The Fremont County Planning Commission will hear an application for a site development plan for a rafting company at Parkdale and consider a conditional use permit application for a sandstone quarry north of Canon City at the Commission's July 7th meeting.
Royal Gorge Rafting is seeking approval of a site development plan on a one acre site bordering the Arkansas River and Highway 50 at Parkdale. The property contains a spring fed pond, graveled parking area, port-a-toilets, a shed, and a gazebo. Royal Gorge Rafting uses the site as a commercial rafting put-in and take-out site.
KrauthCo Incorporated is seeking a conditional use permit to take over ownership of an existing sandstone quarry currently owned by Joe Stock. KrauthCo wants to mine sandstone on about 15 acres on the 35 acre site. Only about a half acre was disturbed when the quarry was previously permitted under J & J Stone.
Because of scheduling conflicts due to the Independence Holiday observance on July 5th, the Planning Commission rescheduled their monthly meeting for Wednesday afternoon, July 7th, at 4:00 p.m. at the Fremont County Administration Building.
