Agenda Review. Director Dush reviewed the Consent and Discussion agenda. Of special note at
staff's request, Item 2, Eagle View Third Annexation and Zoning, # 38-08 will be continued to the
January 15, 2009 P&Z Hearing.
Citizen participation:
Cheryl Distaso, Coordinator of the Center for Justice, Peace & the Environment (a local non-profit),
was asked to speak to the Board on behalf of Betty Aragon and the Buckingham neighborhood. Their
concerns are related to noise sources: activities at the New Belgium Brewery (including movie night)
and the proposed Bohemian's open air amphitheater (across the street from the Buckingham
neighborhood) where concerts are being considered seven nights a week. Neighbors taking showers
can now hear movie dialogues in their homes. There are also concerns about the changes proposed
with the Downtown Cultural District which will allow the decibel levels to go up. She's been working
with Senior Planner Ted Shepard who has been very helpful about sharing information. She's here
tonight to encourage the Board to be "ultra transparent' with the process —it's important to keep the
neighborhood in the loop on what she thinks will be a controversial topic. She looks forward to
working with the Board throughout this process.
Chair Schmidt was happy that Ted Shepard was a good source of information. She invited Ms.
Distaso or neighborhood representatives to attend the Boards work sessions held the 2"d Friday of
each month from noon to 3 p.m. at 281 N. College Conference Room A. Schmidt noted that public
feedback is not available at work sessions but it would be a good place for getting updates.
Jay Stoner, Wooded Creek Court, said he fundamentally wants to publicly object to the City of Fort
Collins Eagle View Third Annexation annexing a portion of his property that runs along Kechter Road
between Strauss Cabin Road and 1-25 and a portion of his property along Strauss Cabin Road.
Member Rollins noted that during the December work session the Board was not made aware the
annexation affected Mr. Stoner's property. Because Eagle View Third Annexation is being continued,
she asked for updated information at the January work session.
Chair Schmidt asked members of the audience and the Board if they'd like to pull any items from the
Consent Agenda. No one made a request to pull consent agenda items.
