Inland Empire Paper Co. is seeking approval of a plan to subdivide 104 acres in Greenacres for a new housing development called River Glen. Twenty homes would be built off Euclid and Campbell, approximately one mile east of Barker Road along the north side of the Spokane River. A strip of state-owned land separates the River Glen property from the river, but nearly all of the building lots would have river views. The proposed lots range in size from 1.5 acres to nearly 6 acres, said Spokane County associate planner Louis Webster. Most homes would be situated on two-acre parcels.
