MontanaLocal officials would hold public meetings for exempt land divisions
The failed proposal would require public meetings, mailed notices, and sworn statements for land divisions covered by exemptions from subdivision review.
What it does
Local officials would hold public meetings for covered land divisions. Adjoining property owners and water users sharing the same source within the same subbasin would receive advance mailed notice.
People seeking to divide land under these exemptions would sign a sworn statement that they are not using the exemption to get around subdivision rules.
Argument forAdvance notices could help adjoining owners and people sharing a water source learn about proposed land divisions before a public meeting.
Argument againstArranging public meetings and sending registered or certified mail notices could add work for local officials handling covered land divisions.
More detail
Local officials would hold a public meeting about covered land divisions. Notice would go to owners of immediately adjoining property and water users sharing the same water source in the same subbasin, a part of a watershed. Officials would send notices by registered or certified mail. Officials would provide notice at least 15 days before the hearing.
People seeking to divide land would sign an affidavit, a sworn written statement. This requirement would cover people seeking to divide land under the section's exemptions. The statement would affirm that the exemption is not being used to get around subdivision rules.
