Boulder County Holds Open Houses July/Aug. 2015
Identifying possible designated shooting areas is a key element of the strategy of the Northern Front Range Recreational Sports Shooting Management Partnership (Partnership). Boulder County held three open houses to discuss these issues and put forth three potential sites. The meetings were held in Nederland, Boulder and Allenspark.
The meetings were open house-style with multiple stations set up for interested citizens to obtain information and provide comments. There was no scheduled presentation, instead, a two-way conversation was encouraged between residents and staff members/leadership.
A table with information about the preliminary criteria that was used to select the areas was set up for attendees to view. There were also a stations displaying maps of possible designated shooting areas currently under consideration. For this first round of possibilities, the areas include:
- Ruby Gulch
- West Magnolia
- Allenspark Dump (analysis and public involvement has been completed and is pending a decision)
- Bunce School Road
- Beaver Reservoir Road
Residents could also view a map which shows all of the sites in relation to one another as an overview. In addition, the Boulder County Land Use Department had a station to explain the process for amending the Land Use Code to include considerations of the appropriate size of a site, setbacks from neighboring properties, and health and safety protections.
Comment cards were readily available for residents to complete.
Comments submitted via email as of Sept. 15, 2015.
Comments submitted in writing at the July 20/21, and Aug. 6, 2015 open houses.
Open houses were held in June/July 2013 in Boulder, Clear Creek, Gilpin and Larimer Counties. The purpose of the open houses was to update the public and share preliminary criteria to identify potential opportunities for developed shooting areas in each county.
