Minutes - December 6, 1993 Page 3 SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 147-C, IN MATTER OF REPEAL AND RE-ENACTMENT, WITH AMENDMENTS TO CERTAIN MAPS TO ORDINANCE NO. 147, WELD COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ORDINANCE, AS CURRENTLY AMENDED: Commissioner Webster moved to read by title only. Seconded by Commissioner Hall, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Barker read the title of Ordinance No. 147-C and pointed out two errors which were corrected in said Ordinance. Chuck Cunliffe, Director of the Department of Planning Services, was present. Art Anderson read a letter in opposition from Bob Winter, Weld County Farm Bureau, a copy of which is attached. Bob Krepps, Manual Pineda, Curt Goble, Ed Orr, Dorothy Shield, Lee Morado, and Burl VanBuskirk spoke in opposition to said change. Concerns included: 1) the possibility of the County requiring hookup to public utilities, either now or under a future Board; 2) the possibility of stopping or limiting development; 3) ramifications of property owners losing their rights and being further restricted as to land use; 4) additional regulations for property owners to follow; and 5) possible economic disadvantages. Mr. Goble pointed out there are adequate existing barriers and natural boundaries which uphold the three-mile boundary now in existence. He feels there is no reason for a change. Mr. Orr suggested the County give a better definition of the boundary, which would allow for growth in the future, instead of tying the boundary to a map which would have to be updated. He also suggested further defining public utilities to clarify the exact meaning. Ms. Shield discussed the difficulty in maintaining all prime agricultural land without infringing upon the rights of the property owner who may not want to continue farming indefinitely. She feels the County should allow more flexibility in its Comprehensive Plan and respect the decisions of landowners concerning land splits and sales. Chairman Harbert reiterated the Minor Subdivision and Estate Zoning procedures allow for those properties to be divided and sold; while at the same time maintaining some control over accesses onto County roads and services which will be required in the area in the future. Bud Clemons, a member of the Planning Commission, requested the Board postpone any decision on this matter until the Comprehensive Plan is reviewed and all types of growth can be addressed at the same time. He explained the Planning Commission's hesitancy to tie the boundary to utilities, thus its amendment to staff's recommendation to tie the boundary to the municipal limits. After further discussion, Commissioner Hall moved to table Ordinance No. 147-C until after the Comprehensive Plan is revised. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Baxter. Mr. Barker asked Commissioner Hall to consider tabling until the first Board meeting after the effective date of the revised Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Hall agreed. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Baxter. In response to a question from Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Cunliffe stated it will take approximately 12 to 18 months to complete the Comprehensive Plan revision. After further discussion among the Board, the motion carried four to one, with Commissioner Kirkmeyer voting against said motion. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to direct staff to table the amendment to the Minor Subdivision Regulations which the Board previously directed them to complete. Seconded by Commissioner Hall, the motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The Resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent agenda. Ordinances No. 136-H, 84-0, and 82-0 were approved on second reading. Ordinance No. 147-C was tabled until the meeting after the effective date of the revised Comprehensive Plan.
