Committee focuses on definitions as first step in drafting Vernon County land-division ordinance

The Chair opened the agenda item to review other counties' ordinances and asked members to focus first on goals and definitions rather than numeric thresholds. Several members said consistent definitions would reduce later disputes and ease administration. "We should start with land division and quit using the subdivision because I think that makes the same thing confusing," the Chair said, urging the committee to compare Monroe County's approach as a starting point.
