Sabine Canyon Road zoning hearing stirs 700-lot plan
Residents clashed at a public zoning hearing over a proposed 600 to 700 lot subdivision along Sabine Canyon road. Marvin Kratter and Frank A. Weisman pushed to rezone two large acreages to CR districts for half-acre homes with a park, while opponents led by C. John Klimback and Richard Fish urged caution. The session, meant to satisfy state law, drew 40 to 60 attendees, with adjournment leaving about 30. The planning commission may OK the ordinance next, sending it to the supervisors for final hearings and a 90 day waiting period before it takes effect.
