To refresh your memory, this summer a Conditional Use Permit was sought from Tillamook County by the owner of a 53-acre parcel located just south of the second gate at the northern end of the Bayocean spit.

So far the campaign to encourage Cape Meares full-time and part-time residents to sign up for Nextdoor is going well. On Tuesday evening Merilee Sommers invited 140 people from Cape Meares to join with the idea that Nextdoor might serve as a directory for residents and make it easy to learn who your neighbors are and how you might contact them when the need arises. The tally of those who have joined reached 56 after only two days. This represents about a 40% response rate. We hope the number of residents who will be using this resource will continue to grow in the coming days.
