WORKFLOW SUMMARY: Case Initiation 08/06/2010 Initiated Violation 08/06/2010 5 Day Letter Violation 08/16/2010 Violation Notice Violation 10/05/2010 Hearing Notification OTHER CASE HISTORY: 08/11/2010 Telephone call Jeremy James Long (970-397-4952) called regarding the letter he received. He and I discussed the violation and the Pre-Application Request form. He then called again indicating he had more questions. Kim Ogle and I called him back. Kim walked him through the USR application process and again advised him to turn in the Pre-Application Request form. 09/07/2010 Office visit Ms. Mahoney came to the Greeley Planning Office to discuss the violation case against Mr. Jeremy Long. She explained that she owns the home. She explained that she had hired a Gary Dejohn to move the home to Aurora, but ran into several problems with this arrangement. After a long discussion, I advised her that she could put all this information in writing and I would add it to the violation file. She said she would do that. 09/08/2010 E-mail received From: Chad Mahoney [mailto:c-smahoney@msn.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2010 12:05 PM To: Bethany Salzman Subject: House, Jeremy Long Bethany Salzman Zoning Compliance Officer Concerning, the house in Weld County on Jeremy Longs property; the following are the basics. I purchased the house from Gary DeJohn for$13,000. The price included a move and a set. I was very naive and didn't know the scope of the process of bringing a home into Aurora. For many months, I argued with Gary to bring the house to me because when I paid him he said he would deliver it next week. On the first Saturday in March, my husband and I went to his home and put serious pressure on him. At that time, he told 44rit; wine COLORADO Planning Department ZONING VIOLATION CASE SUMMARY us we couldn't get a moving permit to bring it into Aurora without a building permit. That is when I started with the permitting phase. I just didn't know. I thought I would get a building permit and set it when I got the money or my husband was laid off which was coming. Through March and April I pushed the house through planning and submitted. At some point, it turned out that since the property hadn't been platted, that needed to be done. After the plat is complete, the building permit can be filed. The plat is at the second review phase. As this is happening, Jeremy wants the house off his land. He has asked Gary many times to remove it. Garys line is that it is my problem and doesn't want to double handle the house. When Jeremy started getting rougher with us, I went to my project manager at Aurora and negotiated to bring it into the city, and put it in storage on a M-1 storage lot. That took a lot of talking and a lot of hoops to jump though. At this point, a permit to move it into the city can be bought. We are back to pressuring Gary. In desperation, we bought a truck and the hitches, chains, lights, wide load signs etc., to move it. If we can get the permits and some of the other hurdles, like insurance we would like to move it 09/08/2010 E-mail received continued ***E-mail continued*"* legally ourselves. Ito the have been to the public works department and will start to work on the special transport permit application. Thats if we can't get Gary to budge. The time frame to prosecute Gary to perform would be pretty slow. I am very committed to this house. To date, we have done and paid for the following, purchased the land, installed the water across a six lane road, have sewer tap fee paid, and have gas, phone, and electricity installed I now know, I will complete this process. I have a contract that pays for a move. Jeremy has no contract with Gary. Thank you for your time. Susan Mahoney c-smahoney@msn.com Home: 303-344-9369 Cell: 720-937-7202 09/10/2010 Phone call Sue Mahoney called again. She said Jeremy is pressuring her into paying the fee. She asked if the fee was directly associated to the house. I explained that the violation was initiated due to the addition of the house, but the house was not the only aspect of the violation. If the house were removed today, the fee would still be required. She asked if the house was listed on the complaint. I told her yes. 09/10/2010 Phone call Jeremy Long (397-4952) called. He said he is working really hard on getting the property cleaned up. He said he is running into problems with the shed guy and the house lady. I told Jeremy that I have had discussions with Sue Mahoney. He said now that he has met with staff does he get the 60 days. I explained that would apply if he ajr) use COLORADO Planning Department ZONING VIOLATION CASE SUMMARY were going to submit a USR application. He said Michelle was going to check with the "District Attorney" to see if he could even apply. I explained that Michelle indicated she was going to call him later this afternoon regarding that information. He asked if he removes everything if he can still sell grain from there. I explained that he should discuss that with Michelle as well, but the only use by right would be the temporary storage of in transit crops (6 months or less) and no selling; otherwise, he would still need the USR permit. I told him to discuss it with Michelle when she called. He asked if I knew what was decided about him being able to apply for the USR, I told him that I would really prefer for Michelle to discuss that with him. He said okay. He asked if he could get an extension from the 16th. I told him to get me something in writing requesting that and I would be open to 1 extension for 30 days (so October 16, 2010). He said he would get me something and said thank-you. 09/15/2010 Letter received Received letter from Jeremy Long requesting an extension. 10/08/2010 E-mail sent From: Bethany Salzman Sent: Friday, October 08, 2010 7:51 AM To: 'Rod D. Peterson' Subject: Jeremy James Long - 16166 CR 44, LaSalle, Co 80645 I am forwarding a copy of the County's letter to the business operator(the Railroad's tenant) to you, because the Railroad is the owner of the property. As you and I have previously discussed via e-mail, the Railroad's tenant is in violation of the Weld County Code, because he is operating a business without the appropriate permits. It is the policy of the County to involve both the owners and occupants of a property subject to a violation proceeding. Property owners are brought into the matter because they retain ultimate control over who occupies their property and what happens on the property. For example the lease between the Railroad and Jeremy James Long, Subsection 6, Paragraph D, states: tLessee shall comply with all governmental laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and orders relating to Lessee's use of the Premises.6 The fact that he has failed to adhere to that requirement permits the Railroad to evict him. If he is evicted, the property is no longer in violation of the Weld County Code. Therefore, please be aware that Mr. Long's continued failure to bring this property into compliance with the Weld County Code might result in a decision by the Board of County Commissioners to refer the matter for legal action, and if that occurs, the County might have to name both the Tenant and the Railroad as Respondents in a civil case. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

The reason for the extension is I am still waiting to hear back from the Railroad to see if they will allow me to rezone their property. Also, I have removed the cars and landscaping materials but I'm still waiting on the sheds to be removed from the property. I have written a letter and have also called the owner of the sheds and he assured me that they will be removed. However, he is out of town right now and will take care of it when he gets back on October 5th 2010. I have almost gotten everything taken care of but I have to wait on the owner of the sheds and the Railroad. Thank you for your patience in this matter. Please let me know if this is a problem.
