The City is looking for a way to avoid a clearcut on twenty acres of timberland below Yachats Ridge. The owner, Clemente Rocha, has signed a contract selling the trees to RF Logging of Dallas, although both Rocha and Joshua Howard, the owner of RF Logging, say they’re willing to work out something with the City. They agreed to a 30-day delay to see what Mayor Craig Berdie can come up with, although options are limited by zoning and forest practice. regulations. If logged, views from Yachats will be affected.
