The county wants to remove a decades-old 100-foot no-cut buffer along Cox Road at the Huntingtown park so it can pave and expand the parking lot, fix stormwater and add ADA access. The 35-foot setback stays, but final action waits 10 days after the hearing.

Parks & Recreation wants the 100-foot buffer cut to 35 feet so it can pave the parking lot, fix stormwater that's threatening the lower ball field, and improve ADA access. The commission backed the change, which now goes to the County Commissioners with a single public hearing.
