I’m no big fan, make that really no big fan, of the Boulder County government or the commissioners. That said, they seem on solid ground in their ruling to shut down Pagan Apparel at their present location.
The owner of Pagan Apparel, Michael O’Brien, either doesn’t understand what a conservation easement is, or doesn’t understand how Boulder County operates.
O’Brien, who’s been battling the county for more than a year and had already scaled back his operation to try to qualify his business as a permitted “home occupation,” declined comment when asked by a reporter what he plans to do next.
“I’m a little shocked, actually,” O’Brien said.
It seems the county is being fairly reasonable, giving him until December 31st to relocate.
