It appears that neighbors and local businesses -which will be directly impacted by this
development-have been denied fair, rightful and timely access to the discussion and planning
process. A large scale facility as currently proposed (including their stated expansion plans) will
have a wide range of direct health, congestion, environmental and safety impacts within the
immediate community.
A facility of such scale as proposed by the brewing company, cannot legally comply with
Colorado State liquor laws and licensing, which insist on a 500-foot setback from any school.
I implore to you readdress this issue as a planning board and vote against any amendment to the
current land use code within office parks that singularly and unfairly benefits brewers, distiller
sand vintners.
Respectfully,
Suzanne Balog
Dear Ms. Johnson, Mr. Shoemaker, Ms. Powell, Mr. Holicky, Ms. Young, Mr. Plass, and Mr.
Brockett,
I am a parent of two children at Boulder Country Day School in Gunbarrel. We were just
informed this morning that Avery Brewing Company has a contract on 2 lots of land directly
west of the BCD Campus. Overall, I am strongly opposed to having this type of establishment in
such close proximity to the school. I have a few concerns regarding the amendment for the land
use code for this property. There has been no attempt to notify anyone regarding the amendment
to the code other than the brewer, distiller, or vintner. Secondly, the City has established goals
for the Land Use Code amendment analysis: 1) minimize impacts to adjacent residents and
businesses; and, 2) align the Land Use Code with state liquor laws and licensing. We have not
seen the City undertake an analysis of either or both goals.
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter,
Regards,
Susan Brooker
Dear Members of the Boulder Planning Board,
We are City of Boulder residents, and the parents of 2 children who attend Boulder Country Day
School at 4820 Nautilus Court in Boulder.
We are very concerned about the possible amendment of the Land Use Code that would permit
the operation of a restaurant, in connection with a brewery, in an industrial/business park. We
are alarmed that the proposed Land Use Code amendment would be reviewed at a planning
board meeting without provisions that would protect our schools by requiring that the location of
such an operation be at least 500 feet away. Please consider undergoing a detailed analysis of
the impact the proposal would have on adjacent businesses and residents, especially schools.
