Commission fails
to approve Palo
Cedro cell tower
By Sharyn
Cornelius
The Shasta County
Planning Commission
on May 14, 2015, with
only three of its five
commissioners present, failed to pass a
motion to approve an
80-foot tall monopine
cell tower near the intersection of Boyle
and Deschutes Roads,
but the applicant, Michelle Ellis of Complete Wireless, said
she would immediately
refile the application
to get on the Commission’s
June 11 agenda.
Senior Planner Kent Hector told the Commission that
the 80-foot tower proposed
for a 2.7 acre parcel owned
by John Stanberry at 10422
Deschutes Road, would be
surrounded by native oak
trees, one of which was 68
feet tall, so only 12 feet of
the tower would show above
it. He said that photo simulations showed the tower designed to look like a pine tree
would not be visible from
Deschutes Road, but would
be visible from Boyle. He
said the cell tower would fill
a coverage gap in the area
and the Planning Division
Volume XVI, Number 10
May 21, 2015
530-549-3340
recommended approval.
During the public hearing on the cell tower four
neighbors spoke out against
the project and two others
had written letters of opposition that were in the Commissioner’s packets. Three
of the residents, Tom Zaharris and Patrick Mahoney
who live on Fire Mountain
View Road and Joel Turner,
all urged the Commission
to deny the use permit application because the fake
tree would ruin their view
of Mount Lassen, which was
one of the main reasons they
had bought property where
they did. “The view of Mt.
Lassen is spiritual to me,”
Mahoney said. “It’s critical
to our lifestyle, what we live
here for, and this will take it
away from us. Put the tower
somewhere it won’t affect
anyone’s view.”
Sherry Melton, whose
property adjoins Stanberry’s
said one of her primary concerns was possible damage
to her property and livestock
if the tower was struck by
lightning. She said she had
read about towers conducting lightning into the ground
with such force that appliances in neighboring residences were damaged. She
was also concerned about the
noise from the 30 KW standSee Cell tower page 9

Drive-thru car wash
proposed for Palo Cedro
By Sharyn Cornelius
The owners of the Chevron Station in Palo Cedro,
Kumar & Sons, Inc. of
Redding, have requested
an amendment to their use
permit to construct an automated, drive-through car
wash on their one-acre parcel in the northeast quadrant of the State Route 44/
Deschutes Road intersection. The site currently
contains a mini-mart and a
gas station. The proposed
1,163-square-foot car wash
building would be situated
to the east of the mini-mart
and buffered from the residential area to the north and
east by a six-foot high concrete block wall at the property line. There are three
developed residential properties adjacent to the project site and one additional
residence within 300-feet.
The nearest residence is approximately 60-feet from
the carwash entrance and
driveway.
The
carwash
will use a water
recycling
system
that clarifies up to
90 percent of the
waste water from a
wash cycle for use
in the next wash
cycle. Water for
the carwash will be
provided by Bella
Vista Water District
and wastewater disposal will be handled by County Service Area #8 (Palo
Cedro Sewer).
The
applicant
proposes to operate
the carwash during
the hours of operation for the existing gas station and
mini-mart
(5:30
a.m. to 11:00 p.m.),
and the Initial Study for
the project prepared by the
Shasta County Planning Division concludes the most
significant impacts of the
project would be noise and
lighting.
Associate Planner Lio
Salazar writes: “The noise

Jones Valley CAB discusses by-laws revision
By Sharyn Cornelius
The Community Advisory
Board for County Service
Area #6—Jones Valley Water discussed president Bert
Stead’s suggestion for revising their by-laws to authorize
a five-member board rather
than the current seven member one. Stead said he believed the change would make
it easier to have a quorum and
he didn’t intend to remove
any of the current seven members, just not replace them if
they dropped off the Board.
Board member Larry
Olkowski, who was recently
re-elected to the CAB after a
hiatus of several years, said
he remembered some quorum
problems when the Board had
only five elected members
and the quorum was still four,
but he would like to see the
CAB remain at seven with all
active members. Peter Scales
agreed. “The more people involved the better.”
The CAB voted to table
the vote on the proposed bylaws change to the June meeting to give everyone more
time to think it over.
In order to increase public
awareness of and participation at their monthly meetings, the CAB would like the
Department of Public Works
to publicize those meetings on
water customer’s bi-monthly
bills, but they have not gotten
any response to their requests.
Peter Scales said he could
put up signs to advertise the
meetings if they wanted him
to.
CAB member Roy Vincent said he had not yet followed through on his intention to set up a meeting with
Department of Public Works
accountant Ken Cristobal to
go over next year’s budget
for the CSA. The CAB appointed a committee of Vincent, Stead and Marti Palmer
to meet with Cristobal before
the next CAB meeting in
June.
Steve Boyd said he had
met with people from the
Water Resources Control
Board and learned they have
an outreach team that could
conduct a workshop for the
CAB at their June meeting if
they requested it. The Board
passed a resolution requesting that Boyd set up such a
meeting.

Shingletown Council meeting
draws much community interest
By Marilee Strom
On May 6, 2015
approximately 100 resident
community
members
attended the Shingletown
Council meeting held at the
Black Butte Jr. High Gym.
The meeting began with the
introduction of CHP Officer
Troy Gordon, who received
a round of applause as thanks
for the CHP’s increased
patrols and visibility in
Shingletown.
Deputy
Sheriff Greg Ketel was
introduced as Shingletown’s
designated deputy.
The
meeting continued with
the announcement of two
programs:
Defensible
Space Trimmings Disposal
Program and Dump Fee
Waiver Program.
These
programs were developed
by the Board of Directors
and Committees and were
subsequently
approved
by the County with the
assistance of Supervisor
Les Baugh and Pat Minturn,
Director of Public Works.
Tom Twist of the
Shingletown Council Fire
Suppression
Committee
outlined the Defensible
Space Trimmings Disposal
Program. This is a free
program for all Shingletown
residents to bring slash
pile debris such as brush,
tree limbs, rakings to the
Shingletown
Transfer
Station burn area. The kickoff for this event will be June
2nd and June 6th from 9:00
am to 3:00 pm. All residents
are to follow the signs at the
Transfer Station and all loads
will be inspected.
Robert Richardson of
the Health and Safety and
Other Concerns Committee
then presented the second
program approved, the
Dump Fee Waiver Program.
This program allows the
Shingletown Council to
clean-up illegal dump sites
and deposit the waste at
the Transfer Station using
a coupon furnished by the
County. There are many
May 21, 2015—PAGE 3
LOCAL NEWS

levels that must be met
before a coupon is issued.
Supervisor Baugh then
talked about the necessity
to
further
strengthen
code enforcement by way
of
available
resources
for a cleaner and better
community. He explained
the code enforcement process
in that code violations are
identified to the County,
which then inspects of the
site of violation, and issues
a follow-up notice stating
the need for the offender
to come into compliance.
Lack of cooperation sends
the violation(s) to an
Administration Law judge
for further processing. The
County may clean-up the
site and owners will be
charged for cost of any
action on infractions. Baugh
mentioned that it is very
helpful to have multiple
complaints filed on sites
needing attention from the
County.
Supervisor
Baugh
announced that the County
has approved a roadside
directional sign to the
Shingletown Medical Center
that would be funded by the
County. He also announced
the dedication of a local road
section to honor late CHP
officer Jack Polen for his
many years of dedication to
Shingletown.
Captain Anthony Bertain
from the Shasta County
Sheriff’s Office gave a
presentation on the future
for Shingletown pertaining
to law enforcement. He
commented that Sheriff
Bosenko
is
dedicated
to
upgrading
staffing.
Additional
officers
are
approximately six to eight
weeks away from hitting the
streets, at the conclusion of
training at Police Academy.
He mentioned that getting
a resident deputy in
Shingletown is a difficult
task as they must find a
deputy who is willing to
relocate to Shingletown.
He also mentioned that
probation,
parole,
and
marijuana
indoor/outdoor
grows regulations are strictly
adhered to in efforts to be a
part of the solution, not the
problem. He mentioned if
you have a problem relating
to Animal Control, you
should call 245-6540.
Tracie
Neal,
Chief
Probation Officer identified
how various stages of
probation and realignment
issues are being addressed
and conducted.
She
explained
about
how
high
profile
parolees
and those under current
investigation are being
very carefully watched,
also how new probations
through realignment are
being handled. She shared
information about those who
are eligible for prison but
staying local for supervision.
The Probation Department
works diligently with all
offices of law enforcement to
assure County enforcement
and safety.
Dawna Twist of the
Community Activities and
Positive Public Relations
gave a brief announcement
about packets that would
be emailed to all contacts
who
schedule
events
in
Shingletown
which
outlines the new process
for scheduling events and
gives helpful information.
Due to the lack of funds
available for copying and
mailing these packets, it was
necessary to email them.
The meeting concluded
with added information for
membership on the Council
in that it is free and that if
you should have a problem,
you can submit a Concern/
Problem form and the
Shingletown Council will
attempt to find solutions. Due
to graduation at Black Butte
Jr. High, there will be no
meeting in June. Watch for
notices in the Shingletown
Council display box at
the Shingletown Store for
updates and the happenings
