Dear Mr. & Mrs. Bucher:
The property referenced above remains in violation of the Weld County Code. I have scheduled a meeting with
the Board of County Commissioners on September 10,2002,at 10:00 a.m.,to consider the violations occurring
on the property. As we have previously discussed the above mentioned property is in violation of the following
Section(s)of the Weld County Code:

Section 23-3-20 "Uses allowed by right."
Section 23-3-30 "Accessory uses."
Section 23-3-40 "Uses by special review."
Section 23-3-40.O "Home Business."
Section 23-3-40.R "Any use permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use or a Use by Special Review in the
Commercial or Industrial Zone Districts,provided that the property is not a Lot in an approved or recorded subdivision
plat or lots parts of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of any regulations controlling subdivisions."
To bring your property into compliance with the Weld County Code: •
A Use by Special Review application shall be completed and submitted for review or the use shall cease to exist.
Additionally,because this property is located within a recorded subdivision,this business would be required to fall

Business would not allow for any outdoor storage,including but not limited to,work trucks,tree mulches,wood,
etc...
HOME BUSINESS: An incidental USE to the principal permitted USE for gainful employment of the FAMILY
residing on the property,where:
a. Such USE is conducted primarily within a DWELLING UNIT or ACCESSORY STRUCTURE and
principally carried on by the FAMILY resident therein.
b. Such USE is clearly incidental and secondary to the principal permitted USE ar.d shall not change the
character thereof.
Ordinarily,a HOME BUSINESS shall not be interpreted to include thefollowing: clinic,HOSPITAL,nursing home,

meet together for instruction on a regular basis(does not include classes sponsored by a PUBLIC SCHOOL).

Good Morning,
My name is Patty Bucher. I have been a land owner in Weld County 25 years. I have worked for
Adams County for 25 years, so I am well aware of government rules and regulations. But I feel we are
Not in violation of any of the Weld County codes listed on the letters we received from the Dept.
Of Planning Services. After the first letter came on May 21, 2002, I went to the Greeley location and
met with Bethany Salzman. Bethany gave me a packet for Use by Special Review and said that was my
only option to come into compliance. The more I read of the packet, the more I was convinced that it
does not pertain to my circumstance. I took the packet to the Southwest location and spoke to Lauren.
Lauren answered questions about the packet but she told me if you really don't feel you are in violation
Call Bethany again or the Commissioners' office. I called Bethany again, she answered many questions
but she still persisted we are in violation. I then got another letter from Bethany on June 7. In this letter
she states"we are here to assist and cooperate with you without imposing any undue hardships,
however we have no discretion in this matter if you fail to correct this violation. According to Bethany,
To come into compliance we must:
1. Pay an $1100.00 packet fee.
2. Pay a$600.00 fee to a certified attorney to trace who owns the mineral rights on our property.{ We
have that information already from when we bought our property but that's not good enough
according to the Planning Dept.
3. Pay approx. $40,000.00 to have a building constructed to hide our vehicles in
4. Pay approx. $5,000.00 to construct a privacy fence to hide our firewood.
5. Pay an additional $500.00 investigative fee if I choose to fight this violation.
This list adds up to the amount of$47,200 and I consider this amount a very large hardship. After
receiving that letter and adding up the costs involved I called Commissioner Jerke. We discussed the
situation of bring our work trucks home to be parked on our own property and the number of other
people who bring their company vehicles home after work. I told Mr. Jerke that I could camcord at
least 10-20 other homes in our neighborhood that bring their company vehicles home every night. He
said if I knew of 20 there were probably 40 around and hopefully none were Weld County Sheriff cars
or other County vehicles when I stared taking pictures. Mr. Jerke said he would call Bethany and see
what she had to say about it really being a violation. He said he would get back to me in a few days. He
never called me back.
Next I received a certified letter notifying me of this meeting, and saying I would be allowed to voice
my concerns about this matter.
Since the first letter arrived in May I have spent many many hours in research, phone calls, trips to
Gieeley& Longmont to try to resolve this matter.
I have made a packet of everything I will be referring to so you can see why I feel I am not in violation.
I have underlined pertinent lines as none of us has time to read all the information I have gathered.
Please excuse my notes on these pages.

In the matter of firewood on our property, it is for our own personal use. We went to court in Weld
County in 1992 and Judge Robert Behrman ruled in our favor saying there is no regulations in the codes
against having firewood on the property. The court case number was 90-CV-772.
I would like to finish by saying I feel this whole situation is an invasion of my privacy as a citizen and a
landowner in Weld County. I would like to ask if any of you would feel your rights were being violated
by a County employee coming to your house with a camcorder to take pictures of your yard and what
vehicles you park in your driveway.
Thank-you for letting me voice my concerns and feelings in this matter and I will await your decision on
whether it is indeed a violation to bring your work vehicles home.
My husband went through our neighborhood asking people if they had a problem with our vehicles
driving through the streets or parking on our property.Not one person he talked to had a problem with
either and they all signed a paper stating that they didn't have a problem with your issues.
Thank-You
