Below are the Agenda and Packet for meeting, which can also be found, along with more information about the Board on the BZA page here:
The Town of Nederland was accepted into the Community Planning Assistance for Wildfire (CPAW) Program. This program provides support in the form of technical (not monetary) assistance, as well as all-expense paid attendance at the Land Use Planning and Wildfire Forum in Boulder, Colorado on December 10-12, 2019. The forum provides the latest science and best practices regarding wildfire risks, as well as network building opportunities. The grant application was a collaboration between the Nederland Fire Protection District (NFPD) personnel Fire Chief Rick Dir, Fire Inspector and Wildfire Risk Coordinator Rik Henrikson, and Deputy Zoning Administrator Cynthia Bakke, with some historical perspective and past wildfire program information provided by former Trustee and PROSAB Chairman Randy Lee.

The Planning Commission will be holding their regular meeting on 9.25.2019
Due to a default setting in the web portal, the iCompass Agenda shows the heading as a Board of Trustees meeting on the first page, however this is incorrect. You’ll see on the 2nd page (agenda without links) that February 27 is a Planning Commission meeting. We are working with company techs to get this ongoing issue resolved. My apologies for any confusion this may cause in the interim.
For any questions, contact Cynthia Bakke at cynthiab<at symbol>nederlandco.org or 303-258-3266 ext 1040

The Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) will meet on January 10, 2019 starting at 7pm in order to conduct regular Board business (Approval of September 13, 2018 meeting minutes and Election of Officers) as well as consider a variance request for Dave McElvain at 88 Sundance Circle in order to construct an attached garage in the rear of the home which would not meet the district’s required 40-foot rear setback.
The Board of Zoning Adjustment meets quarterly on the 2nd Thursday of the first month of each quarter (January, April, July, October), unless there is no board business or variance requests. Should a variance request be submitted in between a quarterly meeting, another date may be chosen to meet. Decisions of the BZA may only be appealed through District Court.
For any questions, please contact Deputy Zoning Administrator / BZA Clerk Cynthia Bakke at 303-258-3266 ext 22 or via email at cynthiab<at symbol>nederlandco.org
