Appeal denied for 3-lot split of 12-acre farm parcel in Elmore County
The Planning and Zoning Commission denied an appeal on June 18 of a county decision that barred a quick administrative process for dividing the parcel into three lots of about four acres each. The owner would need to go through the full subdivision process.

The application's description as it appears in Elmore County's record. See the official record
Daniel T. Whitted wants to split a roughly 12.24-acre agricultural parcel at 1751 N Big Foot Bar Road near Grand View into three parcels of about four acres each, so each brother can build a home. The county director denied using the simpler administrative process, so the landowner appealed to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Staff recommends denying the appeal, which would require the landowner to go through the full subdivision process.
