Agenda Set for January Planning Commission Meeting

Agenda Set for January Planning Commission Meeting

Election of officers, consideration of a site development plan for a Penrose mini-storage facility, applications for a pair of wireless communications towers in western Fremont County, and a proposed amendment to the county zoning resolution, highlight the agenda for the monthly meeting of the Fremont County Planning Commission on January 5th.

The Planning Commission will conduct its annual reorganizational meeting choosing officers for 2010 including electing a permanent chairman. Dean Sandoval has been serving as acting chairman following the resignation of former Chairman Tom Piltingsrud from the Commission.

The Commission will consider a site development plan for a 130 unit mini-storage facility proposed by Eagle Peaks Investment LLC on a nearly two acre site southwest of Highway 115 and 7th Street in the Penrose area. Two existing garages on the site would be removed when the site is developed.

The Commission will also consider a pair of applications for Special Review Use Permits by AllTel Cellular for a pair of wireless communications towers, both on private property. Both towers would be 48 feet high and provide 3G communications and high speed wireless internet service. One tower would be located southwest of 28th Trail and 'H' Path in the Deer Mountain area. The other would be located on along the southeast side of Highway 50 about two miles west of the Highway 69 junction at Texas Creek.

The proposed amendment to the county's zoning resolution under consideration would clarify the validity of supporting information as part of any application, commitments related to signatures on any application, and the possibility of imposing professional review fees to cover actual expenses of evaluating any application. Such expenses could include costs associated with expert review or investigative assistance.

The Fremont County Planning Commission meets at 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, January 5th, at the Fremont County Administration Building.
