Dave, I feel your pain. I'm about an hour west of Chicago, and the burbs feel like they're creeping closer every day. I don't know what the official definition of "outlot" is, but I *thought* an outlot was a piece of land close to a road that was slated to become some sort of retail, like a strip mall or something.

You can complain all you want at your local board meetings, but it sounds like its falling on deaf ears. You gotta fight fire with fire. Talk to the state EPA, the local farm bureau, the local division of natural resources, etc. Get smart on the laws, regulations, and restrictions on builders. If you can find somewhere where the developers are breaking the law, get the requisite government agency (MN EPA, MN DnR, whatever) on the phone and see if you can get them involved. If phoning around doesn’t get you anywhere, drop by their offices. Usually, it seems like the guy who knows the most about the rules and laws wins.
