Willow Way Permaculture Classes approved

As I have previously posted, Willow Way Permaculture ran into some issues with zoning and neighbors.

It looks like they have now been resolved. Via the Boulder Weekly:

The board voted unanimously to give Parker permission to host the full number of class participants she had requested — 20 students for the adult workshops and 12 students for the kids sessions. The commissioners did, however, limit her to no more than 10 cars on her property at a time, in response to concerns about traffic, parking and pollution.

Willow Way PDC Hearing Scheduled

As I mentioned here, Willow Way Permaculture Design is running into some issues with the Boulder County Commissioners.

I received an email from Michelle Soule letting me know that the application had been pulled off the table and was set for a hearing.

From her email:

Willl [sic] WILLOW WAY PERMACULTURE be given permission to continue to teach Permaculture?

This question will be addressed by the Boulder County Commissioner's hearing at the Boulder County Court house at 3 pm on January 28 at the Boulder County Courthouse on Pearl between 13th and 14th.

You can review the application and supporting documents, including the 113 page staff recommendation (PDF) and decide whether you should send a letter of support or appear at the hearing.

Willow Way seeking variance to continue teaching permaculture

I'm a bit late to the party, but Zia Parker has posted a plea on her blog for people to contact Boulder County to support her Low (Limited) Impact Special Use Review. Here's her application documents. The application appears to be 'Tabled Indefinitely' at this time; I'm unclear as to why. I posted a comment asking about it.

It's fascinating (and a bit frustrating) to see the hoops Zia is jumping through and the level of detail required by the application process.
