Thursday’s public hearing on the 2050 Plan began as did the two before it – with an in-depth discussion of a particular part of the document, in Thursday’s case the “compact communities” and higher-density zoning areas planned for the western part of the county. But an hour later, when the floor was opened to questions from the public, the refrain was familiar – residents don’t like the 20-acre minimum lot sizes in the eastern and far northern and southern areas of the county. They don’t think the “transferrable development rights” concept will work, with no guarantee of a market.
