Many homes in Stirling City are on lots too small for onsite wastewater.
The shared septic system is essential for the continued habitation of
these residences and the survival of the town. Residents recognized this
by voting in favor of year-after-year service fee increases to keep the
system operating. Since that was what the state demanded in exchange for
one-time funds to replace failing infrastructure, a commitment the state
now prefers to evade. While this loan forbearance provides necessary
short-term relief, the county should press for a long-term solution to
keep this tight-knit historic community viable.

Proposed Tuscan Ridge Development
Comments submitted to the Butte County Supervisors by Allen Harthorn, resident of Butte Creek

Public Notice
Although the County has utilized the required noticing of neighbors as to the progress of this plan, it
appears that there is a serious lack of “early and frequent communication with affected citizens and
stakeholders”. The entire communities of Paradise, Magalia and the rest of the communities above this
project have not been involved in this planning process. The fact that there was no Public Comments
submitted prior to the Planning Commission meeting is a clear indication that the County and the
Sponsors of the project have failed to communicate the issues with affected citizens and stakeholders.
From the Land Use Element of the General Plan:
Scenic Highway
The Skyway is a Scenic Highway as designated by the General Plan. Much of this project is in the 350
foot zone of the SH designation. It would seem that building a mini city next to the Scenic Highway is
inconsistent with the General Plan. The topography of the land is such that any attempted to hide this
project would be futile.
Water
The current well on the site is not considered to be adequate for the project as there is no backup
system. The suggestion that Paradise Irrigation District may bring a pipeline of potable water many miles
