The Fremont County Commissioners dealt with a brief agenda of business at their July 14th regular meeting reappointing two members of the Building Code Board of Appeals and approving a pair of temporary use permits.
The Board voted to reappoint Tim Payne and Francis Williams to three year terms on the Fremont County Building Code Board of Appeals. The board meets only when someone files an appeal of a decision by the Building Department Official and occasionally through the year for training sessions.
The Commissioners approved a temporary use permit for the annual Fall Harvest event at Happy Apple Farms at 1190 First Street in Penrose. Tony Ferrara said folks would be able to take part in picking fresh blackberries, raspberries, and other crops. They will also have hayrides, smoked brisket served on weekends, and a pick-your-own pumpkin patch. The event is scheduled every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from August 8th through October 31st.
The Commissioners also approved a temporary use permit for the Crossroads Event Center at Highways 50 and 115 at Penrose. The permit allows a used car sale on the property from August 10th through August 15th. Spradley Motors of Pueblo is expected to have up to 150 used cars on site for the sale. Property owner Dr. James Pickart said he does not want to alienate local Fremont County car dealers with the sale and that if he schedules any future sales on the property he intends to invite multiple dealers to participate.
A public hearing was conducted on a hotel and restaurant liquor license for the Mountain View Trading Post along Highway 50 at the top of Eight Mile Hill west of Canon City. The restaurant will now have a menu limited to pizzas and sub sandwiches and is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. There was no public comment and the Commissioners voted to approve the liquor license.
