Vault and Water Moratorium Lifted in Stagecoach

Good news for Stagecoach lot owners looking to build–the moratorium earlier this year has been lifted!  After a recent Board of Directors of the Morrison Creek Metropolitan Water and Sanitation District meeting, legal council emailed: “the Board unanimously adopted (a) a resolution rescinding the moratorium of the District on participation in the Routt County-District Vault Program for construction of residences on certain lots at Stagecoach where there is no central water or sewer, and (b) a Policy and Lot Owner Acknowledgment by which the procedures for lot owner participation in the program has been changed, so that the first step for the Lot Owner and the pre-requisite for the District even signing up a Lot Owner Agreement and recording such Agreement, which the County requires as a pre-requisite to commence consideration of a building permit and vault permit applications for the proposed residence, is the issuance of an exempt well permit by the Colorado State Engineer.   Until an exempt well permit is issued by the State Engineer, the District will not initiate the Land Owner Agreement process or refer the matter to Routt County.”
