A developer is threatening to put a pig farm on his property in order to get the attention of the rezoning board.

Steve Nagel thinks that this ploy will get him further then his civil attempts to negotiate his property line.

"Now maybe when I go to negotiate with these people I'll get a little better response."

Nagel, an insurance agent, wants to build a professional building on his county land for his insurance company and a few other businesses. The County Commission denied the request because Rathdrum officials opposed the zoning change and would prefer to annex the land into the city so it could have sewer and water service.
