Dear Neighbors, friends and fellow Neighborhood Associations,

I just spoke with Jennifer Tomlinson at Boise P&Z and she informed me that the City Council held an 'early' hearing at noon today concerning Lumber Products appeal. 

The City Council voted to deny Lumber Products appeal, based on the facts and evidence we've all presented at the hearings.

This 150,000 sq. ft. Warehouse & Trucking facility will-not be built in our neighborhood !!

 

I asked what other options Lumber Products might have and Jennifer said they could make an appeal to the District Court, but didn't feel that would prove very beneficial.

 

Folks, you all deserve a pat on the back, in my 7-8 years of dealing with these kinds of issues this is a very rare victory. We won because of our aggressive diligence and unity, despite several last-minute hearing cancellations by Lumber Products.

These 'timely delays' have been a classic tactic used for years by Developers to erode citizen support. A tactic used especially in the legislature during citizen sponsored Annexation Reform hearings, when too many citizens show-up to testify against Idaho's current Forced Annexation law.

 

Many thanks for your help, wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.

Chuck Thomas
