Russell Hall and his Pinery 40 LLC purchased the 47-acre prairie property adjacent to the Colorado Horse Park [CHP]. They have submitted proposals for a “major rezone” to the current zoning. Currently this beautiful land is zoned for 15 Equestrian Estate properties on 2 ½ acres. Pinery 40 LLC wants to triple this number of houses (46-47 houses) and eliminate equestrian properties.
The Board of County Commissioners [BOCC] meeting is scheduled for 24 Sept @ 2:30pm.
