Oregon

We had our second county hearing on our land, measure 37, to be able to sell 5 acre lots. The county passed it ok. So now we have to go to the State and ask permission to sell our land in 5 acre lots. Thought it was our land, and we should be able to do with it what we want. Oh well we will jump through their hoops (again) and do what we must to get the state to say it's ok.
Right now it's farm and/or forest land. We raise beef cattle, and have planted fir trees, but it really is not good for planting farm crops.
In the 40's there was a limestone quary here. Most of the top soil has been scraped off to find more limestone.
So we have limestone and a good supply of water. We have a well that gives us 180+ gallons a minute. Should we be able to sell 5 acre lots we should also be able to supply water to those homes. The limestone -- I have no idea of what we can do with it, at this time.
I love my home, I love Oregon (in the summer time) but this was to be my husbands retirement. Now we have to wait ans see what the state will say about our land.
