A new website has been developed to assist Oregon homeowners and landowners navigate the appeal process of their state wildfire risk map designations.
"UNDO762.org" provides up-to-date information on the appeal process and how landowners can help reverse the consequential impacts of the controversial map.
The state's deadline for filing an appeal is now one week away. Those who fail to request their appeal hearing by March 10th will automatically and permanently forfeit their ability to appeal their individual wildfire hazard map designation.
The March 10th deadline for filing an appeal remains in effect. Governor Kotek's recent statement of a delay does not mean the filing process is delayed. Businesses and trusts owning land should know that an attorney is required for the appeal hearing, but an attorney is not required to file the appeal.
Communications Coordinator Jeff Bradshaw said "UNDO762.org" provides valuable information on how landowners can not only appeal what some say are Oregon's overreaching land use restrictions, but also information on how to file a Cease and Desist Order and demand a 120-day extension for the filing.
Bradshaw said "UNDO762.org" will maintain its presence after the deadline and he encourages all property owners to continuously monitor the site. Information contained on the website is intended to educate affected parties and help them remain confident in their efforts to appeal their wildfire hazard map designations.
