“This parcel is adjacent to lands zoned to allow timber harvesting as permitted by either the County of San Mateo or the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Residents on this parcel may be subject to inconvenience or discomfort arising from timber harvesting operations, including but not limited to the felling of trees; noise from trucks, tractors, chain saws; dust; vibration; slash burning; and timber harvest road and bridge construction. San Mateo County has established that timber harvesting is an appropriate use on productive timberlands as a sustained yield management resource, and residents of adjacent property should be prepared to accept such inconvenience or discomfort from normal, necessary timber harvesting operations.”
