Please exercise judgment before opening attachments, clicking on links, or replying.. We are definitely not in favor of this project. It will ruin the quality of life we moved to this area for in the first place. First, an updated EIR must be done for this project. The traffic alone it will create on Hicks and Garner would be a nightmare. We don’t need more housing in North Chico, the south end of Chico would be more suitable for any expansion. This area the way it is with the orchards acts as a recharge zone for the Tuscan Aquifer, to replenish our groundwater. The paved roads would create runoff into storm drains not allowing any recharge to our precious, much needed groundwater. This area is also prone to flooding and any alterations to the hydrology by adding 2,600 homes would be catastrophic. We enjoy the rural, peaceful lifestyle of North Chico. This project would utterly ruin this. Please join me and many of our long time residents in not going forward with this project.

Shaina Paulsen Administrative Assistant, Senior Butte County Administration 25 County Center Drive, Suite 200 Oroville, CA 95965 T: 530.552.3304 | F: 530.538.7120 From: Stacey Dulbecco <staceydulbecco@sbcglobal.net> Sent: Monday, May 24, 2021 11:48 AM To: Clerk of the Board <clerkoftheboard@buttecounty.net> Subject: North Chico Plan/ Garner Lane Impact ATTENTION: This message originated from outside Butte County. Please exercise judgment before opening .. attachments, clicking on links, or replying. I'd love to support this plan but I have some concerns about traffic on Garner Lane. The traffic on Garner Lane is intense. The speed limit on Garner is 45- which totally makes sense if it was still a rural country road, but it is most definitely not that anymore. Cars routinely drive 55 and above- using Garner as a shortcut of sorts. Semi trucks are seen and heard multiple times every day. The speed of the vehicles and the rough surface of the road make the noise level very apparent. I believe that the speed limit of this highly residential road should be reduced to 35 or even 25 mph. In readinng the plan, I see a proposed extension to Kity Hawk, and of course the expansion of Hicks Lane- I'm hoping that these two things AND a reduction in speed on Garner will help Garner in a positive way. Can you help me understand the impact of the North Chico Plan on Garner? Thank you for your time. Stacey Dulbecco @sbcglobal.net
