Supervisors approve zoning ordinance amendment No. 34 and waive third reading

The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors opened a public hearing Aug. 19 on an amendment to the county zoning code identified in the meeting as Ordinance No. 34, heard no public comments and voted to approve the measure while waiving the third reading. Following the hearing the board member moved to approve “showing the ordinance number 34 and to waive the third remaining.” The motion passed on a roll-call vote with Supervisors Tom Broker, Shane McCampbell and Jim Caron recording “yes” votes during the meeting’s roll call. The public hearing was opened and closed during the meeting with no members of the public speaking on the amendment. No further details about the ordinance text were stated on the record during the hearing; county staff earlier indicated prior review and public notice had been completed. The board did not attach additional conditions on approval during the session.
