The Board has several options they could decide upon, which include:
Feedback Form: Draft (Version 1) Oil & Gas Regulations
Thank you for taking the time to review the current draft (Version 1) of the Oil and Gas Regulations, which is the same information presented to the Oil and Gas Task Force at their meeting on October 30, 2019.

TOP ISSUES/THEMES reported out from Group Discussions
- I am very much against the unilateral breakup of the IGA by the mayor and trustees Walker and Cenac. Estes Park government has long been indifferent and at times hostile to residential landowners in Town since we do not contribute equally to the tax coffers compared to commercial businesses. This trend has taken a threatening turn when Jirsa was elected, since he has attempted to eliminate our residential zoning laws by permitting an undefined amount of commercial development in residential zones.
