Seconded by Commissioner Harbert, the motion carried unanimously. PLANNING: CONSIDER AMENDED RE #357 - COMMERCE BANK OF AURORA: (Changed to Tape #94-49) Shani Eastin, Department of Planning Services, requested the Board consider this item in conjunction with the next item, SE #520. She reviewed the concerns of the Department of Planning Services' staff regarding this application, and indicated the major concern is the removal of 9.41 acres from the center of a 119-acre parcel, which would create a land- locked parcel and does not promote the usefulness of this site for the future. She explained this parcel is adjacent to Weld County Road 1, with Highway 119 approximately 'h mile north of the parcel. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Ms. Eastin reiterated RE #357 includes Lot B with 9.41 acres and Lot A with 132.41 acres; SE #520 includes 15.83 acres. She said the purpose of the subdivision exemption is to adjust the property line to follow the river, which will make farming easier. Keith Schuett, Department of Planning Services, further clarified the parcels for Commissioner Kirkmeyer, and reiterated all three parcels access onto Weld County Road 1. Barbara Brunk, representing the applicant, explained the purpose of the amendment is to reconfigure the parcels around the existing homes and existing road access. She stated there is a separate purchaser proposed for the areas north and south of the creek. Ms. Brunk asked that Condition of Approval #4 be changed to read, "A minimum width of 30 feet from the high-water mark along the south side of the St. Vrain River shall be reserved for future purchase and development of the St. Vrain Greenway." She discussed the advantage of having it 30 feet from the high-water marker, versus the 300 feet from the center of the creek. In response to Commissioner Hall, Ms. Brunk explained the two lots are being exchanged to enhance future planning. She stated it would be more affordable with a small house attached to the farming operation with the larger, more expensive house sitting on its own lot. She also reiterated the access will have a permanent easement and pointed out the easement has been operational for the past fourteen years without conflict. Ms. Brunk stated the old railroad right-of-way has already been deeded to the bank. In response to Commissioners Harbert and Baxter, Ms. Brunk explained the maintenance of the access to Lot B is a non-exclusive easement and will be maintained by both parties. There was no public testimony offered concerning this matter. Mr. Barker read appropriate wording for Condition of Approval #5 concerning the utility access easement and maintenance of said easement. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer's question regarding the difference in figuring the width of the requested reservation for the St. Vrain Greenway, Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, responded the most appropriate method would be to tie it to the high-water line. He pointed out the high-water line only relocates in the event of a flood; however, the center of the creek can relocate each day. Mr. Morrison also explained to Commissioner Hall the 30-foot width does not obligate a specific amount or prevent more from being purchased, it is a reservation which indicates the future intent. At the time it is being planned for construction, the entity will be able to locate the high-water line and measure 30 feet from it. Commissioner Kirkmeyer verified the applicant agrees with Mr. Barker's wording of Condition of Approval #5, and moved to approve RE #357 with seven Conditions of Approval, including the changes discussed to Condition #4 and #5. Seconded by Commissioner Hall, the motion carried unanimously.
