SEQUIM: CRITICAL AREAS ORDINANCE UNDER FIRE AGAIN

SEQUIM — Vietnam-era veteran Joseph Gil Lujan says his home has become the latest victim of Clallam County’s controversial Critical Areas Ordinance.

County staff will close Lujan’s mobile-home property on 152 River’s End Road on May 11, saying the property floods regularly, leaks raw sewage and is dangerous to public health.

The county issued a Do Not Occupy order on Wednesday. A county spokesman said the order is not related to the critical areas rule, but is a public health issue.

Three months earlier, Sequim businessman Jerry Levesque, another Rivers End Road property owner, was cited for illegally building up a driveway with fill material and allowing a trailer to occupy the site.
