problems on South Greeley Highway with the length of
the towed load with a large tow truck carrying a semi-
tractor. Douglas Wilson, representing the SCCDA, stated
they do welcome new businesses, but that this business is

years in the business. He assured those in attendance that
he is not going to tow trucks onto this property, but if he
had to, they would be placed inside the building. In
response to questions from Commissioner Woodhouse, Mr.
Hansen stated he was more than willing to comply with
any conditions required, included fencing along the front
or landscaping. He also stated that this is subject to a
traffic study, which would address any issues with the
length of the trucks. Commissioner Humphrey asked Mr.
Hansen about working with the SCCDA to locate a
different location for this activity. Mr. Hansen stated he
was willing to look at other locations; however, he met
with the County Planning Department twice before he
spent $250,000 on this property and believed the property
was approved for this use. Commissioner Woodhouse
moved to deny the application for a Board Approval for
Rocky Mountain Towing, Lot 3, Fanning Subdivision.
Commissioner Humphrey seconded the motion, which
passed unanimously. Documentation is filed in central
files with the County Clerk.
