Owners: ‘We’re Not Anti-Environment’

Item: 'We're not anti-environment': Lakeshore property owners group wants more flexibility in land use code/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: CLPOA Vice President Bruce Cyr explained the association's position on the code and urged about 150 lakeshore owners in attendance to make sure to educate themselves on the issue. Cyr has been trying to influence the issue since 2010. He said that is when the county started to rewrite its land use code. He said the association is primarily concerned with setback regulations that could wind up preventing any dock, deck or landscaping activity within 25 feet of the waterfront. "Instead of infringing on the regulations, we wanted them to give us some flexibility in the rules," Cyr said. "Stopping all activity in the area didn't make sense."

Question: Does the Coeur d'Alene Lakeshore Homeowners Association have a legitimate beef about the proposed Unified Land Use Code?
