The ball is now in the developer’s court after Jefferson County Planning & Zoning has responded to a proposal to put 47 townhomes on the east end of Hilltop Drive that neighbors have been trying to stop because of safety concerns.
A group of foothills residents say Jefferson County is moving too slowly in revising its short-term rental requirements, and it hoped a peaceful protest outside the Jefferson County Courthouse would nudge officials to take action.
Residents living near Hilltop Drive in Evergreen are frustrated that they are hitting walls as they try to stop a multifamily development proposed at the end of the road because of wildfire-evacuation issues.
