Knnx Huntsman Ensconced in their chambers during a public hearing Mar 18 the Millard County Commission listened to their constituents' opinions on the final draft of a new county zoning ordinance Approximately 60 county residents were there to share their thoughts and offer suggestions on the draft ordinance Some were supportive some asked questions and some were not supportive The primary issue of the proposed dinance was the amount of acreage quired to build a home in the county Towns and cities are not affected by the proposed ordinance The new proposal would require a minimum of 40 acres for land zoned as agriculture and 20 acres for land zoned as range and forest “These numbers were derived from put from farmers ranchers and land owners in the county during previous meetings Farmers were concerned that new housing was encroaching on their farms and livelihood and they want some form of ordinance that will protect their property" said Commissioner John Cooper The meeting opened with computer slides and a detailed briefing on the proposed ordinance by Leon Smith Millard County Planning and Zoning Administrator Smith said the current five acre minimum zoning requirement for house construction w ill be honored and allow ed until 91 No 37 Water Users Association Kathy H alker Being involved in the local political process is possible for residents at the grassroots

foundation of the General Plan From that foundation the planning commission has worked hard to come up w ith something that meets the requirements of the General Plan and balances the rights of all property owners That is not an easy task but believe the planning commission hav e donejust that" said Smith Attendee comments ranged from being with new zoning to thinkin full agreement ing 40 acres to built on w as a bit much "Thirty years ago we couldn't get Nowyouare pcopletolivcinSugarviIle limiting the number of people 40 acres to build a house on is ridiculous" said one resident “I don't think the proposal is constitutional banks and lending agencies will not lend money on a house built on 40 acres" said another Commissioner LaVar Cox said he and the other commissioners will study the
