I hear from Andy's dad that the latest news is that the Planning Dept. has submitted a request to the CA Dept. of Forestry (CDF) for them to approve or reject our road improvement plan. As you may remember from an earlier post (http://bluelakebungalow.blogspot.com/2007/01/recap_543.html), the road improvement is the main dispute in our lot split procedure.
Our plan is to trim back the trees and build an 80' turnout between our new driveway and Andy's parent's existing driveway. The county thinks we should put in 400' of new street with storm drains, sidewalks, etc. CDF is supposed to be the first responders in the event of a fire in our area. However, we know that the Blue Lake Fire Dept. actually would be. Whatever. My understanding of this submittal to CDF is that the county needs to find out if CDF thinks that they will be able to maneuver their trucks around the area given the turnout we have planned.
Andy's dad said that the CDF submittal is a timed thing. (THANK GOODNESS!) Meaning: if CDF does not respond negatively within the time period, it's the same as responding positively. Silence equals consent. In this particular case, I think I like it. Let's just hope the time period isn't 6 months.
