Thank you
Chair Crandell, Vice Chair Rasmussen and Supervisors,
I support continuing Agenda Item 6.6 scheduled for your board’s consideration on 25 March 2025. The appeal hearing for Nina Star Farms (AB 24-05, MU 20-14, IS 20-16) affects District 1, and District 1 Supervisor Helen Owen is not able to attend the 25 March Board of Supervisors meeting.
Your courtesy to continue this agenda item until Supervisor Owen’s return would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.

I support rescheduling hearing the details of the appeal until a date when Supervisor Owen can be in attendance. She represents the people that would be affected by this project, I oppose the appeal and ask the BOS to honor and uphold the decision of the Planning Commission's decision and deny the Use Permit for Nina Star Farms. The project is in the most extreme and hazardous category for wildland fire risk. There are errors in the biological assessment as it noted a Black-billed Magpie was observed. The species is absent in California west of the Cascades and Sierra Nevada ranges.
In light of the fact that Supervisor Owen will not be present at the meeting on 3/25/25, I support holding off hearing the details of the appeal until a later date when she can be present. I oppose the appeal and ask the BOS to uphold the decision of the Planning Commission and deny the Use Permit for Nina Star Farms.
