3 Fingers development planned

'Three Fingers' future concept revealed

CHELAN - Goodfellow Bros, Inc. (GBI), with a local headquarters here,  revealed plans in early September for the much litigated and highly controversial Three Fingers landfill on the south shore of Lake Chelan.
From Chelan courts to appeal courts to, the "illegal dumping" in 1961 has generated great angst and political battles for decades.
That all seems like a distant memory now as Goodfellow Brothers' Chris Martin, Project Manager for Pacific Rim Land (a subsidiary of GBI)  Martin spoke to the Chelan community and city council in August at a public hearing at Chelan City Hall.
Martin brought along project renderings and asked the community to add their suggestions to the renderings to aid the company in planning a development in the growing community of Lake Chelan.
Multi, single-family housing, community clubhouse, pool and spa were on display and availkable for public comment. The proposed plan also highlighted public two public beaches, lake access, lakeside trail and a "comfort station."
Preliminary plans are for two businesses to locate on the property as well as commercial, hopefully to be occupied by a restaurant.
Dock space for the iconic Lake Chelan seaplane business recently defunct do to lack of operating space would be included.
GBI has been working with Chelan Mayor Mike Cooney and the city planning department's head, Craig Gildroy, to ensure the Three Fingers development plans are in line with the Shoreline Master Program (SMP).
Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) would restrict building height.
