Deer Run Subdivision in Beulah: How did 50' Lots Get Approved?

A series of events began back in 2007-2008 that control and delineate what size lots will be allowed to be constructed at Deer Run in Beulah.  Read the facts below....

A legitimate question was raised by a citizen regarding the 50' lot widths allowed in various locations within the currently-under construction Beulah Subdivision known as Deer Run.

"How could this happen when the 50' lot widths do not meet the current code?" was the essence of the question from this individual.

So I asked staff to research this and they have provided the chronology of how this happened and the legitimate reasons why this occurred.

Some believe that I personally am responsible for all the growth out in Beulah.  Some that are really completely and totally out of touch with reality espouse the fiction that 5000 homes have been built in Beulah in the last 2-3 years "Since Bergosh was elected commissioner."  Of course this is not true.  The truth is the lion's share of the development that we are all now living with out here in Beulah (because I live here too, since 2004)--- was approved before my tenure on this board began in late 2016.

These 50' lots in Beulah at Deer Run are a great example.

Look at staff's chronology of the events that led to this approval, much of which took place more than a decade ago.....
