Reclaiming a County

From the Sol Duc Valley to Tumwater Creek, organized public testimony is forcing course corrections at Clallam County

CUPs and Mirrors

During a February 5 public hearing on a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application submitted by Nevada-based 9999GrouseGlen, LLC, local representative Luanne Hinkle failed to ease community concerns.

Neither Ms. Hinkle nor the property owners contacted neighboring homeowners before submitting a CUP application to the Department of Community Development (DCD). The proposal seeks approval for 32 mirrored prefabricated structures and a 4,800-square-foot community center on a 21-acre parcel currently zoned for 5-acre homesites.
