Kanye West denied permit for amphitheater on Wyoming ranch

[TexasTowelie]

CODY (AP) — Kanye West has been denied a permit to build an amphitheater on his ranch in Wyoming.

The Park County Planning and Zoning Commission made the decision Tuesday after the rapper changed his plans for the structure near Cody.

West told county officials he now wants to include residential space.

The Cody Enterprise reports that county officials also object to West already having done considerable work at the site. They told West’s representatives to stop work immediately.

1. Kanye is about to learn about the stubbornness, independence and general disdain for celebrity

in the Wyoming. I am not at ALL surprised. Good on them. Go back to LA where your fake EVERYTHING plays better.

2. Wow. This is what happens when arrogance & ignorance collide. I'm glad the commission

shut it down. It's unbelievable what "his people" tried to get away with even before the permits were issued. I hope they can minimize the damage. I'm so goddamned tired of that whole Kardashian/Kanye sideshow.

From the article:

Also drawing outrage from the commission was considerable construction work had already started on the project, despite not receiving any permitting yet for the work. Although some earth work prior to development is allowed, the county felt this work far passed that limit. “That activity absolutely needs to stop,” Hill said. “We’re talking about significant ground movement and impact.”

Pictures included in application documents posted online last week showed Harris Construction cranes and haulers pushing dirt and excavating through a now flat plain on West’s property. Putney requested a cease and desist order be sent out to enforce this.

Wyoming Game and Fish recommended on the original application that West not be allowed to perform construction from Nov. 15-April 30 due to the land being habitat for mule deer and other big game animals.

Kane Morris, a principal with Point Architects, spoke on behalf of West and apologized multiple times for the last-second change, but said West was being considerate in the fact he was completely forthcoming the minute he changed his mind about the project. Unfortunately, it just so happened it was at the last minute.
