HomeMy WebLinkAboutMiriam Muñiz Fennell G_13-FEB-26Dear Glenn,
I am writing to share a concern and request clarification regarding marketing materials
currently being mailed throughout the Roaring Fork Valley for the proposed Harvest Roaring
Fork development.
Residents are receiving postcards that present the project with imagery, pricing ranges, and
language that strongly suggests an active, forthcoming community, despite the fact that
the development has not been approved, permitted, or entitled. Several community
members have contacted me expressing confusion about whether the project has already
received county approval.
I understand that developers are permitted to market proposed projects; however, the tone
and presentation of these materials appear to imply inevitability and near-term availability,
which may unintentionally mislead the public about the current land-use status and
decision-making process. Given the scale and sensitivity of this proposal, clarity is
especially important for maintaining public trust in the county’s planning process.
I would appreciate guidance on the following:
Whether the county has reviewed these marketing materials for accuracy regarding
approval status.
Whether there are requirements or best practices for disclosures when marketing
unapproved developments in Garfield County.
How the county recommends residents verify the official status of major development
proposals to avoid confusion.
My intent is not to impede lawful marketing, but to ensure the public understands that this
project remains under review and that no final decisions have been made. Transparent
communication is critical as the community engages with this process.
Thank you for your time and for your service to our community. I would welcome any
clarification you can provide and am happy to discuss further if helpful.
Sincerely,
Miriam Fennell
