Kurt Mortenson is an attorney, but likely didn’t take the time to proofread a major new ordinance. I asked him in the hearing video if he read it, and his answer was “why?” Mortenson put the ordinance to vote and voted for it based on the advice of the author, Land & Resource Management Director Chris LeClair, who made numerous spelling and grammatical errors.
I believe basic writing skills should be a qualifying factor in approval to author law, and the definition of a fool is one who gives ignorant approval.
Here are some obvious spelling and grammatical errors:
Include all contiguous land owned or controlled by the develop;.
COMPLETION AND MAINTENANCE OF IIMPROVEMENTS
“offer, sale, ore development whether immediate or future, either on the installment plan or upon any and all other plans, terms, and conditions. Subdivision includes the division ore development of residentially“
“No owner or agent of the owner shall transfer or sell any part of a lot or parcel of land” -Does this mean part of a lot or part of a parcel, or is the intent to control every parcel of land sale? Because that is Communism.
