agriculture on the regions official plan requiring council to pass an amendment about 45 acres are set aside as hazard land on the plan presently the land is being used for corn crops and cattle grazing we would plan to develop the area in keeping with these uses the land would be ideal for families who would want to do some mixed farming to supplement their incomes said rimon mayor gary herrema called the plan commonsense but said he couldnt support it i am familiar with the land because ive walked it winter and summer with the intensive agriculture there i just cant see how urbanization would be compatible with the area he said the mayor added he may be a little selfish because he lives north of the proposed development but he would prefer to see homes built closer to town so services such as water sewage and fire emergency calls would be easily accomodated he said the committee is trying to retain land in former scott township as agriculturallyoriented there are many other estate residential subdivisionl already on our books that w have to deal with he said chairman maustyn mcknigh agreed with the mayor sayinjj its good land and we want i keep it that way
