RE: Lot Size Variance #127:81:5
The attached letter and related materials are in reference to a request
for a lot size variance from Edmond Morehouse. The property on which
this request has been made is described as part of the NEq of Section
17, T3N, R68W of the 6th p.m. , Weld County, Colorado. This property
is located 3/4 miles west of Mead.
The property under consideration contains approximately 55 acres of
irrigated agricultural land. The request is to obtain a variance from
the minimum lot size requirement, Section 9-4.A. (6) of the Weld County
Subdivison Regulations, so that the applicant may make application for
a recorded exemption.
Based upon the information submitted and the adopted policies in the
County, the Department of Planning Services Staff recommends the
request be approved for the following reasons:
1. The request conforms to the intent clause of the Recorded
Exemption Procedure (Section 9-2 of the Weld County Subdivision
Regulation) , the intent clause of the Agricultural Zone District
(Section 3.3.A. of the Weld County Zoning Resolution) , and
the Weld County Comprehensive Plan in that the uses will be
compatible with the surrounding agricultural uses. The request
will allow agricultural and related uses to be the predominant
land uses. There will be no reduction in the amount of land
currently being used for agricultural production.
2. The Town of Mead has no objections.
3. This request complies with the provisions of Section 9-4 A. of
the Weld County Subdivision Regulations.
The Department of Planning Services Staff is concerned with the number
of small lots in Section 17. There are nine lots of ten acres or less
in Section 17 and eight of these lots are in the Northeast quarter of

the 'holies that is on the farrr:. T t is much improved as far as heinir more
liveable, modern and yet we havo kept that "little farm house" look
we wanted that goes with country livi_i. 'ae have it;nroved the lawn and

',/e bought our 5.5 acre far:' about nine years ago and took
possession at the end of the year. The first time my wife and 1 seen
the inside of the house, there was a young couple living in it. As wv
walked in and through the kitchen into the livin'z room the man pointed
to one section of the floor and wall and said it was unsafe, that the
floor might go in. The house was Lathe and plaster and one night some
sections of the ceiling; fell. The condition of the whole house was about
the same way. The person we bought the farm from never had any insurance on
any of the buildings believ.in they were not worth the money.
After we got possession l replaced needed s _11 timbers , replaced
needed floor ,joits , put new flooring down, removed. the Lathe and plaster
and replaced with sheetrock, put new modern windows in , removed the old
s{din.. and shinles and put new on. Also replaced the kitchen cupboards
and :;l :`,.. Outside i cleaned up around the buildings , tore down some
bui idinas and built .a new 2t '' 30 garage-workshop. "y wife and T did all
the work ourselves , not hiring anyone else to do the work.
The farm ground in the spring was badly covered with thistle and
over a good e-e- er of years using 2- -D - a trazine and corn two years be-
fore rotating, we Aot rid of most of the thistle. The man we bought the
fa-m from lived in 3outder and he put on turkey manure, which is good
fertilizer , only every load there was a =.00d 1/9 of rock. Some rock as
large as `? inches also pieces of cement. I have picked up `?'a": as of
this spr{rig but T don' t remember or even tried to count how many pick-up
loads pi•^_'red up ever the last n ine years . I have been told. by people that
far'e_d the ?rout; years a o that there 'gas not a rock on the 21 ac .
c
The farm ground has a slope away from the head gate and right down the
center of the farm. ;.fie had a very fast trri ;ation ditch that was 3 to
3 deep. You could not trust a dam to stay no matter how well you put
it in and it would erode every year . '+ie put in 700 feet of cement ditch
to end the problem.
The farm today is very clean and a good producer . It will match
any ground in 'Jeld County acre for acre. I 'm asking for a 125' by 200'
piece of ground to build a house on because t , helieve we have earned it.
%.le are not trying to bust up the farm or even asking to build on a more
desirable place on the farm.
Also 10 years ago .I told my wife I would try to build a new house
some day and this coming fall we will celebrate our 25th aNt4 I
would like to 5e able to give her a new house by then.
