The purpose of the meeting will be to consider a <br />proposal to adopt an interim ordinance (moratorium) on zone changes, neTM residential subdivisions, <br />and feedlot permits in the rural I~..rtions~f Sherbume County. The Conunissioners will listen to the <br />comments and opinions of the public relating to these issues, and will also accept written comments. <br /> <br />Sherburne County is currently the fastest growing county in Minnesota. <br /> <br />The purpose of a moratorium is to allow time for citizen participation and input in the formulation <br />of regulations, and time for serious deliberation by town boards and the County Commissioners. <br />The moratorium will not stop construction of homes on lots already approved, nor will the proposal <br />affect issuance of building permits. The county has a significant inventory of vacant lots already <br />approved for building purposes during the moratorium. <br /> <br />The proposal would allow splits of large tracts (20 and 40 acre parcels) to proceed. It would also <br />allow one and two lot subdivisions, sdch as parents splitting off a lot for their daughter or son, to <br />continue. <br /> <br /> <br />
