| Abstract: |
In Jefferson County we have established a procedure that is being implemented now that addresses the issue of wildfire at the development process. As a part of the development process we require that, where a hazard exists, a forest management plan be implemented prior to the conveyance of property ownership or just prior to building. A building permit will not be issued until a forest management plan is completed. Implementing this procedure has resulted in better relationships between Jefferson county, the Colorado State Forest Service, and local fire protection districts. |
