Front Page | Subscribe | Visitor's Guide | Classifieds | PeaksNewsNet March 3, 2005 Edition More Top Stories ICO stalls at council by Ann E. Wibbenmeyer Herald Staff Writer City council made no motion on the Institutional Control Overlay District (ICO) at Tuesday’s meeting The issue was the main item of discussion for the city Planning and Zoning committee on Feb. 23, where it decided to recommend the initiation of a text/map amendment to city council. The initiation of the amendment would have started the discussion between city council, the public and the EPA. It would not have passed the ICO. The ICO would mandate property owners to have 12 inches of clean soil in the perimeter of any building. This would require a place to take contaminated soil and a place to get clean soil to replace it with. Councilmember Scott Marcella started discussion Tuesday by recalling the brown envelope he received from the EPA 17 years ago, and compared the ICO packet to the same brown envelope. Advertise YOUR Only this time the EPA is taking the back-door approach by Business HERE! using the elected officials to do their dirty work, he said. People put their trust in their elected officials to protect them from things like the ICO, Marcella said. Councilmember Carol Hill said, “There is zero benefit for current Leadville/Lake County residents.” She also mentioned the added layer of bureaucracy the ICO entails. For Hill, the only good option would be one that guarantees residents would not have to pay a dime, and that comes with a date the EPA would leave Leadville. Mayor Bud Elliott brought up the Harrison Avenue slag pile, reminding the council that the Union Pacific Railroad would not sell the property until the ICO was passed. After this, the railroad company would no longer be the primary responsible party. The property has sat empty for years and would be a prime location for commercial development, if it could be sold. Robin Littlepage, from the audience, asked Elliott about making just one piece of land an ICO district. He explained that the city could pass an ordinance to cover part or none of the area proposed. Brad Littlepage, a member of the audience, took the opportunity to read a prepared statement voicing his concerns with the ICO. He said there was very little public input into the ICO passed in the county, and that many decisions were made illegally in executive sessions. Public meetings should have been scheduled for each of the operable units (OU) put into the ICO, he said, but one was held for OU 9 only. Elliott disagreed with Littlepage, saying that many public meetings were scheduled and posted at the courthouse. Linda Hollenback, acting city clerk and director of administrative services for the city, reminded the council that the ICO was on the agenda in order to initiate a process that included public hearings. Marcella and Hill both asserted that they would not initiate the process. At the end of the discussion, Elliott asked if there was a motion. None was brought forth. Attend PUC hearing The Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) will hold a public hearing in Leadville on Tuesday, March 8, to take public comment on Qwest's proposal to deregulate most retail telephone services. The public hearing will be at 7 p. m. in the National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum conference room, 120 W. 9th St. Qwest has applied to end regulation of virtually all retail services, asserting that there are adequate competitive alternatives in residential and business markets for both local and long distance telecommunications services throughout the state. The PUC ruled on Feb. 1 that the law does not allow for total deregulation of telecom services that currently are fully regulated - such as basic residential and business service. However, if granted, Qwest's proposal could remove some of the PUC's price and service quality regulation over those services and move them one step closer to deregulation. Services that are already more flexibly regulated - such as in-state long distance and advanced features such as call waiting and Caller ED - could be deregulated in this application. The PUC is seeking public comment on the availability and effectiveness of competitors for all telecommunications services. People who are unable to attend the public hearings can submit written comments to the PUC, 1580 Logan St., Office Level 2, Denver, CO 80203. Comments should be addressed to Docket No. 04A-411T. A formal evidentiary hearing is scheduled for April 18-29 at the PUC in Denver. CASA needs support The Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) needs Lake County volunteers and support. CASA serves Lake, Summit, Eagle and Clear Creek counties, advocating for abused and neglected children. A CASA volunteer is appointed by a judge to a child who has been removed from his home. The volunteer talks to everyone involved in the child’s life, as well as the child, to make recommendations to the court about the child’s future. Anne Marie Chapin, CASA member, said the hope is for the adoption of the children by grandparents or aunts and uncles. CASA was put onto the Colorado State tax form for donations as a charitable nonprofit organization by the Colorado legislature. Donations can be made to CASA at the time taxes are filed. Grant to enhance gardens The Healy House Museum, 912 Harrison Ave., received a $10,000 grant from the Colorado Garden and Home Show. The grant, along with a $10,000 match from the Colorado Historical Society, will be used to restore and enhance the gardens on the museum grounds. In 1949, after acquiring the Healy House and Dexter Cabin, the Colorado Historical Society commissioned S.R. DeBoer, renowned Denver architect, to design a landscaping plan for the property. This design has been adapted to fit into the present available space and will include a gazebo and formal garden area with shaped flowerbeds and Victorian statuary. Additional flower gardens will be planted with heritage flowers and shrubbery, chosen for their ability to flourish at high altitudes. Additional plans include interpretative garden programs and a souvenir booklet. The programs will educate the public about the horticultural challenges of living at 10,200 feet in the 19th century and today. The booklet will take the visitor on a walking tour that identifies flowers and shrubs in the different gardens and planters. Space will be allocated in the booklet for note-taking and journal entries. Interpretive signage will be spaced throughout the gardens to aid the visitor. For more information, call (719) 486-0487. Soldiers reunite Photo by Craig Peterman Earl Clark and Dick Over, former 10th Mountain Division soldiers, get together at the reunion, hosted by Ski Cooper on Friday. Mini-grants to fund activity programs for seniors The Colorado Physical Activity and Nutrition Program, which is based at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, announced that $7,788 in mini-grants have been awarded to eight Colorado communities to aid them in developing physical activity, improved nutrition and fall prevention programs. Leadville, through the Upper Arkansas Area Agency on Aging, in cooperation with Lake County Recreation Department, is one of those communities. The award will provide assistance in bringing two activity programs for older adults to the community. Details about both of these activity classes for older adults of Lake County will be presented at a community information meeting at the Lake County courthouse in the commissioners’ meeting room from 10 to 11 a.m. on Wednesday, March 9. Two members of the Lake County Recreation Department, trained in the Arthritis Foundation’s People with Arthritis Can Exercise activities as well as the Arthritis Foundation’s Aquatics Program, will teach the classes in Leadville.

  • Colorado Byways Strategic Plan 2017
    Strategic Plan for the Colorado Scenic and Historic Byways Commission It is with great pleasure and pride that the Colorado Scenic and Historic Byway Commissioners present our Strategic Plan to support the next three years of the program’s vision. The Colorado Scenic and Historic Byways program isn’t just a list of roads connecting one place to another. The 26 Byways have been carefully selected by the Commissioners to awe, instruct, delight, inform, physically challenge, soothe, and bolster the physical and spiritual health of the thousands of travelers who traverse Colorado’s chosen trails. There isn’t one formula that defines a Colorado Byway, but when you are driving, cycling, or walking on one of these routes you feel a “wow” factor that can’t be denied. Whether you are an outdoor recreationist, history buff, nature lover, tourist, or conservationist, you will recog- nize the work of devoted locals who share their bounty with you through resource stewardship. And that devotion is paid back to the local businesses, non-profits, and local citizens through renewed pride in their resources, community coalescence, and economic development. For the immediate future, the Commissioners want to chart innovative ways to support and guide Colorado’s Scenic and Historic Byways. Please join us in celebrating past accomplish- ments and envisioning new journeys.
