GENERAL PLAN bunaay, June 20,1982 Ukiah Dally Journal, Uklah, Calif-3 (Continued from Page 1) "That's exactly right," Boynton said. "And under the current goals and policies, I don't believe we can approve this project." A central general plan goal is to prevent development of county resource lands, including rangelands. Schwan, who recently said Ridgewheel's parent company, Calumet Industries, could be forced into banlcruptcy unless development on the property proceeds, said he was disappointed in the commission's decision. "The manufacturing of 160s (the minimum size allowed for rangeland in the plan) in the middle of a residential subdivision is purely stupidity," he said. Following are commission decisions on other proposed amendments: COX; Realtor Cox had three proposed amendments.

One, for intensive S-R zoning on Burke Hill Road south of Ukiah. was rejected. Two others, including Cox's ranch adjacent to Greenfield Ranch, were delayed at his request. Cox confirmed speculation that he will push to split his ranch north of Ukiah if the county allows intensive use at neighboring Greenfield to continue. "York Ranch hinges on the outcome at Greenfield," he told the commission.

Greenfield residents, meanwhile, are negotiating through the use permit process for county recognition of 24 separate lots on the 5,400 acre ranch. Commissioners unanimously rejected a proposal to recognize the relatively dense settlement of the Mid-Mountain ranch in ter Valley by switching zoning from Rangeland to 20-acre lots. "You would have to say this would be inconsistent with several general plan policies," Hammond said. AVENUE; Vineyards will remain mixed in with residential uses along Central Avenue west of Calpella, commissioners decided. They unanimously opposed switching from agriculture to high-density zoning.

Lawmen's report Drunk driving arrest Ukiah police locked up another alleged drunk driver Saturday. According to police Geraido Garcia, 23, of Ukiah, was stopped at the intersection of State and Scott streets for a traffic violation. The officer subsequently discovered that Garcia was intoxicated and driving without a driver's license. ions -I I Warrant issued for drug sales suspect A no-bail arrest warrant was issued Friday in Mendocino County Superior Court for a Ukiah man facing charges of illegal drug sales a man who reportedly was one of the last people to see murder victims Larry and Venita Cape alive. Udell Miller, 43, was to appear before Judge Arthur B.

Broaddus to have a trial date set. He pleaded not guilty last March to charges of possessing and selling methamphetamines to an informant working for the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office during an undercover operation. Miller is reported to be one of the last people to see the Capes before they were executed last fall, apparently after becoming involved in a drug deal. They were last seen Oct. 18, and their badly decomposed t)odies were discovered on Cow Mountain the following December.

Authorities have still not solved the double murder. Miller was arrested last Jan. 14 his birthday after informant Larry Roberts of Ukiah, working with Sheriff's Narcotics Investigator Ron Caudillo, made two purchases of "speed" from Miller valued at $40pach. At Miller's preliminary hearing Feb. 25; Roberts testified that he first became involved as an informant against Miller when he went to the Sheriff's Office late one night between September and December of last year.

Said Roberts: "I went to the sheriff's department that night because I felt at that time there was not being anything done on the Capes' disappearance, and I thought Udell Miller knew a lot more about it than what he was saying. And I offered to find had been questioned about the Capes' disappearance. (At the February prellmhiary hearing of accused heroin salesman Salvador Moreno a secret informant stated similar motives for helping authorities. That informant also said he didn't think enough was being done to solve the killings and that he wanted to help, according to Chief Criminal Prosecutor George McClure. Shortly after Moreno's hearing McClure said that the informant "didn't think the police were doing enough and he wanted to give them some At Miller's hearing Roberts testified that he first met the defendant through Larry Cape.

He said that last September Miller called him and asked what he had told police about the Capes' disappearance. Roberts said that he had overheard Larry Cape say in a telephone conversation the day he disappeared that he would be at Miller's house in Ukiah in about 10 minutes. According to Roberts' testimony. Miller had said that Cape, who owned and ran a carpet cleaning business, was coming to inspect a mess on his, Miller's, carpet. Continuing his testimony, Roberts said that Miller had told him this after the Capes' disappearance: "Larry was doing something, running a mission for him or something, and that he figured that it wasn't that dangerous of a thing, that there shouldn't have been any foul play in what he had him doing." Roberts also said he'd heard a rumor that there had been a "transaction" Involving five pounds of cocaine between Larry Cape and Miller the night Cape was last seen.

Miller denied the transaction, Roberts said. Obituaries Mabel St. Louis Mabel St. Louis, a resident of Covelo for the past several years, died Thursday in a local hospital. She was 80.
