6. Here, applicant CCDWP has pledged to seek out all necessary federal, state or <br />local permits or regulatory approvals. This assurance fully satisfies the current requirements of <br />state law. This Board lacks authority to require more. <br />GILPIN COUNTY'S PRIOR REGULATORY DISPUTES <br />WITH THIRD PARTY LANDOWNERS <br />HAVE NO BEARING ON THIS APPLICATION <br />7. Gilpin County also asks this Boazd to devote much of the upcoming hearing to <br />evidence of its purported longstanding regulatory disputes with landowners Phillip and Kathleen <br />Wolf. Gilpin County confesses that the Wolfs are neither the Applicant nor even parties to this <br />proceeding. But, despite this confession, Gilpin County continues to suggest this third party <br />character evidence relating to various zoning disputes and alleged prior bad acts by third parties <br />somehow bears on the pending application. <br />S. This Board should reject Gilpin County's efforts to divert attention from the <br />pending application with evidence of its alleged troubles with third parties. Nor should the <br />Board permit Gilpin County to smear the Applicant's reputation with evidence of purported <br />conduct by others. <br />9. Applicant CCDWP has pledged to seek out all necessary permits, including <br />county permits. This assurance satisfies the requirements of state law. Allowing Gilpin County <br />to go farther and challenge the credibility of this assurance with alleged third party character <br />evidence of purported prior bad acts of others, see Colorado Rule of Evidence 404, not only <br />strains credulity but also would divert attention from issues over which the Board truly has <br />jurisdiction and waste this Board's time. <br />3 <br />
