DISCUSSION & POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING HALL COUNTY RURAL ZONING - Quandt stated that he would like to see a committee set up to look at the rural zoning in Hall County. We now have a building inspector and the State is in charge of the septic system inspections. He would like to look at surrounding counties and address economic development in rural Hall County. We need the additional growth and to address what is going to happen in the future. Cindy Johnson and Chad Nabity have heard some concerns regarding this. Lancaster said she has not been contacted regarding this but if we want to maintain a tax base and not increase the tax asking we need to look at opportunities to grow business and look at the possibilities. The truck wash is needed but where. Lanfear stated he wanted to hear from Chad Nabity. Mr. Nabity stated that this was done in 2003 and 2004 and it is time to update the Comprehensive Plan. At that time they did 6 plans for the small towns and Grand Island and Hall County. They updated the zoning regulations and they need to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The zoning regulations are a tool. You want to protect ag areas for ag uses so you limit the ability to build house to eliminate conflicts. 7
