We need your help in Chaffee County. A citizen planning group, Envision Chaffee County, has produced a Draft Recreation Plan for the Salida and Buena Vista Areas in Central Colorado. Within this plan, we have identified some issues and concerns we would like to share with you.
While it is possible to submit responses through the Envision website, we encourage you to send them directly to the Chaffee County Commissioners, Chaffee County Planning & Zoning, and Cindy Williams, the co-chair of Envision Recreation in Balance. Please copy and paste the following email addresses into your browser.
Commissioner Greg Felt (ERiB Co-Chair)- gfelt@chaffeecounty.org
Commissioner Keith Baker - kbaker@chaffeecounty.org
Commissioner Rusty Granzella - rgranzella@chaffeecounty.org
Planning and Zoning Dan Swallow - dswallow@chaffeecounty.org
Planning and Zoning Jon Roorda - jroorda@chaffeecounty.org,
Planning and Zoning Christie Barton - cbarton@chaffeecounty.org
Cindy Williams (ERiB Co-Chair) - cindy@envisionchaffeecounty.org
Watch the following video and tell them:
1. Who you are, and be sure to mention if you are a Chaffee County resident.
2. What you like to do in Chaffee County.
3. You do not think a 3rd party special interest group like Envision should be developing a plan that insinuates they have decision authority on public land management. Envision should not be implying the Travel Management Planning process mandated by federal law - specifically with Voluntary Seasonal Closures, Recreation development “no go” zones, and identifying areas of critical wildlife habitat in a county Recreation Plan.
That’s it - clean, simple, and to the point. The more input, the better, and this is all you need to say!
The full draft plan is found here.
