Public Hearing Notice: Proposed Amendment to Spring Valley Ranch PUD
An official notice has been posted for a public hearing on the proposed substantial amendment to the Spring Valley Ranch PUD. This is a critical meeting for the future of our community.
The county has secured a large venue as they anticipate significant public attendance.
Meeting Details:
Date: Wednesday, October 22
Time: 6:00 PM
Location: CMC Ascent Center
Important Background: As you may be aware, the original applicant, Storied Development, has stepped out of this process after cancelling two county planning meetings last year. The current owner, Spring Valley Holdings LLC, has stepped in to continue the application. To our knowledge, nothing has changed in the application except the name of the applicant.
We appreciate your continued support in our initiative to Save Spring Valley from this egregious development. Please plan to attend and share this information with your neighbors.

A BEAR INSIDE OF YOUR HOME?
On Friday night and Saturday night (June 28 and 29, 2024) there were 2 separate break-ins by a bear at 2 different homes on Mountain View Rd. The bear got in thru windows slightly cracked opened and ransacked a kitchen/living area in each case. The animal control was contacted and they came to the properties today. A trap has been set for the bear. In the meantime, please be bear aware-bring in bird feeders, do not leave garbage cans outside over night, close all windows completely on ground levels. Please be very bear aware, this is their community as well as ours. We need to be safe and bears need not to be attracted to our homes.
