Mention the Veteran Services Office, transportation service by appointment to get outside of the County.

Question to Lamar: coordination on transit service?
replies

Miriam Nov 18 2024 at 8:57PM on page 10

add "countywide" (not just a Lamar service)
replies

Recognize the existing medical facilities/clinics. Regional trade schools?
replies

Miriam Nov 18 2024 at 8:49PM on page 8

Add "handicapped" or those with disabilities.
replies

"historical farms and ranches"

Numbering is off

"add soil conservation" and consider making this a policy below Goal 2.
replies

Miriam Nov 18 2024 at 8:37PM on page 6

"Prowers County strives for responsible management of limited water resources and soil conservation practices."
replies

Miriam Nov 18 2024 at 8:25PM on page 5

Add "veterans and handicaped"
replies

Miriam Nov 18 2024 at 8:25PM on page 5

Add "skilled nursing facilities"
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 2:22PM on page 12

Suggested Revision
add: "child activities"
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 2:21PM on page 12

Suggested Revision
I would add, "or have accompanying new water resources so as to not minimize water quality and availability."
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 2:14PM on page 9

Question
Do we want to add "facilities" so it is "recreation facilities and activities" ?
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 2:13PM on page 9

Suggested Revision
Change to "all School DIstricts"
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 2:12PM on page 9

Suggested Revision
year-round
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 2:11PM on page 9

Suggested Revision
This should be expanded to also include other colleges and universities. I know that CU Medical School has a rural tract for students in the medical school who originate from rural Colorado and out-of-state areas... so it is not just coordinating with LCC (which is a great addition to our community).
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 2:07PM on page 8

Suggested Revision
I think we should add honoring Colorado historically-significant sites in Prowers County.
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 1:55PM on page 8

Suggested Revision
add here, "where possible"

Please remember that much of the Santa Fe Trail is located on privately-owned land.
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 1:54PM on page 8

Suggested Revision
add: "and enrollment."
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 1:53PM on page 7

Suggested Revision
We need to add to this that Prowers County is the site for numerous historical WPA projects.
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 1:51PM on page 7

Suggested Revision
While Prowers County can issue a special use permit for this type of use, Prowers County has no authority to manage the actual extraction of the minerals or the reclamation. That is the jurisdiction of the Mined Land Reclamation Board and State law/agencies. I believe Prowers County can have as a policy that it will permit these areas consistent with other guidelines and permits controled at the regional, state or federal level.
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 1:48PM on page 7

Suggested Revision
Once again, I do not at all agree with including prime (irrigated) farmland in this category since it limits the private landowner's right to develop the land he/she owns.
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 1:47PM on page 7

Suggested Revision
Prowers County does not control the river, streams and ditches within Prowers County, so I believe this Pollicy 3 of Goal 3 needs to be deleted so as to not give the impression that Prowers County is assuming any duty to maintain or restore rivers, canals, streams or ditches.
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 1:43PM on page 6

Suggested Revision
I would much prefer this Policy 1 to read: "Guide residents with water rights-related legal questions to resources to assist with preservastion of the water within Prowers County." This suggested edit is driven by not wanting to see Prowers County commit to solving a water law question for the resident AND driven by identifying the specific need of keeping the water within Prowers County.
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 1:37PM on page 6

Technical Edit
We need to add "Federal" here also.
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 1:35PM on page 6

Suggested Revision
Need to add "County" after "Prowers" here.
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 1:30PM on page 4

Suggested Revision
I would still prefer that Prowers County stay completely away from the concept of categorizing farmland as prime farmland for the purpose of limiting development.
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 1:29PM on page 4

Question
I cannot recall. Did we decide that should be within a certain area around cities and towns only? If not, I would like to suggest that this be limited to arears surrounding cities and towns.
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 1:27PM on page 4

Suggested Revision
I have the same comment to this Goal 3, Policy 3 as I have with Goal 2, Policy 4. Maybe adding language that includes something like "if desired by the landowner..."
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 12:58PM on page 4

Suggested Revision
I still have a problem with suggesting that conditions would be placed upon landowners which would decrease the landowner's ability to use his/her land, inclusive of prime (irrigated) farmland. I think this paragraph should end at the word "cities."
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 12:54PM on page 4

Suggested Revision
I believe the addition to Policy 3 should also be added to Policy 4 unless "GMA" is defined more broadly than just applicable to the City of Lamar.
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 12:52PM on page 4

Question
Because I do not envision Prowers County having specific joint planning areas with any incorporated town/city other than the City of Lamar, would it be possible to add to Policy 3 language such as or areas for which the County and the incorporated town is in discussions regarding roads and infastructure?
replies

Darla Specht Nov 18 2024 at 12:49PM on page 3

Question
I am unclear. Does Policy 1 address utilites and services with City of Lamar within its GMA, with Policy 2 addressing all other incorporated towns (which are not of sufficient population to require GMA planning)? Or... does Policy 2 include City of Lamar and all of the smaller incorporated towns?
