changes is shown on Exhibit B. Chair Jerke stated the change is necessary because District 2 keeps
growing at a faster pace than Districts 1 and 3,and to keep the population levels even in each District,the
lines have to be adjusted. Commissioner Masden moved to approve the draft resolution. The motion,
which was seconded by Commissioner Long, carried unanimously.
PLANNING:
CONSIDER RECORDED EXEMPTION #3948 - GEORGE AND BETTY HALL: Sheri Lockman,
Department of Planning Services, stated this is a two-lot Recorded Exemption, on property which was
recently before the Board as a Probable Cause Hearing for stockpiling in the floodway. She stated the site
is not eligible to be subdivided by the Recorded Exemption process, because the five-year period has not
expired since the last change. She presented a Memo, marked Exhibit A, requesting changes to the
proposed Conditions of Approval,and a Letter from the Town of Windsor, marked Exhibit B,verifying the
Town will serve water and sewer to the property. Responding to Chair Jerke, Ms. Lockman stated the
reason for the recommendation for denial is that the applicant will not meet the five-year time frame until
August. Responding further,she stated there are 37 total acres;however,LotA is approximately ten acres.
Julie Cozad,applicant's representative,referenced the letter from Windsor stating water and sewer will be
available through the Town. She presented a letter, marked Exhibit C, stating the applicant will complete
a Conditional Letter of Map Revision(CLOMR)and Letter of Map Revision (LOMR)through FEMA,Weld
County,Larimer County,and the Town of Windsor,prior to any development occurring on the proposed Lot
B, which is currently in the Floodway District. She stated the issue of stockpiles located in the area was
resolved by the Board of County Commissioners on March 21,2005. Ms.Cozad stated that separating the
entire parcel into two lots would allow the applicant to pursue a LOMR on Lot A, which would allow
development faster than on Lot B,which will require both a CLOMR and LOMR. Ms.Cozad explained the
four maps attached to Exhibit B, and stated Windsor has a need for workforce housing, or multi-family
housing on Lot A. She stated since Lot A is only in the floodplain, and the LOMR can bring it out of the
floodplain,the applicant would like to split the ten-acre parcel off. She stated the applicant feels the parcel
is eligible because the intent of the five-year time frame was to reduce urban sprawl in non-urban areas'
however,this is an urbanized area. She stated the applicant intends to annex Lot A into Windsor,and she
reviewed the roads that will be used for access. Ms. Cozad also stated Lot A will follow the configuration
of the pond, not be a square, as shown on the plot drawing. Responding to Commissioner Geile, Ms.
Cozad stated that by splitting off the ten acres,they can accomplish a LOMR instead of having to do the
more complex CLOMR. Ms.Cozad reiterated they will proceed with annexation of the ten acres;however,
Windsor will not annex the entire portion without both the CLOMR and LOMR. Commissioner Geile moved
to approve Recorded Exemption#3948,with changes as recommended by staff. The motion,which was
seconded by Commissioner Vaad, carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
consent agenda. No Ordinances were approved.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted by
the Acting Clerk to the Board.
