"An ammendment to the constitution to give zoning power to this county's commission was soundly defeated a couple of years ago."Aye! That's because we Alabama voters know far, far better than to give such power to our petty bureaucrats.

Actions that you have described are why I left the Democratic Peoples Republic of Madison County Alabama years ago to deal in real estate as I feel is appropriate to my and my familie's desires and needs.

The main problem for the gov't is that legal access, dedicated roads, need to be provided to all lots, parcels, subdivisions. This is a hugh problem in the West, and in particular in Alaska. The platting authority ensures that roads are dedicated. Easements do not suffice since they involve dual ownership--public and private combined. Since the theory of the modern state has not been fully developed, most public officials do not understand this necessity, and private persons often enough get by until a fateful day when they find they have no legal access.
Land use zoning is a farce the way it is implemented, and probably should be up to the land owners since gov't cannot enforce it uniformly but only in a few specific cases where gov't can acquire ownership themselves.
