KOTO Radio Show: Straight Talk: The Telluride Maze

Description

A KOTO Radio show, called Straight Talk: the Telluride Maze, that aired on April 30, 1987, in Telluride, Colorado. Jim Davidson interviews Building Inspector Paul Christiansen, Town Planner Amy Levek, Developer Dirk De Pagter, and Architect George Greenbank. The Telluride land development process (the Telluride maze) is discussed. The initial review process of building plans, by the town and various town departments, is of concern. Too many town commissions and boards, including HARC, the planning & zoning department, the inspection department, etc. have to approve before building can take place. Also building code is cumbersome and can be interpreted in a number of ways. Flood plan ordinances and parking ordinances are mentioned. There are also problems with land-use codes. Recording length is about 36 minutes. Supported in part by an award from the Colorado Historical Records Advisory Board, through funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), National Archives Records Administration.
