Clermont study finds poor zoning and subdivision rules
A county study criticizes Clermont zoning as lacking a planning foundation with many decisions reactive to market demands. It notes 15 000 acres have been rezoned since adoption, mostly by private initiative, and calls for comprehensive policy goals. The report highlights weak evaluation of impacts and environmental standards. A planning commission meeting tonight at 7 30 p m in Batavia Municipal Building will discuss Phase 1 findings and invite citizen input.

County road paving plan trimmed for budget limits
County Engineer Walter Carter presented a 1976 preliminary paving plan to the county commissioners after reviewing Clermont road conditions. The list was scaled back to priority jobs due to a tight budget, with total repairs estimated at about 600,000 dollars originally and 266,400 dollars for 11 roads in the revised plan. The longest stretches include Loveland Miamiville, Belfast Owensville, Clermontville Laurel and Lindale Mt Holly, with several smaller segments totaling 1.6 miles or less and bids expected by mid May.
