Bear Development is seeking to have 3.5 acres of land removed from a
Primary Environmental Corridor across the street from Silver Lake in
exchange for adding five acres under that designation elsewhere. A public hearing on the mitigation plan was held this week before the Salem Lakes Planning Commission. The 3.5-acres Bear seeks to mitigate is part of a larger 14-acre tract off Cogswell Drive just south of the Industrial Park that was cleared more than 10 years ago by then-owner Bob Heilgeist. ...moreKen Notes: Would it not make sense to have a master plan for the state with environmentally sensitive lands that are at risk prioritized so that when a "trade" is proposed we can protect the most sensitive at risk land in the state or region. Also I have seen many examples of bad development moving forward because they could not get permits for far better plans that required environmental exchanges or other conditional use permits. | ||
