The parcel of land on which this request has been made is described as part of the NWµ, Section 20, T3N, R68W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado. This property is located li miles north of Union Reservoir. The property con- tains approximately 77.74 acres of Class 11 and 111 irrigated soils. The request is to split the property into parcels of 66.07 acres and 11 .67 acres. On March 19, 1980 the Board of County Commissioners approved a request by Ernest and Corrine Lewis for a lot size variance so that they could make application for this recorded exemption. At the time they made the decision on that request, the Department of Planning Services Staff submitted a letter of recommendation for denial to the Board. A copy of the letter for denial is included in the attached packet. Nothing has been received by our office that would change our recommendation for denial for this request as outlined in the letter to the Board of County Commisioners dated March 19, 1980.

Carter during our visit to your office this week . We bought and moved on this farm in March of 1967 . We have remodeled the house , built large barn , sheds and lots of fencing; and customed the farm in general to accommodate our business of breeding Arabian Horses . We plan to continue the breeding program, but on a much smaller scale . Some of the reasons we are requesting this division so that we can continue to live in our home are ; 1 . We have reached retirement age and Mr . Lewis is no longer able to farm . 2 . We need to sell the surplus farm acreage to have a comfortable retirement, and enjoy a few carefree years as a reward for many years of hard work . . 3 . Our son lives next door and as we grow older it would be very advantageous to have family so near. 4 . Shopping , hospital , doctors , and church are all convenient . 5 . We enjoy this neighborhood and the friends we have made here . 6 . Our farm is well known as an Arabian Breeding Farm and is very accessible to I-25 , easy for out of town and state clients to visit . Our farm consists of 77 . 9 acres , the plot where the house and buildings are would be approximately 10 acres , which is the part we want to retain . We are enclosing a sketch of the farm, with area we wish to retain shaded . We trust that you will give us a favorable recommendation for this request. We are thanking you in advance for your consideration . eoY s very truly, i Ernest & Corrine Lewis 800633 s RECORDED E.: EMPTION NO.

COLORADO March 19, 1980 Board of County Commissioners Weld County, Colorado 915 10th Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 RE: Lot Size Variance 108 : 80 :5 Dear Commissioners: The attached letter and related materials are in reference to a request for a lot size variance from Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Lewis. The property on which this request has been made is described as Pt. NW4, Section 20, T3N, R68W of the 6th p.m„ Weld County, Colorado. This property is located 11 miles north of Union Reservoir and 11 miles southwest of Mead. The property under consideration contains approximately 78 acres of Class II and III irrigated soils. The request is to obtain a variance from the minimum lot size requirement, Section 9-4 A. (6) of the Weld County Subdivision Regulations, so that they may make application for a recorded exemption. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis wish to keep the smaller 10 acre parcel for retirement purposes and sell the remainder of the property. Based upon the information submitted and the adopted policies in the County, the Department of Planning Services staff recommends the request be denied for the following reasons: 1. The request is not in compliance with the intent clause of the recorded exemption procedure (Section 9-2 of the Weld County Subdivision Regulations) . Said clause states: "The intent in establishing the recorded exemption procedure is to provide, in accordance with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan, a means whereby non-productive agricultural lands may 800633 • Board of County Comm Toners LSV-108 : 80 :5 Page 2 March 19, 1980 be developed for higher and more productive uses insofar as such uses are compatible with surrounding agricultural uses in areas where such land divisions are proposed. (Revised 4-17-74) . " The proposed request does not comply with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan because it would promote non-agricultural use of agricultural land and it would encourage residential encroachment on rural agri- cultural land use. The Plan urges residential development to be closely connected to and served by municipal utilities. Within a reasonable service area from their corporate limits, towns and municipalities can provide better services at a lower cost to residential development. Additionally, residential land uses in rural areas may generate conflicts wihch may prohibit efficient agri- cultural operations. 2. This request is not in conformance with the intent clause of the Agricultural Zone District, Section 3. 3.A. of the Weld County Zoning Resolution. This request would not be encouraging agricultural uses as the highest and best uses, it would not be providing for the orderly expansion of urban growth, it would be promoting the division of agricultural land into smaller, less economic parcel sizes, and increasing the residential density on the property. The approval of this request would allow another residence to be built on the larger parcel. While the addition of one residence does not in itself create an urban encroachment, the cumulative effect of recorded exemptions in the surrounding area may have future negative impacts on the agricultural economy. Increased residential density results in greater demands on the services which residential development requires and therefore higher costs of those services to the residents of the County. 3. The minimum lot size in the Agricultural Zone District for irrigated parcels is 80 acres and for non-irrigated parcels is 160 acres. The intent is to maintain tracts which are large enough for farm purposes, and to assist in the encouragement of agricultural uses as the highest and best use of the land. This request is in conflict with that intent.
