ALLENSPARK (KWGN) — People in the small mountain town of Allenspark are drawing up the battle lines.
The controversy began when Jeff Mead wanted to open an ATV rental store there.
But nearby neighbors complained about the noise and enviromental impact.
Margie Patterson says Mead's clients have damaged pristine private land, a claim Mead dismisses.
The Boulder County Planning Commission recently denied the businessman a special-use permit to open his business.
So Mead put out a banner on his building which reads,"Patterson's XXX Porn Gallery".
Mead said he's serious about opening the adult store to make money since he was denied a permit to open his rental shop.
Patterson and other residents claim the move is childish and in poor taste.
Mead says he hopes to open the porn gallery by August
