Red face County Forclosed On My Options

Hey everyone...


OK I am ready to cause some real grief for the county.

In about 1992 the county came to us and told us they were changing the zoning in the area I live in from A-7 (Agricultural 7 acres or more) to GRR. GRR is "General Rural Residential"

We were told that "Noting will change except the term."

Well in October I learned from a county engineer at the Regional Planning Update that the reason they changed the zoning was to prevent us from getting a zoning variance to subdivide. Most of us moved where I live for lifestyle and for the opportunity to subdivide our 40 acres.

When the county changed us from ag. to a land use designation all of our options that were in place when I got this property went away and all sorts of development codes have been forced on us.

This is a taking without just compensation. Also the county claims they put a notice in the paper so their "taking" stands.

It is my opinion and MANY others, that this waas not proper notification to each and every homeowner/property owner as many of us do not bother to read the local rag. I believe this because there is NO DEFAULT or PUBLIC GOOD involved.

I need some help with "takings" on this type of action by the county. There may not be too much on this but I am open to all opinions and cases any of you may know about to get me started.

Thank you all

Kitchie

Well the county
