Councilman Fred Holschuh:
I did a quick review of Bill 80 and here are my thoughts:
• The purpose of the ordinance is a good one-"conserve and protect agricultural lands and discourage the
development of luxury residential subdivisions and resort-like subdivisions on agricultural lands".
• The amendment to Section 2, chapter 23 article 3, division 1, section 23-23 (b) states "No subdivision of
land classified as agricultural by the State Land Use Commission, or zoned family agricultural, agricultural
or intensive agricultural by the county Consideration should be given to changing it to "land
classified as Important Agricultural Lands as shown in the County General Plan." Not all of the lands
classified as "agriculture" is well suited for that purpose.
• Section 23-23(b) 3 and 4 concerning gated or limited entry and a 3,500 sq. ft. dwelling needs further
explanation on why these restrictions are there. What is really needed is the assurance that farming
activities (need to define) will occur on the parcel.
• Section 23-23 (c) Is there a need to define "sufficient water will be available to support agricultural
operations"?
As mentioned, these are my thoughts. Haven't had the opportunities to get others to give me their comments.
