CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: VACATING A PORTION OF WELD COUNTY ROAD 8 WEST OF WELD COUNTY ROAD 19: Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, stated this petition was submitted, pursuant to State statute, to vacate a certain portion of Weld County Road 8 on the section line. He noted a referral from George Cicoff, Public Works Director, was also submitted and the petitioners are present. Mr. Morrison stated the petition lays out the reasons for vacation and noted the road has not been used for over 90 years. Bill Matlock, petitioner, explained he initiated this petition concerning a proposal to purchase three acres of property from Helen Johnson. He read a prepared statement and explained his plans and reasons. He noted the right-of-way would cut the property he proposes to purchase into two pieces. Mr. Matlock stated, pursuant to Mr. Cicoff's recommendation, the road should be straightened and the matter be tabled; however, the reservoir was built in 1896 and the road now goes around it . He stated Mr. Cicoff's suggestion to bridge the reservoir makes no sense; therefore, he would respectfully request the vacation be granted. Commissioner Harbert indicated a portion of Weld County Road 8 was paved with the idea that it may some day become a major arterial; however, she is not sure that a bridge is the solution if Road 8 became a connecting point or arterial. Mr. Cicoff stated he has not had time to prepare cost estimates on the alternatives which he outlined; however, the County is now requesting funds for improvements on Weld County Road 19, and Road 8 could become a major east/west road. IIe stated, however, there may be problems with the wetlands and residences. Commissioner Harbert stated that all roads do not need to be straight and suggested the alignment used in either Exhibit #3 or #4, attached to Mr. Cicoff's recommendation, could be used. Mr. Matlock indicated, on the map he submitted as Exhibit A, the location of the property which he already owns and which he proposes to buy. Mr. Morrison stated, pursuant to an undated petition, the road was realigned by use; however, it is Weld County right-of-way. He stated Peg Martin owns land to the north of the lake and Helen Johnson owns land to the south. Commissioner Hall noted that neither alignment in Exhibit #3 or #4 would be affected by the existing right-of-way. Commissioner Harbert stated she was going to suggest trading right-of-way; however, Mr. Matlock does not yet own the property. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated Road 8 is now a local road and there are no plans in the Five-Year Plan or the Comprehensive Plan for it to become an arterial; therefore, Road 19 should be straightened as planned, and the Road 8 can be curved. Commissioner Harbert stated she agreed and is not against the petition, but questions must be answered. Mr. Morrison stated the principal concern is the first portion of the right-of-way which separates the three acres; therefore, he suggested dealing with the first few hundred feet of right-of-way. Commissioner Harbert indicated hope that the neighborhood would cooperate in the future if the road became an arterial. In response to questions from Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Cicoff reiterated he did not have time to prepare cost estimates; therefore, he is unsure which alignment would be practical. Commissioner Baxter stated he saw no point in keeping the right-of-way unless the County was sure it would be needed. Mr. Cicoff responded to a question from Commissioner Kirkmeyer indicating a bridge one-fifth of the length necessary would cost $1.5 million if built to State standards. Helen Johnson, petitioner, stated she owns property on the south end of the lake and, if the alignment in Exhibit #4 were used, it would take all her property. She also stated that Mr. Matlock would probably not want to buy her property if the lake was going to be cut in two in a year. Commissioner Harbert stated she does not see that happening and reassured Ms. Johnson the County would have to purchase the right-of-way before Minutes - September 19, 1994 Page 3 constructing the road. Peggy Martin, petitioner, stated she owns most of the property around the reservoir and does not see what the problem would be to drive around a curve instead of messing up the wetlands. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve said resolution, and Commissioner Harbert seconded the motion which carried unanimously.
