HAMILTON — For many months now residents who live near the proposed Sapphire Heights Subdivision northeast of Hamilton have had concerns about how a proposed development could change their livelihood.
They were given the chance to express those concerns on Wednesday night.
“It is not easy for me to be up here today.”
Said one Corvallis resident when speaking to the Ravalli County Planning Board.
Several Corvallis residents were in the Hamilton City Council Chambers to have their concerns about the proposed 12-lot major subdivision on 121 acres of agricultural land in Corvallis taken into account by the planning board.
The public addressed many issues they have seen with the subdivision from water, rights, wildlife concerns, and more.
With public comments made about arsenic in the bedrock of the proposed subdivision and other concerns about traffic from 12 new lots, the planning board took all of these comments into account.
The public will have another opportunity to comment on the proposed development on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, at 6 p.m. in Hamilton City Hall.
