Discussion ensued concerning whether the title policy would be free and clear, and Mr. Barker indicated the County could provide only a quit claim deed, but not a special warranty deed or a clean title policy. Mr. Calderon indicated the price of the property at the last bid would be close to retail and reiterated that Mr. Frank thought he would be getting a clear title. After further discussion, Commissioner Harbert moved to continue this matter until today's New Business has been completed. Commissioner Kirkmeyer seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

BIDS: OPEN BIDS AND APPROVE SALE OF PROPERTY IN FREDERICK - FINANCE DEPARTMENT: Let the record reflect, this matter was continued from earlier in the meeting. Mr. Frank indicated if the County will not provide a clear title policy, he would withdraw his bid. Mr. Barker referred to the redemption period and clarified the eight-year period is to allow certain exemptions on the title to be challenged. Mr. Frank reiterated if the property would not be sellable and clear for three more years, he would request his bid be withdrawn. Mr. Calderon said he would like to revert back to his $3,300 bid. After discussion, Mr. Warden recommended the Board reject Mr. Frank's bid and go back to Mr. Calderon's $4,400 bid. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to reject Mr. Frank's bid of $4,500, and Commissioner Baxter seconded the motion which carried unanimously. Mr. Warden reiterated $4, 400 would now be the last bid on the floor, and Mr. Barker concurred. Mr. Calderon indicated he would like to withdraw his $4, 400 bid. Mr. Warden said that would, in effect, withdraw Mr. Calderon's total bid, and he recommended waiting three years until the title is clear and repeat the bidding process. Mr. Calderon requested, considering the earlier confusion, that the Minutes - February 16, 1994 Page 3 Board consider $3,300 a reasonable bid since the property would be under a quit claim deed. In response to Commissioner Hall, Mr. Calderon said he would be willing to pay the $4, 400, and Commissioner Hall moved to accept said bid in the amount of $4, 400. Commissioner Kirkmeyer seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Mr. Warden indicated Mr. Calderon could work with Mr. Barker concerning the quit claim deed. PLANNING: CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: VIOLATIONS OF THE WELD COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE - MARTINEZ: Commissioner Baxter moved to approve said Resolution authorizing the County Attorney to proceed with legal action against Thomas Martinez, c/o Jeronimo Martinez, for violations of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. Commissioner Kirkmeyer seconded the motion, and it carried unanimously. CONSIDER PROBABLE CAUSE FOR REVOCATION OF USR #793 - GATES: Keith Schuett, Planning Department representative, indicated the original USR #793 was issued to John and Carolyn Fitch for a greyhound dog kennel (20 dog maximum) . Commissioner Harbert moved to enter staff's recommendation into the record as written. The motion, seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, carried unanimously. Mr. Schuett explained a complaint was received and the file and property were reviewed. The property has transferred ownership and a different type of dog is in the kennel, which are both violations of the Development Standards. He indicated he had spoken with Jerrilyn Gates, current owner of the property, who indicated she was unaware of the Development Standards and the Permit. Mr. Schuett recommended a Show Cause hearing be set for March 2, 1994, for revocation of said Permit. In response to questions from the Board, Mr. Schuett confirmed that Ms. Gates said there are eight dogs on the property and recommended a new permit rather than an amended one. After further discussion, Ms. Gates said they intend to apply for the necessary permits and requested the investigation fee be waived by the Board since they were not previously aware of the violations. Mr. Schuett indicated the Gates have a deed for the property, and Ms. Gates said she was aware the previous owner had a permit for 20 dogs, but she had no other details about the permit. Mr. Schuett confirmed that today was the first time Ms. Gates had seen the plat. No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. Commissioner Hall moved to find Probable Cause and schedule a Show Cause Hearing for March 2, 1994, at 10:00 a.m. Commissioner Kirkmeyer seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Commissioner Baxter questioned whether the Board should deal with the investigation fee now, and Mr. Barker advised that would be better handled in a work session. CONSIDER RECOVERING COSTS FOR ABATEMENT OF DANGEROUS BUILDING - MARTINEZ (11/15/93) : Ed Stoner, Building Inspection Department representative, said this property was inspected on February 7, 1994, and 85 percent of the debris had been removed. He indicated Thomas Martinez, owner of the property, is continuing to clean up the debris and recommended Mr. Martinez be allowed until March 1, 1994, to complete said cleanup. Mr. Stoner then recommended a hearing date of April 20, 1994, to consider recovering the cost of the demolition work. Commissioner Baxter indicated, for the record, the pictures taken during the inspection were inadvertently dated February 7, 1995. In response to a question from Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Stoner said only the frame and floor of the mobile home are remaining. He also explained the zoning violation, considered earlier in the meeting, concerns a derelict vehicle on the property. Mr. Martinez indicated the property is cleaner now than it has been in twenty years and he needed additional time to complete the cleanup. In response to a question from Commissioner Hall, Mr. Martinez indicated he took over his father's tax payments in November 1992, and requested he be allowed until March 7 for Minutes - February 16, 1994 Page 4 completion. He stated all the metals are being recycled and additional time is needed to sort things out. Commissioner Baxter indicated the violation notice was probably triggered by a complaint and agreed the property has been cleaned up considerably. Commissioner Hall moved to continue said matter to March 7, 1994, and Commissioner Baxter seconded the motion which carried unanimously.
