County Planner Kicked To Curb

The Kootenai County commissioners decided Monday to continue with the land-use code writing process, but without the Texas-based consultant Kendig Keast Collaborative. A document communicating the commissioners’ desire to end the county’s contractual relationship with Kendig Keast will be drafted immediately. The consultant’s president, Bret Keast, couldn’t immediately be reached for comment late Monday. “Unfortunately, Kendig Keast, in my opinion, doesn’t capture the essence of the county or the character of the county,” Commissioner Dan Green said. The commissioners will meet later in the week to decide what direction to go from here. One direction they don’t like, though, is a modification of the consultant’s proposed Unified Land Use Code/ David Cole , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
