RESOLUTION NO. 29 CONT'D JANE BOSTWICK JAMES CEDERBERG 1307 FRANKLIN CT. MAJORIE MAAGOE 1132 JEFFERSON KAREN MULHOLLAND 1332 SO. BLDR. RD. STAFF REMARKS Minutes - page 5 September 18, 1980 She felt that the issues and agreement should be discussed prior to public dis- cussion. She stated that Council should look for better ways to use agricultural - open space designated land instead of commercial uses. Mr. Cederberg, stated that one of the City's main selling points has been to provide open space. Mr. Cederberg stated that the Council should study the list of activities scheduled for the fairgrounds. He noted teen acti- vities and asked if that included rock concerts; also noted was the noise from a tractor pull. Ms. Maagoe, 1132 Jefferson, spoke against the request as she felt it was not good for commercial ventures to be put in open space and agricultural zoned land. She stated that she was not opposed to the request, but had two questions. 1. What about undermining on the site. 2. Why can't the Pow Wow use the Boulder County fairgrounds. Mr. Rupp stated that at the Planning Commission meeting the concern voiced was on the use of open space. He stated that he has since received a copy of the Boulder County Comprehensive Plan and under section 4-12 permitted uses in agricultural and open space include re- creational facilities, such as fairgrounds. Under the City 1975 Comp Plan the open space issue addresses preserving natural veatures ie. stream beds, and lakes, Mr. Rupp noted that the City was not destroying those types of natural features and also stated that in view of the Boulder County Comp Plan and City Comp Plan, the Pow Wow use is not in violation, nor is it in violation of the City zoning codes. Mr. Rupp also pointed out that the request is reasonable use of the ground and consis- tent with the character of the agricultural zone and staff is in support of the appli- cation.
