The Morton County Commission looks at the location of a moratorium on development for all east of Highway 25 may be up to the full planning land use.
Tuesday, the Landkreis meeting, the auditors Paul Trauger said that the Planning and Zoning Commission presented its goals and objectives, as adopted by the plan for land use.
“But we have not chosen, because this day is a day,” said Trauger, who is a member of the planning and land use. “I looked on the deployment plan, and it was recently updated in the year 1984. We never achieve these goals. We must decide if we want to achieve these objectives or have different objectives. ”
One of the main objectives of the plan is to ensure the protection of agricultural properties, said Trauger. But residential development could move forward without the plan, which makes it even more difficult for its feedlots and other related development.
“There are certain rules on sub-divisions, and each time we have a residential development, we feedlots further,” said Commissioner Mark Bitz. “If we want the protection of agriculture or slip further, we have to decide.”
Planning and zoning is underway with a subdivision of an area halfway between Mandan and New Salem. These are issues on the economy and, as regards the costs of the province.
The consensus of the planning and zoning, it is necessary that more multi-display subdivisions much simpler changes in the quantity.
“The biggest thing is certain, services? Do they have access to the highway department, the firefighters and police? “Trauger said.” So we must ask ourselves is the Landkreis cost more of taxpayers’ money, and as set from these developments? ”
The Commission approved a request to the planning and zoning, a hearing on the question of whether a moratorium should be used until the comprehensive plan is updated. A recommendation should be made to the County Commissioners concerning a moratorium.
Commissioner Andy Zach Meier, said the county was a study of land use in 1999 at a cost of nearly $ 50000.
“I have examined the collection and thought it had a number of good information. It must approve a moratorium until the plan of land use is maintained,” said Zach Meier. ” It is not true that we have paid for the poll, and it has never been followed. ”
Dick Tokach President of the Commission, said that one to two miles west of the river zonation resumed under the plan of land use, but I was not successful. He also said the planning and zoning should be accompanied by a recommendation for a moratorium of the Commission to act.
The Commission started Burleigh County update their comprehensive plan, there are more than a year, and a moratorium on development persists.

Zoning randomly along the Miami River, in conjunction with the abandonment of one of the current priorities of the maritime industry by the government of the city of Miami, which would affect more than companies and the flow of developers.
Removing prohibited marine industry for more housing and development along the river has its advantages and disadvantages, economists say, but at the end of interfering with the city of the base and the local economy .
Miami officials have, over the years during which changes in land use allows residential developments Pop-up along the river, in areas of the marine industry.
Administrators are now temporarily to the complete elimination of the city in the planning of the operation, the protection and promotion of the Port of Miami River - could be the most residential development.
If a subdivision under construction, it generates revenues for the government, but also the need for services, “said Manuel Lasaga, president and co-founder of Strategic Analysis, a local economy and the Minister of Finance of the company counselling.
Nevertheless, the new residents would undoubtedly spend their settlement cheque to the environment, an economic advantage.
“But commercial property hires, but also in humans, it creates jobs, wages, and they are then directly into the city’s economy,” he said. The city has carefully balanced the two . ”
Residential developments over tax revenue for the city as a business or industrial uses: more than $ 167 million to $ 65.2 million has in the industry, after an analysis of Michael Boudreaux, the city, director of strategic planning, budgeting and performance.
But economic studies show that the costs of providing services in residential areas, quickly empty pot, while the cities of money from the commercial and industrial space.
It costs a median duration of $ 1.15 per $ 1 of revenue, a community in the provision of public services, residential areas, but only 28 cents of Commerce and Industry-Service-areas, the ‘American Farmland Trust’s Cost of Community Services Studies.
Miami break-even to property and income taxes, service charges, Mr. Boudreaux analysis shows.
He could not determine exactly how much is spent in the home vs. commercial sectors, wrote in an e-mail, it is unable to provide “a high degree of accuracy.”
One expert said, economics, it believes that, if Mr. Boudreaux could separate residential and business spending, the figures show that losses for human habitation.
“On average, in the city of Miami, they lose money, housing,” predicted Jeffrey H. Dorfman, the author of the study “The impact of fiscal policy on countries Uses Local Government” and professor at the University of Georgia Department of Agricultural Economics AndÝApplied.
“For residential development, on average, does not pay for itself,” said Mr. Dorfman, who has studied the viability of land use on local governments throughout the Southeast, including in eight of the 10 counties of the fastest growing in the United States.
Industry-type things very good money because it is no different that few services, “he added, although it should be noted that large residential developments and expensive to afford themselves.
Mr. Dorfman has not analyzed, the city of Miami specifically, but encouraging residences, businesses, rather than along the river is probably not the greatest idea. ”
Their studies have shown that, in the north of Florida’s Leon County, the government has made 85 cents of every dollar in residential areas and $ 1.57 in the craft and industry.
In an analysis of 17 local governments, he discovered that all losing money for residential development 17.
Posted Stanley Geberer, align with Florida-based economic policy and financial advisory firms of the child Fish & Associates, “If we replace the commercial and industrial activities with residential development, we stifle job opportunities.”
Industry focuses on the river at least 6100 jobs on the spot, according to a study by the Economic-2005 Biscayne Bay. More than $ 4 billion in value of the cargo, and out of the river from $ 683 million a year and generate locally produced goods and services and $ 389 million in the income, the study shows .
But since 2003, the river has lost 50% of the maritime industry-residential zoning changes of land use, “said Francine Bohnsack, director of the Miami River Marine Group.
An appellate court recently issued by these three changes of land use, which indicates that these “small” changes in the vicinity of comprehensive plan, “if it as a whole, alter the character of the water Miami River.
The Court found that “such a division, arbitrary changes are not only wrong, they are contrary to the purposes and objectives of those who, together, working, and discuss how water Miami River” .
Schlampigkeit zoning March also to the economy, analysts warned.
The most important, “said Dr. Lasaga, east of the city, on a vision and follow them.
The key lies in the planning, agreed Economist Lewis Goodkin of Miami-based Goodkin Consulting.
The city needs an improved environment for the maritime industry and has an area of the house, he said, and stick to it - “Rather than anywhere zoning.
In a report from Dr. Dorfman’s Web site, he warned that “local governments must ensure balanced growth, as vast as the home of a ticket is some growth for the year in ruins. Or at least to a tax increase.”
Miami enough space for the industry and hard over recent boom allegedly behind residential zoning changes, Mr. Goodkin speculation.
“Miami has more opportunities for the industry than in other departments, and, therefore, probably one of the most important shipping has been given, we were able to rezone it is a another? ” He said.
However, the country beside the river is finally - marine company can not operate, and ways of industrial space - and the opportunities are less residential building.
Countries along the river, is what Mr. Goodkin calls a “secondary site” for apartment buildings.
“There are better sites, if you want a house high,” he said. “My feeling is that in a normal situation, a place like Miami River probably developed sooner than it would if we did not have this crazy.”
Well, “We must do what we can for her (industry),” he said. “There are many other Web sites available to the market.”
Ying beaches of this principle, the child Fish & Associates’ said Mr. Geberer, would have a widespread impact.
“To the extent that it only water, these companies may not have a place to walk, and it may also lost one shop,” he said. “It may include a total of economic activity of the community. ”
James Kohnstamm, director of the expansion / Retention / Recruitment & URBAN department Beacon Council, Miami-Dade County’s economic development arm, said his team is “local currently working on the development of different retention programmes and the Miami River. ”
River industry provides jobs for a skilled workforce, “he said,” the kind of workers that we want to keep employees in Miami. ”
However, the Council has failed to play the role of representing the interests, which means that the industry should not, most officials see Beaconsfield protest at the front of the housing.
“We are not a human rights group, but on the other hand we are fighting for our local economy,” said Kohnstamm. “Housing and Development, such as playing with room for ‘commercial use is a problem. I think our real goal is to our interest in the maintenance of the marine industry grew and prospered and developed along the river, understanding that the two can work together. “

GREENLAND - Residents should from the outset in the development of a vast area of plan allocation of Greenland, a regional planner said Tuesday night.
Celia Scott Silkwood, with the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission, a plan for planning the Greenland and representatives of members of the city council at the beginning of the transformation of the city zoning codes and land-use plan business.
“If you can, to the public of the nature and anyway, you have a good plan,” said Silkwood.
A country is a plan for the “roadmap” for the city, such as the leaders want to develop their city, “said Silkwood.
“You are not to rezone the whole city,” Silkwood said the group. “You’re going for a plan for the use of land by the city as a whole.”
The group began its work cut for it.
Greenland’s latest plan land use map is October 1985. This document is not only not to show, on a project for the country around Interstate 540, it does not even have the country on the map.
The group reached an agreement that the first goal should be the country after the work along Interstate 540 and along US 71 corridor, which passes through the center of town.
“There is not much you will be able to distinguish here (city hall) and the countries,” said Bill Yoes, the former mayor of Greenland.
The area between the United States-71 was developed primarily as a residential area.
Greenland also suffers from the lack of zoning limits. Currently, the only city on the areas of codes of commerce, agriculture, 1 and the residential-2.
“At this moment, we have only the ceiling commercial,” said Planning Commissioner Brenda Reynolds. “Among those Beauty Shop a rendezvous near a Truck Stop.
Silkwood said, the group at the beginning of the list of priorities, and it is to formulate a plan of work - the procedure for obtaining information and begin to implement the changes.
“I know that you all have a sense of urgency,” said Silkwood. “However, this will take some time. If you want the concentration on I-540, we can update of the comprehensive plan, starting with the high traffic areas rather than selection from the list next to the entire city. ”
Silkwood said, the group is the first stop for the amendment of the plan of land use. Then, she said, the Planning Commission and the city must go through their city codes and codes of planning land use.
This would also be additional and different zoning designations used allows each zone.
“We want the public, once we know how we are going about the process,” said Wayne Box, chairman of the Planning Commission.
The group, the consensus seems to be at the Interstate 540 and US-71, Box said.
“The rest may be gradually changing,” Box said.

In addition to changing the type of growth can occur in their country, landowners can also be added to their property, or from the central core of the county selected for development and public services.
The Planning Commission and supervisors rely heavily on land use, if labels weighing rezonings and use permits. Examples of land use are the limits of low density, residence or domicile of moderate density, which explains a lot of neighborhoods and James City, and a public area of the label, which, for most of the parks and Greenspace of space.
Limits on land use should not be confused with the zonings, which define more precisely what type of development as regards the lots, and other directives. In other words, zoning describes what the country can now, while land-use limitations are a long way towards the establishment, the property can be exploited in the future.

The fair ended FCC auction of 700 MHz spectrum key generated intense controversy in recent months, and more than its fair share of political power and the struggles of surprises.
The auction is possible because the FCC is still in the business of dissemination of this first piece of the spectrum, when companies recognize television in February 2009, that the transition to digital broadcasting is not complete.
The parameters for the ongoing debate on the nature and intensity of the circumstances it is appropriate to the auction, including proposals that some parts of this area who are bidders who agree to observe some key “open access / net neutrality “provisions. We know that the seizure of all the conditions of each auction can reduce their value, so that the burden should be on those who meet the conditions imposed to explain why they are necessary.
The conditions are against —
On this point sensitive to the clarity of the judgement of history is that the charge can not be overcome. The question is not here for the detailed specifications for the auction, but for this question: Why is it that all the spectrum is not only sold, without any conditions?
This proposal is, in fact, the reduction of the scale, a form of ownership which, in spite of their intangible nature, operates in the same way as the countries, at least in the context of rules of common law. These rules, the owner of the useful power to determine their use, and as long as there is no interference with the use, as other, and decide whether the use of the range of block intact or divide among others.
There is little doubt in my mind that this allocation system works best for the decisions of land use, regardless of the service reserved for zoning law, which are intended to adjust the relationship between packages , the key to tie the decisions of land use for long periods during Jacentes land use value remains untapped.
In virtually all cases, there are arguments arising from the use or sale of the land, within the framework of these rules is the law of negative externalities on the third. But the so-called external losses are never in comparison with the direct intervention of enormous losses resulting from the explicit conditions for the use in question.
Resuming Government
The same story has played with earlier versions of the range. In this modern age, it is difficult to keep in mind that, prior to state regulation, there has been some judicial authority, showing that the allocation of frequencies has been, quite rightly, common rules of Part One to occupy a certain frequency.
The first effort was ruled out by the aggressive intervention, the first of the US Department of Commerce (Herbert Hoover), and then the Federal Radio Commission emerge.
Both were premised on the dubious to believe that the administration of the allocation of frequencies higher than those of a bottom-up approach. The argument was that the scarcity of frequencies requires government shall develop rules, on which the correct response has been and remains that the shortage is not just a problem of scale. Everywhere, the ownership rules is the best way to become familiar with the shortage, because they promise, the fastest way for a voluntary market.
Some writers as Leo Herzl and Ronald Coase saw in the 1950, but believed that the world in another wisdom. The point of government action is not to paraphrase, Felix Frankfurter, namely the rules of the road, but also to determine the composition of traffic. The irony of broadcasting on the site was that the only way to keep a radio or television for the license was safe to rent, for the highest bid.
Limitations imprudent
It is fair to ask, and the quality of the FCC, with its various licensing models to the procedure for determining the composition of traffic. The answer to the dissemination is not very good.
Nobody knows who should receive, which the frequency, so that all originals procedures for the approval of the FCC featured people, local connections of their parades or services nonprofit for a license, and then sell them in an auction closed.
But the inability to lease, divide or modify the resource used widely held less than the value of what it should have been, for the initial licence or any subsequent purchaser.
For these purposes, the important thing is to note that technological ignorance is a virtue, not a weakness. At the moment, the best way to sell the bandwidth is to sell it, without any restrictions on use, including broadband, the bandwidth used. Let the bidding in an auction around the vacuum of evidence.
If the FCC plays the game, they also reduce market demand and social research value of the spectrum. The Bottom-Line: The FCC should not be opened / net in conditions of neutrality of the auction of 700 MHz.
Harmful regulations
It is, of course, an exception to this rule, which all too often wrong. In cases where a monopoly situation as regards high for a service, then the default rule for regulated industries - the use of terms reasonable and non-discriminatory - could be a good way to proceed.
Even in the case of pure monopoly, the real risk that the intelligent use of the regulatory process is more harmful than no regulation at all by asphyxiation long-term innovation, quickly move that corrections in the short term or imprudent unnecessary .
It follows that, if the mind is the exorcizés monopoly, as is the case for the telecommunications sector, the oldest, common law rules of ownership should dominate the game. They are much cheaper to operate, and they can react quickly to changes in demand and reduce costs.
Lesson for free —
The history of the telephone and telegraph teaches us at least one such lesson: The advance in the convergence of technology monopolies is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. In response to advocates of net-neutrality could gin few small distortion of competition. But the game will not be worth the candle, so the only alternative is massive distortion of regulation.
History often difficult to FCC rules should make clear that a simple common law, property rights approach is the best of all, in the long run. Whatever Google, AT & T, or someone else think it is a case in which the conditions less, the greater ownership rights.
It follows the progression following shall apply: no right to property, plus the return of spectrum auctions, and there are the long-term improvement of the welfare of consumers.
