CASE NUMBER: USR-1705 E$
APPLICANT: Land Airport LLC (Lloyd Land) S2 - / 705
PLANNER: Chris Gathman
REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for an
extension or expansion of a non -conforming use (private airstrip/airport) in the A
(Agricultural) Zone District.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot A of Amended Recorded Exemption 628, Lot B of Amended Recorded
Exemption 628, Subdivision Exemption 521, and a parcel of land of
approximately 4.989 acres identified under parcel # 1305 31 100032; all located
in the E2 of Section 31, T2N, R64W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado.
Chris Gathman, Planning Services, stated that staff wishes for this case to remain on the consent agenda. He

commented that there is a surrounding property owner who would like to speak on this. He added that based
on the fact that this Use by Special Review is essentially at the request of the Board of County Commissioners
establishing an existing use, staff recommends that this case remain as a consent item.
The Chair asked the applicant if they wish for this case to remain on the consent agenda. The applicant
replied yes.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.
Pamela Simpson, 6212 CR 51. Ms. Simpson stated that her home is one of the closest residences to Mr.
Land's property. She has read all the information provided on-line about this case.
A question that has bothered her since the September 10, 2008 hearing is how does a private airport support
Weld County Code Section 22-2-20.A.Goal 1 which states "Respect and encourage the continuation of
agricultural land uses and agricultural operations for purposes which enhance the economic health and
sustainability of agriculture." She added Section 22-2-20.8 Goal 2 which states "Continue the commitment to
viable agriculture in Weld County through mitigated protection of established (and potentially expanding)
agricultural uses from other proposed new uses that would hinder the operations of the agricultural
enterprises."
Ms. Simpson stated that she has not seen an airplane plow a field or plant a seed. She has seen them dust
crops, yet she is told there are no plans for a crop dusting business. She does not understand how these
codes substantiate a Use by Special Review permit for a private airport in an agricultural zone district.
In reviewing the other cases on today's docket their applications clearly answer the Site Specific Development
Plan and Use by Special Review Questionnaire. It is her understanding that the purpose of this questionnaire
is to have the applicants provide the County with a clear and detailed plan of what they want to do with the
property. She did not see that in Mr. Land's application. If the application is being submitted just because the
Board suggested it at the September 10, 2008 hearing she still expects the application to provide a clear and
detailed plan. This application is too vague in her opinion.
Applications must meet the criteria for a Site Specific Development Plan and Review. In her opinion Mr.
Land's application does not do that, nor does she see how that supports agricultural development as the
summary wants her to believe. She is not opposed to development. Calpine is her next door neighbor and
believes that they are one of her best neighbors.
Ms. Simpson expressed desire for this to be done properly and by the rules. She believes that no one is
exempt from rules. Just because the Board suggested this does not mean that it is ready for consideration
especially based on what has been provided. Without a clear or detailed plan this case should not be passed
forward to the Board.
Ms. Simpson stated that there is a copy of an inappropriately notarized document in Mr. Land's application.
She has sent a copy of this to the Secretary of State's Office and to Lauren Light of the Weld County
Department of Health for review.
She added that she would like to see a copy of the FAA Form 7480-1 that Mr. Land finally submitted to the
FAA after the fact that he put in the new runway in August of 2008.
The Chair asked staff about some points noted by Ms. Simpson in regard to notarization and FM. Mr.
Gathman said that the FM was sent a referral; however the county did not receive a response from them for
this application. Ms. Light said that they received information on the Statement of Existing. She added that
she thought it would be up to the notary to make sure that what is being notarized is correct and the dates
match. Ms. Light commented that it doesn't affect the septic system because the Health Department went out
and inspected what was out there anyway.
Hope Babeon, 6687 CR 49. Ms. Babeon commented that Mr. Land is a really good neighbor and takes really
good care of his land and airport. She has never seen him do anything reckless with his plane. She added
that Mr. Land has been more than willing to put his best foot forward for their community.
Vern Burke, Architect, 12948 West 1s` Drive, Lakewood CO. Mr. Burke commented that he had prepared the
•
•
•
documents for the USR. He added that this is a non -conforming permit. The airport has been in place before
the Weld County Code was enacted. At the County Commissioner meeting a year ago it was determined that
the activities which were undertaken at this site were indeed ascribable to maintenance and just general
upkeep of the property. Therefore the County Commissioners voided the violation charge and Mr. Land was
free to continue the uses he was doing at the time. At the County Commissioners suggestion, Mr. Land
submitted his application. His paperwork is up to date with the FM.
The Chair closed the public portion.
The Chair asked if any of the Planning Commissioners wished to pull this case from the consent agenda. No
one wished to speak.
Robert Grand moved to approve the Consent Agenda which includes Cases USR-1714, AmUSR-485, USR-
1715 and USR-1705 and that they be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners along with the
Conditions of Approval and Development Standards with the Planning Commission's recommendation of
approval, seconded by Bill Hall.
The Chair reminded the audience that the hearing before the Board of County Commissioners for Case USR-
1705 is on November 18, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. at 915 10th Street.
The Chair read the following case into record.
CASE NUMBER: Code Ordinance #2009-12
PLANNER: Roger Vigil
REQUEST: In the Matter of Repealing and Reenacting, with Amendments, Chapter
29 Building Regulations
Roger Vigil, Building Inspection, stated that he has three items for consideration. The first item is the adoption
of the 2006 Uniform Swimming Code with amendments. The second item is an amendment to Section 29-2-
30 which is the electrical section of the International Residential Code and the third item is the amendment to
Section 29-8-40 regarding the expiration of building permits.
There has been a work session with the Board of County Commissioners. He added that there was also a
meeting with the Building Trades Advisory Group.
Mr. Vigil commented that the Uniform Swimming Code was not included in Chapter 29 previously. Section
309.4 is amended to include the ANSI Standard, which is a federal standard that has come because of deaths
caused by suction entrapment.
Mr. Vigil said that the proposed change to Section 29-2-30 is W. Part VIII — Electrical is part of the
International Residential Code. He said that the reason for this change is that the International Residential
Code and National Electric Code are written so that they overlap cycles. Right now we are on the 2006
International Residential Code which by reference goes by the 2005 National Electric Code; however we have
adopted the 2008 National Electric Code. This will always put the International Residential Code on the same
cycle with the National Electric Code.
The next item for consideration is Section 29-8-40 in regard to expiration of permits. The reason for the
proposal is to close the loop hole for permit holders who are not finishing work by obtaining multiple permits.
There are a number of problem permits that people just buy a permit and not finish the work.
Commissioner Lawley asked why we would charge them the full permit fees rather than an administrative fee
for issuing the permit. Mr. Vigil said that right now we are collecting a minimal amount and that doesn't seem
to motivate people to finish their work. He added that they feel that if the permit holder is required to pay the
full permit fee it is an incentive for them to complete their work.
Peggy Gregory, Building Compliance Officer, commented that prior to June of 2006 the expiration date was
180 days as long as an inspection was done every 180 days; therefore they were finding a lot of old permits.
Since then the code was changed to read that they could get a new permit with one extension and then it
would expire and now we are running into problems with that. Staff felt that if we made it so that they realize
what they are facing up ahead it gives them an incentive to finish their work. She added that most of the time

3, 2009 so that they can address concerns from the Department of Public Works. Staff is asking for a
continuance of one month with anticipation that we may ask for another continuance until February of 2010.
