Comprehensive Plan or Master Plan of affected municipalities. The Town
of Frederick reviewed this proposal and requested that the applicant
comply with Health Department regulations. The Town of Firestone has
reviewed the proposal and is requesting an annexation agreement
between the applicant and the Town pursuant to the Tri-Area IGA.
