Wednesday Agenda set for County Planning Commission

The Fremont County Planning Commission will review proposals for a wireless communications tower in the Penrose area and for new geology camp facilities south of Canon City at their November meeting Wednesday evening. The meeting was moved from the regular first Tuesday of the month because of election day.

The Planning Commission will hear a request for a special review use permit from AT & T Mobility which wants to erect a 100 foot monopole wireless communications tower on the northwest corner of Highway 50 and 'N' Street at Penrose. The tower would house six antennas plus an equipment shed at the base. The property currently is home to Innovative Structures and Classic Garage Doors.

A request for another special review use permit to be reviewed by the Planning Commission comes from the University of Oklahoma School of Geology and Geophysics. The university wants to build a geology camp with facilities on an 86-acre parcel of land along Oak Creek Grade Road, 2 3/4 miles south of Elm Avenue. Plans for the geology camp call for construction of a dining hall, kitchen, student cabins, bath houses, a garage, a pavilion, and offices.

After completing the formal agenda of business the Planning Commission will adjourn into a workshop session to discuss the proposed second amendment to the Fremont County Master Plan.

The Planning Commission meets at 7 o'clock Wednesday evening in the Commissioners Board Room on the lower level of the Fremont County Administration Building.
