RE: YOUR LETTER TO COMMISSIONER MASDEN OF APRIL 24, 2007
Dear Mr. Jones:
The following is a coordinated response from the Public Works and Planning Departments of Weld
County Government.
The response to Paragraph A of your letter is:
It appears that Weld County does not have Right of Way on this road, there is only an easement
granted by the original owner at the time the lots were divided. We could accept the road fm
maintenance if the criteria established in the Weld County Code, Section 8.6-150 are followed. I have
attached a copy of this section of the Code.
The response to Paragraph B of your letter is:
Planning Services will conduct a field investigation of he area on Monday, May 14, 2007. The
investigation will be conducted by Bethany Salzman of County Code Compliance. Her telephone
number is 970-356-4000 extension 3555.
The response to Paragraph C of your letter is:
There is not a noise restriction in tie agricultural zone district.
The response to Paragraph D of your letter is:
This response is complex. Properties 11760, 11790, 11822 were addressed prior to 1990. Property
11830 was addressed in 2003 and 11670 accesses directly off CR 49. 24779, 2428, 24948, all are
addressed off CR 24.75.

County Road 24.75 is considered a Private Road. Planning suggests a directory be posted at the entry
off CR 49 by the people who reside on CR 24.75. If you and your neigh rs should decide to petition
the Board of County Commissioners after completion of the requirement f the County Code, the
properties on 24.75 could be re-addressed.
Hopefully, this answers the questions you raised.
Sincerely,
PAT PERSICHINO

Weld County Commissioner to fi,�

Robert Masden,
I believe you are the commissioner for the area I live
in. I have some questions I would like resolved.
A. I would like to know the criteria for Weld County
to maintain a dirt road. I live on an unmarked road.
There are eight other houses on the road, totaling
nine. The road is about 1 .7 miles north of road 22,
and goes % mile east of road 49.
The county does not maintain the road.
In adverse weather we have no access to fire or
emergency services. Twice this winter we were all
stuck at home. We were unable to get anywhere.
Driving in or out was not possible for two days each
time. Repeated calls to Weld County did not help. I
notice county equipment plowing roads with no
homes on some roads.
There are some school age children in some of the
homes on the road.
B. Some homes in this area have numerous parked,
apparently disabled vehicles. What are the
restrictions for vehicles and junk areas?
C. There seem to be no noise restrictions in this area.
This has recently become a problem with the
increased population here. Are there noise laws for
this area?
D. I am familiar with Weld County Road Code used
to locate addresses. It seems the code does not work
here. On various occasions I have seen emergency
response teams, both fire and emergency squads go
into one or more dirt roads here looking for an
address. I have had Sheriff Deputies, fire trucks and
ambulances stop and ask for an address. What can be
done to correct this?
Thank you,
George L. Jones
