Developers planned 12,000 square foot lots with homes valued 200 000 to 400 000, while residents urged caution until a traffic study is completed.

Rule debated at hearing on county home rule powers
At a Tuesday hearing four commissioners must vote for a referendum by December 20 to pursue code home rule. Commissioner John L Thompson Jr and Ilona Hogan have pushed for it, seeking authority to introduce legislation in the 45 day session and to bring powers back to the local level. The plan would allow a 3 percent hotel tax and a .5 percent transfer tax on recorded documents, with bond limits and debt controls also in play while the delegation could veto excessive borrowing.
