricultural. The present impact includes conforming from agriculture to_ low agriculture
use. The soil is nofi prime, it is vino clay loam. The primary impact is traffic
increase and noise. A letter from Caltran indicates they feel a traffic signal should
be placed by the on and off ramps. It is low density use and conforms with the
General Plan. The other impact factor would be the drainage increase as 40°!0 of
the area would be covered. There aredrainage facilities in the area that could
accomodate the increase. There is a mobile home park adjacent to the property
and agriculture uses throughout the area. There will be a public service demand
such as the fire department and schools. The park is to be an adult park so it
is felt there will be no great demands on the public schools in the area.
Supervisor Dolan questioned the traffic I fight expense, Mr. Molcar
stated the contractor was to contribute towards the I fight. The park would be
within the Shasta Union Drainage District. ,
Bettye Blair, planning director, set out the background and stated
the Board had copies of Planning Commission's minutes, staff findings and all
other correspondence regarding the proposed mobile home park. Ms. Blair
stated the use permit had been before the Planning Commission and they had
required a draft impact report when it came before them in September 1978.
Supervisor Dolan questioned if i t was within the Keefer-Garner
study area. Ms. Blair said no. There is a park to the south that at this time is
in the process of being developed.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing:
1 . Jon Anderson, Chico. The engineer for the park stated they
studied the area and newspapers as to what was .available. They felt this site
was not good agriculture land and the soil was not prime. Concerning schools
there was Shasta Elementary Schoo! District and closeby was McManus School
which was under capacity and since this was to be an adult park this was not a
major concern. He felt the traffic would not be of great significance that the
Imhoff park would cause an increase of abaut four times what is currently being
used. He questioned the recommendafions of staff concerning Hicks Lane and
Sycamore Drive. They felt Sycamore Drive was a cul de sac. He has discussed
this matter with Mr. Castleberry.
Supervisor Dolan questioned the Sycamore Drive and Hicks Lane
entrances. Mr. Ainderson stated the Sycamore Drive exit would not be used and
it was to 6e barnicaded.
Mr. Anderson felt the Shasta Union Drainage District could handle the
flow of drainage . The existing soil is aidobe clay ~Ioam and the property currently
has good run-off, it is going to be increased but they feel~it:wi;ll~not be a big
prob! em .
2. Ronald Imhoff, Chico. He felt the impact report speaks for itself.
They have redrawn the plans to back off the street so that the park will be surrounded
by frame houses. The back will. have a two way gate, it is of a type that people
Page 43.
August' 14, 1979

a
August 14, 1979
would have to drive through the wrong way and he felt they would not have the same
type of problem other parks have been having recently. He felt this property was the
number one choice and possibly the only use for it. They had picked this site so
there would not 6e a number of impacts. The park next to their. property was in
the courts at the time they started plans and wasn't available to them. They plan
to leave 175 prune trees and did not feel it would be reducing the value of the
surrounding properties. Mr. Imhoff stated they invited the neighboring property
owners to write up their own deed restrictions. No one responded but the offer is
still open.
3. Charles Bird, Chico. He was objecting to the park. He felt it
was a loss of vital prime orchard land. He would object to any.:mobile home park
in the area.
4. Tom Mann, Chico. He felt they would be putting six homes to an
acres at the park and felt this was more than it should be. The mobile home park is
consistent with the General Plan.
5. Don Curtis, Todd Court-Chico, He felt they should add to the
impact report the traffic and schools.
6. DeVeFe~Pace, Chico. He has been living in a home near the proposed
park for i5-20 years. He has seen a lot of changes and the orchard has had a'useful
life and he would approve this project.
7. Clark Imhoff, Chico. There are five relatives working on this park.
He commented on the different families in the area and stated they had received no
objections from the people. This piece of property had a use permit issued for it
before they bought it to develop a subdivision. The permit had expired.
8. Steve Raley, Chico. He stated he had lived in a mobile home
for eight years and lived adjacent to a mobile home park. He sells mobile homes.
Insurance companies have stated they are 1 .37% better than stick houses as a fire
risk. They are equiped with smoke alarms, fire proof carpeting and draperes. Top
quality people buy mobile homes. The price of houses are so high that people. are
looking for more economical housing.
Supervisor Wheeler stated there is a bill in the state legislature to tax
mobile homes as a unit.
9. Joe Castle, Chico. Mr. Castle was concerned about the high
energy consumption, large traffic flow and storm drainage. He felt it was going
to lower the value of the surrounding property.
10. Doug Meyers, Chico. He was opposed to the park and expressed
concern regarding the schools in the area. He had no objections to single family
developments.
11 . Jay Garner, Chico. He is not opposed to this development. Garner
Lane was named after his great grandfather. He believes we should preserve our
farm land but he felt an individual should make the best use nut of the land. He
felt that increased densities should be in an orderly manner and he felt this park
was in this manner.

12. Sue-Blizman Chico. Ms. Bli~an. was opposed to the park' because
of traffic. She felt this area should be !<ept in one acre parcels as it now exists.
When asked by Supervisor Winston if she would object to a single family area she
stated no.
i 3. James Magner, Chico. Mr. Magner stated that in the past year
he has been employed to research the availability of mobile homes and parks in
fihis area. He felt there was a great need for additional parks. This area was.
going to be developed soon and felt a park was a good use for the land. He felt
the proposed park is an exceptionally quality park and there would be i75 foot
buffer around it.
14. Dexter Blindberry, Chico. Mr. Blandberry felt the traffic would
be the same even 'if they did',not develop the park.-.:'They have met several times
with the property owners in the area. They have built three mobile home communities
in •~hico.7_ike parks in southern California. He felt the density would be the same.
RECESS: 11:15 a.m.
RECONVENE: 11:25 a.m.
Mr. Ronald Imhoff introduced Dave Kalbac~h.. He is in real estate and
Mr. Imhoff requested him to study the matfier when the Planning Commission turned
down their use permit.
i5. Dave Kalbach, Chico. Mr. Kalbac:hpresented a map to each of
the Board members with certain areas colored and numbered. There were nine
different sites including the Imhoff site. One site was a slaughter house off of
Highway 32. What they look for in locating possible sites is a minimum of 30 acres,
40 acres is ideal. Some of the sites were too close in or too expensive. Mr. KalbacJn
discussed the prices of homes today average in the upper $80,000 to $90,000 and
the majority of people can not afford those prices. He discussed the concerns:
involved when attempting to locate a mobile home sitesurch as traffic, drainage
problems and schools. Today the Butte County ordinance states ten units per.acre
primarily single wides are used to achieve this. Double wides or T-units ma!<es
the density fall off. He felt there was a definite need in this area for mobile homes.
16. Don Curtis, Chico. He is a member of the Eaton Home Owners
Association and hasspoker~Fo most of the people in the Hicks Lane and Eaton Road
area during the past 8-10 months. He felt there was the appeal of the orchard and
they realized they could not stop progress. An individual buying their home is still
the largest investment they make in their lifetime.
17. Frank Blizman, Chico. Mr. Blizman would like to see one acre
parcels. The real estate agents state there is a demand for one acres. He was concerned
about the increase of traffic on Hicks Lance and Sycamore Lane.
18. Tom MciCready,Chico. Mr. McCready stated that to develop you
must go to the north and east. There is a shortage of mobile home sites. There are
limited areas in the "A-2" zones where you can place a mobile home. It is possible
it will be subdivided if the park is not approved. There will be a 175 foat fringe of
houses.
Hearing closed to the public and confined to the Board.

Chairman Lemke stated during recess he had received a note from Lynn
Vanhart, environmental health director, requesting that if the permit is approved it
be subject fo fhe 1-balth Departments regulations and the Air Quality Board .
Supervisor Dolan questioned conditions which came down from the
Planning Commission in regards to drainage.
Clay Castleberry, public works director, stated it would depend on
whether the channel was man made or natural.
Supervisor Wheeler stated everyone recognizes that it takes 37 to 40
acre' `parcels for agriculture land. The people have no objections to single family
or subdivision so it appears that the people are opposed to a mobile home park and
not to taking prime agriculture land.
Supervisor Dolan stated she had read al! of the information very carefully
from the Planning Commission minutes and felt they should uphold the decision of
the Planning Commission. She felt it was the density not the location of the mobile
home park.
Supervisor Winston stated that from Mrs. Lamberts motion she based it
on the fact the site was an orchard and they should preserve the agriculture land.
Mr. Winston felt it was determined .that agriculture land was not the major concern
of those objecting to the park.
Supervisor. Dolan made a motion that the .use permit be denied on the
findings of the Planning Commission .
Motion dies for lack of a second.
Supervisor Moseley felt there was a lot of talk about the wise use of
land but it takes very little land for a retired individual or widowed person to take
care of. She has a lot of friends and family who live in mobile homes who otherwise
could not afford to own or were capable of handling more than an acre of land.
Supervisor Dolan stated she would like a list of findings and the mitigation
measures of the Environmental Review's impact report and conditions that would have
been submitted had the Planning Commission approved the use permit.
On motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Wheeler and
carried, a motion of intent to approve the Imhoff use permit subject to a set of findings
being prepared from the Environmental Review and Planning staff and the findings to
include mitigation findings from material received from the Health Department regulations
was approved.
AYES: Supervisors Moseley, Wheeler, Winston and Chairman Lemke

correct this error.
