Orton Junction:
Impacts On the Puyallup Valley
by Maxine Herbert-Hill
FUTURE FARMING IMPACT
This decision is precedent setting. It opens all farmland to
development. The county emphasized in reading the proposal that the 4:1
land trade is not to be precedent setting. So proposed developments in the
future will not be required to preserve 4 acres to each acre developed. But
this decision does give the green light to all developers that the county
will not abide by the laws in place that are intended to preserve and
protect the farmland. There is nothing to require the preserved acreage to
be contiguous so the farmland is united. This will splinter the rural area
and open pockets to development. There is nothing to prevent it.
