… or, as a science-fiction story!
The year was 2024, and the County of Humboldt was buzzing with excitement over the latest proposal brought before the Planning Commission. Tawnya Morris had submitted a request for a two-year extension of a previously approved Parcel Map Subdivision in the Indianola area. The project aimed to divide an approximately 5.27-acre parcel into two smaller parcels for future residential development. The subdivision would require the installation of individual on-site waste treatment systems for sewage disposal and utilize an existing well on an adjacent property as the water source.
As the Planning Commission gathered to discuss the extension, little did they know that this seemingly ordinary project would soon lead to a series of extraordinary events. As the resolution was adopted and the extension approved, a strange energy seemed to emanate from the newly divided parcels.
Unbeknownst to anyone present, the land on which the subdivision was taking place held a secret. Buried deep beneath the surface was a long-dormant alien spacecraft, waiting to be awakened. As construction began on the newly divided parcels, the alien technology began to stir, sending out signals into the cosmos.
One fateful night, a beam of light shot down from the sky, illuminating the newly developed subdivision. Residents reported strange sightings and unexplained phenomena. It soon became clear that the alien spacecraft buried beneath the land had been activated and was now communicating with its home planet.
As the situation escalated, the government became involved, sending in teams of scientists and military personnel to investigate. The truth of the alien spacecraft buried beneath the land was finally revealed, and the fate of the entire county hung in the balance.
The Planning Commission’s decision to approve the subdivision extension had unwittingly opened a gateway to an interstellar adventure. As the alien spacecraft prepared to take off, leaving Earth behind, the residents of Humboldt County watched in awe and fear.
And so, the story of the Tawnya Morris Parcel Map Subdivision Extension became a legend in the annals of science fiction, forever remembered as the moment when a simple planning decision led to a cosmic encounter of epic proportions.
