The Fremont County Planning Commission will consider a permit for a Tallahassee Fire Station northwest of Cañon City and an amendment to the county’s subdivision regulations when the commission gathers for its’ monthly meeting on April 2nd.
The Tallahassee Volunteer Fire Department is seeking a Special Review Use Permit that would allow them to construct a main fire station on the Rideout Ranch along Colorado Highway 9 about 2 ¼ miles north of the Highway 50 junction. The Tallahassee Fire Department plans to build a fire station that would house a minimum of five fire apparatus plus administrative and operations offices. The department says the facility could be used as an emergency command center for local authorities as well. The fire station would be built on 5.2 acres of property that are on the Rideout Ranch.
The Planning Commission will also consider an amendment to the section of Fremont County’s Subdivision Regulations that deal with final plats. The Commission and Board of Commissioners have already reviewed and adopted amendments to the subdivision regulations that deal with sketch plans and preliminary plats. A copy of the proposed amendment can be reviewed on-line on the county’s web site at www.fremontco.com. Go to the Planning and Zoning Department page on the web site and click on the link in the middle of the page for the proposed amendment.
The Planning Commission meets at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 2nd, in Room LL-3 of the Fremont County Administration Building.
