Hundred Flowers Bloom
“There’s no doubt about that,” Smith said. “And at least the way it was explained to me, there wasn’t an option to go down and participate [in the bankruptcy proceedings]. We didn’t have any standing in the court. And I didn’t see it until the week before, what the proposed plan was.”
But once the county had made its point, Smith said, he didn’t see any need for extending the moratorium, considering its consequences to other timber landowners. Instead, the board voted to go ahead with its plans to permanently update its building regulations in timber lands, possibly instituting changes that would require extensive permits for new homes on lands so zoned.
The county’s Forestry Review Committee took a look at the proposed changes at its meeting last week. And while the committee didn’t take any immediate action, chairperson Mark Andre said last week that he believed that the county could eventually reach some sort of equitable resolution to the issue.
