Madison County is examining the issue of streamside setbacks again. A lengthy 2 year process was begun by a local steering committee and
they presented their findings in September of 2009. It appears that the county is discounting the "science" that they used to make their recommendations and the county is holding a public hearing on June 7th, 2010 at the high school in Ennis to talk about the proposed setbacks.
Read the Bozeman Daily Chronicle article and comments here. The final decision will have a great impact on the Madison River, the property owners along ANY waterway, fisherman and more. I encourage you to attend the Public Forum on June 7. If you cannot attend, you can voice your opinion in a letter to the
County Planning Department.
This is a very important issue for Madison County.
