JACKSON: Yes. CLARKSON: Can you explain how that came about? JACKSON: Sure. CLARKSON: Was there an up -zone from smaller lots? JACKSON: No, so a lot of the lots in this area were created before the Zoning Code, so when the Zoning Code was established, they just went in and said we want this whole area to be Ag -20 recognizing that a lot of the existing lots were less than Ag -20. So, you have a mix of two -acre lots all the way to about 11 to 12 acres. There's about 8 to 10 other lots along this road that could be rezoned and subdivided to 5 -acre lots. CLARKSON: Thank you. If there are no further questions from the Commissioners REPLOGLE: I have a question. So, the purpose of zoning this Ag -20 was to protect good Ag land, and you just stated that there's other 20 -acre lots that could be subdivided into 5 -acre lots. Was that the plan? JACKSON: The Zoning Code was established many decades ago, so at that time, the plan may have been REPLOGLE: Oh, that's allowed JACKSON: to keep that whole area in larger ag lot for farming, but the current plans that we have don't have any guidance in them that says that further subdivision or rezoning of lots to smaller lots in this area is prohibited. So, this is a reasonable land use pattern at this time for this area. REPLOGLE: Okay, thank you.
