County Planning Manager Roorda gave an overview of the request. Commissioner Holman asked that since the Chaffee County Fire Protection District requires either a 6000 gallon cistern goes onto the property or that the property owners give $6000 to the Fire Protection district, how does that $6000 benefit the property owner who pays it. County Planning Manager Roorda stated he didn t know but he could ask the Fire Protection District. Tony Komarnsky, 22447 Spring St., Garfield stated there was a pretty good sized cistern at Mt. Princeton that was nearby that they were planning on using. He also stated the requirement for a homeowners association for two lots seemed excessive.

Marcus Ward, 14583 County Road 162, Nathrop, stated his property was directly west of the property in question. He wanted to clarify how the lots would be used.
