Public hearing March 5 in Sunny View by Leah Justice
Polk County commissioners are in the process of fixing an error in the mountainside and ridgeline protection ordinance
(MRPO) that currently prohibits mobile homes at elevations above 1,650 feet. Other amendments commissioners are considering in the MRPO are to change the definition of excavation to exclude the manual removal of earth and to
exempt from the land-disturbance regulations minor land-disturbing activities of 500 square feet or less for work such as residence additions, porches, decks or small accessory structures.
