Oh, the County of Humboldt is what we’ll explore,
For a Minor Subdivision and Coastal Development more.
We’ll assess the parcel, twixt Quaker and 18th Streets,
For a single family home and a garage that it meets.

We’ve got community water and sewer for sure,
And the local coastal plan is what we must secure.
We’ll retrofit the driveways to urban standards, too,
And no environmental impact is what we’ll pursue.

We’ll check the tribes, the archaeological too,
To make sure all’s in order for all me and you.
We’ll make all the findings and pass the resolution,
For a Minor Subdivision and Coastal Development.

It was a cold, winter morning in the County of Humboldt as the Planning Commission convened for the meeting. On the agenda was the proposal for Punta Canna, LLC to receive a Conditional Use Permit and Special Permit for 19,500 square feet of existing outdoor cultivation utilizing light deprivation techniques and 2,000 square feet of ancillary propagation.

The proposal had been thoroughly reviewed by the Planning and Building Department, and the staff was in support of the permit being granted. After much discussion and debate, the Planning Commission ultimately voted in favor of the proposal.

This decision would have a profound impact on the Alderpoint area, as it would bring much needed economic stimulus to the community. The cultivation and processing facility would generate jobs, and the business would also help to strengthen the local economy.

The Conditional Use Permit and Special Permit were granted with several conditions to ensure that the project was conducted in an environmentally safe and responsible manner. The applicant was required to adhere to a number of requirements such as maintaining a secure facility, adhering to the California Building Code for all structures, and consulting with the local tribes.

Now that the permits had been granted, Punta Canna, LLC could begin to move forward with their project. They were eager to get started, and the entire community was looking forward to seeing the positive effects that this project would bring.

In Humboldt’s county, greenery and meads,
A farmer sees his chance to fulfill his dreams.
A plan is made, with hopes it will succeed,
A CUP and Special Permit, both are the themes.

For timberland production and a spring diversion,
A water storage of sixty-two thousand gallons,
A dry barn and a generator, this new conversion,
Will bring a bright and prosperous new morning.

With tribal consultation and no major concerns,
No coastal commission appeals will be heard.
For safety and security, gates will be locked,
With four people onsite during peak production.

For the Board of Supervisors resolution eighteen-forty-three,
This project will fit in perfectly.
228 permits, and 79.82 acres of cultivation,
Will help the county’s economy and population.

This plan will bring much joy and success,
A dream of growth and happiness.
If all goes as planned, this project will bless,
The County of Humboldt and its citizens.

The sun shone brightly over the town of Arcata, California, as Detective John Foster drove down Foster Avenue towards the 2500-2600 block. As he drove, he was unaware of the strange events soon to unfold.

He had been called to investigate a possible crime in connection with a proposed construction and operation project by Renewable America, LLC. The project, referred to as Foster Clean Power A (Phase 1) & Foster Clean Power B (Phase 2), would involve the construction of a 3-megawatt alternating current (MWac), photovoltaic (PV) solar energy facility with associated inverters, fencing, and access road.

As he arrived at the project site, he noticed that the area was strangely quiet. He parked his car and stepped out, his senses on high alert. He noticed a faint smell of something burning, as if something had recently been set on fire. He also noticed a strange humming sound coming from the nearby river.

He cautiously approached the construction site, expecting to find something unusual. As he got closer, he saw that the solar panel arrays had been damaged and that the access road had been blocked off with a large metal gate. He also noticed that the equipment pad had been tampered with and that the perimeter fence had been cut open.

Foster quickly realized that this was no ordinary crime scene. He began to investigate, gathering evidence and questioning anyone who might have seen or heard something suspicious. He soon discovered that the damage to the solar panel arrays had been caused by a group of local eco-terrorists who were opposed to the project.

Foster’s investigation led him to a local anti-technology group, who had been involved in the attack. He learned that the group had been hired by a mysterious figure known only as “The Benefactor”. It soon became clear that the Benefactor was behind the attack, and was determined to stop the construction of the solar energy facility.

With the help of his team, Foster was able to track down the Benefactor. It turned out that the Benefactor was a wealthy businessman with a hidden agenda. He wanted to stop the construction of the solar energy facility because he feared it would threaten his own business interests.

The Benefactor was arrested and charged with numerous counts of vandalism and eco-terrorism. Foster was commended for his work, and his reputation as a first-rate detective was secured.

The citizens of Arcata were relieved to
