Firestone trustees to weigh Varra Estate annexation, building code updates

The Firestone Board of Trustees is scheduled to hold public hearings on annexing the Varra Estate property into the town and zoning it for low-density residential use, according to the agenda for its Aug. 19 meeting. The board also will consider adopting updated building codes, including electric/solar-ready and wildfire resiliency codes, and purchasing water rights from two local entities. No minutes have been published for the meeting, so no decisions have been recorded.

Work session on appointment process (Aug. 12)

The board held a work session Aug. 12 to discuss the trustee appointment process, options available to the board regarding the current situation, and operational matters. The agenda contained no specific proposals, dollar amounts, or public hearings; it was limited to discussion items. Minutes have not yet been published.

Regular meeting agenda (Aug. 19)

The Aug. 19 agenda includes the following items:

• Public hearing on Resolution 26-51 and Ordinance 1079 to annex the Varra Estate property.

These are agenda items only; no votes or decisions have been reported.

Firestone Board Vacancy, Barefoot Lakes Plat Amendment, and Sidewalk Variance on Recent Meeting Agendas

Firestone's recent government meetings covered a board vacancy, a land development proposal, and a variance request — but residents should note that minutes have not yet been published for any of these sessions, so only the scheduled agenda items can be confirmed at this time.

Board of Trustees Declares Vacancy, Discusses Appointments

The Board of Trustees held a special meeting on July 22, 2026, to address a vacancy on the board. The agenda included Resolution 26-58, which would declare a vacancy for a trustee seat. Trustees were also scheduled to discuss the process and next steps for filling the vacancy and to consider candidate appointments.

A regularly scheduled Board of Trustees meeting on July 15, 2026, had all agenda items cancelled, according to the posted agenda. No decisions or discussions took place at that session.

Minutes for both board meetings have not yet been published, so final outcomes — including whether the vacancy was formally declared and whether any candidates were appointed — cannot be confirmed from available records.

Planning & Zoning Commission Reviews Barefoot Lakes Filing 5 Amendment

The Planning and Zoning Commission met on July 16, 2026, to hold a public hearing on Resolution PC-26-02, regarding Barefoot Lakes, Filing 5, 2nd Amendment Preliminary Plat. The agenda indicated the commission would consider a resolution recommending approval for the second amendment to the preliminary plat.

Barefoot Lakes is a named development project in Firestone. A preliminary plat amendment typically involves changes to the layout or design of a planned subdivision before final construction plans are approved. Whether the commission voted to recommend approval is not yet known, as minutes have not been published.

Board of Adjustment Considers Sidewalk Variance Denial

Also on July 16, 2026, the Board of Adjustment met to act on Resolution BOA-26-01, which concerned denying a sidewalk variance request for the property at 10300 E I-25 Frontage Rd.

A variance is a request to relax a specific town requirement — in this case, a sidewalk-related rule. The agenda listed the resolution as a denial of that request. Whether the board ultimately voted to adopt the resolution is not confirmed, as minutes are not yet available.

What This Means for Residents

The board vacancy affects representation on Firestone's five-member Board of Trustees, which sets town policy and approves budgets. Residents interested in the appointment process should watch for published minutes or contact Town Hall for updates.

The Barefoot Lakes Filing 5 amendment, if approved, could affect the layout of future homes or infrastructure in that development. The sidewalk variance at 10300 E I-25 Frontage Rd relates to whether a property owner must comply with the town's sidewalk requirements at that location.

Coming Up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents should check the Town of Firestone's official website for any newly posted agendas or schedule changes.
