Richardson County Board discusses flood insurance program and zoning

(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners discussed the National Flood Insurance Program and the possibility of Richardson County withdrawing from the program when they met January 20.

County Attorney Samantha Scheitel recommended the Board schedule a specific date and time to hold a hearing to receive public comments in support of or opposition to possibly withdrawing from the program.

A tentative date has been set for Wednesday, February 11.

Commissioner Bobby Campbell requested during the meeting that time be allowed on the agenda to discuss zoning for Richardson County.

Campbell said “that in good faith' he just can't support it and he is against putting zoning regulations on any of his constituents in District 2.”

Commissioners discussed the current project with developing a new comprehensive plan and the possibility of the development of zoning regulations. A number of people were in attendance at the meeting and the majority were in opposition to implementing zoning regulations.

During the Wednesday, January 28 Commissioners meeting, the Board will consider termination of the contract for the development of a comprehensive plan and zoning regulations with Marvin Planning Consultants.
