Many readers also able to ID Dominic Niderost 25 years ago Thursday, Aug. 27, 1981 Ukiah Daily Journal AACAMA FAULT SPELLS WOE FOR WILLITS’ FUTURE. ...A state geologist’s findings of an earthquake fault running smack through the middle of downtown Willits now threaten to restrict or prohibit much of the city’s planned residential and Mcommercial building. The city plans to dispute the findings on the Maacama fault, but has only until September 30 to do so. Unless significant new geological information is unearthed, a state law requires that after Jan. 1, 1982, prospective developers within the special seismic study zone must pay for costly trenching to determine precise faultlines, if they wish to build. If a fault trace is discovered, no development over four units will be allowed within 50 feet of the crack. The city must hire a geologist to check the private reports, and realtors must warn all potential buyers within the zone about the geologic hazard. Willits is already restricted from developing to the northeast because of a flood plain. The flood plain is currently being remapped by the federal government, which may further restrict building there. Willits residents feel the seismic regulations on top of it all may bring growth to a screeching halt. “Between this and the new flood plain map, there may be no land use issues to decide,” Councilmember Charles Schrage said at the Wednesday council meeting. “It’s all happening at the same time, so people feel they’re really being put upon,” said City Engineer Jim Knutson. On the other hand, the state mandate includes exemptions for wood-frame projects of less than four units, for condominium conversions and for alterations or additions costing less than 50 percent of the existing structure’s value. Noting that most of the study zone is already built out, Realtor Sam Rubottom with California Realty said the Maacama seismic determination may be good for Willits. “We’ve all suspected there’s something here, with our cracked buildings and sidewalks,” he said, “and I’d rather know about it than not. It seems to have come like a bomb to some people, but it shouldn’t have.
