However, should uo- foreeeeo developments In the future remove this need or make such use impractical, the county could then determine other use for the property such as Branch Court, .Branch Probation and-or satellite county offices," Skinner said. He suggested that for such an ap­ proach, it would be necessary for the county board to approve such a referendum by Sept. 3, so it could be placed on the Nov. 2 ballot. The property in question Is sbout one acre with a 27-car parking lot.
