P and Z Approves Interim Zoning for Sandpoint Club
Banner County Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval Thursday of an interim zoning ordinance with major subdivision rule changes and sent it to county commissioners for final action. The panel also favorably endorsed a conditional use permit for a Sandpoint athletic club on a 2.5 acre site off North Boyer, behind North Country Bicycle and Ski Shop, open to members and the public. Browne, owner, outlined first phase facilities and noted fence and landscaping plans to curb traffic and noise amid limited public opposition. A six unit trailer park near Hope received preliminary approval after nearby property owners raised water well contamination fears.
