Committee directs clerk to hold large wetland parcels for future mitigation
Summary
The committee directed the County Clerk to withhold sale of parcels acquired prior to 2022 that are at least 20 acres and have 75% or more wetlands, to preserve mitigation options. The motion passed at the June 30 meeting.
The Douglas County Land & Development Committee voted June 30 to hold sales of certain wetland-heavy parcels to preserve future wetland mitigation options.
Committee language specifies parcels acquired prior to 2022 with a minimum size of 20 acres and containing 75% or more wetlands will be held from sale. "Committee recommendation to hold parcels with a minimum of 20 acres that have 75% or more of wetlands for future wetland mitigation," the minutes record. Alan Jaques moved and the committee carried the directive to the County Clerk’s office to hold such parcels.
The action preserves land the committee identified as potential wetland mitigation capacity; the minutes record no immediate sale or transaction and no additional funding or timeline for mitigation work.
