Dear editor:
The citizens of Park County need to be very vigilant about the Land Use Plan (LUP) that our Park County government is proposing. I was asked to serve on the Land Use Planning Advisory Committee (LUPAC) and have been involved in this process from the beginning. The greatest concern I have with the proposed plan is Chapter 2-page 25 HO-1.4, and Chapter 5 pages 4 and 5 Short Term Rental and Long-Term Rental Regulations, (STR). These dangerous types of regulations are designed to control people and private property rights. They are an ominous and serious overreach of county government. I have said from the very beginning these regulations need to be removed from the LUP. The data has been manipulated for an agenda. This is an attempt to manipulate housing costs, property costs, rental costs and try to influence and manipulate the local economy. Once these policies are instituted and the regulations are in effect, they will become permanent. This policy will burden and infringe on property rights. This has nothing to do with the health, safety and welfare of the citizens! This one policy gives the bureaucratic unelected, unaccountable total power over the citizens of Park County. Look at what just happened when the state and county health department shut down the economy of Park County by issuing mandates, which were proven to be unwarranted. I urge all citizens to go to the website planparkcounty.us to read and comment on the plan, write to the Park County Planning and Zoning Commission, and write or call your Park County Board of Commissioners:
Dossie Overfield — Dossie.Overfield@parkcounty-wy.gov, 307-587-5388
Scott Steward — Usmcsteward@live.com, 307-250-8638
Lee Livingston — lee.livingston@parkcounty-wy.gov, 307-899-3057
Scott Mangold — scott.mangold@parkcounty-wy.gov, 307-202-0527
Lloyd Thiel — Lloyd.thiel@parkcounty-wy.gov, 307-272-9372
Park County Planning and Zoning Commission planning@parkcounty.us.
I encourage everyone to read the document and come up with your own conclusion.
