PINEDALE — After High Mountain Real Estate owner Chase Harber’s appointment to the Sublette County Planning and Zoning Commission, citizens at public meetings question whether or not Harber has a “conflict of interest” in voting o approve developer Jason Moyes’ Forty Rod West preliminary plat.
They have pointed out that Harber publicly supported Moyes’ subdivision before his appointment and asked if Moyes and Harber might have a deeper, biased business relationship. The Harber family sold Moyes property in the Bloomfield Addition, including his Pronghorn Crossing subdivision in the town of Pinedale.
P&Z Commission Chair Chris Lacinak explained Oct. 17 that Harber wouldn’t abstain from voting on Moyes’ application, but the possibility was raised.
Harber later wrote: “I don’t share any business dealings with the Moyes. I represented my father (John Harber) in Jason’s purchase of their BloomField properties several years ago. I disclosed and discussed with the P&Z board prior to the (Oct. 17) meeting as Mr. Lacinak explained, and they were in agreement that there was no conflict or grounds for recusal.”
