Board approves special‑use permit for construction equipment storage (609 Ranch) with conditions
Summary
A special‑use permit allowing construction equipment storage on a 10‑acre parcel near Granby (609 Ranch) was approved for a one‑year term with 12 conditions; applicant said the site is tidy and the original complaint was an anonymous phone call.
The board approved a one‑year special‑use permit for a property about 2 miles from Granby to allow a construction business and heavy equipment storage on a 10‑acre lot.
Community development planner Hannah Mahorney described the application and recommended approval with 12 conditions, including a requirement that all storage be kept at least 60 feet from irrigation ditches, best management practices for fueling and cleaning, dark‑sky compliant outdoor lighting, and a prohibition on expanding the business beyond the permit. The planning commission recommended unanimous approval.
Applicant Garrick told the board the property is used for a front‑end loader and skid steer for agricultural tasks and said the neighborhood has cleaned up over the past three years; staff noted the complaint that initiated review came via an anonymous phone call. A commissioner moved to approve the permit with the listed conditions and the board voted in favor.
