Illegal land splits spark county zoning clash south of Fort Bragg
Thirty residents on Mill Creek Road protested at the county planning commission after receiving notices of violation for unapproved parcels. The case centers on two elderly brothers who began selling forty acre plots in 1963, risking 26 homeowners with clouded titles and the potential for many more. The board ordered withdrawal of notices and a survey plan while amnesty discussions with the board of supervisors were urged.
