Good afternoon,
MEETINGS -- The Interagency Flood Response Group that we’ve pulled together – including Clackamas County, Department of State Lands, US Army Corps of Engineers and the National Marine Fisheries Service – met with residents from Zig Zag Village last week. Now we are working on scheduling similar meetings with groups from two more areas – Autumn Lane/Lolo Pass and Timberline Rim – during the week of Feb. 28.
We have sent letters to people in both those areas – if you are in one of the areas and have not yet received a letter, please let us know.
PERMITS -- Please remember – for your sake and the sake of your neighbors and community -- permits are required for work on structures, on the riverbank or in the river, and no blanket permits have been issued. Work done without permits is subject to fines and/or required to be undone.
We appreciate the cooperation we’ve received so far. If you have questions, the key contacts continue to be Steve Hanschka ([email protected] or 503.742.4512) or Rebecca Ceniga ([email protected] or 503.742.4505) in Clackamas County Land Use & Zoning.
