Amador County – The Amador Regional Planning Committee will meet next week to discuss, among other things, the future of the committee itself, along with “view-sheds” of the various county jurisdictions.

The agenda includes discussion and possible action on expansion outreach of the Committee, and will also discuss view-sheds by jurisdiction. The Committee could also act to set an agenda for its next meeting, Aug. 24.

Committee Chairman, Jackson Vice Mayor Keith Sweet said: “In a nutshell: The Amador Regional Planning Committee is reviewing the (Memorandum of Understanding) that created it to determine if it (the MOU) should be modified or cancelled.” Sweet said “such modification may include a broader range of participants and a more specific list of activities.”

The other item for the Committee’s discussion and possible action next week, he said, set “for discussion for this year is an outgrowth of a county-wide workshop last fall and that was to review all jurisdictions’ General Plan statements regarding scenic view-shed protection along our scenic highways and determine if there is a need for any updating to these (General Plan) provisions.”

The Amador County Regional Planning Committee’s current members include the cities of Plymouth, Jackson, Sutter Creek and Amador City. Members also include the two informally formed citizen groups, the Pine Grove Civic & Improvement Club, and the Upcountry Community Council, along with representation by a citizen at-large.

The Committee meets 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 27 at the Jackson Civic Center.
