Three forest-home appeals reach a decision Tuesday
Lane County commissioners scheduled 1:30 p.m. deliberations and possible action on three proposals in the Impacted Forest Lands Zone.
Three rural Lane County forest-template dwelling appeals return to the Board of Commissioners at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. The posted agenda lists continued deliberations and possible action on proposals previously denied by the county hearings official.
The three files concern properties in the Impacted Forest Lands Zone. This is the decision end of an on-the-record process, not a new evidentiary hearing. The agenda does not promise a particular outcome, and advocacy claims about donors, motives or countywide consequences are not established by the official record.
People following the files can watch the hybrid meeting or read the posted package. Anyone submitting a general written comment should understand that sending material does not make it new evidence in the closed on-the-record proceeding.
