The next meeting of the Maltby Council will be Monday, April 26 at 5:30 PM at the Maltby Community Club.
I am proud to announce that the group has accomplished two of its goals: 1. The landscape code has been changed to eliminate the road as the landscape buffer and 2. "No trucks allowed" signs have been posted at the 197th ST entrance, the 201st ST entrance, and on 206th ST west of 86th Ave. There is still much to do and it appears that the next pressing problem is the Hooper Tow Yard. The County has issued a Determination of Nonsignificance on the conditional use permit application SEPA checklist. Those that are parties of record should have gotten a package from the County by now. This is just the first step on the way to a Hearing on June 3, 2010. At the meeting we will discuss our next actions and decide how to proceed. Hooper currently has a tow yard on 180th ST across from the fire station in Clearview. That whole area is an absolute disaster, with five tow yards/car sales/junk yards and we surely don't want that kind of junk in our neighborhood, especially on rural residential property. Take a look at that area this weekend if you have a chance. We will also review the status of other ongoing projects. The Maltby Council represents the Maltby Neighborhood Alliance and everyone in the greater Maltby area is invited to this meeting so please pass the word to those who might be interested. Thanks, Bill Jaques
