Public Comment on Residential and Recreational Fires
Steve Wait, a resident of Cannon Beach, raised concerns about the city's current regulations regarding residential and recreational fires. He reported that smoke from these fires often drifts into his home and his neighbors' homes, making it difficult to enjoy their properties. Wait suggested that the city ban yard waste and household trash burning, noting that there are already facilities for recycling and yard waste disposal. He also mentioned that the current code allows for recreational fires without a permit, which he believes should be either permitted or restricted. Wait emphasized that smoke pollution is a significant nuisance and a health hazard, especially for individuals with respiratory conditions.
