The proposed facility is approximately 42' by 35 `, an apparatus bay area for the equipment, four bedrooms, a dayroom, a community room, an office and a kitchen. (See enclosed plans) III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS A. State Statutes: CRS 30-28-110 (1) requires all public entities to submit plans for the construction of any new building for review and approval of the Planning Commission. The statute states the following: (a) Whenever any county planning commission or, if there is none, any regional planning commission has adopted a master plan of the county or any part thereof, no road, park, or other public way, ground, or space, no public building or structure, or no public utility, whether publicly or privately owned, shall be constructed or authorized in the 1 unincorporated territory of the county until and unless the proposed location and extent thereof has been submitted to and approved by such county or regional planning commission. (b) In case of disapproval, the commission shall communicate its reasons to the board of county commissioners of the county in which the public way, ground, space, building, structure, or utility is proposed to be located. Such board has the power to overrule such disapproval by a vote of not less than a majority of its entire membership. Upon such overruling, said board or other official in charge of the proposed construction or authorization may proceed therewith. (c) If the public way, ground, space, building, structure, or utility is one the authorization or financing of which does not, under the law governing the same, fall within the province of the board of county commissioners or other county officials or board, the submission to the commission shall be by the body or official having such jurisdiction, and the commission's disapproval may be overruled by said body by a vote of not less than a majority of its entire membership or by said official. In the case of a utility owned by an entity other than a political subdivision, the submission to the commission shall be by the utility and shall not be by the public utilities commission; however, the commission's disapproval may be overruled by the public utilities commission by a vote of not less than a majority of its entire membership. (d) The acceptance, widening, removal, extension, relocation, narrowing, vacation, abandonment, change of use, or sale or lease of or acquisition of land for any road, park, or other public way, ground, place, property, or structure shall be subject to similar submission and approval, and the failure to approve may be similarly overruled. (e) The failure of the commission to act within thirty days after the date of official submission to it shall be deemed approval, unless a longer period is granted by the submitting board, body, or official. The Fire District facility will be an upgrade of the existing facility and is in an area that has public utilities such as water and sewer. It is staff s understanding that the District does not have the ability to upgrade the existing facility, therefore the need to find a location for an upgraded fire station to meet the needs of the residents in the area. IV. RECOMMENDATION Approval of the proposed new fire station for the Glenwood Springs Rural Fire Protection District, located within the Four Mile Ranch subdivision.
