The Audubon Society of New York State, Inc. <br /> 'Q Hollyhock Hollow Sanctuary, Route 2, Box 131 • Selkirk, NY 12158 • 518-767-9051 <br /> NEW YORK <br /> AUDUBON January 11, 1993 <br /> SOCIETY <br /> Mr. Kerry Sullivan, Senior Planner <br /> San Joaquin County D > � <br /> Community Development Department <br /> 1810 E. Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205-6232 JAN 15 J993 <br /> Dear Mr. Sullivan: COMMUNrII' DEVtLUt-mlr_NT DEPT. <br /> PLANNING DIVISION <br /> Thank you for sending the latest materials concerning the proposed Buckeye Ranch <br /> Project, SCH No. 91012103. We appreciate the opportunity to review such documents. <br /> I am enclosing some information concerning our Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary <br /> Program for your information. It was because of this program that the owners of the <br /> Buckeye Ranch property first contacted us. We have visited the proposed development site <br /> and have transmitted to the landowner our thoughts concerning the project. An integral <br /> part of our program for proposed facilities is the required adoption by the landowner of our <br /> "Audubon Sustainable Resources Management Principles" as a guidance document for the <br /> planned development. Since our initial visit, we have not heard from the landowners in <br /> regard to their adoption of our principles nor in regard to continuing any relationship with D1 <br /> New York Audubon. <br /> Our opinion is that the proposed project could be designed in such as manner so as <br /> to preserve a unique and biologically important habitat area. However, you should know <br /> that since we have not heard from the landowner nor their consultants since our initial site <br /> visit,we assume they are not interested in pursuing"Audubon Signature Status,"nor are they <br /> interested in being members of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program. <br /> Consequently, we would like to make it very clear that we are no longer advising them, nor <br /> are we privy to the present planning relative to the proposed project. <br /> Thank you again for the information. If we can be of any further assistance, please <br /> feel free to contact us. <br /> S' erely yours, <br /> Ronald G. Dodson <br /> President <br /> VI-31 <br />
