Ed Scott and David Hull, landowners and Pine Haven Volunteer Fire Fighters provided additional comments and recommendations. Ed Scott stated that in February 2018 the Board of County Commissioners approved the “Crook County Community Wildfire Protection Plan”. The purpose of this document “is to clarify and refine the priorities for the protection of life and property in the Wildland urban interface.” The document further states that “it is our goal to identify and implement projects that will protect residents living in the Wildland urban interface as well as firefighters and emergency personnel.” And it identifies the Pine Ridge Area as “High Risk” stating “This whole area has major problems with ingress and egress, homes with very little defensible space around homes, very thick juniper understory with pine overstory, small acreages with no grass management are all factors that make Pine Ridge very High Risk.” Discussion was held about the concerns of wild fire in the Pine Ridge area, the 60-foot access easement, the construction of the road and cul-de-sac, the 3:1 lot ratio, needed typographical corrections to the disclosure statement and covenants. Vice-Chairman, Darryl Baker made a motion to continue this hearing to the next CCLUP&ZC meeting; Mary Yemington seconded the motion which carried.
