traffic. He suggested that putting water on the roads is counter -productive and magnesium chloride
would be more effective. He cited specific intersections which are dangerous due lack of visibility
caused by dust and also requested more frequent grading. He estimated there are more than 400

OLD BUSINESS:
1) CONSIDER PUBLIC FACILITIES AGREEMENT FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK
GRANT FOR WELD COUNTY ESPANOLA SUBDIVISION AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN
(CON'T FROM 7/15/2013): Monica Mika, Director of Finance and Administration, recommended
approval. Chair Garcia said this has been a complicated process for a community with a lot of
infrastructure needs. Commissioner Kirkmeyer noted that the county needs to complete this project in
a timely manner because Community Development Block Grants are not easy to follow through on, and
she does not want the road project to be sidelined by other concerns. Chair Garcia said that the City of
Greeley and Greeley Water are working on improvements while the road is being worked on and are in
contact, and Commissioner Kirkmeyer said she was worried, because they sometimes take a lot of time
to get things done. Commissioner Rademacher moved to approve said grant agreement and authorize
Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Conway, the motion carried unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS:
1) CONSIDER PROPOSAL AND APPROVE TRANSFER OF TAX LIEN SALE CERTIFICATES -
COLORADO RECOVERY PROPERTIES LTD. II PARTNERSHIP: John LeFabvre, Treasurer,
explained these are three separate units in the same building, under the common ownership of
BeeHive Homes, and the 2007 tax bill went unpaid. He said a tax lien transferred over $10,000.00 to a
new investor, which needs the Commissioners approval. This transaction would get $52,000 of taxes
paid up. In response to Commissioner Garcia, Mr. LeFabvre clarified this is not a tax deed, but a
transfer of the lien, and noted these are not being sold at a discount. Commissioner Conway moved to
approve said proposal and transfer of tax lien sale certificates. The motion, which was seconded by
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, carried unanimously.
2) CONSIDER VETERANS SERVICE OFFICERS MONTHLY REPORT AND CERTIFICATIONS
OF PAY FOR JUNE 2013 AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN: Toby Taylor, Veterans Officer,
recommended approval of the June report. Commissioner Conway moved to approve said report and
certification of pay and authorize Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion
carried unanimously.

PLANNING:
el 1) CONSIDER IMPROVEMENTS AGREEMENT ACCORDING TO POLICY REGARDING
COLLATERAL FOR IMPROVEMENTS (ON -SITE ONLY), AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN, AND
ACCEPT COLLATERAL FOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FINAL PLAT, PF#1079 - SCHRAGE
LIVING TRUST, BY THEODORE SCHRAGE, TRUSTEE: Michelle Martin, Department of Planning
Services, said she has received a performance bond for the improvements at the Meadows Estates
Subdivision; it has been reviewed by staff and the amount, $189,150.00, is sufficient to complete the
improvements. Commissioner Conway moved to approve said improvements agreement, authorize the
Chair to sign and accept the collateral. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, and it
carried unanimously.
2) CONSIDER REQUEST TO AMEND A CONDITION OF APPROVAL AND EXTEND THE
DATE TO RECORD THE PLAT FOR A MINOR AMENDMENT TO SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT
PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT, MUSR12-0005 (FKA USR-950), FOR A LIVESTOCK
CONFINEMENT OPERATION (1,000 -HEAD DAIRY FACILITY) IN THE A (AGRICULTURAL) ZONE
DISTRICT - PHIL JR. AND MARYANN PENNOCK: Chris Gathman, Department of Planning Services,
said this USR permit was approved by the Board in June of last year. The applicant is requesting that
Condition of Approval #2.A, "applicant shall apply for a sewage permit", be moved and put in as
Development Standard #39 (as renumbered). He said changes of business conditions have delayed
construction of the milk parlor, so this will allow them to proceed with recording the plat.
El Troy Swain, Department of Public Health and Environment, stated permits are required regardless
of the conditions of the USR, so this change is not a problem. He said they have a septic permit in
place to recieve a certificate of occupancy. Glen Chaplewski, representing the Pennock family, said
moving this construction -related Condition of Approval to a Development Standard will help facilitate
the prompt recording of this plat; ideally they would like to have the full three years to commence the
use. a Peter Koclanes said this was historically a poultry farm and he opposed the change of use to
a dairy. Chair Garcia explained this matter has already been approved, so this is just a matter of
extending a deadline. Mr. Koclanes said he is against any type of continuance. He said an old dairy
farm with continued problems operates next to this site and he is concerned that they cannot design an
adequate waste system. PC Agnes Enright said she owns property to the east and neither she nor
her neighbors recieved any notice. Commissioner Conway said that several neighbors did attend the
hearing held June 27, 2012. El Judy Workman said she did not receive notice either and is
adamantly opposed. The Board explained that properties within 500 feet of the boundaries of that site
are noticed and there is a yellow sign posted on the property 10 days before the hearing and published
in the paper of record. In addition, evidence of proper notification is required for the hearing. Ms.
Workman said that a 1,000 -head dairy should be noticed to the community farther away than 500 feet.
Mr. Chaplewski noted that the septic system referenced at this time is for the humans working
there; there is a wastewater system for the cattle. He said he can't speak to the issue of notice. Mr.
Chaplewski noted that the equivalent number of turkeys (prior use) to cows would have been 1,700
head, so this project has a reduced impact. Mr. Gathman related that there were actually two noticies
sent out before this hearing last year based on the assesors tax and assessment records. The Board
concurred that nothing was being deleted, only delayed, and therefore approval of this request seems
reasonable. ta Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve said amendment and extension.
Commissioner Rademacher seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
Consent Agenda. No Ordinances were approved.
