The newly built county building also features a room adjacent to the commissioners\u2019 meeting room where overflow attendees can view the meeting via TV screens that will likely be available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Residents of Woody Creek and Brush Creek Village packed the room for two Pitkin County Planning and Zoning meetings in July and August, when commission members eventually voted 4-1 to recommend the proposal to the county board. Most residents of those two areas were not in favor of the project.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Pitkin County commissioners will get the final say on the proposal.
