Summary

Adams County Planning and Zoning Committee approved a request to rezone 5 acres to allow a recreational cabin; the town of Colburn objected and the rezone will be considered by the full county board on Oct. 14.

The Adams County Planning and Zoning Committee approved a rezoning request from Chasing Whitetails LLC that would withdraw 5 acres from the county’s Non-Farmed Land (NFL) program to permit a recreational cabin, leaving the remaining acreage in the NFL program. The committee voted in favor and referred the matter to the full county board for final action on Oct. 14.

Owner Christopher Soltz told the committee he intends to keep the majority of his land in the NFL program and only withdraw the minimum acreage necessary to site a private recreational cabin. "I'm just trying to keep as much acreage in the NFL program as possible," Soltz said.

Dusty reported the town of Colburn filed a participation form objecting to the rezoning at its August meeting. The committee considered that objection but moved to recommend approval to the county board.

Jerry moved to approve the rezoning recommendation; Don seconded the motion. The committee’s roll-call vote was unanimous in favor in committee; the full county board will review the request at its Oct. 14 meeting.
