Commission approves 3-acre parcel transfer for potential future road realignment

The Grand County Planning Commission on July 8 recommended approval of the Granby Ranch South 3 Outright Exemption, a request from GRCO, LLC to create a restricted 3.00-acre parcel near the top of Red Dirt Hill adjacent to U.S. Highway 40. Planning Director Kristen Manguso told commissioners the parcel is intended to "hold land for the potential future realignment of County Road 88 with the YMCA/Snow Mountain Ranch entrance," and staff verified that the Bennetts will retain 72.16 acres—remaining compliant with the 35-acre minimum under Senate Bill 35.
