Imagery from 2020, after the Beachie Creek Fire, <br />shows the remains of buildings in similar locations that were previously shown in aerial imagery. Imagery from <br />2021 provides evidence that the burned structures and trees were being cleared and the land being restored. <br />Subsequent imagery from 2023 and 2025 also shows that both parcels have been cleared of fire debris and attempts <br />to restore driveways were made. In addition, TL 800 had an agricultural exempt structure built along with several <br />other accessory structures and other agricultural related structures. For the purpose of reestablishing dwellings lost <br />in the 2020 Beachie Creek Fire, the above criteria are met. <br /> <br />8.
