County Rezoning

May 11, 2010

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone County Board of Supervisors have approved a second consideration to rezone a small parcel of property near the Ledges State Park to allow a minor subdivision. The 14-acres was acquired by E. P. Frazier, Inc. with plans to split off a couple of lots for development. Because the property is considered environmentally fragile, the County Zoning Commission recommended using a Conservation Overlay District which is meant to protect the property, while allowing development. The property is adjacent to the Deer Run Subdivision and the possible location of a new home to an existing structure is raising some concerns.
