NOTICE: We inadvertently mailed notices dated February 22, 1999, to owners of certain unzoned properties, advising them their property was in a zoned classification. We ask, if you received one of these notices, you disregard it and accept our apologies for any inconvenience and/or confusion.

Owners of unzoned property should also receive a survey in the mail. Please do NOT disregard this. We value your opinion and ask that you complete and return the survey in a timely fashion. Thank you.


These materials are intended to provide background information and the latest status concerning the ongoing process that is expected to culminate in the presentation of a Zoning Plan to the Board of County Commissioners for their consideration on March 25, 1999. Please be aware that some of this information is extremely dynamic in nature, because the Zoning Plan is continually being revised and fleshed out throughout the process. As new or revised materials are prepared, they will be posted. Interested parties are encouraged to check back every few days. Please also note that this site will not be used as a forum for the opinions or organizational activities of individuals or groups either in favor of or against zoning.

Eastern County Working Committee

This Committee was originally organized by Commissioner Betty Beedy and consists of approximately 10 members who are generally against zoning in any form and 10 who are in favor of some form of zoning. All members are eastern County residents. Mr. Jimmie Brewer chairs the pro-zoning sub-committee and Mr.Vance Forepaugh chairs the anti-zoning subcommittee. The moderator for the overall Committee is Mr. Ed Rankin who has pledged to remain neutral throughout the process. The County does not formally sanction this Committee, but staffs from the Planning and Regional Building Departments are attending all meetings and actively seeking the input of the group. Between now and February 8th, the sub-committees are meeting independently and their chairpersons may meet together with County staff.
