The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated July 20,2007,and duly published July 25,2007,in the
Fort Lupton Press,a public hearing was conducted to consider the request of Brent Haugen for a
Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit#1612 for a Home Business
(vehicle repair) in the A(Agricultural)Zone District. Cyndy Giauque, Assistant County Attorney,
made this a matter of record. Jacqueline Hatch,Department of Planning Services,presented a brief
summary of the proposal and entered the favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission
into the record as written. She stated the site is located east of County Road15 and south of County
Road 22,within the Casa Grande Estates Subdivision. She gave a brief description of the uses of
surrounding properties, and stated the site is serviced with water from the Central Weld County
Water District, and a septic system handles the effluent flow. She stated the site is currently in
violation for operating as a vehicle repair facility without the proper permits;however,the violation
has not yet been presented to the Board of County Commissioners. She clarified if the application
is approved,the violation will be closed;however,if the application is denied,the violation process
will continue. Ms. Hatch stated no letters have been received from surrounding property owners,
and the site is located within the three-mile referral area for the Towns of Firestone and Frederick;
however, neither Town returned a referral response. She stated the site is also located within the
Intergovernmental Agreement boundary for the Town of Firestone and a notice of inquiry was sent
in January, 2007,with no response from the Town. She reviewed Section 19-2-60.A of the Weld
County Code for the record, and stated staff assumes the municipalities have no objection since
a referral response was not returned. She further stated an Annexation Agreement with the Town
of Firestone is required through Condition of Approval #1.K. Ms. Hatch stated the applicant will
utilize the existing 7,200-square-foot structure on the site for vehicle repair,and an exterior storage
yard will accommodate temporary storage of large items. She stated the storage yard is located
behind the existing structure,and is screened from view,and no long-term storage is proposed on
the site. She further stated nine referral agencies reviewed the request and five provided comments

which have been addressed within the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards. She
stated the applicant has requested to utilize two employees at the site, and the Department of
Planning Services does not object to the request. She requested the first sentence of Development
Standard#3 be modified to state"Two additional employees are permitted." In response to Chair
Long,Ms.Hatch stated only employee vehicles and personal vehicles of the applicant will be parked
outside of the vehicle repair structure.
Char Davis, Department of Public Health and Environment, stated the site is serviced with water
from the Central Weld County Water District, and a septic system handles the effluent flow. She
stated the septic system will need to be reviewed by an engineer to determine compliance with the
proposed uses on the site. She further stated the applicant is required to submit a Waste Handling
Plan, a Dust Abatement Plan, and an Air Pollution Emissions Notice (A.P.E.N.) and Emissions
Permit application,due to the paint booth located on the site. Responding to Chair Long,Ms.Smith
stated a septic system has been installed for the shop facility, and the residence also contains a
septic system.
Don Carroll, Department of Public Works,stated the site is accessed from Del Camino Lane,and
the site contains a circle drive which provides access to the shop facility and the residence. He
stated the access, parking, and circulation on the site are adequate, and Del Camino Lane is a
paved road.
Brent Haugen,applicant,stated he resides on the site,and he does not want to be a negative impact
to the neighboring properties. He stated occasionally a car sits outside of the shop; however,the
vehicles are generally kept indoors and the screened storage area is not visible from the street or
neighboring properties. He clarified his personal yellow truck is located on the site,which is his way
of providing identification to the site. He stated he currently averages approximately one customer
per week,and if he were allowed to hire two additional employees, he could serve approximately
three to four customers per week. He further stated the shop facility is not a mainstream business,
and it will not generate a large amount of traffic. In response to Chair Long, Mr. Haugen stated he
could continue to operate the shop without employing outside employees; however,he would not
be able to take vacations. Responding to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Haugen stated he provides
collision work on vehicles within his body shop. He further stated the shop does contain a paint
booth, which is state-of-the-art and compliant with strict emissions standards. He clarified the
residence of the surrounding property owner to the west is closer to the shop building than his
personal residence, and he works to keep the business environmentally friendly. In response to
Commissioner Garcia,Mr.Haugen stated the Frederick/Firestone Fire Protection District completed
a inspection of the site, and the necessary requirements that need to be implemented within the
shop are all readily fixable. He clarified he will complete the necessary requirements once he gains
approval from the Board.
No public testimony was offered concerning this matter.
Chair Long stated he is comfortable with the modification of Development Standard#3 as described
by Ms. Hatch, and the Board concurred. In response to Chair Long, Mr. Haugen stated he has
reviewed,and concurs with,the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards,as modified.

In response to Commissioner Masden, Ms. Smith stated the applicant is required to contact the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to determine if an A.P.E.N.and Emissions
Permit are required. Commissioner Masden commented the State has recently become more
stringent with air quality. Mr. Haugen stated he does not believe he will have trouble complying with
the State regulations regarding air pollution, especially since he utilizes his paint booth less
frequently than commercial body shops.
Commissioner Garcia moved to approve the request of Brent Haugen for a Site Specific
Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit#1612 for Home Business(vehicle repair)
in the A(Agricultural)Zone District, based on the recommendations of the Planning staff and the
Planning Commission,with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards as entered into
the record. His motion included the modification of the first sentence of Development Standard#3,
as previously described. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Jerke, and it carried
unanimously. There being no further discussion, the hearing was completed at 10:25 a.m.
This Certification was approved on the 13th day of August 2007.
