Weld County Commissioner

RE: USR-1044
Dear Mr. Webster:
It would be an understatement to say we were disappointed with
your decision on the Harmon' s USR-1044 permit , appalled would be
a better description. It was obvious that the decision to
approve the permit was made prior to the hearing , and objections
expressed to you were irrelevant. I hope you realize that more
time , money and effort went into documenting our opposition to
the permit than the Harmon' s spent getting your approval .
All of our objections were based on statements made in the
Harmon' s letter of application. How could you completely
disregard the documented objections in favor of undocumented
statements. In the planning hearing Mr. Harmon indicated he
owned 9 horses , in your hearing he says he owns 15 horses, I
wonder how many are his?
As elected officials of Weld County, you are accountable for your
decision. Being interested parties and long time voting Weld
County residents you owe us an explanation on:
1 . How can you equate the proposed building as being compatible
and consistent when it is so large that it will hold almost
half of the barns in the subdivision. You were also given
documentation showing that no where in Weld County is there
a building near that size on such a small lot.
2 . How can you equate 1 , 2 or 3 horses used for pleasure on a
5-acre lot with 30 horses being bred, raised and trained for
racing on a 7-acre lot?
3 . How could you be so arrogant as to completely disregard the
objections of a majority of the surrounding property owners?
4 . Please explain how training race horses fits into
agriculture. Horse racing is generally considered to be a
commercial venture.

5 . We showed you how our area fits in with future growth from
the south and how we fit into Broomfield' s comprehensive
plan. Why was this given no consideration?
6 . A letter from the developer on original intent meant nothing
not even a question, why?
7 . A letter from a real estate broker on future land values
also had no impact on you, why?
We do expect you will respond to these questions and concerns .
We would also like a time frame on repairing the road. If you
are still believing Mr. Harmon that there is nothing wrong with
the road, I would invite you to come and see for yourself. In
several areas the water has to run 6 inches deep before it can
enter the bar ditch. We also believe the road should be oiled.
