Warden Clerk to the Board By: 4C-EilCf. r .,FA Lf'eC/ Deputy Clerk torte Board cc: Assessor January 19,2005 TO: Weld Country Board of Commissioners FROM: Louis and Sue Liley 441 Whitney Harbor Windsor,CO 80550 RE: ADJACENT EMPTY LOT WE WERE NOTIFIED LAST WEEK THAT OUR PETITION TO RECEIVE A PARTIAL REFUND OF OUR PROPERTY TAXES ON THE EMPTY LOT ADJOINING OUR HOME IN WINDSOR IS BEING RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL. I AM APPEARING HERE TODAY IN THE HOPES THAT A REVERSAL OF THE ASSESSOR'S PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATION IS A POSSIBILITY. THESE ARE THE FACTS: MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT THE ADJACENT LOT IN JUNE OF 2003 ON WHICH TO EITHER BUILD OUR FINAL HOME OR TO USE TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF OUR CURRENT PROPERTY AND TO PROTECT OUR PARTIAL VIEW OF THE LAKE. IN THE SPRING OF 2004 WE PUT OUR HOME ON THE MARKET BUT IT DID NOT SELL SO WE TOOK IT OFF THE MARKET IN EARLY WINTER. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE NEW LOT WE MADE IT MORE USABLE BY 1) KEEPING IT MOWED 2) PLANTING A ROSE GARDEN 3) PLANTING A VEGETABLE GARDEN WHICH WE EXPANDED IN 2004,4) PLANTING DOZENS OF TULIP AND DAFFODIL BULBS, 5) PLANTING A BORDER OF TALL ORNAMENTAL GRASSES,6) PLACING LAWN FURNITURE ON THE LAKE SIDE FOR MORNING COFFEE AND SUNSET WATCHING,7) DEPOSITING A LARGE PILE OF GRAVEL TO BE USED FOR A FUTURE HORSESHOE COURT,8) ADDING 8 CUBIC YARDS OF TOPSOIL AND 9) PLANTING A LARGE TREE WHICH HAS SINCE DIED. RECREATIONALLY WE HAVE USED THE EMPTY LOT FOR TWO PARTIES, HORSESHOES, STORING OUR KAYAKS, PRACTICING CHIP SHOTS, AND PLAYING BALL WITH OUR GRANDSON AND OUR KIDS' DOGS. WE REMOVED THE KAYAKS AT OUR NEIGHBOR'S REQUEST. WE HAVE ALLOWED THE PROPERTY TO BE USED FOR STORAGE BY NEARBY NEW CONSTRUCTION FOR LANDSCA?E AND BUILDING MATERIALS. IT ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE BECOME A PATHWAY TO THE LAKE AND FOR DOG WALKING BY MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS. IN REGARD TO THE INSPECTOR'S WRITTEN NOTES: IT IS TRUE THAT WE HAVE NOT PUT A FENCE AROUND THE EMPTY PROPERTY. WE HAVEN'T PUT A FENCE AROUND OUR ADJACENT RESIDENCE EITHER I ALSO AGREE THAT THE LOT HAS A LOT OF WEEDS. THAT'S BECAUSE WE ARE CONSERVING WATER UNTIL WE KNOW WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE GOING TO BUILD ON THE LOT. WE DO KEEP THE WEEDS MOWED. WE AGREE THAT THE LOT IS NOT FULLY UTILIZED. IT IS ONLY PARTIALLY UTILIZED FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES. THAT'S WHY WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR A FULL REFUND. WHAT WE DISAGREE WITH IS THE INSPECTOR'S COMMENT THAT NOTHING IS PLANTED ON THE LOT. THE GARDEN MENTIONED ABOVE IS 8' X 16' AND RAISED WITH TIMBERS. ALL THE PLANTS INCLUDING THE ROSE GARDEN DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE TOTALLY ON THE NEW LOT. WHETHER WE WILL BUILD OUR RETIREMENT HOME ON OUR LOT FOR OURSELVES OR KEEP IT AS AN EXPANSION OF OUR CURRENT PROPERTY IS STILL IN QUESTION. OUR CURRENT HOME IS OFF THE MARKET WHILE WE PONDER OUR NEXT MOVE. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CONTINUED USE OF THE EMPTY LOT AS AN EXTENSION OF OUR ADJOINING HOME QUALIFIES IT FOR THE PARTIAL TAX REFUND THAT WE HAVE REQUESTED. WE HOPE THAT THE BOARD AGREES.
