The Douglas County Commission at its meeting Wednesday will consider allowing two rural landowners to convert their 25 acres of land into residential lots. According to planning documents provided to the County Commission, property owners Patrick Halpin and Erin Callahan-Halpin are asking for permission to divide the land into up to five residential lots. The land is located at 981 East 1549 Road, roughly 3 miles south of Lawrence. To allow for the subdivision, the commissioners would need to rezone the land to cluster preservation, a zoning designation that allows nonagricultural residential development. Currently the land consists of two parcels; one is zoned as agricultural, or AG-1, and the other is zoned as transitional agricultural, or AG-2.
