Resolution 2010-010 Amending the Temporary Regulations to Limit the Location of Medical Marijuana Dispensaries within Unincorporated Eagle County Bob Narracci, Community Development Mr. Narracci presented some maps demonstrating the recent changes. There would be 500-foot separators from the dispensary site to the property boundary of the dissimilar uses. Those dissimilar uses included any residences, church or religious institutions, any drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility, any public community center, or publicly owned or maintained building used by the general public, any public or private school, any public park or playground, or any licensed childcare facility. The 500-foot maps indicated the permitted areas where dispensaries could be located. In areas such as E1 Jebel and Basalt, there were no areas where dispensaries could operate. As of last week, both Planning Commissions recommended approval of the draft regulations. The regulations would be coming to the board for a decision on February 23rd. Chairman Fisher wondered what would happen if the dispensaries currently open closed their doors or changed ownership. Mr. Narracci stated that a non-conformity could not expand, so if the business were to close, the non- conformity would go away. He was uncertain about the change of ownership. Chairman Fisher opened public comment. Ann Nicole spoke on behalf of a group of doctors hoping to open a dispensary and pain treatment center. She believed the new regulations were limiting and the group was having difficulty finding a location in Eagle County. Mr. Narracci added that if one of the dispensaries locates within an actual medical center or medical clinic as defined in the resolution the separation distance could be decreased to 200 feet. Chairman Fisher thanked Ms. Nicole for her input. She believed that there were opportunities in the valley and surrounding areas and hoped that her and her clients would be successful in finding a location. Chairman Fisher closed public comment.

Of the two voting Commissioners, the vote was declared unanimous. 2 01/26/2010 Resolution 2010-011 Adopting the Eagle County Governing Document of the Board of County Commissioners, County Manager, and County Attorney Keith Montag, County Manager Mr. Montag stated that he was pleased with the creation of the document. The document clarified the roles and responsibilities of his position as well as the county attorney and board of county commissioners. He believed the document would be useful and was state of the art for a governmental entity. The model itself allowed the board of county commissioners to be the visionaries, policy makers and set the stage for the entire organization. It outlined the authority of the board of county commissioners and delegated the authority to the county manager and county attorney's day-to-day activities. The document contained a set of policies, operational agreements, and board and staff linkages. One of the key components was the roles and responsibilities matrix which identified the roles and responsibilities of various player in the decision making process at the executive level.
