AMERICAN RESOURCES COMPANY, C/O WILLIAM CREWS: Sheri Lockman, Department of Planning
Services, stated the applicant has submitted a letter requesting Use by Special Review Permit#1270 be
pre-advertised to expedite the process. In response to Chair Kirkmeyer, Ms. Lockman explained the
applicant wants to speed up the process and begin renovation of the site to return it to the gas compressor
operation. Commissioner Hall stated the applicant was upset about being required to go through the
amendment process when it is planning on reducing the existing permit. Commissioner Baxter commented
this should not be a matter of conflict with the public because the permit area is being reduced. In
response to Chair Kirkmeyer, Bruce Barker,County Attorney, reviewed the pre-advertisernent process and
stated the Board needs to make its decision based on the reasons given by the applicant. Chair Kirkmeyer
clarified the applicant is not present. Commissioner Baxter moved to approve said request of North
American Resources Company, c/o William Crews, to pre-advertise Use by Special Review Permit#1270,
and set the hearing date for June 21, 2000, at 10:00 a.m. The motion, which was seconded by

CONSIDER RECORDED EXEMPTION #2669 - YONGGE VUE: Chair Kirkmeyer advised Yongge Vue,
applicant, that he has the option of continuing this matter to a date when the full board will be present.
However, if he decides to proceed today, it will require three affirmative votes to pass, or in the case of a
tie vote, Commissioner Vaad will listen to the record and make the determining vote. Mr. Vue indicated
he would like to proceed today. Ms. Lockman gave a brief description of the location of the site. She
stated the Department of Planning Services staff has concerns because the applicant has not shown
compliance with the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance or the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Lockman
indicated Mr. Vue purchased a 151-acre farm consisting of two legal parcels. On October 12, 1998, the
I3oard of Commissioners approved Recorded Exemption#2300 located north of the Bull Canal. She stated

if this request is approved the applicant will own four lots in the A (Agricultural) Zone District which do not
meet the 80-acre minimum lot size as determined by the Zoning Ordinance. She further stated no
consideration has been given to preserve agricultural land. Ms. Lockman stated Lot A of Recorded
Exemption#2300 was created for the applicant's brother-in-law; however,since that time, no structure has
been built. Ms. Lockman stated three referral agencies submitted comments which have been addressed
by the proposed Conditions of Approval and four agencies did not respond. In response to Commissioner
Baxter, Ms. Lockman explained that Lot A of the Recorded Exemption #2300 has been sold back to Mr.
Vue and no improvements have been made. Responding to Chair Kirkmeyer, Ms. Lockman stated access
to the lots of the previous Recorded Exemption is from Weld County Road 13.
Mr.Vue stated he is requesting this Recorded Exemption to create a 10-acre parcel south of the Bull Canal
to sell to his other brother-in-law. In response to Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Vue stated he plans to
continue farming the remainder of the land. He stated the land is leased to the previous owner to farm.
Mr. Vue stated small equipment will be used to farm the small parcels, but the larger parcels will be leased
and farmed with large equipment. In response to Commissioner Geile, Ms. Lockman stated two lots were
approved through Recorded Exemption #2300 and the applicant is now requesting two additional lots be
created through Recorded Exemption #2669 which will total four buildable lots in this quarter section.
Responding to Commissioner Hall, Mr. Vue stated the area south of the canal is 33 acres in size. He
explained the previous request was a joint request with one of his brothers-in-law and this request will
create a lot for the other brother-in-law. Chair Kirkmeyer clarified Mr. Vue currently owns both lots north
of the Bull Canal and one lot south of the canal. Commissioner Baxter commented there are already three
legal lots so there should be no need to split the southern parcel. Shoua Vue, co-applicant, explained she
has two brothers; one went through the Recorded Exemption process with them last year, and now they
are requesting to split off a ten-acre parcel for her other brother because he does not want to own the
entire southern parcel. In response to Commissioner Geile, Ms. Lockman stated there is no right-of-way
through the property. She further stated Recorded Exemption #2300 is adjacent to the City limits for the
City of Dacono which expressed no concerns. Chair Kirkmeyer commented there is a race track and
composting facility in the immediate area. No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. In
response to Commissioner Baxter, Ms. Lockman reiterated staff feels this application does not comply with
Sections 11.4.2.1 and 11.4.2.6 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance.
Commissioner Hall moved to deny Recorded Exemption #2669 for Yongge Vue based on the concerns
expressed by the Department of Planning Services staff. Seconded by Commissioner Geile, the motion
carried unanimously. Commissioner Baxter commented he understands why the applicant is requesting
this change; however, it conflicts with Weld County planning standards.
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.
