Director Blanchard reviewed the procedures set forth in the Land Use Code for the
hearing.
Ted Shepard, Senior Planner gave a brief staff report stating that this project was a
request to amend the New Belgium Brewery to add 16 fermentation tanks to the north
side of the existing brewery located at 500 Linden Street at the northeast corner of
Linden Street and Buckingham Street. The tanks would exceed 40 feet in height.
Planner Shepard stated that the staff report contained an analysis of how this request
complies with the Land Use Code and stated that staff was recommending approval of
the project.
Director Blanchard asked about the tanks visibility over the building.
Merle Hayworth presented elevation drawings stating that the top of the brew house
and office area is 34 feet. He stated that these tanks would be behind the existing
tanks and the brewery portion of the building itself. They would be visible from a
distance but the closer you get to the building, the less visible they would become.
Angela Milewski with BHA Design gave the applicant's presentation. She stated there
would be no substantial changes to the existing building, parking and the drive layout.
She stated they have also added some additional evergreens for screening along the
perimeter of Buckingham and Linden Streets.
There was no public input.
Director Blanchard adjourned the hearing and stated that his decision would be
rendered in a couple of days.
