Today I got a post card from the Calaveras County Planning Director. It states that the county is updating its General Plan and that the play MAY affect the land use designations of property you [we] own. You can review the plan at a website: http://planning.calaverasgovus/generalplanupdate.aspx So I went and looked at the plan. Now I didn’t spend hours reading it, so I may have interpreted it incorrectly. But if you look at the maps Dorrington appears to be identified as “Residential Low Density,” which allows 1-6 dwellings units/acre. Ok. But when you click on the link for “Draft General Plan Land Use Map Definitions 2014” and look for “Residential Low Density” it appears that housing with public water and a septic system would be limited to 1 du/1 acre, or 1 dwelling unit / 1 acre. Help me here. Did I read this correctly? Would this mean that any lot that is not yet built on, would have to be a minimum of one acre to have public water and a septic? Which essentially would stop all new homes from being built in Dorrington as few lots are one acre or larger. If I interpreted this correctly this could be a problem.

I just posted another update to my training story for the America’s Most Beautiful Bike Ride. Last week, my “long ride” was 30 miles. It was difficult, at times it felt even brutal…
Yesterday (Pi Day) I was led by my good friend and semi-pro cyclist Patty Jo, on an Epic (by my current standards) 50 mile ride with 3800 ft elevation gain / loss that took me over 5 hours to complete. Look under Bike Stuff for the ride info.
I can’t thank Patty Jo enough for being so tolerant, encouraging, and such good company on this long ride (no quotes).
I’m starting to feel like I could be ready for the Mr Frog’s Wild Ride 100K in April and the America’s Most Beautiful Bike Ride in June. Woot!

On my protest form the reason I list is that it is an illegal tax, since taxpayers were never given the opportunity to vote for or against it(which is required when other fire departments want to do the same thing).
I favor supporting the fire protection service that covers the area. I do so by paying my regular property tax bill regularly and paying the special property tax assesment for the Ebbets Pass Fire District.
The problem? The government is taxing us multiple times for the same thing.
I appreciate sending in the complaint form, and plan on doing so. But what redetermination reason do you use?
Claims that do not qualify for redetermination include, but are not limited to:
Disputes regarding the legality of the fee
The property is in close proximity to a local fire station or fire hydrant Financial hardship
The property is in a developed neighborhood or is regularly maintained.i received mine today. sent in the payment and also all 3 protest letters. i don’t agree with the feel. take it out of my taxes.

Just received my Fire Prevention Fee billing of $117.33 for this year. Considering the soaring costs of fighting thousands of larger and larger fires around California, this seems like a small contribution when in-fact I do willingly choose to live in the forest. I’m also not going to complain about my $590 driveway snow plow “tax”, even though my driveway has been plowed only twice so far this season.
