What happens when county supervisors don't listen to public cries opposing a horrible project? Citizens have to live with the daily visual reminder of a once-wonderful ridgetop which consisted of old oak woodlands but is now clearcut and bulldozed for pads. The irony here is that the now bankrupt developers rushed to destroy that ridgetop even before any of their own blueprints were finalized. They went for the jugular when they didn’t have to. Imagine the sediment that has run down those slopes for now 4-5 years, polluting our watersheds. They’ve had problems with the city of Lincoln as well (remember all those sewer pipes along Hw 193).

Unless the county lets them off the hook for the $350,000 owed, or bails them out, this project should lose all its entitlements and have the zoning revert back to what it was before the in-dev-pocket supervisors gave away the farm.

Rocklin: Take note. The exact same thing can happen with Clover Valley—they’ll destroy it with the same clearcutting and bulldozing (over half the Clover Valley’s 622 acres is slated for the dozer runs)—see photo. Don’t let this destruction take place in Clover Valley. Both lands should be bought (“salvage sale” in terms of Bickford) and turned into ecological and cultural preserves. It’s the right thing to do….
