Kovatch reminded the board that developers of the Sea Ranch were authorized to prepare a general plan but took in areas outside the subdivision. Chairman Henry Spomer suggested the request be sent to the county's Inter-departmental Coordinating Committee for suggestions on how much area should be included. The suggestion was tabled and Transcentury was authorized to proceed with the general plan when Belden said his client was under time limitations.

"Our tentative maps expire Nov. 9. We don't have much time and more interests would make it difficult. If we include someone else's property then they should pay for the consultants too," he added.

The decision confirmed the Judgment at the experts who considered Fischer was in a difficult position when the game was adjourned after 40 moves Tuesday night. The victory gave Spassky a 1-0 lead in the 24-game match and an important psychological advantage. Fischer never has beaten Spassky.

His winless streak against the Russian now stands at six games, Fischer's resignation came after he had staged a walkout, apparently in objection to tnov. ie cameras in the back of the hall. He stormed offstage and did not return for 30 minutes.

Reasons Given For High Produce Prices County action that allows land developers to compose their own general plans was extended to a second proposal Tuesday when the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors authorized Trans-century Properties to develop the plan for Bodega Harbour subdivision. Les Belden, attorney for Transcentury, explained the development must be within a general plan area to comply with state law.

"There will not be a county general plan in the area for two or three years. Without a general plan we will experience extreme hardship since the state law will bring the project to a standstill," he said. George Kovatch, county planning director, objected to the proposal contending the planners are "answerable" to the developer and the plan is a piecemeal approach and should be tied into the entire Bodega Bay area. Belden suggested the planning area be 1,200 acres in a county service area which includes the subdivision and other properties owned by Transcentury.

"Only one or two people called," station manager Craig Rahn said Tuesday. The center, fold was visible for 75 minutes. Rahn said he was toying with idea of making it a regular Sat. urday feature. The sheriff's office said it was investigating.
