Proposed Zoning Rules Raise Concerns about Compliance with Mid-Valley Community Plan
Building networks and participating in networks within the Community is crucial to our mission. KMOHR aims to work with our County Commissioners and other community partners by participating on advisory groups and other community groups. The current groups we participate on include:
Eagle County Land Use Code Reform Technical Advisory Committee - See our online pages
Roaring Fork Outdoor Coalition - Following is a summary from the Roaring Fork Outdoor Coalition Community Advisory Committee meeting in Basalt.
Roaring Fork Outdoor Coalition Community Advisory Committee Meeting Summary
The meeting focused on introducing prior work to the newly appointed Advisory Committee.
The study area is the Roaring Fork watershed.
Two studies were presented:
"Roaring Fork Watershed Biodiversity and Connectivity Study" focused primarily on deer and elk habitat, omitting predators like mountain lions, bears, and wolves.
"Outdoor Recreation Visitor Use and Experience" study examined recreation in the upper Roaring Fork Valley from Aspen to Arbany-Kittle outside Basalt, omitting Prince Creek, Red Hill, and Glassier Open Space trails.
Concerns were raised about the lack of inclusion of mid-and lower-valley sites and the need for more balanced representation in the project.
The goal is to complete a strategic plan for the watershed that balances wildlife, recreation, and other elements aimed at increased compatibility and sustainability over a two-year timeframe.
The next meeting date is yet to be announced.
