Planning Commission and Zoning Board Seats to be Filled

The Fremont County Board of Commissioners is accepting letters of interest from persons interested in appointments to the Fremont County Planning Commission and the Fremont County Board of Zoning Adjustment.

There are two seats set to expire at the end of this year on the Planning Commission. One position is a seat filled by a designee of the Canon City Council and Mayor. That seat is currently held by former Mayor Bill Jackson. The commissioners are accepting letters of interest for the other position which is a seat that has typically represented the Penrose area. It is currently held by Tom Doxey whose term expires in late November. Doxey is eligible for reappointment. The Planning Commission meets monthly at 7:00 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month.

The commissioners are also accepting letters of interest from persons interested in appointment to the county's Board of Zoning Adjustment. The board meets in the late afternoon on the third Tuesday of each month as necessary when there are appeals to be heard. The board hears requests for variances of the county's zoning regulations. Two three-year terms come up for appointment in November. The terms of Jim Javernick and Mike Welch expire. Both are eligible for reappointment.

Anyone interested in the Planning Commission appointment or the Board of Zoning Adjustment appointments should submit a letter of interest to the County Commissioners Office, Room 105, at 615 Macon Avenue in Canon City, no later than 4:30 p.m., Thursday, October 29th.
