Despite the particular ag zoning, one property may be built on the home now.
"We're likely to make this steady with the stores on the west," which often are usually upon three acres, explained Jeremy Heidemann, Osborn's son-in-law. "We'd end up being adding two taxpaying houses in case all of us separated it."
County zoning public Shane Graham known the particular Planning plus Zoning Commission unanimously suggested denying the actual zoning alter due to higher agricultural creation worth of the particular land, which is at this time expanding crops, and the loss of other residential improvement nearby.
