Review of Conditional Use Permit for Woodloch Stables Woodloch Stables has a conditional use permit to allow the operation of rodeos, overnight camping in association with the rodeos, and operation of a tack shop on property located at 5676 170th St N. The conditional use permit was approved on June 5, 2000 and subject to renewal/review on June 2, 2005. On August 30, 2008 there was an event held at Woodloch Stables for a Latin-American/ Mexican Rodeo. During this event there were several violations of the conditional use permit. Staff discussed with owner of the property Dan Ramberg methods which may prevent such issues in the future. The solution that staff and Dan had agreed upon was an application/agreement for anyone who rents the property in the future. This agreement would inform the applicant of certain terms and conditions in which they would be responsible, as well as upholding the conditions stated in the conditional use permit. Dan asked the Council for forgiveness for the poorly managed rodeo on August 30 and informed the Council the Latin-American/Mexican Rodeo would not be allowed back. He explained the Dead Broke Saddle Club raised funds through the rodeos held on the property, and the Saddle Club contributed to the community. Miron made motion, Puleo seconded, to accept the review of the Conditional Use Permit for Woodloch Stables and allow for the continued operation of the Rodeo Arena. All ayes. Motion carried.

If the stimulus package was approved, there would be an application process. City Engineer Jay Kennedy
