On its surface, the effort to create new design standards for the 100 block of Minturn might seem to be an unexciting affair. Countless hours have been spent over the course of the last year.
Approval of the Minturn Town Council’s long-discussed guidelines for the future design of the downtown area has been delayed until Oct. 19. The Town Council has been making efforts to amend and replace certain land.
To use the parlance of our times, the 100 block just hits different. That’s about all the explanation business owners will receive in inquiring why short-term rentals on one area of Main Street, but not.
After a lengthy discussion on July 6, the Minturn Town Council wasn’t quite ready to come back to 100 block of Main Street right away at its next meeting. There was a lot to take.
The town of Minturn saw more interest in its new Historic Preservation Commission appointments on Thursday than it saw in its Town Council election in 2022. The new commission has been in the works throughout.
