PLANNING: CONSIDER REMOVAL OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARD #3 FROM USR #1026 -
ENOS: Gloria Dunn, Department of Planning Services, explained
that Development Standard #3 of USR #1026 and #1027 for Howard
and Jeannine Enos requires the property owners to maintain Weld
County Road 17. She stated the Department of Public Works has
verified Weld County Road 17, north of State Highway 14, is a
public road and is maintained by the County. Therefore, staff
supports the request to remove Development Standard #3 from each
Special Review Permit. Commissioner Baxter moved to remove
Development Standard #3 of USR #1026. Seconded by Commissioner
Hall, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER REMOVAL OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARD #3 FROM USR #1027 -

Commissioner Baxter moved to remove Development Standard #3 of
USR #1027, based upon the request from Howard and Jeannine Enos.
Seconded by Commissioner Hall, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER ZPMH #1900 - HARO: Keith Schuett, Department of
Planning Services, entered the favorable recommendation of staff
into the record as written, along with four proposed Conditions
of Approval. In response to Commissioner Harbert, Mr. Schuett
explained the applicant has moved two other mobile homes from
these lots and approval of this permit will close her zoning
violation case. Maria and Alberto Haro were present and stated
they agree with the Conditions of Approval as proposed by staff.
Dorothy Hamlet, surrounding property owner, stated concerns
about a similar request ten years ago not being given equal
consideration because of the lot size; the applicant not having
enough room to install another septic tank; and the proposed
Conditions of Approval, which she has not seen. (Changed to
Tape #94-17 while Ms. Hamlet was speaking. ) Mr. Barker provided
Ms. Hamlet with a copy of the Conditions of Approval. In
response to Commissioner Webster, Mr. Schuett stated each lot is
Minutes - March 30, 1994
Page 3
less than one acre. He said there is one residence on Lots 9
and 10, which uses a septic system located on Lot 11. The
request for a mobile home to be located on Lot 11 was completed
with the intent to install and hook up to a septic system on
Lots 9 and 10. The Health Department has requested the
applicants be required to tie each residence into the septic
system located on its respective lot. Duane Hamlet discussed
his concerns stating his lot is much bigger; however, a similar
request was denied. He is concerned about the location of the
septic tank, since there is no room for one on the lot.
Commissioner Harbert explained this board has no control over
the actions of prior boards; however, everyone has an equal
opportunity to apply for a mobile home permit. Mr. Barker
suggested this is not the proper forum and asked the Hamlets to
discuss the particulars of their property with the Department of
Planning Services to determine whether a mobile home permit
would be allowed. Commissioner Baxter pointed out the issue of
whether to handle unincorporated towns the same as other
properties throughout the County needs to be addressed.
Commissioner Harbert moved to approve ZPMH #1900 with four
Conditions of Approval. Seconded by Commissioner Baxter, the
motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER RE #1594 - BOND: Greg Thompson, Department of Planning
Services, read the unfavorable recommendation of staff into the
record. He stated the recorded exemption would create two legal
lots of 1.5 acres and 28.5 acres. However, the requirement that
each of those lots be connected to public water and sewer cannot
be met at this time because the cost is prohibitive; therefore,
Lot B could not obtain a building permit. Mr. Thompson stated
the sewer on Lot A is adequate at this time. Charles Dickson,
Attorney representing the applicant, explained the Bonds
purchased this property in 1993 with the intention of farming
it. The contract to sell the house and outbuildings was done
because the applicant did not have need of the buildings. Mr.
Dickson stated the City of Greeley intends to annex the property
in the future; however, if it is not annexed, the applicant will
eventually apply for a subdivision of some type. Mr. Dickson
responded to further questions from board members concerning the
zoning and possible annexation. Commissioner Harbert suggested
a Condition of Approval be added to require Lot A to hook up to
the public sewer when it is extended. Commissioners Hall and
Kirkmeyer asked the condition be written so that Lot A be
required to hook up to the public sewer when it is extended to
Lots A and B. There was no public testimony given on this
matter. Commissioner Kirkmeyer also suggested the word "can" in
Condition of Approval #4 be changed to "will". Mr. Barker
suggested the following wording for Condition of Approval #5:
"The following note shall be placed on the recorded exemption
plat prior to recording: 'At such time as a public sewer system
is extended to Lots A and B, the dwelling then located on Lot A
shall attach to said public sewer system'". Mr. Dickson
responded to Commissioner Kirkmeyer that they accept the
Conditions of Approval as discussed. Commissioner Kirkmeyer
moved to approve RE #1594 with five Conditions of Approval, and
the change in wording to Condition of Approval #4. Seconded by
Commissioner Hall, the motion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND
ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
consent agenda. There were no ordinances.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions
were attested to and respectfully submitted by the Acting Clerk
to the Board.
