She wauld not recommend at this time all of'the;axEabe placed in these special crop designations. Hearing open to the public. Appearing: 1, Mike Greer, City of Gridley Councilman, stated the City of Gridley was not aware of what was happening as far as the zoning was concerned, Previously there had been meetings with Bob Geiser of the county Planning staff, He felt Planning Commission should have notified the city. This is within their Sphere of Influences They want to know .what is happening. They did not get any input. Supervisor Wheeler stated she felt they wexe aware and had an active participation. Ms. Blair stated in her file there was correspondence with the City of Gridley in June of 1981. There was a letter from David McIntpre. Supervisor Dolan stattdiit was a matter of timing with the General Plan changes and now the rezoning.

The Planning Commission is to make a study on the specialized crops. Tt will remain in "A-40" until Planning completes the study, Mr. Hamlin questioned what guarantee did they have the zoning would be changed. The people would be against the overall zoning. There is one Gridley project coming upe People are wanting to plant kiwi's and they need the five acre parcels, Chairman Moseley stated the people and staff was working on it. You can guarantee nothing. She is only on~nember on the Boardo Gridley does not have much area~to~grow. Everyone went along with the General Plan., The "A-40" is a way out. She discussed the problem with placing the five acre parcels within the farming areas and problems they create. The Planning Commission realizes the problems and want to study this more. Many people and farmers in the area are willing to go with the ~0 acre parcels. There seems to have been a lack of communication between the Gxidley City Council and County and she would like to hold off a decision and bring this back. She felt maybe the people should become a little more responsible about these matterso Ms. Blair stated since they were talking about preserving agriculture in Butte County, they cannot really begin to talk about five acre parcels or the intent on broad areao Many cases it is five acreshome sites and it infringes on the intent of agriculture useso They would like to study the issue of kiwi's and special crPage Z~ly may want to provide for that type September•22, 1981 81- ~'' September 22, 1981 ~f land used They will have to consider whether specialized crops should be 5, 3 or 2 acres and if home sites for residences should be allowedo There sre the problems of spraying, dust and other agriculture uses when allowing smaller acreages close to the agriculture landso She would like to look at the "A-5" closer< Mr> Hamlin stated with kiwi's their problem is how many acres 3oes it take to make a livingo You need 80 acres to make a living with other crops except kiwis Eighty percent of California's industry is from agriculture such as fresh fruit, There is a time line now on the project in the Gridley areao People are wanting to get started an new projectso They do not have any guaranteeso They can go out and buy five acrese Talk is about 40 acres and the average person cannot get into ito He felt they were shuting Gridley out, Supervisor Dolan stated this was a large area~for the "A-5" zoning designation, maybe it will be in the areao There is a considerable amount being proposedo All of this area is now "A-2" and that allows just about everything but a rendering plants Kiwi's is not the only thing that can be growna Some may need larger parcelsa She has difficulty with thiso You need from 80 to 100 acres for peaches and prunes and then they would have a big problemo There is a real need to zone and to not conflict with the usese There is a need for special crops in Gridleyo There are some 40 acres involvedo Mro Hamlin stated a lot of the land is split into five acres nowo Most of the ranches will not be split up as they are in families and they will remain in the families and the farmingo It is easy to say "A-2", but it must first past a p.excol~aliion~e test9,environmental impact report and everyoneo You must p8y to split themo He was not as concerned about the Biggs areas Msa Blair stated it would take approximately 4 to 6 months to get this item back from Planning for Board consideration, The Planning Commission must study specific recommendationso She would defer to Counsel to whether they could hold hearings, discussions and if it would be required to readvertise to consider the five acrese Chairman Moseley stated the Planning Commission could say not to consider thato Mro Hamlin stated he still felt the Flanning Commission should decide that and have more views of it from the peopled The people are just starting to realize what the zone and the kiwi's will do and that there could be a specialized cropo 3> George Cox, Gridley, Manzanita area, stated when he left the last Board meeting the people in the audience was under the impression they were given the time to get together and discuss this issues The residents in the area would like to enter suggestions on the zoning in the area, Chairman°: Moseley stated there were many hearings.before the Planning Commission and input into the issueso It is difficult for them to send back to Planning after there is new input, If these discussions could take place at the Planning hearing levels it would be much betters She was prepared to get together with the area residentso The Board ten~hativel; asked Planning to consider zoning of "A-5" on the south line being Camp Road west and the extension of Camp Road which extends on to Turner, Areas were set out on the mapo Mro get some home He is a membe Cox stated he would like to see the five acres, They will siteso They could.;sti11 place two to three acres into kiwis r of the community and a farmers Page 272, September 22, 1981 81- d' September 22, 1981 _ - Supervisor Wheeler stated that would be astronomical costs-:for a person involved with a five acre parcel, There is a large investment on that and it takes 5 to 7 years to receive capital. There are not that many farms on five acres that are owned or investors backing themo They need a minimum of five acres, unless they are wanting x°anchettes, Msa Blair stated the issue of kiwi's and smaller parcels were not addressed at the Planning levelo If they could be assured it could be put into kiwi's it would be viable and of general planning contribution. There is mechanisms available to have a specialized crop zone. If Mre Cox should purchase property with 7Z acres he would be precluded, Staff would like to look at and come up with some alternatives-maintaining the larger agriculture zoning for residents for agriculture and zoning to limit it to five acres. Their concerns are for the integrity of the agriculture community not be ~mp_aaz:~d.

David McIntyre, City of Gridley, stated some of the Board's recommendations are within their Sphere of influence. One of the. concerns is preserve agriculture landsa They are concerned about checkerboard development. Development effects the public services of the people in Gridley. They must follow the rules. They would like to have a buffer zone between the city limits and the developmento They are requesting of developers provide a border of open ground and an easement on buffer zone by a 100 foot plus road. Chairman Moseley stated these are items she would like the Board to consider before approving the zoning on the maps She would like the Gridley Planning and Council to be able to review this zone change. 5. Jean Richins, Gridley, stated her family had planned to move to north Biggs on 9.3 acres which is presently zoned "A-2", If the proposal goes through it will change to "A-5". South of them there are two or four one:. acre parcels. The property is agriculture. The original homesite burned downs They have a large family and had plans to build, Because of finances it would be fantastic to purchase the two acres adjoining propertyo She realized the importance of agriculture. If they were able to purchase the parcels they would have 7.03 acres and would allow a buffer between the agriculture areas Ae1 Siemsen, acting county counsel, stated Mrs. Richins could proceed with their project, but it depends on the General Plan and orchard and field crop designation because of the criteria for less than 20 acre parcelso Ms. Blair stated homesite segregation of 9 acre:~parcels is set up for two homesites or residents.

There are 13,58 acres and he is requesting a zone change from "TM-5" to "TM-1". There will be 9 or 10 sites and will be set backs. A stream runs through the propertye Mr. Paulson a professional geology engineer will speak to the water in the area, A major problem in the area is afford- able housing. He plans to build solar and affordable-solar homes. He believes solar will perform better in the foothills because of the lack of fog, He plans to build 1. 0.0,0;0 :square foot homeso Page 276. September 22, 1981 83.- d' September 22, 1981 _ _ J Supervisor Saraceni stated there was some additional information which was contained in the geologists report which referenced to State Water Reports in 19760 He provided copies to the supervisors. 2, Wesley Paulson, professional engineer registered geologist, Chico, Mr. Paulson stated he and his staff did a lot of water supply and sewage supply information for Mr, Starr's development. He did detailed work for Mr. Martone and appeared before the Planning `.Commission. He has worked for the Bureau of Reclamation for 8 years, 5 of which was in Chico, He has lived in the Chico area for 19 years. There were questions which came up concerning water supply in the Forest Ranch area, He has worked in the Paradise Pines area. There has been problems with shallow wells in the Forest Ranch area. If the wells are not as deep as three feet they can be deplet,ed.;a, The same tuskin water supply is in the Pines area. Three to five people living in this area have adequate supporting water, even in the drought period. Water was even supplied to PID several years ago, He feels the ground water is very stable and good course of water supply. The water table ranges from 50 feet to 200300 feet. Martone`s was 200 feet. The tuskin formation is from 800 to 1,000 feet. There were significant points of water supply. In his opinion it has not been tapped significantly as yeto Present wells are obtaining water from the upper portion of the wall, He felt assured there would be water at all times for many more people than they will serve nowo Mr, Pauisnn displayed a graph which was prepared for the Martone project. Tt was pump tested. Tt showed no decline after several hours. They measured close to the Fitzgerald Trailer Court and the Mart which are much closer to Starr property and there was no effect.- On the sewage tests they dug adequate seals and standards of the State Quality Water Board with reasonable and highly successful with no damage to the water quality. Mr. Paulson answered Acting County _Counsel Del Siemsen that he would supply a copy of the graph he displayed for the Board for evidence. 3. Noel Williams, Cherry Lane, Forest Ranch, stated he felt the project fell within the General Plan. He is very much in favor of the solar home concept as well as building homes that are affordable to low and moderately low income people in Forest Ranch. 4. Tommy Varzo, Forest Ranch, stated he felt the geologist did a wonderful job of providing the information, There is a lot of no growth people in the area, This is planned development, Mr. Starr has researched water quality, septic quality, quality of living and affordable solar homeso He urged a yes vote, 5, Don Dorshalz, Forest Ranch, has lived in the area since June 1970. His one main concern was the issue of whether this has water and accesso He felt they were important in dealing with the report, There is a spring that runs about k0 to 50 gallons per minute of watero 6. Carl Finley, Forest Ranch, wanted to give his support to the project. 7. Paul Ord, Forest Ranch, felt the engineers report addressed the issues. He expressed his support for affordable solar housing in the area. 8. Gary Allspaugh, Forest Ranch, pointed out the fact agriculture land in the Chico area is being used for housing. Mr. Starr would not be using vital agriculture land. He is supportive of Mr. 5tarr's project, 9. Grover Jones, Forest Ranch, stated he had lived in the area since November 1963. He owned the Shell Service Station, served as the Volunteer Fire Chief and the Fire ,Departmento He is not against growth, Page '277. September 22, 1981 81- a September 22, 1981 He is against too much costs until provisions are made for the costs. They know from a survey there is a water problem in Forest Rancho Until outside water is brought in he highly recommended the Board stand with the five acre zoning until outside water is brought in. When Mra Paulson made his report the ground water was saturated and running across the street from his station, There are no provisions for larger schools. He is not against growth because he owns a station and it makes his business more valuable. His position is He does not want to see it changed because of the lack of watero The ground will have to be tested before there is development. He felt if they had a rule book they should stick with it. 10. Bill Bi~cFr„ Forest Ranch, presented a petition and a letter from Edmund E. McRae to Board memberso He is not a no growth advocate. He is for controlled growth. He does not feel the Forest Ranch area has been adequately surveyed as to the availability of the density problem, They do expect growth. He would like to see a survey completed by the county staff and to make a specific zoning in the area that would answer questions and pre-applications before the Planning Commission•-and the Board has that to be answered before hand. He would like assurances that even this particular application and othezs that have been accepted that the land can support the growth in the area. He appealed his project 2z years ago and was told he was required to obtain an impact report. It was resolved by the county departments through cooperation. The decision on his project was on the availability of water, sewage and density impact on schools and the community. He questioned who would be responsible should there be problems in the future with unuseable wells. 11, Claude T,a Willis, Butte Meadows Estates, Chico, stated he did live in Forest Ranch. He felt a hired geologist always favored the individual who hired him. He felt there was a lack of nitrates in the analysis. There are water problems in the area. There is one well that is chlorinated, The people in Forest Ranch cannot afford this type of water quality study. He felt the situation in Forest Ranch was different from Paradise Pineso There is good ipercol.a.tiia~ifor wells in the Pines. The ridge in the Forest Ranch area is only one mile wide. There are large springs in the ground on the south side. The area is tough tuskin ash. There is a lot of water in the valleys There has been an environmental check list done on the water availability. He has drilled many wells in the area, Supervisor Wheeler questioned Mra Willis regarding the contamination of wells. He has drilled many of them and he continues to witch theme Why did he continue to witch them if there was no water. She felt he was responsible for many of the wells in the area. Mr. Willis stated one mans money is as good as another, He informs people what to expect. The one concern of his fs the strata is not exactly the way it says the actual flow of the water is opposite, The law was changed in 1976 not 1971. Mr. Paulson felt some of Mr. Willis's information was incorrect. They call the work as they see it and do not slant it to favor anyone. Hearing closed to the public and confined to the Board, Supervisor Wheeler stated she felt she was caught in the middleo She knows all of the individuals listed on the petition and letters. The two groups are divided. She cannot base her decision on emotionalism and friendship. There was expert testimony and documents. If they are going to have a rule book they should stick with. it, Circumstances often justify changing that rule. They are in the process of making changes with the community. It has been discussed with the Planning staff and the Soard to have a land use committee wor?r~..on future growth in the areao The Health Page 278. September 22, 1981 September 22, 1981 gl- Department will determine when projects come through if it passes the ordinance ~', requirements. Rules are always open to changes. Before a map is final and recorded it must have proof of water and proof of septic disposalo It will ', be up the the Health Department and State Water Quality to rubber stamp it. She spoke with a well driller. One of the wells has a 47 foot tables and is producingo It is not drawing from other peoples Mr, Besser of Chico has drilled many wells in the Upper Ridge and Forest Ranch, She felt Mr. Willis was responsible for some of the water level drop. One well is at 75 feet and puts out 75 gallons a minute. Lower down there is _:. artesian material. The gallons per minute depends on where you sink the well. She is aware there are concernse She checked with the Health Department and to their knowledge there is no well that has= clorine nowo Mr. Starr stated there is water 50 feet deep in the northeastern areao He has been up there and talked to a lot of people. He wants to work with them so they can have growth that is beneficialoc~•He felt the project could support itself. There was a motion by Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Supervisor Saraceni,.af~nding that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment a negative declaration was recommended. Supervisor Saraceni stated more information came through to the Boardo It is difficult to make this type of decision, There are pros and cons on both sides. You must look at all of the information and use it to make your decision. There is no other choice but to grant thiso Chairman Moseley stated she had met with Mr. Starr. She studied the material presented to her.

The Planning Commission recommended for low density 1 to 6; medium density 7 to 13; and ', high density 14-to 20. This is in addition to the table on the existing proposal.

They manage property. Further development of rentals should be considered or we will be in troubled To reduce or lower the number of units of high density by putting parking or sa-litation construction is justified. He felt the high density could go higher if the units were of e££icentcy or studio, Oae person would live in the unite Smaller in size and would allow greater leach line area. 4o Evelyn Reeder, Thermalito, spoke regarding .: Favor of the low densitya 'She questioned what they were going to do with the compromise, She did not feel this would be affordable housingo It would be low rentals. She does not want crime right next door to her. Supervisor Saraceni stated she could rezone the area to where the density would be lower> 5. A. C. Ryan, Nelson Avenue, Thermalito, agreed with Mrs. Reedera If you put that much density you would be stacking houses like cord wood. Who is going to fix sewers when they overflow. 6. Pete Giampoali, Chico, submitted two letters from John Da Drake and himselfa They are supporting a compromise with.the Planning figureso They feel it should be a higher density from 25 to 30. Chico had compromised with 22 to 23 for septic and non septico He would be in support of higher sewer density from 7 to 230,.~~-_` Sewer requirements would preclude that, If they would say no he felt there would be a problem with density. There are areas in the Chico community that can support the density in scree. He felt 12 units would be the highest and best use. If in the General Plan a particular area does have the traffic, drainage and schools they could limit it to 1 to 12 which would not exceed the goals of the General Plane 7> Del 811is, Tehema Street, questioned if the plan was for the developer as 'they were all putting in suggestionso Are residents being considered. Most developers are in it for the moneys She questioned why they were getting such high density. She felt people came to the area because., they are told there are jobs available. She was concerned about density and- leach lines. She felt they should get industry yinto the area, Mr. Colby stated sewers are available but not in~Thermalito. When Score was formed they got the best for the highest .density. People can handle density by zoning. Costs are passed onto the home owners. Many individuals wish to own homes but cannot afford to build because of high financing, He felt it was the old gang plank rule, I have mine so do not allow any more in.
