Issue: Chateau decides to take out the trash: Developer boots trash bins after county nixes proposal/Marc Stewart, Coeur d’Alene Press
More Info: The Dumpsters are used by the residents who vehemently opposed Kirk-Hughes’ proposal to build a luxury golf course community. The project was rejected by the county commissioners on July 27. Eleven days later, the county received a lease termination notice. It didn’t give any explanation for canceling the lease.
DFO: Wah, wah, waaaaaahhhhh. Move over, GoZZZZZer Ranch, we have another bunch of Big Out-Of-State Developer Creeps Behaving Badly. County officials should remember this pettiness when these clowns return, cap in hand, asking for a follow-up comp plan revision or some other P&Z concessions. Remember, they need us more than we need them.
