BISTLINE, Justice,
concurring.
As with the plaintiff in Dawson Enterprises, Inc. v. Blaine County, 98 Idaho 506, 567 P.2d 1257 (1977), the plaintiff here appears to have bought into a bad situation for his development plans. As the majority opinion notes, the ordinances which resulted in the denial of his subdivision plat applications preceded his obtaining the property in question. Those ordinances have not been shown not rationally related “to the health, safety, morals and welfare of the community." Id. at 514, 567 P.2d at 1265. Consequently, the plaintiff’s hardship is regrettable, but was not unforeseeable.
