I’m a property owner over here off of Hicks Lane and caballo way. We have a hearing with you in regards to this grading permit proposed for a Tow yard across the street from our neighborhood that we are opposed to, and want to put a stop to it. I want to start off with I am very surprised. This is gone this far and was ever considered in such an active and sensitive environment. There are numerous other sites within Butte County that are plenty suitable for a business as such. This area specifically right where he’s proposed to develop floods annually and him putting this in is going to divert and there is plans that are covering up two existing swales, therefore exacerbating the water movement downstream towards all of us, flooding our properties furthermore. Since we are just downstream From the wetlands and seasonal swales, All of us neighbors are on Wells and we’re highly concerned for contamination issues during the flooding and rain in this area that is A very active area hydrologically when it rains. The City Of Chico already had a issue with a tow wrecking yard over by the Sierra Nevada brewery and it was cleaned up and relocated (due to contamination something I see is a huge concern let alone in area, so active with water and sensitive environment and ecosystems). We see tons of wildlife over there cranes, bald eagles, hawks, frogs, lizards, coyotes, Barn owls, bats, you name it. And that’s just the stuff we see now I can only imagine all those sensitive vernal pools and wetlands with all the fairy shrimp and microscopic organisms, and of course, all vegetation and flowers and metafoam. I’m really hoping this can be the end of it and we can protect this wetland just like the lot behind it that is federally protected I truly hope you can understand from our point of view and put yourself in our shoes that this is a huge negative impact for our neighborhood and all of our families and children that live in this neighborhood Thank you and I look forward to speaking to all of you at the hearing Ryan Dubyak Here are some attached photos and videos.
