That same property owner is using the west 30-foot right-of-way to access their property and not utilizing the east 30-foot right-of-way as their own access. The County is being placed in the middle to resolve this fence and gate access issue. By vacating only one-half mile of CR 137 between Sections 8 and 9, T7N, R57W does not benefit the County. There appears to be a dispute between neighbors on the location of the fence and gate placement on the section line. Obstructions within right-of-way: Susie Kester who owns the fence and gate in the right-of-way, which physically fenced out the old trail traveled portion, relocating the travel lane portion to the opposite side of the fencing and gating the north end. Obstructions shall be removed from the County road right-of-way upon request by the Department of Public Works. We are requesting that Susie Kester relocate the fence and gate out of the County right-of-way. The right-of-ways are being use by Seismograph crews and oil/gas groups for access through and across parcels. RECOMMENDATION: Public Works recommends retaining any existing right-of-way associated with the road petition as it is very costly and difficult to replace these in the future. Susie Kester should be directed by the County Attorney to remove the fence from the section line and to access her property east of the section line. Summary: Public Works requests that Susie Kester relocate the fence and gate out of the County right-of-way.

Box 758 Greeley,CO 80632 RE: Weld County West Half of Right of Way on undeveloped WCR 137 Section Line between Sections 8 and 9,T7N, R57W,for approximately%mile north from WCR 82 Dear Ms. Gesick: This letter addresses items one and two that you attached to your August 30, 2010 letter regarding the right-of-way vacation petition on the undeveloped WCR 137 section line between sections 8 and 9. It is difficult to identify this as WCR 137 between sections 8 and 9 as you requested since this is not a currently maintained county road. Directly to the south of these two properties and south of CR 82 between Sections 16 and 17,T7N, R57W,you can still see where the right-of-way is still present as it was in the early 1900's. As a matter of fact,WCR 137 doesn't even exist between Highway 14 and the Morgan County Line. First of all,this is not to be considered a boundary dispute. The adjacent property owner,Susie Kester, always informed me of how she was going to proceed without allowing any conversation or proactive interaction,just literally telling me what she was going to do. When I was initially told that she was going to put a fence down the section line, I informed her that this was fine as long as she used her own property for her own driveway or access. Now,she wants to use my farmland side as her access to her north gate which she installed coming directly onto the west 30'of right-of-way between sections 8 and 9, at the 34 mile point north of CR 82 approximately one year ago. She also told me that she was going to put road base on my side and said "You don't care,do you?" I told her that I most certainly did object because she could put road base down on her own side. Please note that her land is definitely not landlocked as she currently has access to her own private residence along CR 82. By her actions of wanting to put road base on my side, I have several points that I am requesting you to answer for me. • How do you clearly define "public use" and "private use" as it appears that the term "public right-of-way" and "private access" are being used synonymously by the county? Her intention is to use my 30 foot right-of-way side for her own private and subcontractor use by installing the gate at the%mile point on the north end approximately one year ago. I am definitely not in Page 2 disagreement of where the fence/property line is currently established by her fence,which she erected within the past two years. When she definitely considers my 30 foot right-of-way a "public use" road,then it would be in violation of"The road cannot be fenced or gated" per County Code, Article III, Section 8-6-150 H. Also,"If a fence exists along the section line on which the road is to be built, relocation of the fence to the road right-of-way lines shall be the responsibility of the sponsor(s)of the roadway project" per County Code,Article III,Section 8-6- 150 I. • With regard to Weld County Right-of-Way Code,does either party have special rights beyond his or her own property line? Typically, I would assume that adjoining landowners should agree to establish a trail centered on this line for shared usage of the entire 60 feet, but this was never an option. • The adjacent property owner is actually the one trying to justify use of my side of the property line for her own private use. The term "public" and "private" are being interpreted as interchangeable by her. Communication has always been extremely difficult and there is no possibility that she would sign a vacation petition when she would lose what she intends to totally control. Can the county explain to her the difference between"public" and "private"? The county explained to us that if there is no road,just"enjoy it!" Does that mean that each adjacent owner gets to"enjoy"their own 30 feet of right-of-way? • Who would maintain her presumed "public access" road? Would it need to be her,the county or me,especially when she lays road base down on OUR 30 foot right-of-way farmland side? • If the county has no intention of installing a maintained road on this county right-of-way,why is it justifiable for her to fence AND prohibit use of the 30' right-of-way on her side,yet turns around to develop a road on my 30 foot side of the right-of-way,which IS NOT centered on the section line? No one can even use her 30'side of the right-of-way now because of the fence! She is bound and determined to put down road base and develop this 30' right of way on my farmland side for her own private use! In essence, she is trying to change the Weld County right-of-way from 60'to 30' by her defining this as a "public road"which is in direct violation of County Code,Article III, Section 8-6-150 C which states that"The width of the right-of-way cannot be less than 60 feet." Also,this"private road"for her own exclusive use does not serve "a minimum of 3 legal lots which must have residential dwellings,to be considered for acceptance" per County Code,Article III,Section 8-6-150 D as well. Therefore,we,as joint owners,of Weld County SE Y 8-7-57,are requesting you to vacate the right of way of the 30 feet to the east side of our property for approximately%3 mile north on the undeveloped WCR 137 section line which is directly west of the fence that was installed within the past two years by the adjoining owner of the SW'/.9-7-57, since the adjacent land owner is not landlocked and is utilizing Page 3 the entire east 30 feet on our property for her own private access and exclusive benefit. Once again, this is definitely not a dispute over where the fence was originally placed! We,Victor Hanson,Greg Hanson and Vickie L.Green, have been the joint owners of that land since the purchase date of August 24, 1988 with me,Victor, being the leaseholder of that same land for approximately 40 years previously. This entire 60 feet of right of way was used exclusively by me, Victor, as tenant and owner for a total of over 50 years because it was originally fenced on the east side of the entire 60' right-of-way. As an occupant for over 86 years and as a landowner in Weld County for over 50 years, it seems that my age and deteriorating health condition over the past year and a half are definitely being taken advantage of by her total disrespect and forceful disregard to rational communication regarding this situation from the very beginning! Please note that I am currently a resident of The Bridge Assisted Living,4750 W.25th Street,Apartment#219,Greeley,Colorado,80634. Please understand that this is a diligent and reputable attempt to make sure that our Hanson 30 foot right-of-way on the east side of SE Y.8-7-57 between sections 8 and 9 be kept intact with the entire Hanson section and NOT BE ALLOWED to become a future part of SW'/.9-7-57! It is apparent that by installing a gate at the Y mile point on the undeveloped WCR 137 point,that she is clearly trying to gain total control of the entire 60 foot right of way. This is exactly what has already occurred to the north between NE Y,8-7-57 and NW Y.9-7-57. We are hoping to accomplish this without future legal ramifications and would appreciate your response regarding this matter! Respectfully Submitted, ,lctO 1 f any cgv Victor E.

H W Z W W VI o Z a Dialog of pictures of Kester / Hanson properties The distance to the power poles is approximately 30 feet and the power poles are located on the west 30 foot right of way, verified by Morgan County REA on March 1, 2010. The division line shown on the horizon in the first 3 photos (#24, 25, & 26) is Kester's fence already taking the entire right of way from the additional adjoining owner (formerly Kenneth Littlefield, now Dennis Wetherbee) and that particular fence line is on the power pole line. At that point, is where she has installed the gate on Hanson's 30 foot right-of-way farmland side which can be seen in photos #41, 42 and 44! #24 (15:44) - Facing north from CR 82 with power poles to the west inside Hanson's 30 foot right-of-way / Kester fence close to center of picture #25 (15:45) - Facing north from CR 82 with power poles to the west inside Hanson's 30 foot right-of-way / Kester fence close to center of picture #26 (15:45) - Facing north from CR 82 with power poles to the west aligning power poles to the west inside Hanson's 30 foot right-of- way with Kester fence starting on right #27 (15:46) - Kester home facing northeast from corner of adjacent properties / trees are on her property aligning her entrance from CR 82 #28 (15:46) - Kester home facing northeast from CR 82 and the corner of her fence between sections 8 and 9 #29 (15:49) - Facing north from the south side of CR#82 to show the fence line in properties to the south looking to Hanson's property to the left / Kester's property to the right. Again, the line on the horizon is misleading because that is her fence line on the adjoining owner's power pole line! #30 (15:50) - Same as #29 just a close up picture #31 (15:51) - Same as #29 #32 (15:52) - Same as #29 #33 (15:53) - Same as #29 (Vickie Green - "I don't ever remember seeing a road sign for CR #82 here before! It is funny that it is an intersection road sign with the north/south description taken off?") #34 (15:53) - Facing north from CR 82 same as #24, #25 and #26 pictures but more in center of Hanson's 30 foot right-of-way with Susie's fence on right #35 (15:54) - Underground cable identification marker outside the corner of Susie's fence between sections 8 and 9 along CR 82 #36 (15:56) - Corner of her fence facing directly east with her trees aligning her property with CR 82 on right #37 (15:56) - Facing northeast, Susie's home on the left in the background with trees aligning her North -South entrance from CR 82 #38 (15:57) - Facing northeast, Susie's home on the left in the background with trees aligning her North / South entrance with CR 82 on right of picture #39 (15:59) - Susie's entrance to her property from CR 82 (Note: These are the trees you can see in the other pictures.) #40 (16:00) - Susie's entrance to her property from CR 82 (Note: These are the trees you can see in the other pictures.) #41 (16:03) - This gate she has installed at the north end of her fence coming onto the west 30 foot right-of-way on Hanson's farmland side! #42 (16:04) - Picture taken with power pole (west inside Hanson's property) looking North! This picture shows how she is using the entire 60' right of way with the other adjoining owner's property (now Dennis Wetherbee). #43 (16:04) - Picture of Kester's home in the background facing east/south-east with trees aligning her property in background. Note that the old ridge fence line is beyond the new fence. #44 (16:05) - Facing north in line with the power poles and showing new gate she has installed! Also, noting the hay stack in the background! #45 (16:08) - Facing south away from the gate on Hanson's 30 foot right-of-way farmland side / Susie's fence directly to the left / power poles to the right or west inside Hanson's property (NOTE: You can still see tracks and a built - up ridge from the old trail on her side.) #46 (16:11) - Looking through her fence you can see built up ridge with different vegetation from the old trail. #47 (16:12) - Looking through her fence you can see the built up ridge from the old trail #48 (16:12) - Same as #47 #49 (16:13) - Facing southeast looking toward her trees noting the gas pipeline pole placed along the ridge of the old trail and noting different vegetation #52 (16:16) - Facing south and leaning over her fence to take a picture of the fence with the old trail and ridge still visible! (NOTE: You can still see the old fence line on the left even south of CR 82 on the horizon of this picture.) #53 (16:17) - Facing south and leaning over her fence to take a picture of the fence with the old trail and ridge still visible! (NOTE: You can still see the old fence line on the left even south of CR 82 on the horizon.) #54 (16:17) - Looking back to the northeast over her new fence with relation to the Orange gas pipeline pole between sections 8 and 9. #55 (16:21) - Looking directly south in line with her fence with power poles to the right inside Hanson's property with CR 82 directly ahead of vehicle with old fence line south of CR 82 in background on left. #56 (16:21) - Looking directly south in line with her fence with power poles to the right inside Hanson's property with CR 82 directly ahead of orange post with old fence line south of CR 82 in background on left. IMPORTANT NOTES: • The 60' right-of-way is still visibly present south of CR 82 between sections 16 and 17, T7N, R57W. • The entire 60' right-of- way has already been taken over beyond the 1/2 mile north on undeveloped WCR 137 again between sections 8 and 9, NE 1/4 8-7-57, which used to be owned by Kenneth L. Littlefield and is now owned by Dennis Wetherbee and the NW 1/4 9-7-57, owned by Susie Kester. ritzy _ _ _ __ __, _ _ ___ , __ ________ ..i.4 ,,,,. .. , , .. 11 . . -: -. ,. _______ , ,, , ._ ...„ _ _ .. _. . . . ... u ��0 ...._ , __ ,..., _ .: , _ . _. __.,_ . . „ _ . . s 1 • .J r I _ . • - •.44:60, . _ A • • I a I:Abe al t . -' . da . 0 :• d• • • . - : 71 • • •• : • d - .. ••••;411 il> :, • • . - ' • .. ; ♦ I • - ♦ • b . r • ' r • �- • • t . • .4.• *Ail • l' • - __ ....=__ I + ' '_V • a _-Earo • —r • �J•fT • • • .14 4 y - • • • I. — i 0 • • • • 1 • � L I • • • di . • ; '4 ,� • 1 ' "set . • •I • r f ` 1 • ' • C • 4 . \ . ...ieick.-..c..6 \\I cvL-9_,, IT ❑ au il-Q • ccj `1—' • 0 (C‘ii -- rigion N 0 0 U�� 0 • C.

First of all, Susie Kester is now putting barbed wire fence, concrete, paving materials and other waste materials on her 30 foot right of way next to the fence she erected and has now mowed down part of our farmland stubble on the west edge of our 30 foot right of way to claim more ground for her road. Again,she is not allowing any access to the Weld County's east side of the right-of-way and is independently claiming abandonment by dumping trash there! Again,we are not questioning property line by the location of Susie Kester's fence. It appears that what she is trying to accomplish violates Weld County codes!

Attached is the Department response with several items to be corrected and addressed. Should you still wish to proceed, please complete all of the items on the attached Procedural Guide and return the information to: Weld County Clerk to the Board's Office, Attn: Esther Gesick, P.O. Box 758, Greeley, Colorado 80632. If you have questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at (970) 336-7215, Extension 4226. Very truly yours, Esther E. Gesick Deputy Clerk to the Board Office Manager/Coordinator MEMORANDUM TO: Esther Gesick, Clerk To the Board DATE: August 9, 2010 VIIPC FROM: Donald Carroll, Engineering Administrator COLORADO SUBJECT: Road Petition to Vacate Right-of-Way Between Sections 8 & 9, T7N, R57W. This petition is not ready to be scheduled. • The road petition is identifying WCR 82 between WCRs 135 and 139 for the portion being abandoned or vacated. This is a county maintained road. The petition should identify WCR 137 section line between Sections 8 and 9, T7N, R57W for approximately one-half mile north. • The adjacent property owners are listed, but are not a signature party to the road vacation petition. • An in-house email from Bruce Barker informed me that the landowner on the east of the section line has placed a fence right on the section line, using the designated 30-foot right-of-way as pasture. That same property owner is using the west 30-foot right-of-way to access their property and not utilizing the east 30-foot right-of-way as their own access. Summary: There appears to be a dispute between neighbors on the location of a new fence placed on the section line where the adjacent neighbor is utilizing the opposite side of the section line to access an opposite parcel. The County is being placed in the middle to resolve this fence and access issue. By vacating only one-half mile between Sections 8 and 9, T7N, R57W does not benefit the County. If the petitioner chooses to proceed to the Board of County Commissioners for a decision, please complete all the items on the procedural guide prior to scheduling the hearing. pc: M:\PLANNING-DEVELOPMENT REVIEW\Correspondence\PetitionToVacateCTB-memo.DOC Procedural Guide for Road Petition to Vacate Weld County Rights-of-Way Updated 8/4/2010 1. The Petitioner shall provide Weld County with a letter indicating the reason to vacate platted or existing rights-of-way on section lines or platted parcels. 2.

Fill out the road petition identifying petitioner's names, a description of the right-of-way to be vacated, adjacent property owner that may be affected by this vacation, existing utilities, signature, and addresses petitioners requesting the vacation. 4. Mail or deliver the road petition to the Board of Weld County Commissioners for review and dispersal to the appropriate county departments for verification of right-of-way and circulation through the appropriate staff to verify the need to retain the right-of-way for future interconnectivity between county roads. 5.

Box 758 Greeley, Colorado 80632 This correspondence is in reference to the Petition filed by Hansen's to vacate the public road right- of-way lying 30 feet on the west side of the section line (WCR 137) between sections 8 and 9, Township 7 North, Range 57 West of the 6'" P.M., Weld County, Colorado, subject to dedicated and recorded easements and rights-of-way. From 1993 to the present time, my family has used the right-of-way on section line 137 in a limited and respectful manner to access our land for agricultural practices. Since most of my travel is in a golf cart it is typically nearer to access our land directly from the yard. However, there are times when it is necessary and reasonable for individuals to access the west and back pasture down the right-of-way for road 137. These times typically include the use of heavy equipment or farm machinery requiring a straight on or larger gate access. The following list indicates typical uses: • MCREA: to maintain and repair the power line from WCR 82 to my stock/house well. • New Raymer Fire Department: to control the burning of weeds in fence line and in case of fire. • Gas/Fiber Optics Line: To monitor pipelines. • Local farmers/ranchers: Scott Northrup, Wes Johnson and Jim Walker to access livestock, check water and/or fence. • Kester Pump Service: to service the pump, well and install water tanks. • Younglund Backhoe Service:to install water tanks and haul hay. • Sub-Contractors: o Hay operations: Steve Kugler, Jim Walker, Jimmy Krager. o Plant trees: Jim Mertens, Jim Young. o Build fence: Larry Hoozee, Gene Nelson. o Vehicle maintenance: KAYJAN, Tim Wunce, Justin Mertens. • Kester Family: To access the well; check water for livestock; maintain fence;water trees; mow for weed/fire control and drifting snow; swath, bale, stack and feed hay; planning and development of a retirement home/shop for my father. Since we purchased the West half of Section 9 nearly 17 years ago, we have been good neighbors to Hansen's tenant, Delwyn Northup. We have always allowed him to use our corrals and pastures when he brings cattle into Hansen's East half of Section 9 and again when he moves them out, because there are no loading facilities on their side. Delwyn was given, and still has, the keys to my house and shop in case he has trouble in the field. I have kept the weeds mowed between us in the spring and fall, and again prior to harvest. Delwyn in turn has kept a watchful eye on my property during the week when I'm not there. He has called my cell phone if he notices lights or activity at unusual times. He has driven from his field, across mine to see if the weeds I was burning were out of control. He drove his tractor nearly 20 EX= ?hi, G/p , Zr • •Page 2 Cecernber 62010 miles to pull my Dad out when our front end loader was washed down the creek and buried in sand. He loaned me his Father's old tractor to finish mowing my field when mine broke down. Together we helped an aging neighbor poison prairie dogs so they did not destroy his entire pasture or move across the county road into our fields. We have spent various occasions getting our livestock back into our respective pastures and have always cooperated in fence maintenance. In 1995 my father installed 2 pipe comer braces and a dozen line markers directly on the section line between 8 and 9. At that time Vic was driving out almost daily from Ft. Morgan and stopped one afternoon to visit with my father. Looking at the cement going into the post hole, Vic said to him, "Well, that ought to hold it." Because that pasture was in CRP, my father never completed the entire section of fence, but the primitive markers stood for over a decade. Then, in 2007 the NRCS planned to allow emergency grazing of CRP fields. As we prepared to complete the fence line started years earlier, we talked about the possibility of moving it from the section line west 30'. This would line up our fence with the existing fences to the north (N ' S8) and south (NE % S17) of us. It would also move the fence line away from the blow ridge and washouts that were present. I saw Vic in the restaurant one day and explained all this to him and asked if I could put the fence in line with the power poles and the two fences to the north and south of us. We would leave a 60' entrance from the county road so that farm implements could easily access his field. He said, "I don't care where you put it" and joked he was glad he wasn't the one having to build fence. A couple days later I shared this conversation with Delwyn and he was not happy with Vic's decision. Being Hansen's tenant he asked me to reconsider this decision and put the fence back 60' from the power line. I asked him if we did that, "Would you farm right up the fence line" and he responded, "Probably." I later received a call from Vic insisting that I put the fence 60' east of the power line. I told him I wouldn't move it back that far, but I was willing to put it on the section line where we'd initially started. That line had been established many years earlier with a buried fence as proof; and by the corners and line markers my father had placed in that fence line 13 years earlier. Although the erection of the fence three and a half years ago seemed to win all prior relationships, my family has remained respectful of the land, the crops, the livestock and every other aspect of the agricultural operations taking place in rural Weld County. It was frustrating when the letter came from Hansen's lawyer 16 years after the fence line had been started, threatening "further action" if I continued my legal use of the right-of-way. It was even more disturbing when Vicki Green and Delwyn Northup called the Sheriff and demanded I be arrested for trespassing in August of 2010. Although I wasn't the one driving at the time, the thought of my 69 year old step-mother being arrested was a little disconcerting. She had been the one driving my pickup and flatbed trailer down the right-of-way for road 137 while we were picking up bales out of the field. When I received a "Notice for Petition to vacate the right-of-way" I realized this situation was going to continue to be contentious. The Weld County Right to Farm Code (Section 35-3.5-102), "Provides that an agricultural operation shall not be found to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be a nuisance employs methods or practices that am commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural production." Kester's have been ranching in this community for 5 generations and Northup's farming for 4. All three members of the Hansen family are absentee land owners with no active commitment to our community or the agricultural practices that occur here. They've alleged that I am trying to gain possession of their land by traveling on the west side of the fence. That is simply not the case. Nor •Pixie OttmYeB.AtU would I presume it Vic's intention during the years that he enjoyed "exclusive use" of the entire 60' of easement. With all that said, I would be willing to sign the petition to vacate the west half of the easement if it were possible for vehicles to travel entirely within the 30' right-of-way on the east side. Currently, that is not feasible for several reasons. First, 500' north of the county road is a washout about 10' wide and 4' deep. This draw meanders east halfway through my pasture before leveling out at my yard. The problem was so bad that the Logan County ASC office re-wrote my contract allowing trees to be planted down through the draw to help with flood mitigation. The erosion continued, washing out three different years of tree plantings. Since you can't drive over the washout, one would have to travel about 1500' through my hayfield to get around it and back next to the fence line. Secondly, in some places east of the section line, there is only an average of 15-20' between the line and a slight change in the geography. Although I say"slight" if you were pulling a trailer with hay and hit the lip of this ridge it would no doubt spill your load. To me, the most reasonable solution would be for the county to do the dirt work necessary to create a gravel surfaced roadway on the east half of the right-of-way and for me to install a gate between the county road and the pasture to allow individuals the opportunity to travel down both sides of the section line. However, in this day and age of limited budgets that might not be the most practical. Vic claims he had exclusive use of the entire 60' right-of-way for some 50 years. I've used the east side exclusively for 35 days since dosing the gate on the north end to keep 4 bulls in the hay field. Maybe the simplest solution is for me to open the gate back up so that I am not violating the County Code, Article III, Section 8-6-150 H and simply move the bulls to another pasture since they haven't been all that much fun anyway. As I look forward to retirement in New Raymer, it is my hope to find a reasonable solution for all parties without further legal ramifications, expenses, time and energy.

Susie Kester 305 North Columbine Street Golden, CO 80403 Re: Use of Hanson Field Trail Dear Ms. Kester: On behalf of the Hanson family, owners of the Southeast Quarter of Section 8 (T7N, R57W), adjacent to and West of your land in the East Half of Section 9, I write to you concerning your use of the Hansons' field frail lying in the Southwest Quarter of Section 8, running Northerly one-half mile from Weld County Road 82 to your half-section fence line. Your having erected a fence up to and generally along the section line between Sections 8 and 9 does not give you the authority to use the field frail on the Hanson property to the West for access to the North Half of your land in Section 9. That is not a right-of-way available for your use. It is a private access road to the Hanson farm ground in the Southeast Quarter of Section 8. Your use of this private trail for your convenience violates the Hanson's property rights and such use must stop immediately. The gate that you have installed along the half section line, at the North end of the Hanson field frail, dearly indicates that you intend to use the Hanson frail as access to the North Half of your property. As stated once already, you have rio right of use to that field trail. Your gate should therefore be moved to the East side of the section line to your property on the West Half of Section 9, to provide you lawful access to the land behind that gate. Your land in the West Half of Section 9 is not land-locked, having access to a constructed and maintained county road, Weld County Road 82, on the South side of your property. Therefore, there is no need for your use of the Hanson field trail in Section 8. The Hansons hope that this matter is resolved by your willingness to recognize their ownership of that strip of land on which the Hanson field trail lies; however, they will be left with no choice but to take further action to protect their private property rights if your unlawful use of the Hanson field trail continues.
