Speaker urges council to help protect roughly 990 acres north of Cumberland
Summary
A resident asked the council to support conserving about 990 acres near Lizard Mountain north of Cumberland, citing recreation, wildlife habitat and local well concerns and saying county and state officials have shown interest.
Linda Stevens asked the council to help preserve about 990 acres north of Cumberland, describing long-standing recreational use of the area and concerns about water and access if development proceeds. "This is a beautiful piece of property... it would be wonderful to be able to save it," she said, and noted the county and state had at least discussed possible interest in protection.
Stevens described trails, river access and terrain suitable for older residents and urged council to consider conservation options as county permitting for other nearby projects proceeds. She did not request a specific council action at the meeting but left the matter for staff and council review.
