Subject: VI-0600352, Lot 3, Block 1, Ranch Eggs Inc., 2nd Filing. Weld County, Colorado
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Zahn:
It has come to the attention of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the uses on your property may
not be in compliance with the Weld County Code, Chapter 23. The potential noncompliance with the Weld
County Code is the presence of DERELICT VEHICLES and COMMERCIAL VEHICLES. When situated
within the boundaries of a Subdivision, such as Ranch Eggs, all "Commercial Vehicles" require additional
permitting. I did have an individual call me and notify me that he was in the process of trying to remove some
vehicles, until I know what he is hoping to maintain on the property, I am unable to direct you further on how to
bring the property into compliance.
NONCOMMERCIAL JUNKYARD: An area where any waste, junk or used or secondhand
materials are stored or handled, including but not limited to scrap iron and other metals, paper,
rags, rubber tires, building materials and bottles. A NONCOMMERCIAL JUNKYARD may also
include the storage or keeping of DERELICT VEHICLES registered last or currently registered
under the property owner and/or tenant's name.
This definition does not include COMMERCIAL VEHICLES. If the Zone district allows, the
NONCOMMERCIAL JUNKYARD shall be totally ENCLOSED within a BUILDING or
STRUCTURE or visually SCREENED from all ADJACENT properties and public rights-of-way.
DERELICT VEHICLE: A vehicle that is inoperable (unable to move under its own power); is
partially or totally dismantled; has all or portions of its body work missing or is substantially
damaged; is not registered with the State, as required by Section 42-3-103, C.R.S.,or by Section
42-3-138 or 42-12-102, C.R.S., and/or the number plate assigned to it is not permanently
attached to the vehicle, as required by Section 42-3-123, C.R.S.; or is lacking proper equipment
to the extent that it would be unsafe or illegal to USE on public road rights-of-way or otherwise not
equipped with lamps and other equipment as required in Sections 42-4-202 to 42-2-227, C.R.S.
This definition shall not include implements of husbandry, farm tractors or vehicles customarily
operated in a FARMING operation.
SERVICE,TEAMWORK,INTEGRITY,QUALITY
Mr.&Mrs.Zahn
Page 2,VI-0600352
SCREENED: Construction and maintenance of fences, earth berms or the USE of
LANDSCAPING materials or other materials USED with the approval of the Department of
Planning Services to lessen the noise,light, heat or visual impacts of a USE on surrounding uses.
A SCREENING PLAN shall be submitted and approved by the Department of Planning Services.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLE: Any vehicle, other than an automobile, used or previously used to
facilitate an activity where goods, products or services are bought, sold or transferred in
ownership on a fee, contract or barter basis, excluding those uses listed by right and accessory
uses in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE shall include, but is not
limited to,semi-trailers,dump trucks, construction equipment,railroad cars and cargo containers.
A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE shall not be allowed to deteriorate to the condition of a DERELICT
VEHICLE.
This Violation case is a follow-up to letters that were sent to the entire Ranch Eggs community on June 2nd.
Several Violation cases were initiated as a result.
If you feel this letter has reached you in error or you have want to discuss how to bring the property into
compliance, please contact me within five working days of the date of this letter. Feel free to contact me at
the above address, telephone number or e-mail address. If you wish to see me personally, please call to
schedule an appointment so that I may reserve a sufficient amount of time with you.
