WHAT'S NEXT? (WAITING FOR CONFORMATION, POSTPONED)

The BOCC site visit and hearing are April 11.  

Site visit at 2:30 and Hearing at 4.


All Options are on the Table

The staff report for the BOCC hearing will contain staff's recommended motions. These are typically those identified in the staff report that was presented to the Planning Commission along with their motion and any conditions that the Planning Commission included. 

The Board has discretion to reach different findings, a different conclusion, different conditions, or even table consideration to a future date. 

In reaching a different conclusion the Board would need to identify standards from the regulations which lead them to that conclusion. 

Board could decide to include a wide variety of different changes to the proposal such as reducing or expanding hours of operation, number of horses, number of events, size & location of buildings, etc. 

Just because staff is recommending specific findings, conclusions and motions does not mean that the Board has to agree. I hope that helps.

Example text for public comment opposing TARS

We support horse boarding and riding facilities in Missouri Heights, but the scale and commercial operations proposed by Twin Acres Riding Stables are incompatible with the surrounding Rural Residential community.  We are sharing the following examples to help public commenters craft comments for submitting to Eagle County. We do not recommend using the examples verbatim. You should tailor them to reflect your own thoughts. If the county sees duplicated public comments, the comments might not be taken seriously.
