This letter is to provide you with notice of Weld County's intent to certify certain liens on your
property to the Weld County Treasurer. As you know, the County Court found your property to be in
violation of the Weld County Code — specifically, the noncommercial junkyard shall be restored, removed
or completely screened from all adjacent properties and public rights -of -ways and any trash shall be
removed as screening is not an option for the trash. Additionally, the number of animal units shall be
reduced to three (3) or fewer due to the amount of acreage (7.5).
On October 17, 2012, the Court granted the County's Motion for Daily Penalties, finding that
your property was still in violation of the Weld County Code, and ordered you to pay a daily penalty of
$10.00, beginning on September 26, 2012, and continuing until the zoning violation is removed from the
property. (Court Order attached). Upon information and belief, the zoning violation still exists on your
property.
At public hearing on Wednesday, May 29, 2013, at 9:00 a.m. the Weld County Board of County
Commissioners will determine whether to certify these daily penalties to the Weld County Treasurer in
accordance with Weld County Code §23-10-40.A. The Board will consider whether to certify the daily
penalties for the period between September 26, 2012 and May 29, 2013, for a total of 246 days. Please
note that the daily penalty will continue to accrue until the property is brought into compliance with the
Weld County Code.
The total request at the hearing will be $2,460.00. Such lien would have priority over all other
security interests, except for taxes. In addition to the $2,460.00, the Weld County Treasurer's fee may
increase the lien by 10%, as permitted by law. You may avoid this hearing and the Treasurer's fee by
paying the full amount to Weld County prior to the hearing. Please feel free to contact me with any
questions.
Respectfully,
Cc
Bob Choate
Assistant Weld County Attorney
