Developers have applied for a conditional land use permit to develop a "Scottish" championship golf course in a spectacularly undeveloped stretch of the Northern Oregon Coast.
The area is home to threatened and endangered species and Sand Lake is one of only two major estuaries designated as a "natural" estuary by the State of Oregon. The Sand Lake Estuary and Dunes is situated near Whalen Island, Cape Kiwanda and Cape Lookout State Parks and Siuslaw National Forest lands.
The Conditional Use Application for the proposed golf course project has been filed with Tillamook County. We will post comment period dates and hearing dates when they have been set by Tillamook County. The developers have applied for their third extension (now until May 1st, 2005) to turn in additional reports required by Tillamook County.
Hike the threatened Sand Lake Estuary and Dunes on Saturday, March 19th, 11:00 AM.
