General and Coconino County Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Supervisors documents, 1972-1975
A comprehensive General Plan for Coconino County containing the following: county profile, forecast and projection, land use, circulation, public facilities and services, open space and recreation, and implementation of the plan. Coconino County Planning and Zoning Regular Meeting with a resolution related to zoning Coconino Country and a petition filed against Summit Property, Inc. Two Planning and Zoning Regular meeting agendas containing votes, on resolutions concerning Hart Prairie. A supplemental statement in opposition to the latest request by Summit Property, Inc. for approval of a zoning change is included. NOTE: The "Save the Peaks" fight was a decade-long struggle, originally pitting local citizens against Summit Properties and its parent corporation, the Post Company. The object of the controversy was a 350 acre parcel of land in the Hart Prairie area of the San Francisco Peaks. In the early 1970's, local Flagstaff citizens united to prevent the company's proposed development of the Hart Prairie acreage. During the course of the controversy, the citizens of Flagstaff and Summit Properties became allies against the United States Forest Service (USFS). Both groups felt the USFS, guardians of American public forest lands, extended the "Save the Peaks" controversy for many years by neither cooperating nor negotiating in good faith with either the citizens of Flagstaff or Summit Properties.
