site seven years ago. Mr. Figueroa stated he does not have the time or financial resources to
complete the Use by Special Review application. Mr. Figueroa further stated this is not a junkyard
or a salvage yard. All the rail cars that are received are re-cycled out quickly, so there are no
pieces staying in the yard for very long. Ms. Fequeroa stated they have four full time and two part
time employees, and the yard is keep very clean, as seen in the pictures presented to the Board,
marked Exhibit A. After discussing the type of business and the surrounding properties that may
be in violation, the Board directed this case be referred back to the Department of Planning
Services to allow staff to discuss with the property tenants what is needed to obtain a
Nonconforming Use for Industrial Permit, and to also schedule a work session with the property
owners, tenants and surrounding property owners and tenants to cover all permits needed in this
area.
Commissioner Jerke moved to refer VI #0500401 against UP Railroad Company and Paragon
Railcar Salvage, c/o Noah Figueroa, back to the Department of Planning Services, to allow staff
and property owners and tenants to discuss permits available and to schedule a work session with
all property owners and tenants in the surrounding area. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Masden, and it carried unanimously.

property. Ms. Siron stated Irene Moreno contacted her on June 26, 2006, and is requesting more
time to complete the work needed, Neither the property owner nor a representative was present,
and there was no public testimony given.

Dear Sirs:
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 operation of a Railcar Salvage company, located South of Gilcrest on the East
side of Hwy 85, without the proper Site Plan Review(SPR) permit. For questions, I suggest you speak to
one of our"On-Call" Planners. To better serve the public, we have two locations open. Our North office is
located at 918 10`" Street, Greeley, Colorado. At our North office, an "On-Call" Planner is available,
Monday thru Thursday from 7:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Our Southwest office is located at 4209 CR 24.5,
Longmont, Colorado. At our Southwest office, an "On-Call" Planner is available Monday thru Thursday
from 12:30 p.m. -4:30 p.m. You do not need to schedule an appointment, because individuals are seen
on a sign in basis. Neither office will have a planner available on Fridays for walk-ins. To better serve
you, please bring this letter with you.
Please contact me within five working days of the date of this letter to review these concerns with me. 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.

Ms. Siron,
With regards to your request below, I will need more information on the location of these
two (2) properties to confirm the lessee. I have a number of leases in Gilcrest between
Hwy 85 and the tracks and am unsure which lease you are describing. Secondly, the lease
east of Highway 85 at Peckham is, I assume the elevator and feed store. This is leased by
Jeremy James Long and he can be reached at (303) 667-4737 .
Our leases require the Lessees to comply with all local governmental laws, ordinances,
rules, regulations and orders relating to their use of the Property.
Please provide me with more information on the property in Gilcrest.
Thank-you.

Hi Gregg,
I 'm with the Department of Planning Services, Zoning Compliance division.
I have received some complaints on two properties that belong to the railroad Co. and I
need some help as to where letters need to go to inform you guys and the tenants of the
violations that may be on these properties.Also, if you have any information on these sites that may shine a little light on the
details of these potential violations, it would be greatly appreciated.
The first one is located on the East side of Hwy 85 on the South end of town in Gilcrest.
From what I have been told, they are required to have a Site Plan Review and we do not
have any record of one in our files.
The other is a place called Ranchway Feeds. This one is also located on the east side of
Hwy 85 on the North end of Peckham. There are some concerns that they are not falling
within the guidelines of their Site Plan Review or that they may not even have one.
Feel free to contact me by telephone or email at your earliest convenience.
Thank you in advance for your help and cooperation with these matters.

Ann Siron
