Subdivision Rules Topic Of Hearing

From Staff Reports

A proposal for tightening the rules for subdividing land in Kootenai County will be discussed in a public hearing Monday.

The Board of County Commissioners is considering eliminating regulations that allow landowners to split their property once without any oversight. The new subdivision ordinance also would require the county to approve any subdivision that would create parcels 20 acres in size or smaller.

County officials say the new rules would protect buyers by making sure the subdivisions meet minimum zoning requirements for home construction. Critics find the proposal too weak.

The hearing begins at 4 p.m. in the Lake City Junior Academy, 111 Locust Ave., in Coeur d’Alene. , DataTimes
