There’s no desire among proponents or opponents of the proposed city of Golden to see their rural lifestyle change. How they achieve that objective is the sticking point. Jim Kaup, a Topeka attorney who specializes in land use law, provided that assessment of the proposed incorporation of Golden in northern Miami County during the County Commission’s first Golden testimony session Wednesday, Aug. 4. County commissioners will hear experts weigh in on a number of topics during their Wednesday morning study sessions through early September as part of the testimony phase before they begin their deliberations. … “A couple of quick things that really struck me in going through all this material — in my observation, there’s virtually no desire by proponents or opponents to see the rural landscape converted to warehouses,” Kaup said. “They value the rural character, the rural nature of the area. Rural residential and lots of agriculture.”
