In this photo, part of the subject property is seen on the lower bench in the distance. John Stroud/Post Independent A land-use dispute that’s been brewing for months in the area known as Missouri Heights northeast of Carbondale finally gets its day or days in this case before the Garfield County commissioners starting next week. The Board of County Commissioners is slated to begin the public hearing process for the Ascendigo camp proposal at 1 p.m. Monday.

Ascendigo plan for Missouri Heights camp facility meets with neighbor opposition

John Stroud/Post Independent A plan by Ascendigo Autism Services to develop 126 acres in eastern Missouri Heights near El Jebel for a summer camp and year-round activities center for autistic children is now before Garfield County planning officials for review. Before the plan was even submitted in late January by the Carbondale-based nonprofit organization, though, a group of nearby residents organized in opposition to the plans. Among their chief concerns is that they view the development as a business operation in a rural, residential area that would generate excess traffic, impact the local water supply and potentially create a wildfire hazard.
