A citizens meeting to discuss pro
posed revisions to the 1976 Mt Hood
corridor comprehensive plan w ill be
tonight at 7:30 p m at the Women's
Club building in Zigzag
The planning areas targeted by the
revision extended from Alder Creek
to the Clackamas County line at the
summit of Mt Hood The plan must
be updated every five years
In addition to the required up
dating of the plan. last December,
when the Clackamas County Com
prehensive Plan, of which the Com
munity Plan is part, went before the
Land Conservation and Development
Commission (LCDC> for approval,
the county was instructed to further
examine, with public input, four
aspects of the plan.
One of the areas to be reviewed
concerns the undeveloped portion of
the Hoodland Service District, which
lies near Highway 26 and the old
Brightwood I^oop Hoad
The area south of Highway 26 is
commonly referred to as Cedar
Ridge, after a development that was
proposed in the late sixties, which
was defeated in court by a group of
local citizens.
North of Highway 26 and laying
south of the Loop Road is the Alder-
wood area This area has just recent
ly be* n approved as a site for
development of a mobile home sub
division
Levy for
seniors is
forum topic
The three-year senior services
serial levy w ill be discussed March 16
at a c o n tin e n ta l b re a k fa s t at
Bowman's in Rippling River.
Paul Gross, pastor of the Hoodland
Lutheran Church and a member of
the stearing com m ittee of the
Hoodland Senior Center, w ill be the
speaker.
The breakfast w ill begin at 7:30
am .
It was in both of these areas that
the LCDC. after receiving testimony
by residents and members of the En
vironmental Committee On Suitabili
ty. who were represented by 1000
Friends of Oregon, that the county
was directed to identify any wetlands
that may exist and determine how
they are to be protected
The LCDC also directed that any
w e tla n ds o u tsid e the s e rv ic e
district s boundaries that are not
identified, should be designated as
such and mapped
In addition, the county is seeking
input on issues concerning the excep
tions to LCDC's goals numbers three,
which deals with agriculture, and
four.which concerns the forest
It must be shown that areas outside
the service district that are no longer
available for farm and forest use. but
are designated as such, must be
already under development or else
they are ‘ irrevocably committed or
needed for other uses ”
Also, the county must insure that
there are no conflicts existing bet
ween uses "allowed by a Plan
designation on a site and uses allow-
ed by zoning of the site ”
The Mt Hood Plan is to be made
clearer so that property owners know
how land is classified
In relation to density transfers, the
planning staff has recommended that
the follow ing standards for fragile or
hazardous areas be accepted
They have recommended that no
density credit be allowed for the
development of land within the 100
year floodplain
A ll id entified land movement
areas, wetlands, and slopes that ex
ceed 20 percent should not be
developed In these areas. 50 percent
of the density "m ay be transferred to
an unrestricted area.”
Development also shall not occur
within "streamside corridor areas ”
They recommend that 100 percent of
the density allowed by zoning be
transferred to a non restrictive area
in the development's site
