Please pardon this one-time message to listserv members who reside or own 
land in Story County.  

The Story County Land Development Regulations are now being revised 
significantly.  (This is a different document than the Ames Land Use Policy Plan and 
the Fringe Area Plan.)  The new Regulations will be a large influence in 
determining where and how development and subdivisions take place in all the 
unincorporated areas of Story County in the future.  

The public comment period will soon begin.  Issues include low-impact 
development options, required open space set-asides, natural area protection, and 
mitigation when natural areas are damaged by development.    

If you are interested in learning more, please email me off-list.  Thank you.

"Wolves were howling in different directions this evening after we had 
encamped, and the barking of the little prairie wolves resembled those of our Common 
Small Dogs."  (William Clark)
