Controversy with propose log yard off the Skyway

Action News Now spoke with people in favor of the site, people against and the property owner.

Following plans to bring a controversial log yard to paradise -- action news now's christina vitale first reported this story last week.

She's live on the ridge with new insight on what this facility could mean for community re- growth.

This lot right off the crossroads is where they'll stack the wood from dead and dying trees.

The town chose these sites to haul the trees too that don't fit under cal oes' program& mainly those trees on private roads.

Dave anderson of anderson brothers owns this property.

He tells me they submitted a temporary use permit to the town of paradise.

It's good though the end of the year and allows them to work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, using up to 285 trucks a day.

Now anderson says they most likely won't work that long or use that many trucks.

He just put down the maximum because once approved he can't add to it.

I think people need to realize that one it is temporary and two we gotta get this cleaned up it's a serious hazard and its just going to get worse and we're running out of time it will affect the air, water system, the noise the state program is going to put stuff on the property right next door the old walmart piece so the objections people have about noise and traffic its going to exist with that state program anyways..

This is at least a local developer a local business now that's going to operate as a non profit and going to serve our citizens and that's what we need to do ive lived near this side in fact my backyard backs up to this property and ive heard many crashes on this curve behind us we have a tentative approved plan before we submitted the application it was reviewed by town engineer and chief of police they both said this is workable we can come up with an approved cal trans plan live right here is where anderson says they'll be putting in a temporary crossroadãthey wont be using the crossroads just down the street.

He'll submit the traffic plan to the town in the next few days.
