Department of Ecology Addresses Non-Conforming Use

During the County Council session of Feb. 9, Mr. Erik Stockdale of the Department of Ecology gave a presentation and answered questions concerning the recent change in direction over the review of a possible updated Critical Areas Ordinance.  

This short video shows an exchange initiated by Councilmember Howie Rosenfeld.  Mr. Stockdale is invited to share Ecology's thinking about the issue of non-conformance, of concern to CSA, because it speaks directly to "How will we treat our neighbors in the San Juan Islands?" 

The  video contrasts several of Mr. Stockdale's remarks to some earlier DOE statements regarding both non-conformance as well as restrictions on gardens and orchards in critical areas.
