Subdivision Rules Tightened by County Planning in 1974
The 1974 summary shows the Planning and Zoning Commission imposing stricter subdivision requirements, a two month moratorium that drew realtor opposition, and few final plats approved. Three final plats were approved in 1973 with bonds, while 1974 saw 22 of 24 conditional use permits approved. A November 1973 moratorium was lifted after opposition, and land negotiations with Dale Thisted could yield a school site near Blanchard.
