Over their objections, the University of California's Sedgwick Reserve, Midland School and a smattering of ranches would be included within the boundaries of the proposed Mission County rather than remain in Santa Barbara County.
That was the decision Monday of the Mission County Formation Review Commission, the five-member panel charged with determining a variety of legal, financial and logistical matters involving the potential county.
The commission considered requests from 14 property owners with parcels contiguous to, or bisected by, the boundary of Mission County -- which is essentially the entire North County. Those were the only requests received from the approximately 135 parcel owners along the boundaries.
Some landowners asked that their property be attached to Mission County if voters ultimately approve creating it in a March 2006 ballot. Others sought allegiance with what would remain of Santa Barbara County.
