Upper Blue Planning Commission record shows 5-0 vote on TDR amendment motion; final disposition not clear in minutes
Loading...
Summary
The commission considered PLN25-031, a request to change a 14.33-acre parcel at 133 Adams Way from a neutral to a receiving TDR area. The minutes record a 5-0 vote tied to a motion to deny, but the wording is internally inconsistent and the case’s final disposition is not specified in the record provided.
The Upper Blue Planning Commission reviewed PLN25-031 on Oct. 23, 2025, a Class 5 Official transfer-of-development-rights (TDR) amendment for a 14.33-acre parcel at 133 Adams Way (CR 915), zoned A-1.
Simon Corson provided a summary of a site visit and described features commissioners said were important to see, including the proposed building envelope, nearby steep slopes and wetlands. Applicant Lindsay Hirsh presented the proposal and answered commissioners’ questions.
Commissioner Dan Cleary moved to deny PLN25-031; Commissioner Emily Lawless seconded. The minutes state, verbatim, “The motion was denied with a vote of 5-0.” The record as provided is internally inconsistent about whether the denial motion passed or failed and does not clearly record the commission’s final disposition of PLN25-031.
The transcript establishes the presentation, the site-visit briefing and the motion to deny with a recorded 5-0 tally, but it does not contain an unambiguous statement that the application was either denied or advanced. The Summit County Planning Department minutes (as included in this record) are the source for this account and contain the quoted language.
