I'd appreciate the links and additional info. Things are busy for me lately, but I'll check back when I can. Thanks Gene!

EMac,

I'll break up the information into multiple posts. This one deals with the Park County Planning Commission's June 13, 2017 meeting. I've included both a web link and PDF of the agenda, along with PDFs of the additional information (hot links to these two documents are also available in the agenda). The minutes of the meeting have not been uploaded yet.

June 13, 2017 Park County Planning Commission Meeting Agenda.

[attachment=11319:Planning...7_Agenda.pdf]
Agenda item .6. Rezoning Case #17Zon-04 is the one of interest and contains two documents. As noted in the agenda, the hearing was postponed.

The first document is the application for rezoning prepared by High Speed Aggregate, Inc. and submitted to the Park County Planning Commission on April 30, 2017. The fee is a mere $1700.00. Pages 2 and 3 detail all of the information that an applicant must supply to the Planning Commission for a rezoning request. Pages 8-11 contain copies of the warranty deeds for the two properties*. A map of the zone districts is on page 14. The mining plan begins on page 18 (Exhibit D) and the reclamation plan begins on page 26 (Exhibit E).

The second attachment is an email chain where HSA requested a postponement on the hearing, in part to retain legal counsel. It also mentions the alleged incident between three members of the Hoffman crew and a "member of Park County against us".

* An United States patent was issued on January 10, 1874, which includes the ground subject to the rezoning request. The patent is for a placer mining claim (issuance of the patent is authorized under the July 26, 1866 Mining Law). The placer is described by aliquot parts and, therefore, a mineral survey was not required. For completeness, here is a copy of the patent located in the Control Document Index documents of the BLM's GLO Records web site.

I'll post the July 11, 2017 Planning Commission meeting agenda and 4 related documents shortly.
