BUSINESS:
NEW: CONSIDER RENEWAL OF TAVERN LIQUOR LICENSE, WITH EXTENDED HOURS,
FOR HENRY L. WALKER, DBA BEARS SPORTS SALOON, AND AUTHORIZE
CHAIRMAN TO SIGN: Bruce Barker, County Attorney, noted the nine
responses that were reported by the Greeley/Weld County Criminal
Justice Records Center and stated a copy of said report was
given to the applicant through his attorney, Chuck Dixon.
Robbie Korgan-Reed, Sheriff's Department, briefly reviewed each
incident. Mr. Dixon described each incident and explained one
employee was involved in four of the incidents, even though he
was not working at the time of two of the incidents.
Commissioner Harbert questioned why the period from July 1993 to
the present shows a marked increase in the number of calls
received and whether there was any change in management or
policies at that time. Henry Walker, owner, responded that the
only change was that school starts in August causing increased
business, and consequently more incidents. Responding to
Commissioners Kirkmeyer and Hall, Mr. Walker stated the employee
involved was placed on probation after the second incident
because he was not handling matters as well as he should, and he
was told to refrain from interfering when others are arguing.
Mr. Walker explained the employee was directed to tend bar only,
not act as a bouncer, and stated he is allowed into the bar as
a patron. After further discussion, Mr. Dixon reiterated the
bar is not providing a bouncer anymore and asked the Board to
consider the 20 years Mr. Walker has been in business with no
negative reports. After further discussion to explore the
possible reasons for the increased incidents reported in July
and possible solutions to the problem, including uniformed
employees or off-duty Sheriff's Deputies, Commissioner Harbert
stated she could not vote to renew the license without
conditions being attached. Commissioner Hall stated he would
like more information regarding the problem and possible
solutions and moved to set this matter for hearing. The motion
was seconded by Commissioner Harbert. Mr. Barker asked for a
date specific and April 18, 1994, at 11:00 a.m. was included in
the motion upon approval from Commissioners Hall and Harbert.
Mr. Dixon stated there are no grounds, under State statute, for
a Show Cause Hearing to be set, and he pointed out specific
reasons need to be given. He stated the Board cannot set a
hearing only on the issue of how to establish security and
management of the bar. Mr. Barker disagreed and stated a
hearing may be held at the discretion of the local licensing
authority. On roll call vote, the motion carried three to two,
with Commissioners Kirkmeyer and Webster voting against the
motion.
CONSIDER APPOINTMENTS TO AREA AGENCY ON AGING ADVISORY BOARD:
Commissioner Harbert moved to appoint Grace LeBlanc and Pedro
Rucobo to the Area Agency on Aging Advisory Board, with terms to
expire January 31, 1997. Seconded by Commissioner Baxter, the
motion carried unanimously.
PLANNING: CONSIDER SECONDED AMENDED RE #256 - GRUEN: Greg Thompson,
Department of Planning Services, reviewed the unfavorable
recommendation of staff. Reviewing the history of prior
recorded exemptions requested by the applicant, Mr. Thompson
stated RE #256 was approved in April 1977 which created two
parcels of 136 acres and 17 acres. In 1986, Subdivision
Exemption #290 was used in conjunction with Amended RE #256 to
exclude an 8-acre parcel from Lot B. An application for a
recorded exemption to create two parcels of 109 acres and 19
acres was denied in 1988. The request under consideration at
present is the second amendment for RE #256, and requests the
shrinking of Lot B to 48 acres. Lot A would remain 17 acres and
an additional 80-acre parcel would be created. Ronald Gruen,

applicant, stated the land is presently being farmed and
explained each of the previous land splits. He purchased the
property in 1986 and the land split at that time allowed him to
sell the 8-acre parcel, which included improvements, because of
a financial hardship. His application in 1988 to divide another
19 acres to sell was to finance the construction of a home. Mr.
Gruen stated the 80-acre parcel was sold upon the advice of his
lawyer, Fred Otis, and the present owner recently applied for a
building permit, which was denied since it is an illegal lot.
(Changed to Tape #94-15 while Mr. Gruen was speaking. ) Mr.
Barker responded to questions from Commissioner Baxter stating
regardless of the conveyance, an illegal lot was created with
the sale. He explained 80 acres is normally a legal lot;
however, because of RE #256, Lot B now requires an amendment to
become legal and approval of Second Amended RE #256 would split
Lot B into two legal lots. Responding to Commissioner Hall, Mr.
Gruen stated he tried to sell the 128-acre parcel; however, he
had no qualified buyers interested. Therefore, he sold 80
acres. There was no public testimony concerning this matter.
After further discussion, Commissioner Baxter moved to deny the
request, and Commissioner Kirkmeyer seconded the motion. On a
roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND
ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
consent agenda. There were no ordinances.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions
were attested to and respectfully submitted by the Acting Clerk
to the Board.
There being no further business, this meeting was adjourned at
10:20 a.m.
