            Subdivision Ordinance Hearing 10:00 a.m. as advertised.  Effective date of ordinance including fees will be October 1, 2010.  Hearing will be extended until 11:30 a.m. due to notice on Web Page listed as 10:30 a.m. instead of 10:00 a.m.    Correct time was listed on the doors of the courthouse and the Idaho County Free Press and sent out correctly to all agenda users.

            Hunter discussed parcel of land – lot vs. parcel. 

            Skip made motion to adopt Ordinance #59 with corrections made as discussed during the hearing with a repeal clause that would repeal  Ordinance #7 and Ordinance #20 at the effective date.
