The Board of County Commissioners is accepting letters of interest from citizens of Fremont County wishing to serve on the Fremont County Planning Commission. The Commissioners will be appointing someone to fill a vacancy created by the resignation last week of Keith McNew. McNew told fellow Planning Commission members that he was resigning due to personal conflicts and other priorities at this time. McNew has served on the Planning Commission for the past 5 1/2 years.
The Commission meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. to review land use proposals, such as subdivisions, zone changes, and use permits and make recommendations to the County Commissioners who render a final decision on land use proposals. The Planning Commission has also begun monthly workshop sessions to update the Fremont County Master Plan, a county-wide guideline for reviewing land use proposals.
Because McNew served in the seat which typically has represented western Fremont County, the Board of Commissioners is encouraging letters of interest from western Fremont County residents. However, the application process is open to anyone. Interested persons should submit a letter stating their qualifications and reasons for wanting to serve by mail or in person to the County Commissioners at 615 Macon Avenue - Room 105, Canon City, Colorado 81212, or by fax at (719) 276-7304. The deadline for letters is 4:00 p.m., Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010.
The Planning Commission appointment is for a three year term. For more information concerning the Planning Commission please contact the Department of Planning and Zoning at 276-7360 or by email at planning@fremontco.com.
