Rural development changes eyed for agricultural lots and minor plats
Douglas County commissioners weigh removing five acre exemptions and redefine agricultural lot splits. A landowner with 40 acres could sell five without platting and develop the remaining 35 via a minor plat allowing one to four lots served by a public road with notice and a six acre minimum. Public hearing and county approval likely.
