to acquire eight new lines for the Human Services voice mail system, and noted

of the old system is approximately $15,000 to $20,000. Commissioner

CONSIDER AGREEMENT AMONG CLERK AND RECORDER, SKLD
INFORMATION SERVICES, L.L.C., AND-SKLD TITLE SERVICES, INC., AND
AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN: Mr. Warden stated a problem was created
when the Recording Office -switched to an imaging system and stopped
supplying microfilmed information to independent title and oil and gas
companies. He stated SKLD serves this entire region, including Colorado,
Wyoming, and New Mexico. He stated said contract includes downloading
information on SKLD's equipment and converting said information to microfilm
on a daily basis, supplying three copies to Weld County at the fee of ten cents
per image, and charging various title companies the same amount the Clerk and
Recorder's Office was previously charging. Mr. Warden explained there are two
title companies that are moving to imaging systems and noted the County will
work on a contract with each of them on a one-on-one basis. The County is
also negotiating a contract to generate the microfiche data, which should be
completed within the next month. Mary Ann Feuerstein, Clerk and Recorder,
was present to answer questions from the Board. Commissioner Hall moved
to approve said agreement and authorize the Chairman to sign. Seconded by
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously.

health insurance premiums. From an initial increase of 10 percent, TakeCare
has agreed to a 3 percent increase in HMO rates; and from an initial increase
Minutes - November 2, 1994
Page 2
of 22 percent, TakeCare has agreed to a 9 percent rate increase in PPO
insurance. He also stated the County contribution will not increase more than
3 percent, and the maximum amount of premium increase allowed for 1996 will
be 3 percent for HMO and 9 percent for PPO. Commissioner Hall moved to
approve said renewal and authorize the Chairman to sign. Seconded by
Commissioner Baxter, the motion carried unanimously.
PLANNING: CONSIDER RE#1653- HEIN: Keith Schuett, Department of Planning Services,
stated the applicant has requested this matter be continued to
November 9, 1994. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Schuett stated
the applicant was unable to attend today's meeting and was also concerned
about not receiving staff comments further in advance. Mr. Schuett explained
the comments were faxed to the applicant. Commissioner Hall moved to
continue recorded exemption #1653 to November 9, 1994, at 9:00 a.m.
Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER ZPMH #1929 - MCNEECE AND BAUER: Mr. Schuett stated this
matter is before the Board since the applicant did not submit a petition showing
the support of 70 percent of the adjacent landowners. Mr. Schuett read staff's
recommendation into the record, stated staff received three letters of opposition
which have been included in the record, and presented two letters of opposition
received after the date of staff comments. marked as Exhibits A and B. In
response to Commissioner Hall, Mr. Schuett stated the trailer is a 14-foot by 64-
foot Titan mobile home, which is a single-wide. Perry McNeece, applicant,
explained he has tied all his financial resources up into the purchase and
upgrade of the property and cannot continue with the construction of his home
for three to five years. He explained the mobile home is one with wood siding
and shingles, and stated he can see three other mobile homes from the top of
the hill on his property. In response to Commissioner Baxter, Mr. McNeece
explained he did not try to get enough signatures to submit the petition because
of time constraints. Mr. McNeece stated this property has not been irrigated in
at least two years and he already installed a septic system large enough for a
four-bedroom house. Mr. Schuett explained a temporary permit is issued for a
maximum of 18 months, renewable at six-month intervals. Mr. McNeece
reiterated he does intend to build eventually; however, his finances are tied up
too tight to begin immediately. Chairman Webster advised the applicant that,
with only four Commissioners present, he may have this matter continued if he
wishes; however, if he chooses to continue and a tie vote is reached,
Commissioner Harbert will listen to the tape and cast the deciding vote. Mr.
McNeece decided to continue. Dave Smoljan, adjacent property owner, listed
his objections to this request because the entire area has moved into the
high-value range for homes, with all being over $200,000. He stated the
location of the trailer will be in view of his property. Mr. Smoljan explained the
last owner had a permit for a mobile home as an accessory to farm use;
however, although his dairy has not been operating over the past five years, the
trailer remains. He reiterated this use does not conform to the neighborhood
and stated once allowed, it would be impossible to have it removed if the
owners did not cooperate. In response to Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Smoljan
said the property has been used as a horse pasture, has not been irrigated in
the past, and the applicants have been working diligently to improve the
property. Larry Smith, adjacent property owner, also spoke opposing this
matter. He stated there are two well-established subdivisions in the area, which
were done to avoid problems like mobile homes encroaching on the
neighborhood. He feels, if allowed, this mobile home would set a precedent for
other mobile homes, even in subdivided areas. Mr. Smith stated a temporary
permit does not cause him problems; however, he opposes the issuance oof a
permanent permit. Jim Miller, adjacent property owner, said this use is
incompatible with the neighborhood and one thing he checked in the Zoning
Ordinance before buying in this area was whether this might occur. He feels the
Zoning Ordinance is clear that the mobile home cannot be incompatible with the
neighborhood, it would have an adverse effect, and it is unsightly. He did say
a modular home has been constructed in the area, and he feels it is different
from a mobile home in many respects. Mr. McNeece rebutted by stating
property value is as much a concern for him as anyone else and reiterated he
bought this property to live on; therefore, he would not allow it to be unsightly
or run down. He again stated the mobile home has wood siding and shingles,
it is not tin, and he spent good money on it in order for it to last the three to five

years prior to construction of his "stick" home. In response to Chairman
Webster, Mr. McNeece stated he has four shares of irrigation water. After
further discussion, Commissioner Hall moved to deny ZPMH #1929, since this
would, in fact, be a permanent dwelling and it is not compatible with the
surrounding area or the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner
Kirkmeyer seconded the motion, stating it is not in harmony with the character
of the neighborhood. Commissioner Baxter agreed with the comments. In
response to questions from Chairman Webster, staff explained if this request
is denied, the applicant will have to go through the substantial change process
then apply through the temporary permit process. The motion carried
unanimously.
CONSIDER ZPMH#1928- SHELTON LAND AND CATTLE LTD.: Shani Eastin,
Department of Planning Services, explained this application is for more than one
mobile home as an accessory to a farm and reviewed three proposed
Conditions of Approval. She stated the applicant did not obtain signatures from
70 percent of the adjacent landowners. In response to a question from
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, she explained there is already one other mobile home
on the property. Ron Shelton, applicant, explained they own six of the nine
adjoining parcels, and a group of individuals owns the other three; therefore, it
did not make sense to circulate a petition. He stated he owns the entire section,
and at present there are two houses and one mobile home on the property. In
response to Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Shelton stated the individuals in the
present mobile home will move into this mobile home if allowed, which will be
an upgrade for them. The present mobile home will then be occupied by future
help. Commissioner Hall verified the applicant is aware the first mobile home
cannot be left vacant for an extended period. Mr. Shelton responded to
Commissioner Kirkmeyer's question regarding the Conditions of Approval,
stating he does agree with them. Chairman Webster explained the procedure
to be used when only four Commissioners are present. Mr. Shelton asked the
Board to proceed. There was no public testimony given. Commissioner
Kirkmeyer moved to approve ZPMH #1928 with three Conditions of Approval.
Seconded by Commissioner Hall, the motion carried unanimously.
