Suzy Ageton George Karakehian KC Becker Tim ... - City of Boulder

Dear Council Members:
I am writing as a concerned parent and Boulder country resident. You are considering allowing
Avery Brewery build a tap room across the street from an established school. There is usually a
500 foot buffer zone between a school and brewery but tap or tasting rooms have an unfair
exemption from this ruling. A tap / tasting room is used the same way for alcohol consumption
and should not be near a school zone with little kids being picked up with the possibility of a car
accident when someone is drinking and driving. This exemption should not be allowed. BCD
was present before Avery bought this land. Please use common sense and act as if your child
was attending this school.
"Booze and kids don’t mix!"
Sincerely,

Dear Council,
We request that you change the land use code for breweries to include language that requires a
500 ft. buffer from schools.
Thank you,
Chris and Michele Burke
Dear City Council,
I recognize that you are in the midst of reviewing the viability of a brewery across from Boulder
Country Day. I would like to add my voice to discourage this moving forward. I'm a BCD
parent so naturally am concerned about the plans for a restaurant/brewery/tap room across the
street from my 7-year old's school for a great many common-sense reasons, which probably don't
need to be listed (however, am happy to do so if you feel it would be helpful for the record).
Thank you for your open minds and open doors on this critical issue.
Sincerely,
Natalie Rekstad-Lynn

Brewery has put a purchase contract on to build its new brewery and restaurant.
