Yes, the State is in charge of <br /> deciding who gets licenses but you are given the responsibility to set policies in place to determine how Kittitas <br /> County will handle these requests for pot farms. <br /> I strongly urge you to do as other counties surrounding us are doing. My first choice would be to ban marijuana <br /> all together. The majority of those voting on this Initiative in this county voted no. That should mean <br /> something. My second choice would be at least a moratorium to allow time to see how this is all going to work. <br /> If the state has not finalized their regulations, why should this county make such an important decision that has <br /> the possibility of many adverse effects on it's residents. <br /> The possibility of increased crime, the negative affect on property values and the impact on the rural character <br /> of the community are just a few reasons to take a very cautious approach. <br /> I was born in this valley and raised on a farm and yes the rural character has changed over the years. Adding pot <br /> farms to the mix takes things to a whole new level. One that as a property owner in the AG 20 zone causes me <br /> great concern. <br /> In my opinion we do not owe those looking for places for their pot farms a quick decision. They are applying <br /> for licenses using addresses and they don't even own the property. I hope you put the citizens of this county as <br /> your priority. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Connie Dunnington <br /> 5900 Weaver Rd <br /> Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br /> i <br />
