Dear Ms. Henson
RE: Cottonwood Water Ski Club, Ltd.
Case Numbers Z-473, USR-968 and USR-969
On behalf of our Client, Cottonwood Water Ski Club, Ltd. , we
wold like to make two requests of the Board of County Commissioners
regarding the above referenced cases. The first one is for the
Board to hear the three cases on Monday, July 13th, 1992 , instead
of waiting for the next regular hearing date that is open, July
22nd, 1992 . I understand that under some circumstances the Board
will hear a case on a day other, than a regular scheduled hearing.
We feel this is one case when the Board may grant an exception.
In addition the Planning Department suggested we ask the Board
of County Commissioners for approval to use the lake for skiing
until the hearings could be concluded. If this were approved then
there would be no need to hold the special hearing on July 13th,
since the Club could use the lake while waiting for the hearings
later in July. Cons tiering these e ircumstrinccs: - -- was
_ n.. h � property
purchased by the Club for water skiing purposes in 1984 and until
this year the lake was not big enough to ski on; any loss of use
during the summer is hard on the owners. The temporary use
approval would be the most fair, since as it is now the owners are
denied use of their property. We feel the following information
supports both requests and should be taken into account.
1. The Weld County Planning staff recommended approval of all
three cases.
2 . The Weld Count Planning Commission voted, unanimously, to
recommend approval of these cases to the Board of County
Commissioners.
3 . The City of Brighton had stated they approve of the proposed
changes.

4 . There is no opposition to the Rezoning and Special Uses.
5. The very short time period each year when water skiing can be
done.
6. Allowing water skiing in an Industrial Zone District would
have less impact to the community that any Use By Right
allowed.
We would like these requests presented to the Board for their
consideration. We will have representatives there to explain these
t will let when Board them.
requests if you w7y i f.. us know �iaacaa. the will discuss
I have to be out of town Thursday, June 4th thru Friday, June
5th, 1992 on business. Please call Mr. Phil Edwards at 424-4980
regarding the time and date we need to present this request to the
Board. He is a member of the Club and will make sure myself and
Mr. Norman Speak are informed. Also please leave a message at my
office, 423-7297 (voice mail) so I can get it late Friday when I
return. Thank you for your help and if you have any question
please call me at the above number.
