PORT ANGELES — A proposed crematory in Carlsborg is still on hold after a hearing in front of the Clallam County commissioners on Tuesday.
About 80 people, most against the proposed business, attended the hearing at the Clallam County Courthouse.
The commissioners heard arguments from each of the three attorneys involved, as well as a few of the people they represent — but it did not come to a decision on the crematory’s conditional use permit.
Instead, the three commissioners are expected to make a decision either at their Oct. 21 or Oct. 28 meeting.
The commission has three options:
The permit would allow the crematory to locate itself at 108-B Business Park Loop in the Carlsborg Industrial Park.
The permit is needed because crematories are not addressed in Clallam County’s zoning code.
The crematory, proposed by Jason Linde of Linde Family Funeral Services, received the permit on May 7 from Clallam County Hearing Examiner Chris Melly.
Melly presided over a public hearing on the subject on April 23.
