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.
