Type: Easement
Year Acquired: 1991
Acres: n/a
Bill Marlow purchased several blocks in Irondale, two with portions of Chimacum Creek flowing through them. He logged the property in a careful manner then vacated streets and combined lots to create a lower density than might have been developed.
Each of the house sites overlooks the creek, and each of the lots created by Bill is subject to a conservation easement affecting a 100-foot wide strip of land (50 feet on each side of the centerline of the creek.)
The intention is to preserve bank stability by preserving existing vegetation, and permanently preclude any development near the stream. Site allows for educational and scientific use.
