This land use permit was conditionally approved pending action by DCP Midstream. Review of the case file finds no activity after the March 18, 2009 public hearing. It is important to state that Section 23-2-200.E provides timelines for completing the requirements associated with this case. For reference, the citation is as follows: "If the Use by Special Review has not commenced within three (3) years from the date of approval or is discontinued for a period of three (3) consecutive years, it shall be presumed inactive. The COUNTY shall initiate an administrative hearing to consider whether to grant an extension of time to commence the use or revoke the Use by Special Review. If the Use by Special Review is revoked, it shall be necessary to follow the procedures and requirements of this Section in order to reestablish any Use by Special Review." At the Commissioners hearing, DCPMidstream requested 30 days to record the 4th AmUSR # 552 plat. The date for providing the required documents and submitting the Improvement Agreement, Collateral and recording the plat has passed. Given this condition, staff may impose Weld County Code Ordinance 2005-7 approved June 1, 2005, should the plat not be recorded within the required thirty (30) days from the date the Board of County Commissioners Resolution was approved a $50.00 recording continuance charge may be ece Wino e -f Q1 //-i-a&/o added for each additional 3 month period. This current penalty assessed as of June 29, 2009 is fifty (50.00) dollars. The Department of Planning Services is aware of the difficulty and associated delays in meeting the Conditions of Approval normally associated with land use cases; and this office is willing to work with you. At this juncture, this office is requesting a letter from you indicating that the project has not been abandoned and that it is the intention of DCP Midstream to complete this project, addressing and meeting all of the conditions of approval in a timely manner. Should a written response on letterhead not be received by July 15, 2009, this office will take the appropriate action.
