Subject: growth in the unincorporated county
To: Weld Board of County Commissioners
Dear Commissioners:
I would like to respond to some or your comments on MF1060 for a nine lot minor subdivision as
reported in the hearing certification, as follows:
Commissioner Geile stated he understands the public concern regarding small developments in
agricultural areas in Weld County; however, that issue has been addressed in the updated
Comprehensive Plan, at which time the Board acknowledged that Weld County is a County in transition
and growth in the area will continue. He stated the regulations help ensure this type of development fits
in with anticipated future growth in the area. Chair Jerke stated this is a very typical development on a
parcel of land that is difficult to farm with limited water. He stated he prefers to see a well-designed
development rather than weeds or mobile homes.
[1] Some changes in the updated Comprehensive Plan that promoted the urbanization of rural Weld
County were passed by the board despite the opposition of some members of the public, planning
commission and dept. of planning services.
[2] Weld County is , indeed, a growing area and will continue to grow. However, this growth should
take place within municpalities. By planing acreage sized lots in areas that may be surrounded by
municpalities in the future and may not fit in with their comprehensive plans, or not be in areas close to
municipalities where these county subdivisions will continue to be dependent on certain services
provided by municpalities.
[3] There is no assurance that there won't be weeds on these newly created parcels, and mobile homes
can only be placed on the original parcel with the approval of county goverment. John Folsom
