Dear Editor:
Alna residents are about to vote on a proposed change to their Shoreland Zoning Ordinance. If that change were to bring real improvements, everyone would vote for it. But the proposed amendment seems to have been prepared in haste, without proper justification.
The proposal recommends easing regulations on shoreland zone structures. But it doesn’t say why such changes are necessary. What problem is it addressing? Implementing a solution for a problem that isn’t well defined is not good management. It could fail to solve the problem — or worse — have unintended and costly results.
