HISTORY OF PROPOSED BELLS RAPIDS DEVELOPMENT
IN 1983 BONDCORP WERE GIVEN APPROVAL FOR A SUBDIVISION IN BRIGADOON AND ACTIVELY DEVELOPED STAGES 1 & 2. MOST OF THIS LAND WAS HISTORICALLY CLEARED GRAZING LAND AND THE REMAINING DID NOT NEED A FIRE PLAN, REQUIRING LAND TO BE CLEARED . IN 1993 BONDCORP WENT IN RECEIVERSHIP AND A DEED OF RELEASE WAS SIGNED - AROUND THIS TIME THE WA PLANNING COMMISSION BOUGHT A LARGE AMOUNT OF THIS LAND ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF BELLS RAPIDS, EFFECTIVELY STOPPING PART OF THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. UNFORTUNATELY, WITH THEIR LACK OF VISION THEY DID NOT BUY THE MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY IMPORTANT EASTERN SIDE OF BELLS RAPIDS AT THIS TIME. THIS LAND HAS BEEN BOUGHT AND SOLD BY VARIOUS DEVELOPERS. THE CURRENT BEING PEET LTD WHO HAVE SUBMITTED THIS PROPOSED SUBDIVISION. PEET LTD PROBABLY BELIEVE AS THEY OWN THIS LAND THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO DEVELOP IT. WE BELIEVE NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO DESTROY OUR ENVIRONMENT
