Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on a legislative bill sponsored by Sen. Marge Kilkelly, D-Lincoln, that would eliminate a subdivision regulation exemption that allows land to be subdivided into lots of 40 acres or more without review. The bill, which is supported by environmentalists and the Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC), was originally intended to allow transfers of land for forestry purposes. But forest liquidators such as Patten Corp., McPherson Timberlands and H. C. Haynes have found it to be a lucrative loophole to avoid review by LURC.
