site map of event location including port-a potties and handwashing stations Point of clarification: This venue can hold up to 220 people, but only 100 attendees are expected at this specific event.
4. Date Submitted: 09/12/2023
To clarify, the tent on the venue site can hold up to 220 guests. This Giddy Up at the Grove event will have no more than 100 maximum, with projection of 75 people in attendance. Are the site documents not loading or is it not clear where I have indicated the port a potties and handwashing stations? Please help me understand what else is required with hopes that the issue was around the number of people for the port a potties.

Food service will be provided by WesTex BBQ a certified food truck that operates in Larimer County and has potable water. There will be potable water brought to the site for service and water within the handwashing station. The entire private property will not be used, only a small parcel already dedicated, permitted, inspected and regularly utilized for weddings and events. Parcel has existing fencing, a road leading up to it, a lit path from the road to the venue, the venue will be well lit, and all personnel/staff will have lighting for guidance. This is an identified private wedding venue on private personal property and is set up for events. The port a potties are in place, as is the tent, fencing that outlines the perimeter and the site map shows parking down the road and identifies the location of people that will be assisting with parking and monitoring tent/venue exits so as no alcohol is taken outside of the existing perimeters. Additional sandwich board signage will be used in 3 locations showing the perimeter and place where alcohol must not be brought. There will be parking attendants supporting parking along the road indicated in the site maps for the entirety of the event, including one hour prior and 30 minutes after. I've provided the site maps in hard copy form with the original application at the County building and I've attached them as photos to a direct email to Denise, and I've attached them here. There was some trouble in accessing the documents so please let me know if they are visible.

Hello, I found more information regarding the port a potties. There are four stalls in total. The property is a summer camp that has a wedding and event venue in the off season. The total property is many acres, but the venue is contained to a small area the size of a soccer field. The Cheley contact that coordinates events is Kim Betts. Her email is kim@cheley.com. I am coordinating the event on behalf of the nonprofit. I am the Executive Director. Also, our liquor license has been issued. Thank you, Laurie
