That issue <br /> was resolved on June 26, 1995, when the Board of <br /> Commissioners included the strip to the EDD and <br /> designated it as Primary Overlay Area. <br /> A second issue concerned two properties which are <br /> located only partially within the EDD. One of <br /> those properties is also split by the boundary <br /> between Primary and Secondary Development Area. <br /> • Hugh Moren, Jr. owns an 87-acre tract located in <br /> the northernmost portion of the northeast <br /> quadrant of the EDD. Almost all of the Moren <br /> property was included in the EDD, with exception <br /> of a small area containing about four acres <br />
