Healdsburg timber owner’s checkered land-use history followed him to Sonoma County
Eureka attorney, landowner and timber operator Ken Bareilles had been battling state land-use regulations for some 50 years before he bought his forested property outside Healdsburg in 2015. … Even as he fought to withdraw his plea and minimize the consequences, Bareilles’ probation was revoked in 2011 for violations of county and state Fish and Game codes. They included illegal grading, altering a streambed, conducting timber operations outside his permit area and contributing to pollution in a stream designated critical habitat for steelhead trout.
