The West Linn Planning Commision final decision notice states, in part, as follows: “Community need” as set forth in CDC 60.070 (a) and (b) concludes that criterion is not satisfied both based on the analysis above and because of the significant (emphasis added) opposition expressed by the residents and local business owners throughout the hearing process.”

Add to this the overwhelming opposition of the neighborhood associations in West Linn, to this industrial expansion on residential property, then you will know that Mr. Hawking’s letter to the editor, and Mr. DiLoreto’s Citizen's View of Dec. 13 are both factually incorrect, in that (1) there is not a small band of West Linn citizens and (2) Mr. Diloreto has absolutely no understanding of why neighbors of the treatment facility and proposed pipeline are concerned.
