Dunes city to talk about litigation and code enforcement
Dunes City Councilors will spend some time behind closed doors this evening consulting with their legal counsel about litigation. Alan Montgomery sought approval nearly two years ago to divide and develop a parcel of land on Clear Lake Road near Siltcoos Lake’s Kiechle Arm. The application was denied on several counts and Montgomery filed suit last year to seek relief. In other business tonight, Dunes City will discuss and possibly take action on revising regulations that established an Ordinance Review Committee in the city. Another draft ordinance is on the table for discussion as well… that would change the city’s code enforcement process. The Dunes City Council meets at six this evening.
West Lane County Commissioner Jay Bozievich will address the Florence Area Chamber of Commerce noon forum today at Driftwood Shores Surfside Restaurant. It’s open to the public and runs from noon until one pm. From there, he’ll spend time in the Florence area before holding a ‘community conversation’ with constituents at the Bridgeport Market from four to 5:30.
Note to self… a taxi may not be the best getaway car. Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested a suspected armed robber Tuesday morning as he was riding in a taxi on Highway 38 east of Elkton. Police say 35-year old Christopher Allen Blodgett is accused of holding up a liquor store in Coquille Monday. Investigators discovered Blodgett had called for a taxi in North Bend Tuesday morning. Dispatchers located it on Highway 38 east of Reedsport. Deputies stopped the car just outside of Drain where they took the Coquille resident into custody.
The annual Spring Beach Cleanup is still more than a month away, but organizers of the effort along one section of beach in Douglas County say they’ll be giving away something special. The Reedsport Rotary Club adopted the Sparrow Park stretch of beach, just north of the Umpqua River. They’ve also teamed up with the Eugene Glass School, whose artists have donated several glass floats to be given away to volunteers. The SOLV Great Spring Beach Cleanup is set for March 26th. Coordinated by SOLV and Oregon State Parks, hundreds of volunteers will converge on Oregon’s 361-mile coastline to pickup trash.
