Dear Mrs Albert,
As I mentioned on the phone yesterday, Sierra Pacific would like to propose to Vacate a
portion of the County ROW that extends off the end of the unmaintained County ROW on
Berry RD, Winlock, WA.
The intent of Sierra Pacific is to be able to conduct forestry operations in this area while
having a little impact on our neighbors as possible.
We would propose to Vacate that portion where the unmaintained County ROW off Berry
Rd enters into Sierra Pacific ownership in Parcel#018293002004 to facilitate future forest
operations. We would be willing to provide any necessary additional info and/or
resources for you to full evaluate this proposal.
Feel free to contact me on my cell phone at 360-957-0579.
Thanks for your consideration,
Lai
