The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that a public hearing was conducted to consider whether to authorize the County
Attorney to proceed with legal action against the individuals named for violations of the Weld
County Zoning Ordinance. Cases were heard as follows:
VI #9900318 - JAMES WENZINGER: Joe Mendez, Department of Planning Services
representative, presented the case report for the record and stated the property is in violation of
Sections 70.5 and 70.5.1 of the Weld County Building Code Ordinance. To remedy the violation,
Mr. Mendez indicated the mobile home currently being used for storage must be scrapped,
removed from the property, or have the final inspections completed. Bruce Barker, County
Attorney, stated there is a dispute concerning the location of the property line, and the setbacks
cannot be determined until it is resolved. He recommended a one-year continuance, with Mr.
Mendez checking the progress on the property line dispute in approximately six months, to see
whether it is resolved.
James Wenzinger, property owner, stated there is a difference of 159 feet involved in the property
line dispute and a number of surveys have been done; however, the property owners have not
agreed with the County on an appropriate surveyor. Commissioner Baxter stated there were a
number of parties involved, since they all did not agree about the cost of the survey, it fell through.
Responding to Commissioner Geile, Mr. Wenzinger stated his intent is to sell this property, then
he will leave Weld County, since he feels the records are not accurate or up-to-date and he does
not intend to remain where he has to work through this system.
No public testimony was given. Responding to Chair Kirkmeyer, Mr. Barker stated a year would
be sufficient time to resolve the violation, since the property dispute may take that long if court
action is required.

Commissioner Geile moved to refer VI#9900318 against James Wenzinger to the County Attorney
for legal action, with the instruction to delay action upon such referral until July 11, 2001, to allow
adequate time for the property line dispute to be settled and the violation to be resolved. The
motion was seconded by Commissioner Baxter, and it carried unanimously.
VI #9900260 - JOHN AND MARY HAITHCOAT: Mr. Mendez presented the case report for the
record and stated the property is in violation of Sections 20.8.1, 20.8.2.2, 20.8.2.4, 20.8.4, 20.8.6,
50.5.3, 60.5.2, and 70.3.4 of the Weld County Building Code Ordinance. Mr. Mendez stated to
correct the violation, final approval is required, which includes the Certificate of Occupancy and all
other inspections required to complete the final inspections. Mr. Mendez stated the mobile home
was to be used during construction of the residence and the appropriate building permits have been
issued for the home, which is near completion; however, the final inspection for the mobile home
permit was not completed.
Mary Haithcoat, property owner, stated the house is more than half done, and they are hoping to
complete it by November. Responding to Chair Kirkmeyer, Mr. Mendez stated the property owner
does have a mobile home permit, which allows 180 days for a temporary use during construction,
and that a 45-day extension was granted on March 24, 2000. Mr. Mendez stated this violation was
brc'ught to the Board to determine whether to allow the extension since it has been on-going for
nearly a year.
Responding to Chair Kirkmeyer and Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Mendez reiterated they need a
six--month extension of the mobile home temporary use, the final inspections also need to be
completed on the mobile home use, and the timeframe required depends on what the final
inspections reveal. Chair Kirkmeyer clarified for Ms. Haithcoat that the final inspection on the
mobile home permit must be completed, therefore, she must resolve any problems revealed upon
inspection, then the six-month extension for the permit can be granted administratively
Commissioner Hall commented that this is not really a violation, and there should be a little more
communication between staff and citizens, and he is not willing to refer this to the County Attorney;
therefore, he moved to continue VI#9900260 against John and Mary Haithcoat until Septemoer 12,
2000,to allow adequate time for the final inspections. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Geile, and it carried unanimously. Chair Kirkmeyer verified 834-2759 is correct phone number for
the property owner..
VI #0000118 - SIMON AND EVELYN REYES AND JESUS MARTINEZ, JR: Mr. Mendez
presented the case report for the record and stated the property is in violation of Section 30 of the
Weld County Building Code Ordinance. Mr. Mendez stated there are three mobile homes on the
property, which is a vacant lot, without appropriate permits. Mr. Mendez explained Simon and
Evelyn Reyes own the property, Jesus Martinez, Jr. owns the Mobile Homes. Mr. Mendez further
explained Mr. Martinez is currently purchasing four lots from Mr Reyes and, after finalizing his
purchases, he will request a lot line adjustment for a plotted subdivision, which will divide the four
lots into three, with a mobile home on each one, to meet the appropriate setbacks. Responding
to Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Mendez stated no permits have been received; no one is currently
living in the mobile homes; and they did attempt to get septic permits, although they were not
successful. Chair Kirkmeyer clarified Mr. Martinez needs to complete the purchase of the property,
get the appropriate permits for each mobile home, and then apply for the lot line adjustment.

Jesus Martinez, Jr., property owner, stated he understands the issue with the mobile homes, and
he needs to get the permits for each mobile home, and apply for the lot line adjustment.
Responding to questions from the Commissioners, Mr. Martinez stated it should take him three to
four months to get clear title to the property, he has had a title search to verify it is a clear title, he
understands the difference in a Minor Subdivision for a lot line adjustment and a Substantial
Change to a Major Subdivision, which may be required since there is a roadway that has not been
used for some time, but may affect other lots in the subdivision. Julie Chester, Department of
Planning Services, stated a determination has not been made as to whether it is a Minor
Subdivision or a Substantial Change; however, at a minimum it would take about 90 days for
review, since both the Utility Board and Board of County Commissioners must hear the case.
Responding to Commissioner Baxter, Ms. Chester clarified Mr. Martinez could start the process as
long as the property owner authorized him to do so. Responding to Chair Kirkmeyer, Mr. Martinez
stalled the mobile homes are in good condition, but have been uninhabited since March 13, 2000,
they all originated from this area, he lived in one for eight years, his mother-in-law owned one, and
he purchased one from his employer. Responding to Commissioners Baxter and Geile, Mr.
Martinez indicated he understands that it could take six months and the Major Subdivision would
require higher fees than the Minor Subdivision process, and there would also have to be Zoning
permits for the mobile homes, which is another cost. After further discussion of the permits,
timeframe, and costs involved, Mr. Martinez indicated he understands that no one may live in the
mobile homes until the process is completed,and stated he would need approximately nine months
to complete it.
There was no public testimony given. Commissioner Baxter moved to refer VI #0000118 against
Simon and Evelyn Reyes and Jesus Martinez, Jr. to the County Attorney for legal action, with the
instruction to delay action upon such referral until April 11, 2001, to allow adequate time for the
property to be brought into compliance. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hall, and it
carried unanimously.
VI #0000042 - ENRIQUE JIMINEZ GONZALEZ: Mr. Mendez presented the case report for the
record and stated the property is in violation of Section 30 of the Weld County Building Code
Ordinance. Mr. Mendez stated the site inspection in February revealed a total of six mobile homes
on the property, three of which are connected together and used for the primary dwelling, two
others which are connected and used only for storage,and the sixth mobile home is being repaired
for resale. Mr. Mendez stated only the sixth mobile home is in violation. Commissioner Baxter
verified Refugio Gonzalez, brother of Enrique Gonzalez, property owner, understands what is
needed to eliminate the violation. Mr. Mendez stated the repairs are all completed, and Mr.
Gonzalez is selling the mobile home and will remove it from the property soon. Responding to
Commissioner Hall, Mr. Refugio Gonzalez stated he will need 45 to 60 days, since Enrique, who
is out of town, has the title with him. Monica Mika, Director of Planning Services, stated the
department has received complaints from nearly every surrounding property owner, and some of
them are calling each week. Responding to Chair Kirkmeyer, Mr. Gonzalez stated the mobile
homes are all in good condition, and he should be able to get the sixth mobile home off in 30 days.
Since it is valued at approximately $10,000 he does not want to scrap it. There was no public
testimony given.

Commissioner Vaad moved to refer VI#0000042 against Enrique Jiminez Gonzalez to the County
Attorney for legal action, with the instruction to delay action upon such referral until August 11,
2000, to allow adequate time for removal of mobile home from the property. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Baxter, and it carried unanimously. Chair Kirkmeyer emphasized Mr.
Gonzalez is not to bring other mobile homes onto the property, or a new violation will ensue.
VI #0000112 - RICHARD BAUSERMAN: Bethany Salzman, Department of Planning Services,
presented the case report for the record and stated the noncommercial junkyard on the property
is in violation of Section 31.3.9 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, and consists of wood,
roofing, plastic, and miscellaneous debris. Ms. Salzman stated he is taking structures apart in
Brighton and moving them to the site for reconstruction. She stated the property is also in violation
of Section 30 of the Building Code Ordinance, and a house on the property will be used for an
accounting office. Ms. Salzman further stated the property is being leased from Union Pacific, and
the lessee has turned in Certificate of Compliance Permits for the agricultural buildings, and his
lease will not allow him to have residence on the property. Ms. Salzman presented a video showing
the subject property, which is a small strip of land between the railroad and Colorado Highway 85.
She explained there is no farming on the site at this time,although Mr. Bauserman intends to board
animals, and no one is living on site.
Richard Bauserman, the individual leasing said property, stated he is going to board horses, both
his own and those belonging to others; he is moving buildings from his property in Brighton to this
location and reassembling them; he has some farm equipment on the property, including a
combine; he has building permits for all the agricultural buildings he will use for storage, although
they have not yet been fixed up, they will be painted. Responding to Chair Kirkmeyer, Mr.
Bauserman stated the property shown in the video is 7.2 acres,and there is another property south
of Road 22 that is 4 acres. Responding to Commissioner Baxter, he stated he does custom farm
work, therefore, the equipment is used off the property, and part of the subject property will be in
pasture and grass. Responding to questions from the Board, Mr. Bauserman stated his
understanding is that the agricultural buildings are not in violation; however, in order to use the
house as an accounting office he would require a Special Use Permit. Mr. Bauserman stated he
finally received a letter from the Union Pacific Railroad Company on June 27, 2000, stating he has
a right to be there. He further stated his lease is on a year-to-year basis, but is on a perpetual
20-year basis. Ms. Salzman clarified the railroad has given consent, with conditions such as no
residence can be on the property, only Mr. Bauserman may ride horses on the property, etc.
Responding to Commissioner Vaad, Mr. Bauserman stated there should not be a problem with the
horses hearing the train whistles, although that kind of depends on the animals. Mr. Bauserman
stated the house was moved by professionals,who were aware of the permitting requirements; he
paid $150 for a pre-move inspection, the move was permitted by the Colorado Department of
Transportation,and all the required utilities, such as United Power,were there when it was moved.
Responding to Chair Kirkmeyer, Mr. Bauserman stated he is allowed four horses per acre, but he
thinks there will be less than that; he indicated it might not only be horses, perhaps he will have a
few cows there;and he does not have a farm in Weld County. Responding to Commissioner Vaad,
Mr. Bauserman stated he is hoping to have all the buildings reassembled by late autumn.
Commissioner Geile questioned whether,during the process of moving this wood,farm equipment,
etc , Mr. Bauserman ever worked with a local jurisdiction over land use issues, and whether it
occurred to him that when changing the use of land a determination should be made of
2000-1673
PL0824
HEARING CERTIFICATION - ZONING VIOLATIONS

jurisdictional requirements. Responding to Commissioner Geile, Mr. Bauserman stated he moved
without first asking because he just did not see it as a problem since he was only moving and
reassembling mostly agricultural buildings which do not require permits. Responding further to
Commissioner Geile, Mr. Bauserman stated his first lease was dated February 15, 2000, and it
states the intent to be for industrial purposes, mainly storage, horse farm, pasture, etc. Mr.
Bauserman stated the clarification he asked for was received the last of June and stated
agricultural-related product storage, pasture, boarding horses, etc. would be allowed, with certain
conditions. Responding to Commissioner Baxter regarding the railroad referring to the industrial
lease area, Ms. Salzman stated it is zoned agricultural, and the railroad stated they consider all
property to be industrial/commercial.
Delton Miller,adjacent property owner, stated his irrigation ditch runs through the subject property,
and he is concerned about problems with that. He further stated he was two weeks late getting
water this spring, because wood was piled too close to the ditch to burn the ditch. He also stated
a farm service road runs through the property which, if fenced, would require them to cross the
highway extra times to maintain the ditch. Mr. Miller stated his son, Kenneth Miller, farms his
property at present. Kenneth Miller stated there is a canal which runs from Roads 22 and 22.5
between the highway and railroad tracks, and indicated there was lots of material piled near ditch;
therefore special arrangements had to be made with the fire Department to be there when they
burned the ditch. Mr. Kenneth Miller stated the ditch has been there for well over 100 years and
they have been maintaining it from the west side of the ditch, since the highway is on the east side.
He further stated someone needs to establish how much room will be allowed for maintaining the
ditch, and indicated there is no water on the subject property.
Robert McPeak, surrounding property owner, questioned how the professional house mover got
a permit to haul the house down the road from the State Highway Department,when there was no
address to move it to, and indicated in his past experience the could not move a building until a
budding permit was issued. He stated these are old buildings which could contain lead and
asbestos; the property is too small to raise enough to feed even one horse; the property looks like
a junkyard. Mr. McPeak stated the Board of County Commissioners required him to pay$450 for
a six-month permit to store a building on his property and Mr. Bauserman is subject to the same
rules.
Nancy Bolling, surrounding property owner, stated an individual has to get a permit to put in an
agricultural building. She stated she owns a mobile home in Brighton, and when she tried to get
a permit to put it on her property for an office, her application was denied, and it took her eight
months to get permission to have a mobile home on her property. Ms. Bolling stated the property
in question is an eyesore and she thought the railroad was bringing in stuff to burn.
Rawlin Johnson, adjacent property owner, stated his ditch comes through this property and he is
concerned about how Mr. Bauserman will keep the horses away from the ditch.
Chuck Steiner, Colorado Department of Transportation, stated his office has also had complaints
regarding the property being an eyesore and he is concerned about this becoming a junkyard. He
presented a portion of CDOT's regulations, Part 5, marked as Exhibit A, which defines junk and
junkyards and the requirements for those adjacent to highways. Mr. Steiner indicated wood, not
assembled, laying in piles, or any storage along Highway 85 would require a permit, although an
2000-1673
PL0824
HEARING CERTIFICATION - ZONING VIOLATIONS
July 11, 2000
PAGE 6
application has not been presented. Mr. Steiner further indicated if the condition remains as it is
at present, it will be in violation, and until it is assembled he must assume they are only piles of
wood. Mr. Steiner also stated the property would have to be zoned industrial to get a permit, but
the County says it is agricultural. Chair Kirkmeyer clarified the proper zone is Agricultural, however,
the railroad zones according to uses they would allow on the property. Mr. Steiner also indicated
there is a setback requirement of 1,000 feet from the edge of the property or the use must be
screened so it is not visible from Highway 85. Responding to Commissioner Geile, Ms. Salzman
stated the property's maximum width is 200 feet, therefore, it is Impossible to meet the setback
requirement. Chair Kirkmeyer commented on the penalty provisions included in Part 5.
Mr. Bauserman responded to the concerns raised, stating he was not aware of the State
requirements, however, he now has Mr. Steiner's card and he will proceed with whatever permits,
etc. are necessary. Mr. Bauserman reiterated the buildings will be reassembled and be very
attractive. He stated there are two irrigation ditches which run through the property, and a harrier
will be put in place. He indicated there is an old barbed wire fence and screening will be placed
right on the east side of the ditch, which will allow adequate access to service the ditch. Mr.
Bauserman indicated there is no easement, and the adjacent property owners have no legal right-
of-way except for having been there for so long. He agreed there is no water on the property,
however, water will hauled in. Responding to Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Bauserman stated his
lease includes no provision regarding ditches or maintenance of ditches.
Responding to Commissioner Geile, Ms. Salzman reiterated a Use by Special Review Permit is the
correct process for the intended use, since he will be using the house for an accounting business,
and will also be boarding animals. Ms. Salzman indicated Mr. Bauserman has been advised that
a Use by Special Review Permit will be required, and that it would have to be approved before any
building permits can be issued. She also indicated the Conditions of Approval and Development
Standards would deal with setbacks, fencing, access to ditches, etc.
Responding to Commissioner Baxter regarding the normal permit process, David Sprague,
Department of Planning Services,stated according to Section 30 of the Weld County Building Code
Ordinance, Mr. Bauserman filled out the form, a pre-move inspection was done, Mr. Sprague then
signs off on it, and when he came back in he was told he needed to get a building permit. In this
case, Mr. Bauserman did not ever get the building permit.
Commissioner Vaad stated the Board has a history of trying to work with citizens to come into
compliance; he appreciates the comments of the public, although they would be more appropriate
in Use by Special Review hearing; Mr. Bauserman has said he has the moving permit and he must
either apply for and receive a Use by Special Review or the building will have to go. Therefore,
Commissioner Vaad moved to refer VI #0000112 against Richard Bauserman to the County
Attorney for legal action,with the instruction to delay action upon such referral until November 11,
2000,to allow adequate time for Mr. Bauserman to obtain a Use by Special Review for the building
on the property. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Baxter. Chair Kirkmeyer stated the
property does look like a junkyard, it is becoming an eyesore, there are also campers, wood, etc.
on the property and she does not feel comfortable giving him months to resolve the violation in the
meantime he is piling up trash,and may not be able to get a Use by Special Review,therefore, she
will be voting against the motion. Commissioner Hall stated he is also against the motion since
he cannot envision an application for a Use by Special Review that would be successful in this
2000-1673
PL0824

July 11, 2000
PAGE 7
circumstance, and would only delay the inevitable. Commissioner Geile stated he will also vote
against the motion,for the reasons just indicated by Chair Kirkmeyer and Commissioner Hall, and
because Mr. Bauserman did not use the appropriate procedures, he has offered no timefrarne for
resolution of the violation, he has not offered a site development plan, or any suggestions for
resolution of the violation. On a roll-call vote, the motion failed with Commissioners Vaad and
Baxter voting in favor and Commissioners Hall, Geile, and Kirkmeyer voting against.
Commissioner Hall moved to refer VI#0000112 against Richard Bauserman to the County Attorney
for legal action, with the instruction to delay action upon such referral until August 11, 2000, to
allow adequate time for Mr. Bauserman to remove the wood, debris, etc, from the property. The
motion was seconded by Commissioner Geile,and on a roll-call vote it carried with Commissioners
Hall, Geile, and Kirkmeyer voting in favor and Commissioners Vaad and Baxter against.
VI #9800200 - EDWARD AND ELEONORE HODGES, CIO ROBERT HARDING: Ms. Salzman
presented the case report for the record and stated the property is in violation of Sections :31.2.1
and 31.2.2 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance,which allows only one single family dwelling unit
and auxiliary quarters per legal lot or on a parcel of land created under the provisions of Section
11 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance. The property is also in violation of Section 30 of the
Weld County Building Code Ordinance. Ms. Salzman stated this violation was initiated in 1998
when Sharon Frazer was Zoning Compliance Officer, it was subsequently handled by Vickie Brown,
and now Ms. Salzman is dealing with it. In order to come into compliance, the owner must restore
the shed to its original condition as a shed according to the Weld County Assessor record's, and
maintain the intent that no one shall occupy it as a residence.
Rob Harding, son of the owner, stated he currently farms the property, although there are not two
mobile homes. There is a single mobile home which was placed on the property for farm help to
live in; it has an attached stick-built room, but is not a shed. He reviewed various conversations
he had with Ms. Frazer, Ms. Brown and Ms. Salzman, and indicated his frustration with it going
back and forth as being a violation, then being okayed and closed, then being told it was still in
violation. He stated in a conference with Julie Chester, Department of Planning Services, it would
be in compliance if it is for farm use. Responding to Chair Kirkmeyer, Ms. Salzman stated there
is a modular home which Mr. Harding's mother lived in and the shed which Mr. Harding lives in.
Mr. Harding presented a picture, marked Exhibit A,and Ms. Salzman stated the Assessor's records
indicate it is a shed, and it has always been taxed as a shed. Ms. Salzman also indicated in 1998
the principal dwelling burned down, a temporary permit during construction was applied for and in
that application it was stated there were no other residences on the property. Responding to
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Ms.Salzman stated there cannot be two residences per lot. Mr. Harding
said he has lived there since 1993, now he lives in the modular home and the individual who assists
on the farm is living in the shed. Responding to Chair Kirkmeyer, Mr. Harding stated the modular
has been in place since 1969, and the other building is a mobile home with stick over the top.
Monica Mika, Director of Planning Services, clarified there can be one principle structure which is
usually permanent, and an accessory to the farm, which is temporary, and when the property
owners came in and applied for a building permit to rebuild the house after it burned down, it was
permitted because it was the only house on the site. Ms. Mika stated the second home is not
valiidated, since it must have consistent use. Bruce Barker, County Attorney, stated it may be a
nonconforming structure. Responding to Ms. Mika as to whether he might be able to establish
2000-1673
PL0824
HEARING CERTIFICATION - ZONING VIOLATIONS
July 11, 2000
PAGE 8
historic use of the building, Mr. Harding stated all the family records were burned in the fire, so he
has no proof. Ms. Mika indicated the building is being taxed as a utility shed. Responding to
Commissioner Baxter, Ms. Mika stated at this point the owner would need to have the shed/mobile
home permitted as an accessory to the farm, which is a temporary use. Responding to Chair
Kirkmeyer, Mr. Harding stated the person living in it has his own job and only works part-time on
the farm. Ms. Mika recommended he apply for an Accessory to the Farm Permit, to see if it meets
the requirements; then his mother's house could be switched to the principle dwelling. Chair
Kirkmeyer stated he would have a hard time establishing an Accessory to Farm since there are
only five acres, and the helper only works part-time. Mr. Barker suggested the other way to deal
with this is to concur it is a nonconforming structure, look at old photos to verify its existence on the
property, accept Mr. Harding's word that it has been resided in for the last 30 years consistently,
then he would still need to get a building permit to make sure it is a safe structure, which could be
done administratively. Chair Kirkmeyer indicated his taxes would change since the use of the
building would become residential, and since it would be classed as a nonconforming use if the
use would change or the building destroyed, he would not be allowed to rebuild.
Chair Kirkmeyer reiterated as a nonconforming use, it can remain as long as the use remains the
same, however, Mr. Harding would need to get a building permit on the shed; however, if the use
of the structure changes, it would have to come back for a different permitting process, and the
Assessor would begin taxing it as a residence.
Charles Larson, adjacent property owner stated he has lived there since 1966 and the structure
is a mobile home which was placed there in approximately 1985, and has never been lived in. Mr.
Larson stated at some point they started building over the top of it and put in a septic system,
without a permit; and about 1993, the stepson moved in and lived there until his mother moved to
town. Mr. Larson stated the building is now being rented, it is not being used for a farm laborer.
Mr. Harding stated his family had a problem with the Larsons, and the mobile home was on the
property prior to 1972. Commissioner Geile suggested directing staff to find the structure to be a
nonconforming use and handle it accordingly. Commissioner Hall directed staff to look at old
historic maps and other records, then make a determination if the mobile home is shown, since the
Zoning Ordinance requires a nonconforming use to have been in place prior to 1975.
Commissioner Hall moved to refer VI#9800200 against Edward and Eleonore Hodges, do Robert
Handing, to the County Attorney for legal action, with the instruction to delay action upon such
referral until September 11, 2000, to allow adequate time for the property to either come into
conformance or be proven to be a nonconforming use. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Baxter, and it carried unanimously.
VI #0000154 - EARL AND JUDY HOOD: Ms. Salzman presented the case report for the record
and stated the noncommercial junkyard on the property, consisting of derelict vehicles, wood,
metal, and other miscellaneous debris, is in violation of Section 31.3.9 of the Weld County Zoning
Ordinance. The property owners were neither present nor represented at the hearing, and no
public testimony was given. Commissioner Baxter moved to refer VI #0000154 against Earl and
Judy Hood to the County Attorney for legal action. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Hall, and it carried unanimously.
