>> Dear Arrowhead neighbors,
>>
>> Last night the Board of County Commissioners voted to bring
>> our neighborhood into compliance with the 2030
>> Comprehensive Plan. We are now zoned RR, which in our tier
>> means one house per two acres. This is effective
>> immediately. Becky Heron recused herself from the public
>> hearing, discussion, and vote.
>>
>> Any existing lot which is smaller than two acres is still
>> buildable (if a suitable well and septic site and road
>> access, etc. is available) as a "legal, non-conforming
>> lot."
>>
>> Thanks,
>>
>> Happy Sayre McCord
