the Vistec property, He said he represents construction and he feels that
this is a good project and will give a lot of work to people in the area.
5a Mrs, Ernest Albrecht, Yankee Hill

in next to his home,

developments should be east of the red zoning line.
6, Mr. John Roole, City Hall, Chico. He explained the reasons

later in the meeting. Chairman Reynolds said he would like to see where the
R-3 zones were in the Chico area. He would like to review the matter,
This rezoning would be a major decision by the Board. Chairman Reynolds
explained his feelings in this matter. He said he would like to have the
Planning Director recolor some of the maps to set out the deletions within
this rezoning proposal. Supervisor Maxon said the problem of the Vistec
development, and the Schultz's property should be considered. Supervisor
McKillop said that if the Board was going to send the rezoning back to the
Planning Department for the deletions to be set out, then maybe the Board
should consider leaving the people out of the rezoning who had appeared
at the Planning hearings and requested to be excluded. Supervisor Gilman
said he questions whether the County can come up with a plan to zone this
whole area,
Chairman Reynolds said that a great deal of deliberation was going
to have to be given to this rezoning before the Board made their decision.
Chairman Reynolds requested that Mr. Lawson could indicate on the maps
whether the land was planted, in orchards or not.

71-2184 DISCUSSION: VISTEC DEVELOPMENT & SHULTZ APARTMENTS - HOWARD TOUSSAINT
Howard Toussaint, Director of Sanitation, appeared before the Board
to d_Cscuss the proposals of Vistec Developments and of Dr. Shultz for sewage
disposal discharge requirements for their planned building developments,
Both parties have applied to, the Regional Water Quality Control Board--Vistec
proposing an aeration unit and Shultz proposing a large septic tank system.
Mr. Toussaint stated that Vistec meets all of the requirements except
for the formation of a county service area to act as the public agency to handle
the sewer system. Recalling previous Board policy, Mr. Blackstock stated
that the Board requirement for a community sewer system expressly precludes
septic tanks as a means of disposing of sewage. Consequently, the system
as proposed by Dr. Shultz does not meet Board requirements.
Mr. Blackstock explained the method of forming a county service area
to representatives of Vistec Developments,
Dr. Shultz spoka to the Board regarding the community sewer system
and means by which he could meet requirements for said system.
