<br /> <br />Cus>Eerz Cor~ntty Reflional Plar-Zninfl C <br />February 17, 2000 <br />Custer County Planning Commission <br />Dick Downey Chairman <br />Westcliffe, CO 81252 <br />At their regular meeting February 9, 2000 the Regional Planning Commission took the following <br />actions. <br />Moved to support the request for re-zoning Centennial Ranch. <br />Since all of the parcels in this sub-division are now at least 35 acres in size and the property <br />owners are desirous that the entire sub-division stay that way, they would like to insure that <br />sub-dividing below 35-acres does not occur. The properties are now in a 5-acre zone which <br />which means the possibility exists that a deae{oper could divide lots dmvn to 5 acres in size. The <br />properties are in a dry, remote area where water supplies are limited. <br />Keeping these parcels at least 35 acres also foftows the County's Master Plan which urges no <br />further development of smaller acreage's. <br />Voted to support the request for a Special Lise Permit Modification for Trinity Ranch <br />3rttl thfdioiy i ro5~ IS'iivcy. <br />This 920-acre complex near Wetmore had previously operated as a youth camp and reheat. The <br />property is presently owned by the Episcopal Church Diocese. Since the Diocese is no longer <br />interested in operating a youth camp in this azea, a smaller group of Episcopal Churches in <br />southern Colorado proposes to retain 100 acres of the property and sell the remaining 820 acres <br />to the Holy Cross Abbey. The Episcopal Churches intend to operate a ranch type youth camp. <br />The No1y Cross Abbey intends to use the property as a retreat and visitors' center. A number of <br />additions and improvements are planned by the Abbey including an emergency medical clinic, a <br />monastery, chapel and visitors' center. <br />Water issues appear to have been resolved satisfactorily and with agre.emerrt of both parties. <br />Post Office Box 474 Westcliffe, Colorado 81 "152 <br />
