Ada Orr Rezoning Public Hearing (Comm. #10-83-4)
Chairman Bosell opened the public hearing.
Ada Orr stated that she has approximately 147 acres that should like to have rezoned to
agricultural preserve.
Harvey Lewis noted that according to the notice he received, it looks as though his
property is included in Mrs. Orr's request and asked if this was the case. It was noted
that his property is not included.
Commissioner Knutson asked if the property is being farmed at the present time. Mrs. Orr
stated that all of it with the exception of the lowland is being farmed. She does not
farm it, but rents the land out.
Chairman Bosell noted that we must first determine if the property is eligible for
agricultural preserve before rezoning it. She stated that there is one residence per
40 acres, it meets the size requirements and the property is all contiguous.
Commissioner Perry noted that on the restrictive covenant, those properties which belong
to Ken Orr and Harvey Lewis should be noted as exceptions.
Mrs. Orr was requested to get the legal descriptions for those properties so that they
can be added to the covenant.
MOTION by Spotts, seconded by Apel to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
