I learned about Independent Log Co.’s activity from neighbors who were concerned about what they were witnessing from their properties. I drove to the site and discovered the hill immediately below my property had been excavated.
I attended the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on June 6, and voiced my concern about the industry and what impact it would have on my property value. I asked whether an engineered survey was done – I assumed one was. After learning more about what ILC’s business entails, I am even more concerned. If the zoning is changed or amended in any way, it would be very detrimental for the residents just above ILC on Ridge Drive as well as the Carpenter Natural Area.
It would never be the same.
I’m asking the Cortez City Council to not allow this industry to proceed and to protect the whole area.
I’m not against ILC. I just don’t believe we should have a logging industry in our backyards.
