Saguache County rescinds Casita Park design approval, schedules public meeting for March 19
Summary
The board rescinded prior approval of a two-bedroom, two-bath Cillian Hearth design for Casita Park after discovering POA restrictions, and approved hosting a community input meeting March 19 to revise the plan; motion passed 3-0.
The Saguache County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 24 to rescind its earlier approval of a two-bedroom, two-bath Cillian Hearth design for the Casita Park housing project after learning the design may not comply with property owners association (POA) restrictions.
Commissioner Liza Marron moved to rescind the prior approval, saying new POA restrictions had come to light that made the previously approved design noncompliant. The board voted 3-0 to rescind the approval.
Marron also moved that the county host a community meeting to solicit public input on housing design alternatives. The board approved reserving the POA hall and scheduling the meeting for March 19, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., directing staff to post the current design on the county website and advertise the meeting in local media and social channels.
Why it matters: The Casita Park project is part of the county’s housing efforts; rescinding the design approval and seeking community input could delay procurement and construction timelines but was presented as a step to ensure compliance with local POA restrictions and community acceptance.
What happens next: County staff will post the design online, advertise the March 19 community meeting and collect feedback to guide a revised design that complies with POA rules. The board indicated additional discussion or possible executive-session review might follow pending legal considerations.
