Youth <strong>of</strong> today have so many complex issues to address - it is my hope that as a community we<br />
can find ways to support all <strong>of</strong> our children as they learn to navigate the world and make<br />
thoughtful, responsible decisions. With this potential amendment, that could seem like only a<br />
minor edit <strong>of</strong> local code to many people, let us all give thoughtful attention to focus on the best<br />
interest <strong>of</strong> children as they are our future.<br />
What may seem like an insignificant issue <strong>of</strong> simply allowing alcohol to be served in the close<br />
proximity <strong>of</strong> <strong>Boulder</strong> County schools (and really beyond that geography) can have unintended<br />
consequences. There are many studies that show exposure to basic alcohol logos and basic<br />
branding increases under-age drinking. Let <strong>Boulder</strong> County be a leader in our nation in<br />
terms <strong>of</strong> establishing solid, effective municipal codes that ensure the safety <strong>of</strong> school<br />
children while also encouraging our economy to thrive.<br />
Please do not allow alcohol serving establishments and the marketing that comes along with<br />
them to be within a close proximity <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Boulder</strong> County schools. . . . may we set the<br />
standards for the entire US as we work to help set safety standards for our children in Colorado.<br />
Thank you for all you do in your roles on the Planning Board.<br />

Dear Planning Board Members,<br />
I recognize that you are in the midst <strong>of</strong> reviewing the viability <strong>of</strong> a brewery across from <strong>Boulder</strong><br />
Country Day. I would like to add my voice to discourage this moving forward. I'm a BCD<br />
parent so naturally am concerned about the plans for a restaurant/brewery/tap room across the<br />
street from my 7-year old's school for a great many common-sense reasons, which probably don't<br />
need to be listed (however, am happy to do so if you feel it would be helpful for the record).<br />
Thank you for your open minds and open doors on this critical issue.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Natalie Rekstad-Lynn<br />
Planning Board,<br />
I am emailing today to voice my concern about a potential land use code amendment that would<br />
allow a tap room, tasting room, tavern and/or restaurant in the immediate vicinity <strong>of</strong> <strong>Boulder</strong><br />
County schools.<br />
My understanding <strong>of</strong> current zoning regulations is that restaurants (establishments who sell food<br />
or drink for consumption on the premises) are permitted in industrial zones but that taverns<br />
(establishment who sell alcoholic beverages at retail for consumption on the premises as the<br />
