An application for a gypsum mine permit, a zone change request, and a minor subdivision make up the agenda for the Fremont County Planning Commission's February 3rd monthly meeting.
GCC Rio Grande is seeking a Conditional Use Permit to operate an open pit gypsum mine about 2 1/4 miles south of the Fremont-El Paso County line. Ron Hedrick proposes to operate the Salt Canyon Project on 559 acres on the northwest side of Highway 115 under a lease from the State Board of Land Commissioners. The property previously had a permit issued in 2001 but mine operations never began.
Justin Kaiser is seeking a zone change from Ag Forestry to Business Zone District for 6 1/2 acres of property along the south side of Highway 50 across from a rock shop about four miles west of Texas Creek. Kaiser is seeking the zone change to allow seasonal retail sales and to allow an existing residence to be used as a watchman's quarters.
The Planning Commission will also consider a request for a two lot minor subdivision by Fred and Jane Gifford for their property in the Four Mile area southeast of Canon City. The property is just west of the intersection of Crawford Drive and MacKenzie Avenue. The existing lot of just less than one acre would be divided into two lots of .64 and .28 acres.
The Planning Commission meets at 7 o'clock Tuesday evening, February 3rd, in room LL-3 of the Fremont County Administration Building at 615 Macon Avenue in Canon City.
