The Supreme Court has sided with our Sagle group, Citizens Against Linscott Interstate Asphalt Plant!

Praise the Lord!

I will attach the decision but to put it in a nutshell, the Supreme Court agreed with our attorney, Gary Allen of Givens Pursley, that the County had illegally adopted the amendment regarding and asphalt plant going in rural 5, ag and forest land. Because the amendment was void, the conditional use permit for Interstate to have an asphalt plant, in the Linscott pit, is also VOID. 

Not only has Linscott outgrown their nonconforming land use, from when they were only 17 acres in 1981, when the zoning changed to make the gravel pit illegal in this zone, but they have grown beyond what is legal and beyond what is in our Title 12 and nonconforming land use Bonner County Codes. 

The Supreme Court has ruled the County acted in a manner that was arbitrary and capricious in refusing to address the nonconforming use of provisions of the Bonner County Code so they awarded our attorneys fees for the Appeal ONLY. 

We are still asking for help to pay for the fees prior to appeal.
