Open Letter to Steve White
Mary Wood from Montrose Citizens for Responsible Growth pens an open letter to Steve White, the Montrose County Land Use Director. While she commends Mr. White on his professional demeanor and thanks him for his “patience, calmness, and willingness to explain complex issues to us lay public,” she also reminds him that the Master Plan continues to be marginalized by “the majority of the Planning Commission (who, not coincidentally, have real estate and development backgrounds).” Mary also states that “master plans- by definition- are not supposed to proscribe “exact” measures; rather, they are meant to define broad and general concepts that are vital to achieving a community’s long term vision for itself.”
