Hi Everyone!

This is a reminder that the next Conifer/285 Corridor Area Plan update meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 5 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at the Conifer Community Church, 9998 Havekost Road in Conifer.

The topic will be Water. This is a big issue up in the mountains, and especially in the Conifer area because most properties are served by a well and septic system. We will be going through the existing Comprehensive Master Plan policies and how those relate to the existing Conifer Plan policies. Since the Conifer Plan was last updated, the County adopted the Mountain Ground Water Overlay District (MGWOD). This district contains regulations requiring additional information from property owners that are going through a County process to build something that is served by well and septic in the mountains. The adoption of this District may address some of the existing Conifer Plan’s water policies. The County Geologist will be there to talk more about the District and the Water Availability Analysis (WAA) that is now required during the rezoning process.

I will have the staff’s proposal for what the new Conifer Water chapter will look like for the meeting. If I get it done prior to the meeting, I will email it out. Attached are the existing Water Policies from both the Conifer Plan and the Comprehensive Master Plan.

Hope to see you there! Let me know if you have any questions.
