Sealand Container Policy Workshops Scheduled

On May 16, 2006 Title 19 of the Amador County Code was amended to include regulations pertaining to sea-land storage containers in order to encourage appropriate locations and uses for such containers and protect the visual quality of the County. 
Within the last year, however, existing and potential situations have surfaced; demonstrating a need for review and/or possible amendment of the sea-land container ordinance. On May 22, 2007 the Board of Supervisor adopted a Resolution of Intention to initiate the proceedings to consider amending Section 19.48.160 (Sea-Land Containers).  This matter has proven to be of great interest to the community; therefore the Board of Supervisors has scheduled two joint public workshop sessions with the Planning Commission to provide the public the opportunity to voice their concerns and possible solutions to the issues of the use of sea-land storage containers. These two sessions will be held on Tuesday, September 25, 2007 at the following times and locations: Afternoon Session, 2:30 pm until 4:30 p.m. and Evening Session 7:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. The Board of Supervisors invites any and all interested person to attend and participate in these workshops.  If you are unable to attend you may submit written comments to the Board of Supervisors, 810 Court Street, Jackson, CA  95642.
