IN TER VEN O R S
On July 12 five other
Brightwood area residents
opposing the development
filed for intervenor status
in the appeal before LUBA
They are Andrea and Gor
don Cabral, and Judith and
Robert Decker They are
all members of MACC
The Cabrals, in a sworn
statement attached to the
motion to intervene, report
the development would
cause
“ p o s sib le
ir
revocable damage" to in
ventoried wetlands, as well
as alter the course of a
stream that runs through
their property.
They also claim the
water table of the area
would be affected because
additional wells to serve
the development would
have to be drilled This,
coupled with the adverse
affects on the wetlands,

Decker's statement claims
the subdivision would

area
They c la im the
development would cause
“ adverse consequences by
encouraging p rem atu re
(and) sporadic develop
ment on farm and forest
land," which would be in
violation of the state s plan
ning goals
In addition, the Deckers
fear the development could
change the flow of runoff
water on their property,
which acts as an aquifer for
their water system This
could "dim inish'’ their own
water source

wrote the development
“ would have adverse con

By allow ing this develop
ment to proceed, the pur
pose of the Mt Ho«xl Plan,

and
the

by allowing such a use on
