NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING    NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Bonner County Commissioners will hold a public hearing at 10:00 AM on Thursday, August 20, 2026, in the Bonner County administration Building, 1500 Highway 2, Sandpoint, Idaho, by Zoom teleconference, and YouTube Livestream to consider the following request:    Files S0003-25 – Yoman Bluffs – Subdivision: Request for a subdivision for twelve (12) residential lots and one (1) open space tract. The proposal is ±38.27 acres. The property is zoned Recreation. The project is located off Sherwood Beach Road in Section 10 Township 59 North, Range 4 West, Boise-Meridian. The Zoning Commission, at the December 18, 2025, public hearing recommended approval of this project to the Board of County Commissioners.
