Public hearing scheduled for proposed subdivision

The Bannock County Planning and Zoning Council will be holding a public hearing Wednesday for the proposed Deer Valley Reserve subdivision.

The subdivision would subdivide 67.35 acres into 17 lots, 13 of which would be residential. It would be located in the Mink Creek area.

The original public hearing was scheduled for mid-July, but since too many people showed up the council decided to push it back.

Bannock County Planning and Zoning has heard a number of complaints about the subdivision.

“The primary concerns that we’re seeing from the public are water quality and water quantity,” said Devin Hillam, planning director for Planning and Zoning. “The rest deal with wildlife concerns and having a subdivision in their backyard.”

The public hearing begins at 6:30 p.m. at the County Commissioners’ Chambers inside the Bannock County Courthouse.
