Eagle Rock Brewery's Permit Brouhaha Bubbles On

Over a year ago, when we were first granted our Conditional Use Permit (to serve beer to the public for on-site and off-site consumption), a land-owner in the neighborhood appealed the decision, and protested our land-use request. Because of this appeal, we had to go through another public hearing to determine if the protester’s concerns were valid enough to overturn the decision and deny our Conditional Use Permit. The results of that public hearing were in our favor, and the protester’s appeal was denied. We were granted our Conditional Use Permit, but we were given an additional operating condition: After one year of operation, we would be required to come back in front of the Zoning Administrator for a “Plan Approval” to determine if we have been complying with our operating conditions, and if our land-use privileges should be revoked.

1) If you can come to the hearing to show your support, that would be great! The hearing is open to the public, so you’ll be welcome to say a few words if you choose. If not, no worries, we’d just love to see your faces and feel the moral support. 2) If you can’t come to the hearing, you can write a letter of support, call the Zoning Administration office and tell them your opinion, or post the notice for our hearing (or a link to this blog post) on your Twitter, Facebook, or Blogs and spread the word!
