T he C lackam as County P lan n in g
Commission is ready to begin hearings on
the Mt Hood Comprehensive Plan as
developed with the help ol the local ad
visory group, the Woodland Planning
Group (H P G ).
The county planners have set July 20 for
the first public hearing on the revised land
use study at the Welches Grade School at 8
p.m
But first, the plan will be form ally
presented to the planning commission on
July 12. it was decided last week at the
planning commission meeting
decided last week at the planning com
mission meeting
The planners have proposed that
discussion be held initially between the
Board of County Commissioner* and
members of the HPG and the engineering
firm of CH2M H ill before the plan is
presented to the public
This is what the July 12 meeting would
be, according to Ken Dauble of the county
planning staff
Dauble told the Post Friday, the July 12
meeting would be for the presentation of
the revised plan sim ilar to the two public
presentations held in the Woodland area
and Portland recently
‘‘This w ill allow the county com
missianers a chance to become fam iliar
with the plan the same as the two earlier
meetings allowed the over 800 persons who
attended," said Dauble
The July 20 meeting was set by the
planners following suggestions by plan
rung director James Hall and commission
member Hay Novotny 'resident of the
Woodland area ) that the public hearing
should be held in the Hoodland area and on
a night when most people cound attend
This Mt Hood plan covers roughly the
85,000 acres of land between Cherryville to
Government Camp along Highway 26
The plan took almost two years to be
developed and it gives general outlines and
guidelines on the environmental impact of
housing, roads, water quality, sewer
facilities and recreational facilities in the
area.
The 136-page report could be adopted in
part or in full after the public hearings are
held, according to Dauble
"A t present, only the July 20 public
hearing date has been set," said Dauble
Last week, the county commissioners
signed an agreement with six other
governmental agencies to do a further
land-use study of the Mt Hood area
According to Dauble, this new study will
enable the county to carry out some of the
goals and objectives as indicated by the
proposed Mt Hood Comprehensive Plan

fixed costs in this section of the budget
