Kerry Sullivan, Senior :Tanner <br /> SUBJECT: Buckeye Ranch/Brovelli Woods <br /> Dear I°Is. Sullivan: <br /> For quite some time I have been greatly interested in the status of the <br /> 870 acre parcel of land known as Brovelli floods/Tracy Lakes area which is also <br /> known as Buckeye R-Lnch. 0n January 10, 1993 I was privileged to have had the <br /> opportunity to walk through that parcel with a group of some 12 friends guided <br /> by a lir. Dave Fisher who is with the development firm of Robertson Homes, Stock- <br /> ton, California. <br /> That tour of the property far exceeded the mental picture that I had perceived <br /> of it -- mere words are grossl;.- inadequate to describe the peace, quiet, pristine <br /> and tranquil beauty of that parcel. Visible during our tour were a great flock <br /> of redwing blackbirds, numerous sandhill cranes, ducks, geese, many species of <br /> wild birds, three d ger, grazing cattle, etc.., etc., etc. Fisher voluntarily <br /> stated there were many other species of wildlike that inhabit that area but which <br /> were not observed during our tour. <br /> -:any hu.dred -:ears ago that whole area was inhabited b„- tribes of ?nc=ens <br /> D146 <br /> and many of them have been buried in that area. Now a orivate commercial devel- <br /> ,� over (Robertson Fomes) is nlanning to subdivide that og.rcel into 26 home sites <br /> ran;-ing in size from 0.9 acre to 2.9 acres. Zlready and according to 1�1r. Fisher <br /> some b0C valley oak trees have been felled in anti cioation of installing a private <br /> golf course fort he benefit of those 26 residents and their guests. Also, an <br /> equestrian trail is nla.ned for the orivate use of those 26 home sites. s. <br /> Fisher stated that only those 26 parcels will be allowed. However, history and <br /> experience have shown that other and larcer subdivisions may come along in a <br /> r short period of time. <br /> It would ire a great injustice to the citizens of this County and California <br /> if this grandiose oro.=lect is nex^:itted to proceed. The initial clan of 26 oar- <br /> cels by itself is grown: inducing. If oermitted, 'that entire parce1• (870 acres) <br /> would be forever lost to future generations. The archaeological and biological <br /> aspects of the area by themselves should be preserved not only for this generation <br /> but for all generations to come. <br /> S-ncere__ , <br /> .a_ter = . --n1ss <br /> None: :69-21F5 <br /> VI-119 <br />
