OBJECTIONS DUE BY APRIL 7TH - FINAL EXAMPLES

PLEASE EMAIL ELRANCHOCOMMUNITY@GMAIL.COM AND REQUEST ATTACHMENTS BELOW BE EMAILED TO YOU. Facebook does not allow word documents to be attached and the documents are too large to send as a picture.

We will also be sending these attachments out to people already on our email distribution.

As requested, there are THREE examples that can be used to object to the proposed water system. These include the objections provided by Aamodt Settlement Facebook.

ATTACHMENT A and B
: Objectors can attached ONE of these objection listings to their completed form. Where it asks for objections please write in bold print "SEE ATTACHMENT" and staple the forms together along with the attachment you choose. Please only use one of the example attachments. They are similar and we want to make sure persons use only the one that pertains most to their situation. The Objector or their Attorney will have to argue their objections to the court if requested. Please do not let this intimidate you. If there are many "like" objections, the judge may allow a group argument.

ATTACHMENT C: These objections are the ones that Lorenzo Atencio offered to the community. Another lawyer created a template of the actual form with his objections formatted in the form itself. If these pertain to you, all that is needed is to fill out the first page and sign.

These objections must be delivered by or before April 7th. Hand delivery is best and at that time they should be stamped received.

They can be delivered to:
Federal Court, 106 South Federal Street (next to the main Post Office), Santa Fe. If you can hand deliver objections for your neighbors, elderly, and family please do so.

Please share with all that might need help with objections.

NOTIFICATION FROM COMMUNITY MEMBER

Aside from objecting or making your election for the Aamodt Settlement, residents need to look at the proposed pipeline. The proposed course for the RWS pipeline enters private non-Indian property and branches in residential driveways. You can contact Molly Thrash of the Bureau of Reclamation at sthrash@usbr.gov to object to the proposed pipeline path if this proposed pipeline crosses your private property.

FYI- County Meeting for Community Zoning, Pojoaque Meeting tomorrow at 9AM..Please Share.






Hi all,  this is just a heads-up concerning the zoning map meetings being suddenly held by the county, as in the county's message today (the 11th) from Chrisann Romero:

Santa Fe County is in the process of assigning SLDC base zoning districts in community planning districts, . The assignment of base zoning districts in the plan areas represents a significant change from the SLDC Preliminary Zoning Map October 2013 . . . .

Keep in mind the following from the recently adopted SLDC from CHAPTER NINE – COMMUNITY DISTRICTS:

9.3. EFFECT OF SLDC ON EXISTING COMMUNITY DISTRICTS.
Prior to the adoption of the SLDC, numerous community districts were established by ordinance, and these individual community district ordinances shall remain in effect until such time as new community plans are adopted in accordance with Chapter 2, and a corresponding O-CD is established in accordance with Chapter 8.  --emphasis added

I 'm not the only one concerned that the zoning map is not going to reflect our community plans but will be imposing zoning that may be quite contrary to them.  It may also be that:

--there was not even a legal amount of time for public notice of these meetings,
--the county is not following their own code and plan.

If it turns out that there is a problem--that there is heavy-handed zoning being imposed--people could ask at their appointed meeting, such questions as:  What is the criteria for this?  
Community District Zoning Map Review Schedule-All meetings will be held in the County Commission Chambers
