Summary

The Upper Blue Planning Commission voted Jan. 25 to continue consideration of a preliminary rezoning (PLN23-072) for the 20-acre Country Boy Mine property to its March 28, 2024 meeting. The proposal would rezone the parcel from A-1 to PUD to allow events, museum and limited visitor facilities.

The Upper Blue Planning Commission on Jan. 25 voted unanimously to continue consideration of a preliminary rezoning application for the Country Boy Mine property to the commission's March 28, 2024 meeting. Commissioner Dan Cleary moved to continue the matter; Commissioner Richard Holcroft seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

The application, listed as PLN23-072, requests preliminary rezoning of a roughly 20-acre parcel from A-1 to planned unit development (PUD). The filing enumerates a range of proposed uses, including community special events, a museum, mine tours, a bard [sic], animal keeping (donkeys), parking and existing accessory structures; recreational activities such as snowshoeing and hikes; a pavilion; a gift shop/check-in area; Ore Bin restoration; employee housing facilities; food truck service; a tubing facility and warming-hut/outhouse and improved bathroom and kitchen facilities. The agenda entry also notes an applicant contact or reference to Danny Teodoru and locates the property in the Upper Blue Basin.

The commission's minutes record that the meeting was called to order by Chair Keith Gallacher at 5:30 p.m. and that the commission approved the prior meeting's Summary of Motions for Dec. 28, 2023 as submitted. Commissioners recorded present were Keith Gallacher, Richard Holcroft, Dan Cleary, Emily Lawless, Ric Pocius, Allen Frechter and Paige Sims. Staff listed as present included Senior Planner Lindsay Hirsh, Susan Lee, Simon Corson and Suzanne Pugsley. No other new business or consent items were listed on the agenda.

Because the commission continued the application, no formal zoning action or conditions were adopted at the Jan. 25 session. The item is scheduled to return to the Upper Blue Planning Commission agenda on March 28, 2024 for further consideration, according to the recorded motion.
