Airola Action Alert Results!

On Tuesday December 4, the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a general plan amendment, a rezone, and a Williamson Act Contract for the Airola family’s 3,171-acre cattle ranch adjacent to Copperopolis.  The Board did NOT add a road easement as a condition of approval.  Supervisor Mills agreed that there is a need to look at evacuation routes and evacuation plans, perhaps in the context of the general plan update.  Nevertheless, he would not place that evacuation route burden on one land owner.  John Buckley from CSERC, Colleen Platt from MyValleySprings.com. and Antonie Wurster from the Calaveras County Taxpayers Association each spoke to the Board of Supervisors in support of the application.  Thank you to all who responded to our action alert and contacted the Board to support the Airola family’s application.
