Subject: VI-0100304, Part of the NW4 of Section 32,T4N, R68W of the 6th P.M.,Weld County,
Colorado
Dear Mr. &Mrs. Harris:
The property referenced above remains in violation of the Weld County Code. I have scheduled a
meeting with the Board of County Commissioners on December 14,2004, at 10:00 a.m., to consider
the violations occurring on the property. The above mentioned property remains in violation of the
following Section(s) of the Weld County Code:
Chapter 23, Article Ill, Div 1 "A(Agricultural)Zone District"
Section 23-3-20 "Uses allowed by right."
Section 23-3-20.A "One (1) Single-Family Dwelling Unit and Auxiliary Quarters per
Legal Lot."
Section 23-3-30 "Accessory uses."
Section 23-3-30.F "MOBILE HOME subject to the additional requirements of Article IV,
Division 3 of this Chapter."
Chapter 23, Article IV, Div 3 "Mobile Homes"
Section 23-4-130 "No MOBILE HOME may be located or relocated in the County after
August 25, 1981, except in accordance with this Division, including the issuance of any
zoning permit which may be required by this Section. Each MOBILE HOME located or
relocated in the County after said date must have a BUILDING permit for a MOBILE
HOME issued pursuant to Chapter 29 of this Code. An application for any zoning or
building permit for a MOBILE HOME required by this Division shall include the following:"
To bring the property into compliance:
As previously indicated via letter (dated September 30, 2004), staff determined the
mobile home(previously permitted through ZPMH-1023)did not meet the criteria for re-
justification of an Accessory to the Farm, However, during a visual inspection from the
road right-of-way, it was noted that the mobile home remains located on the property. In
order to maintain the mobile home as a dwelling unit, a Recorded Exemption application
to split the lot into 2 (two) separate buildable lots shall be completed and submitted to
the Department of Planning Services. Otherwise, in order to store the mobile home on
the property, a Zoning Permit for Temporary Storage shall be completed and submitted
to the Department of Planning Services. This application would only allow the mobile
home to remain on the property for 6 (six) months. The mobile home would then need
to be removed.
Mr.&Mrs.Eichler
Page 2,VI-0100304
This meeting will take place in the County Commissioners' Hearing Room, First Floor, Weld County
Centennial Center,91510th Street, Greeley,Colorado. It is recommended that you or a representative
be in attendance to answer any questions the Board of County Commissioners might have about the
violations.
Please also be advised that I will be taking video and/or pictures from the road or adjacent properties
the business day before or as soon as possible to the above mentioned Violation Hearing date.
The Department of Planning Services' staff will be recommending that the Board of County
Commissioners authorize the County Attorney to proceed with legal action to remedy the violation. Our
records indicate that you were made aware of the nature of the violation including the action necessary
to correct the violation,and that you were given sufficient time to remedy this violation. If you have any
questions concerning this matter, please call me.

RE: ZPMH-1023 - Mobile Home used as a temporary accessory to the farm.
Dear Mr. Eichler:
I apologize for the delay of this letter,as 1 have been out of the office for three months. Planning staff met to
discuss the renewal of your permit, and has denied this request, due to the size of the parcel and lack of
information as to the duties of the occupant. Should you choose to appeal this decision,you may go before
the Board of County Commissioners. Another option you may have, is to do a recorded exemption,which
would enable you to continue to have the mobile home on your property.
Please contact our office within 10 days of receipt of this letter as to how you wish to proceed. Failure to do
so will result in moving forward with the existing violation.
Should you have any further questions, please contact me at the above address or telephone number.

TO: Bruce Barker, County Attorney
COLORADO DATE: January 23, 2002
FROM: Voneen Macklin, Planning Technician I
SUBJECT: Heiko Eichler
Attached you will find a letter from Mr. Eichler dated November 14, 2001that states the existing
mobile home is occupied by a person customarily employed at or engaged in the operation of
the use where the mobile home is located. There is also a copy of the employment contract
between Mr. Eichler and Mr. Hart, occupant of the aforementioned trailer.
In looking at the Permits Plus for the Planning and Building Department and conferring with a
Building Technician it was determined that there are no building permits for a pole barn, or
other structure on this property.
Bethany Salzman, Zoning Compliance, was conferred with concerning this outstanding issue.
Per Bethany, it was her understanding that Wendi Inloes, Planning Technician III, would be
addressing the issue of the Mobile Home as an Accessory to the Farm when she returns from
maternity leave in early March 2002.
At present no action has been taken as the individual who has the information and background
is out of the office (Wendi). Should it be determined that Planning Services should proceed
with action, another individual from this department will present the case to the Board of County
Commissioners.
End memorandum.

Weld County Department of Planning Services
To whom it may concern: November 14th,2001
In answer to your letter of November 5th,2001,I would like to take issue with the Department's ruling
regarding the existing mobile home on my property that was approved over 10 years ago as an accessory
farm use by right in the A district,as determined by the planning department(43.2.3.1),and request that
this decision be reviewed and ultimately be approved.
I have testified and demonstrated that the mobile home is occupied by a person customarily employed at or
engaged in the operation of the use where the mobile home is located(43.2.3.1.1) See attached employment
contract between myself and Mr. Russell Hart.
The mobile home is necessary for the effective and economic operation of the use and/or protection of the
agricultural use(43.2.3.1.2.)
This mobile home has never been used and is not now used as an income source by myself or my family
for rental to persons not principally employed upon the A district property.(43.2.3.1.3.)
Adequate water and sewage disposal facilities are installed and approved by the Weld County Building
Depamn ent.(43.2.3.1.4)
This mobile home is also NOT the first dwelling unit on the parcel of land(43.2.3.1.5)
At the recent hearing in front of the Board of County Commissioners in another,but related matter,one of
the Commissioners questioned me as to the income I derive from my farming,gardening and ranching
operation and in my opinion that question was totally uncalled for and out of line.
Where in the ordinance does it stipulate that:
A) The farming, gardening or ranching operation has to be a business and
B) If it is a business,where does it stipulate that it has to be profitable?
The Commissioner also questioned how I could possibly irrigate vegetable or nursery stock with my 5/8"
city water tap. Again that question was in my opinion totally out of line. However I have enclosed a copy
of my water bill for the growing season of 2001as proof that$700 worth of water can't possibly be used to
wash dishes and flush toilets. The ordinance that describes that activity is 31.2.4 of the code.
Another use by right is stipulated in 31.2.5,temporary storage, in transit,of crops, vegetables,plants,
flowers and nursery stock NOT RAISED on the premises and not for sale on said premises. This is an
activity I described at the hearing and is an occasional use of my agricultural lot.
Grazing of livestock is another use allowed by right and that may be my livestock or someone elses
(31.2.7)This is also one of my agricultural activities.
I also maintain and use a structure or structures for storage of equipment and agricultural products (31.3.1)
We also conduct dog training as well as canine competitions 3 to 4 times a year as sanctioned by the
American Kennel Club,as do a number of my neighbors and I believe this to also fall into the category of
use by right.
Mr. Russell Hart,the employee living in the mobile home in question,is an absolutely essential part of my
farm as grounds keeper and maintenance man.
For instance,the County's department for noxious weed control contacts me annually with a demand for
positive control of thistle and other noxious weeds. If I do not comply,the County has the authority to send
in a contractor to do the job and they can bill me whatever the traffic will bear.If I do not or can not pay,
the County will attach a lien to my property and if that lien is not satisfied within certain time limits,my
property could conceivably be auctioned off to satisfy such liens.
Not a pretty picture.
I rather hire my own man to take care of such agricultural activities at a known expense to me.
I would appreciate that the Planning Department's decisions NOT be made based upon rumors,innuendo
and outright lies by some malevolent neighbor,but as a result of honest investigation and evidence that the
staff may reasonably require,and on the basis of my signed statement.(43.2.2.5)
Any ONE of these uses by right would be sufficient for the approval of the mobile home on my A district
property. What else do I have to do to prove to the Commission that I really have a lot of agricultural
activity on my place and need Mr. Hart to live here?
I called a number of times to get an appointment with one of your planners and left voice messages. That
was over a week ago and I have not had a single call returned.
I wouldeftpreciate to be contacted soon, so this matter can be discussed and resolved.

910 Tenth Street
Greeley, CO
Gentlemen:
We are writing you to call attention to the hearing we attended
with Mr. Heikio Eichler on 5th of November where he applied for a
second mobile home permit. We are dismayed that someone can
go in front of a Government board and be dishonest. We wish to
point out some discrepancies.
First, he stated that he knew nothing of a "rental agreement" with
Harris'. We know that Harris' have had cattle on his land much of
the time since we moved here ten years ago_ He also got up and
stated that the reason we wanted to get this mobile home permit
denied was because we were mad that he wouldn't rent the west
end to us. The west end is mostly weeds and no fence. We have
asked a couple of times about renting the east half and he told us
that he had an agreement with Harris's.
Concerning the issue that he was NOT building this home but a
pole barn, he informed us that he was building a home. When the
building started we asked him if that was where he was going to
build the home and he told us yes it was. We did ask what
access road they planned to use for his new home. Mrs. Eichler
told us that our driveway was "their road and they were going to
use it". Even at that bit of misinformation, we Dever told them that
they couldn't use the road - as he said in his statement at the
meeting.
We are concerned about his use of the old mobile home as a
rental unit. The man who rented it before the fellow who lives in it
now, worked at the Post Office for several years. The current
renter tells us he works for Mr. Eichler in his Heritage Mail
business. This old mobile home is truly an "eye sore" and lowers
the value of our property. Some of our local acquaintances have
asked us over the years why we hadn't protested its presence
z"),Ot-iaaa)9
2001-3466
(VY2.42trLI (3?-n4
4x772/d 7 ;JLn-i-[o7
because of its appearance and since it does not meet the criteria
of housing a "farm worker."
We do not believe that he has a nursery business where he is
growing out plants. What kind of farmers, in this area, buy little
plants and put them in the dirt and let them grow up and then put
them back in pots and sell them - all in the spring while people
are still buying plants. How long of a growing season does he
one have without a green house? We have a large garden and
buy plants all over the area_ Never have we seen any sign of
plants or advertising for plants at Eichlers.
You may also want to know that the man who rents the trailer
recently stopped our daughter and talked to her. He was leaving
the Heritage Mail business and was very, very upset - even
shaking. He was telling her things like Mr. Eichler had lately been
more upset than ever! Mr. Eichler had told him that "we just
moved here four months ago and were ruining everything". He
asked our daughter when we moved here and then said he used
to live in Harris' mobile home and he thought Mr. Eichler was lying
about how long we had lived here, But he then stated "he lies
about everything."
We are concerned about the situation and hope you will earnestly
pursue the matter. We think it is obvious that he has a disregard
for the laws and rules that govern use and development of his
land. That attitude is frightening when we have seen him time
and again ignore the rules and lie about his situation. Where will it
end?? His statement that his handicapped wife was going to have
to work more on the farm if you denied another mobile home was
amazing. They do not own farm animals. They obviously want to
adopt Harris' when it is convenient.
Please pursue this with all due process of the laws which apply.
Thank you for your service and your help in this matter.
Sincerely, / A eaAttscaCarl and Sandra Hatch

RE: ZPMH-1023 -A Mobile Home used for an Accessory to the Farm located on part of the NW4 of Section
32, T4N, R68W of the 6'" P.M., Weld County, Colorado.
Dear Mr. Eichler:
The Department of Planning Staff has denied the request for the renewal of ZPMH-1023 for the accessory to the
farm as there is not enough justification for this mobile home located on your property. This mobile home will need
to be removed within 30 days of receipt of this letter, or you do have the option to go back before the Board of County
Commissioners for this request. There is an active violation on this site that the mobile home could also be included
into if you need more time.
If you should have any questions, please contact me at the above address or telephone number.
Sincerely,
Wendi Inloes-

Subject: VI-0100304, Part of the NW4 of Section 32, T4N, R68W of the 6" P.M.,Weld County, Colorado
Dear Mr. Eichler:
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. The potential noncompliance with the Weld County Code is a
commercial business without a Use by Special Review permit. Additionally, a "Noncommercial Junkyard"
consisting of a couple of derelict vehicles and miscellaneous debris.
For your convenience, I have added the appropriate definitions:
DERELICT VEHICLE: A vehicle that is inoperable(unable to move under its own power);or is partially or totally dismantled;or
has all or portions of its bodywork missing or is substantially damaged;or is not registered with the State of Colorado,as required
by Section 42-3-103,CRS,or by Sections 42-3-138 or 42-12-102,CRS,and/or the number plate assigned to it is not permanently
attached to the vehicle,as required by Section 42-3-123,CRS;or is lacking proper equipment to the extent that it would be unsafe
or illegal to USE on public road rights-of-way or otherwise not equipped with lamps and other equipment as required in Sections
42-4-202 to 42-2-227, CRS. This definition shall not include; implements of husbandry,farm tractors, or vehicles customarily
operated in a FARMING operation.
SCREENED: Construction and maintenance of fences,earth berms or the USE of LANDSCAPING materials or other materials
USED with the approval of the Department of Planning Services to lessen the noise, light, heat or visual impacts of a USE on
surrounding USES.
NONCOMMERCIAL JUNKYARD: An area where any waste, junk, or used or second hand materials are stored or handled,
including, but not limited to scrap iron and other metals, paper, rags, rubber tires, building materials, and bottles. A
Noncommercial Junkyard may also include the storage or keeping of derelict vehicles. The Noncommercial Junkyard shall be
totally enclosed within a building or structure or visually screened from all adjacent properties and public rights-of-way.
JUNK:Scrap brass, iron, lead, tin,zinc;all other scrap metals and alloys; bones; rags; used cloth, rope, rubber,tinfoil, bottles,
old or used machinery of any type; used tools, used appliances; used lumber or crates; building materials; fabrication of any
material;used pipe or pipe fittings;used conduit or conduit fittings;used automobile parts;derelict vehicles;used tires and other
manufactured goods that are so worn, deteriorated, or obsolete as to make them unusable in their existing condition.
Please contact me within five working days of the date of this letter to review these concerns with me. Failure
to show progress or to close the violation, will result in a thirty-day violation notice being issued. 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.
