FIREWISE INFO
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
A quick update on our appeal to Superior Court. It was filed on April 14th, 2021. Initial hearing dates and case schedules are being worked out between the county attorney and our attorney, David Bricklin. RECENT SPORTS COMPLEX NEWS
The
Spokane County Hearing Examiner, Mr. David Hubert, made his ruling. If you
recall we appealed the Planning Director's administrative interpretation
of the Sports Complex. The Planning Director, John Pederson, confirmed
that the proposed sports complex is a "Community Recreation Facility" and
therefore is allowed in our rural community. The Hearing Examiner agreed
with the planning director. To read his ruling click on this link,
Hearing Examiner Decision.
To the consternation of our attorney, our Glenrose legal committee, and
the entire Glenrose Association Board, neither the hearing examiner or the
planning director have been willing to look at what this proposed sports
complex actually is. Their position is that in our rural area the only
thing that is allowed is a community recreation facility so that is what
the proposed sports complex must be. For those of us that have followed
this case this line of thinking makes absolutely no sense! After applying for a grading permit in early January and the County Planning Department asking for public comment through February 26th there have been no actions. The planning department is reviewing the comments but has not made a ruling on the project. That does not mean the TGA legal team has been dorment.

SPORTS COMPLEX NEWS There is still no news from Lincoln County Superior Court on a date for our case to be heard before the court. In the meantime we continue to save money to pay our for our projected attorney costs when the case is tried. At our January monthly meeting there were a lot of questions about the case which is completely understandable in as much as it has been pending since 2008! If you have questions many of the answers are on our website. Click on this link, SPORTS COMPLEX INFO, to read about it.
Thru January, 2023 we are at 39% of our $15,000
goal. Thank you to all of you that have donated to the cause. If you
haven't donated yet and can help us reach our goal we really appreciate
it. We have two ways for folks to contribute to the cause. Click on this
link, DONATION, and fill out the paper form and mail it back with your
donation or use the online form. It will be much appreciated SPORTS COMPLEX DEVELOPMENTS One thing that was very clear during the interview mentioned above, if the proposed sports complex is allowed to be built in Glenrose it will forever change the face of the community. We challenge anyone who claims the development is remotely compatible with the area. The county planning department doesn't seem to care, the county commissioners are a no show, and the property owners are simply not good neighbors. They could care less what the impact their development has on the Glenrose Community. It is up to us who live here to be the good stewards of our community not only for us but for everyone in the county! We want to bring you up to date with our ongoing fight to prevent this development. If you recall our legal team filed our case in Lincoln County Superior Court rather than Spokane County. The right to file in an adjacent county has been a common practice for many years and was done to avoid any potential bias that may exist had our case been heard in Spokane County. The Spokane Youth Sports attorney challenged this action as being unconstitutional in the state of Washington. The Lincoln County Court agreed with SYSA, and we were forced to appeal to The Court of Appeals of The State of Washington Division III. Briefs have been submitted and the Court of Appeals will make their decision on April 29, 2022. We will learn our fate sometime after that
