Fellow Chattooga County Citizens, 

 I want to give my official position on the Land Development Ordinance. 

Our county needs to implement a high-density residential housing land ordinance. This means if you were looking to develop an actual high-density subdivision, the local county government should have a set of guidelines and stipulations for such developments. 

 However, I see the newly adopted ordinance as a device that lets the land commission have control over the division of our land. I cannot support legislation that gives five un-elected citizens the ability to tell landowners how they can divide their property!  

Thank You for your time, 

Andy Allen
