Finally, NLGC asserts that Donnelly's behavior during a Board <br /> hearing proves that he was actually biased. In support, it points to <br /> his comment that people can "co-exist" with gravel pits, and his <br /> objection to a 500 foot physical setback and truck routing via State <br /> Highway 287. <br /> These arguments are unavailing. Viewed in context, <br /> Donnelly's "co-exist" comment was made as part of a larger <br /> statement about the ability of a community to co-exist with gravel <br /> pits — as his Loveland community, in his view, had done. The <br /> subjective weighing of such community compatibility is a <br /> requirement of Land Use Code section 4.5.3, and NLGC's <br /> arguments contending otherwise are misplaced. Relatedly, his <br /> thwarting of the 500 foot setback and alternative route is otherwise <br /> explainable, most notably because they were not practically <br /> feasible. All told, NLGC's claimed evidence of bias does not support <br /> an inference that these actions reflect actual bias — let alone prove <br /> actual bias beyond a reasonable doubt, as NLGC was required to <br /> do.
