Concerning the Carpenter Natural Area, I’ve been watching the steady influx of materials and equipment line the borders of the west entrance. It seems the rate and volume of occupancy at Independent Log Co. has increased since the debate has included more of the community.
I understand the need for industrial properties. However, turning a commercial area surrounded by a quiet neighborhood and a dedicated natural area into an industrial zone, against the will of an outspoken community, sets a precedent for ongoing zoning changes without recourse.
I hope for an unprejudiced outcome that supports our zoning code so residents can count on at least being included in decisions affecting our neighborhoods.
