A public hearing had been held by the commission on Dec. 6 which was attended by eight people, not including the county commission and county clerkauditor.

"The change was slight, A planning commission that all tillable acreage in the Agriculture Zone should be treated the same. "The acreage in Dog Valley should Je changed to he uniform with the acreage on Levan Ridge, for example." said ( ireenhalgh. At the public hearing, Larry Anderson said he agreed with the proposal but wondered why section 26 was not included. "I own most of section 26 and I would ak for it to be added to the proposal." he said. After taking Anderson's request under advisement, change were made to the zone change proposal. That change, which did include section 26, was approved by vote of the commission on Monday and is no part of the zone. At the hearing, Troy Rindlishacher asked if there was a reason that acreage in Ferner Valley was not included. Jim McWilliams, chairman of the county planning commission, told him that there could possibly be some acreage in Ferner and also some acreage in Sage Valley, near Eureka, which could be to match the agricultural zone of the county. "These areas were not con- sidered at this time, but could be considered at a later date, said McWilliams. "The planning commission recommended the change because they see no reason one part of the county should be treated differently than any other," said Greenhalgh. The zone change recommendation takes the property in question from GMRF-6to 0 Maps are available at my office for those who have an interest in the change," said Greenhalgh.
