Copy of letter to Planning Director Duane Kanuha from

feels, if successful, would not be in compliance with

applicable subdivision law or providing needed
infrastructure.
States the Legislature should revise its Horizontal
Property Regime laws to preclude use of agricultural
land for any kind of "condominium" and that the County,
particularly the Planning Department, should recognize
"agricultural condominiums" for what they are, i.e.
subdivisions, and not allow them to take place without
meeting all applicable subdivision laws.
