The Fremont County Board of Commissioners approved a grant application for a new Starpoint office building, granted a temporary variance for porta-potties at a local quarry, and added three fee assessments to the county's list of zoning fees at the Board's regular meeting on September 26th.
Starpoint, which serves developmentally disabled adults in the community, plans to relocate its administration offices from the corner of 6th and Macon. Also relocating are Starpoint adult services facilities next to Faricy Ford and across from Canon Rental. All offices will move to the former St. Thomas More therapy center at 700 South 8th Street in Canon City. Fremont County is the sponsoring entity for a $350,000 State of Colorado Community Development Block Grant.
In addressing three zoning fee assessments, which were mistakenly left off of a new zoning fee schedule adopted earlier this year, the Board approved a resolution establishing an $800 application fee for site development plans for manufactured home parks, travel trailer parks, and campgrounds, and a $2,150 fee was set for zone change applications with site development plans for manufactured home parks, travel trailer parks, and campgrounds. A $250 fee was established for co-locating antennas on existing towers.
Convening as the Fremont County Board of Health the Commissioners heard a request from Larsen LLC to allow porta-potties as a means of permanent sewage disposal at Larsen's Byzantine Quarry operation which was permitted by the Commissioners several months ago along County Road 69 west of Canon City. The Commissioners were told that state law prohibits portable toilets as a permanent sewage disposal option if there is year round use of a facility. In an effort to provide Larsen LLC time to develop the quarry site on the permitted acreage, the Commissioners approved a temporary variance to allow use of porta-potties on the quarry site for about one year. The Board directed that Larsen must submit a plan to the Planning Department by July 1st, 2007, and have a permanent sewage disposal system in place by September 1st of next year.
