The fate of a protective bald eagle nest buffer zone that has accompanied the gated Aspen Glen neighborhood near Carbondale since it was approved in 1993 now rests with Garfield County commissioners.
In November 2020, the commissioners determined that a request by the Aspen Glen Golf Co. a subsidiary of Apollo holdings to remove the buffer zone requires a full public hearing as a “substantial modification” to the long-established planned unit development.
The matter goes before the Garfield County Planning Commission Wednesday night for a recommendation, and is tentatively scheduled to come before the county commissioners in September.
