Newton Recycling Center - Agricultural Lot-Split - 001039 - Waiver Request to County MSBU

This item concerns a proposed agricultural lot split for the Newton Recycling Center, located at Parcel ID 12844-000-01. The applicant, Kimley-Horn and Associates, is requesting a waiver from the requirement to establish a County MSBU (Municipal Service Benefit Unit) for the maintenance of improvements related to this division.
