Microsoft Outlook From: Dan Roberts <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 12, 2015 9:09 PM To: DSPlanning Subject: California County Planning Commissioner's Assn. Attachments: 2015_conf_flyer.pdf Director/Contact: As 2015 President I wish to reach out and personally thank Butte County for its support in the form of annual dues payment, so that each of your Planning Commissioners may continue in the role of members in good standing with the California County Planning Commissioners' Association! In the furtherance of our mission, "Knowledge through Education," we will be coming together for our 85th Annual Conference and General Membership Meeting on October 23‐24, 2015. This conference will be held at June Lake, in the Eastern Sierra, just east of Yosemite National Park and north of Mammoth Lakes. More information may be obtained at http://planningcommission.org , and event registration is now open at http://ccpca2015.eventzilla.net . We hope that some of your Commissioners and/or Staff will be interested in attending this informative and enriching experience. To that end we are asking that you please assist us by helping to extend our invitation to each of them. I have attached a PDF flyer which may be used for that purpose. It has been customary for Counties to cover the expenses for their Commissioners to attend our conferences through budgeted training funds. We know that in the recent economic climate these funds have been lacking in many counties' budgets. The CCPCA board will therefore consider granting some partial funding through scholarships to certain Commissioners who have a desire to attend the conference and also wish to become active in our organization. If this scenario applies to any of your Commissioners please direct them to apply by contacting me or any one of the other CCPCA Board Members. Our email addresses are available on the website. We're looking forward to a wonderful weekend in late October, and hope to see you there? Best Regards, Dan Roberts Mono County Planning Commissioner 2015 CCPCA President 1 85th Annual General Conference “Planning for People and Environment on California's Eastside” Friday and Saturday, October 23-24, 2015 June Lake, California The majestic Sierra Nevada mountain range creates a formidable divide between east and west. This year we invite you to join us on the Other Side: California's Eastside. Commissioners, Don't miss out on this educational and networking opportunity of the decade! Friday morning we'll be convening the 85th annual general conference of the CCPCA in the beautiful high-sierra community of June Lake, Mono County, just a few miles to the east of Yosemite National Park on the rim of the Mono Lake Basin. In this retreat setting, a variety of entertaining and informative speakers will present some of the latest practices, problems and solutions, and innovations for modern planning. An early evening chairlift ride will then take us up the mountainside for a reception with a great view, at the June Mountain Ski Chalet. On Saturday, we'll embark on a field trip to experience an award-winning Main Street upgrade project in the historic county seat of Bridgeport, followed by an interpretive presentation at Mono Lake, a brief bus tour of the world-famous ski resort town of Mammoth Lakes, and finally we will visit the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory on Convict Creek, operated as an extension of the University of California at Santa Barbara. Saturday evening, the event will conclude with a gala banquet featuring our keynote speaker George Runner, former State Senator and current Vice-Chair of the Board of Equalization. Register Now! Visit: planningcommission.org for more information and online registration The conference is also open to City Planning Commissioners, Planning Staff, and other persons involved in the planning process. You are encouraged to bring your spouse or guest with you as well..

  • June Mountain Ski Area Vegetation Management
    JUNE MOUNTAIN SKI AREA VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PLAN Inyo National Forest Mono Lake Ranger District OVERVIEW Background Located on the Mono Lake District, June Mountain Ski Area (JMSA) is one of two alpine ski resorts operated under special use permit on the Inyo National Forest. The ski area is currently undergoing a severe mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) outbreak which has affected whitebark and lodgepole pine stands on over 150 acres within the ski area boundary. Additional acres are currently infested outside ski area boundaries, both outside and within designated wilderness areas. It is expected the outbreak will continue and intensify based upon the number of new infestations detected this past summer. Forest activities are guided by the Inyo National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan). The Sierra Nevada Forest Plan Amendment (SNFPA), Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, Record of Decision, which amended the Forest Plan on January 21, 2004, sets goals and objectives for management activities which will restore natural ecosystem processes while minimizing threats to life, property, and natural resources. Regional Forester direction clarifying recreation management issues related to the SNFPA were issued in a letter dated June 24, 2002. Issues were related to Regional Soil Quality Standards, Incidental Removal of Vegetation and Down Woody Material, and Limited Operating Periods for Pine Marten within developed recreation sites and impacts to recreation-related activities. The first two issues were resolved with clarification; the third issue was resolved with errata to the Plan Amendment. Purpose and Need The purpose of this project is to develop both short and long-term vegetation management strategies for all areas within the boundaries of JMSA.

  • June Lake Area Plan
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I. SETTING Nestled in the Eastern High Sierra, the June Lake Loop’s combination of scenic beauty, rural lifestyle and recreational June Lake’s tourist opportunities provide an ideal setting for both summer and economy is directly winter vacationers. The Loop’s four alpine lakes and two roadside tied to its numerous streams provide water-based recreational activities during the recreational and summer. In winter the June Mountain Ski Area sustains the scenic resources. economy. Fishing, hiking, camping, sightseeing, horseback riding, bicycling, downhill and cross country skiing, snowmobiling and numerous other activities are enjoyed in the Loop. June Lake is located in Mono County, California, approximately 300 miles northeast of Los Angeles, 145 miles south of Reno, Nevada, and 15 miles north of Mammoth Lakes (see Figure 1). Recreational visitation is expected to increase as the state’s population, particularly the metropolitan Los Angeles area, continues to grow and as the nearby town of Mammoth Lakes evolves into a destination resort. Recreation has always played an important role in June Lake’s development and will continue to do so in the future. The area’s quaint small-town atmosphere (resident population of 690) and pristine natural setting are its primary attractions. Retaining the existing atmosphere while enhancing the Loop’s appeal as a vacation resort will be the primary challenge over the next 20 years. The goals, objectives and policies in the updated Area Plan reflect this underlying concern. II. JUNE LAKE 2010 The June Lake 2010: June Lake Area Plan has been drafted to serve as a comprehensive, integrated and internally consistent The Area Plan is guide for policy decisions and development in June Lake.
