Attendees are asked to bring a puppy or a dog toy to donate.

Driveway standards to be discussed

The La Plata County Public Works Department will hold a second public meeting to discuss proposed driveway standards from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 29 in the Anasazi Room of the La Plata County Courthouse, 1060 East Second Ave.

The proposed driveway standards have been posted at http://co.laplata.co.us. Public participation is needed to help in the development of driveway standards within the unincorporated county.

The county, fire districts and public have been discussing driveway standards for the past decade to address code deficiencies.

The commissioners provided direction to county staff to present draft driveway regulations to the Planning Commission to be incorporated in the Land Use Code. The goal is to fulfill this commitment by presenting a draft of the revised driveway regulations to the Planning Commission for its consideration in November.

For more information, call Jim Davis at 382-6372.
