POST FALLS — Residents against the marina expansion at Red Lion Templin's Hotel on the Spokane River are holding a meeting at 11 a.m. Saturday at Post Falls Library Room One, 821 N. Spokane St., Post Falls.
414 PF Hospitality submitted an application to the Department of Lands to "expand the existing commercial marina including private moorage, reconfigure existing fuel lines with two new dispensaries and build a new ship store on the Spokane River."
After the application was submitted, Post Falls residents Scott and Sheryl Scofield, Jose Jara and Dick Teich formally filed for an administrative hearing to oppose the expansion project.
A Department of Lands hearing took place Dec. 19, and a recommended order is due Feb. 7. The upcoming library meeting will occur the day after.
The expansion would add 127 boat slips to the marina.
In a recent advertisement in The Press on Jan. 27, the residents asked that a Spokane River traffic study be conducted to determine safe levels of traffic.
