County planners approve subdivision maps and deny unusual camp plan
A 12 hour planning commission session approved two tentative subdivision maps southeast of Fort Bragg, including Johnson and Redwood Springs No. 4, both with conditions on water supply and bog dedication. An unusual camp proposal by Philip Sharples for a primitive 100 acre site near Mendocino was unanimously denied due to toilet facilities concerns. A mobile home park permit for Mark C. Clark on Comptche-Little River Road was approved with a requirement for a detailed plan prior to opening.
