I am concerned about a large subdivision project in our neighborhood, which is poised to cause significant traffic disruptions, including to EMS services, and major environmental impacts. The development is the Schnell Farms (PUD CASE PLD-2024-00018).
My primary concern lies with the issue of public notice. According to the law, the public must be notified of any developments that could impact the community. While it is true that a notice was issued for this particular development, I am compelled to highlight that the execution of this notice was alarmingly deceptive.
The notice was strategically placed in a location that is not easily accessible to the public. In fact, it is positioned at the end of an area that does not even qualify as a road but rather a lawn, clearly out of view from the road and far removed from the public.
This deceptive practice undermines the fundamental right of the community to be adequately informed about significant developments that could affect their daily lives. It is imperative that the process of public notice be conducted with transparency and integrity to foster trust and accountability within our community.
