Contact The Planning Commission ASAP

We received the following message two days ago from a humble Ogden Valley reader.
Towards the bottom of the Weber County Planning page, there is an item identified as the Residential Treatment Facility proposed ordinance.  This is what the OVPC came up with at the July 6 work meeting.  I could be mistaken but it appears that in their wisdom they have opened up all zones except commercial for these facilities.  Only requirement is one mile apart. 
We have copied the text from the Weber County Planning Page below:
 The Ogden Valley Township Planning Commission (OVPC) during their July 6, 2010 work session gave direction to the proposed Residential Treatment Academy amendment that would make it a conditional use in the FV-3 Forest Valley Zone. This amendment includes a new term and definition to the Zoning Ordinance definitions Chapter 1 and amending Chapter 23 Supplementary and Qualifying Regulations to include a new section listing regulations and requirements for a Residential Treatment Academy.
The OVPC included language to expand Residential Treatment Academy’s as a conditional use in the F-5, F-10, F-40, FV-3, and AV-3) zones. Specific direction was given by the Ogden Valley Planning Commission regarding architectural/ landscaping site design, and spacing standards. Public comments are welcome. Please submit written comments by July 16, 2010 in order to be included in the Planning Commission’s packets.
We just noticed a deadline of July 16, 2010 even though the meeting is not until July 27, 2010.   We urge you to send in your comments even though the deadline has passed.

This is the bulls**t stuff that occurred at the meeting. When you write make sure you state that public *MUST* occur. The Director of Planning for the county and the Chairperson of the OVPC did not want anymore public comment as two sessions have been about this subject.

There has been so much change made public comment must be allowed.

As we have seen all to clearly recently "unintended" consequences are the bain of some of recent zoning and other rules and legislation our esteemed leaders have implemented. This proposal would appear to have potential for far reaching affects across the valley landscape.
