The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated March 11, 2011, and duly published
March 16, 2011, in the Fort Lupton Press, a public hearing was conducted to consider the
request of Ken Wolf, for a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review
Permit#1773 for any Use Permitted as a Use by Right, Accessory Use, or Use by Special
Review in the Commercial or Industrial Zone Districts (flooring business), provided that the
property is not a lot in an approved or recorded subdivision plat or lots part of a map or plan filed
prior to adoption of any regulations controlling subdivision in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record.
Kim Ogle, Department of Planning Services, presented a brief summary of the proposal,
entered the favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission into the record as written,
and provided a brief description of the site and the surrounding land uses. Mr. Ogle stated all of
the employees, of the proposed flooring business, are subcontractors who drive their own
vehicles to the site. He stated the site is not located within an Intergovernmental Agreement
Area; however, it does lie within the three (3) mile referral area for the Town of Mead and
Boulder County. Referrals were sent to The City of Longmont, Town of Mead, and Boulder
County; however, Planning staff did not receive a response from either municipality, although
they did receive one letter from a surrounding property owner who resides in Boulder County
expressing concern about the possibility for a commercial strip development and a decrease in
property values. Mr. Ogle also displayed photographs of the site and surrounding properties. In

response to Commissioner Conway, Mr. Ogle said the concerned property owner lives one half
mile north of the site and owns an equestrian facility.
Heidi Hansen, Department of Public Works, stated County Road 1 is classified as a collector
road, which requires 80 feet of right-of-way at full buildout, and there are currently 60 feet of
right-of-way. Ms. Hansen stated existing access to the property is on County Road 1, which has
a traffic count of approximately 1,811 vehicles per day, as of February 2010.
Mary Evett, Department of Public Health and Environment, stated the water for the site is
provided by Longs Peak Water District. She stated there is an existing septic system on the site
permitted for a three (3) bedroom home; however, if the applicant chooses to utilize it for
employee use, she recommends the applicant have the existing septic system evaluated by a
professional licensed engineer. Ms. Evett stated the applicant provides a dumpster on the site,
and no vehicle maintenance or repairs will be performed on the site. In response to
Commissioner Conway, Ms. Evett stated the existing septic system can accommodate six (6)
people per day.
Ken Wolf, applicant, was present and provided background information about his home
improvement/flooring business. In addition to the two (2) office employees on the site, there are
eight (8) contractors who utilize their vehicles/trucks to pick up carpet padding and access the
facility's dumpster. Mr. Wolf added that since the majority of his business is completed off the
premises, the vehicles/trucks are not parked at the site all day long. In response to
Commissioner Conway, Mr. Wolf stated there are approximately ten (10) to twelve (12) people
who access the site on a daily basis.
No public testimony was offered concerning this matter.
In response to Commissioner Rademacher, Mr. Ogle stated the applicant would like to construct
an enclosed building to store the dumpster, to prevent the scattering of trash and keep it from
being seen by the public. Mr. Ogle stated this request is adequate; however, the structure has
yet to be constructed.
Responding to Chair Kirkmeyer, Mr. Wolff stated he has reviewed, and concurs with, the
Conditions of Approval and Development Standards, as proposed.
Commissioner Conway moved to approve the request of Ken Wolf for a Site Specific
Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit#1773 for any Use Permitted as a Use by
Right, Accessory Use, or Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial Zone Districts
(flooring business), provided that the property is not a lot in an approved or recorded subdivision
plat or lots part of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of any regulations controlling subdivision
in the A (Agricultural) Zone District, based on the recommendations of Planning staff and the
Planning Commission, with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards as entered
into the record. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Rademacher, and it carried
unanimously. There being no further discussion, the hearing was completed at 10:14 a.m.
