[Vision2020] Emergency ordinance information

[london at moscow.com]

As many of you know, the Latah County Board of Commissioners adopted an
emergency land use ordinance March 2, 2005 titled "Moscow Sub-basin
Groundwater Management Overlay Zone".  Following the adoption of this
emergency ordinance, the Board appointed a 7 member taskforce, representing
a variety of backgrounds and interests, to develop a permanent ordinance. 

This taskforce has formulated a rough pre-draft of the ordinance and wants
to receive public comment on this draft before formulating a rough draft
that will be forwarded to the Planning Commission and, eventually, the Board
of County Commissioners for public hearings.

This document, and the associated map, can be located at:
http://www.latah.id.us/    To get to the ordinance and the map, scroll down
a bit and two links titled "Draft Land Use Ordinance for the Moscow
Sub-basin Region" and "Proposed Moscow Sub-basin Area, including the
watershed/hydrology (HUCS), the areas with exposed bedrock, and the areas
between 2700-2900 feet in elevation showing steam locations" are located at
the bottom of a gray box titled "Commissioners Enact Emergency Land Use
Ordinance".  Click on those links to see the document and map.

To submit comments, send an e-mail to pb at latah.id.us or write to the task
force at:  Latah County Taskforce, Department of Planning and Building, P.O.
Box 8068, Moscow, Idaho, 83843.  If you have questions, call the Planning
and Building Department at 883-7220.  Comments are welcome at anytime,
however, submission of comments prior to June 13th, 2005 would be very
helpful in the development of this ordinance.

The next scheduled meeting for the taskforce is Monday, June 13th, 2005, in
Room 2-B of the Latah County Courthouse.
