| | | Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts and resolves of the Legislature do | | not become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless | | enacted as emergencies; and |
|
| | | Whereas, the characteristics of land ownership and patterns of | | development in the unorganized territories are changing at a | | rapid rate, and the development pressures associated with those | | changes are increasingly similar to those in organized areas of | | the State; and |
|
| | | Whereas, current occurring fragmentation of land ownership in | | the unorganized territories is resulting in more landowners | | holding smaller parcels of land accompanied by increased | | construction of residential and other development; and |
|
| | | Whereas, major development proposals by large landowners in the | | unorganized territories are occurring at a significant rate; and |
|
| | | Whereas, the cost of providing basic government services such as | | fire protection for structures and forest lands and land use | | regulation is not always related to the size of land holdings, | | and the changes in ownership and development patterns result in | | an unequal demand and cost of providing services throughout the | | unorganized territories; and |
