The Agricultural Land Commission denied the Pelton application for the exclusion of select lands from the ALR. In its decision the ALC stated that the request was “inconsistent with the Agricultural Land Commission Act to preserve agricultural land.”

Additionally, in its report the ALC noted that there was “extensive correspondence submitted from the public regarding the application, mostly opposed to the proposed exclusion.” Read the full report here (.pdf). Kudos to everybody who submitted letters and e-mails — you obviously had an effect on the process!
