ROLL CALL: The meeting was called to order by the Chairman and on roll call the following members were present, constituting a quorum of the members thereof: Commissioner Constance L. Harbert, Chairman Commissioner W. H. Webster, Pro-Tem Commissioner George E. Baxter Commissioner Dale K. Hall Commissioner Barbara J. Kirkmeyer Also present: Weld County Attorney, Bruce T.

Commissioner Webster seconded the motion, and it carried unanimously. ADDITIONS: There were no additions to today's agenda. CONSENT AGENDA: Commissioner Baxter moved to approve the consent agenda as printed. Commissioner Hall seconded the motion, and it carried unanimously. PUBLIC INPUT: Tom Hogelin said he would like to object to the Stephens mobile home. Chairman Harbert explained that testimony would be taken when the Board considers that item, which is #2 under Planning. There was no other public input offered today. WARRANTS: Don Warden presented the following warrants for approval by the Board: General Fund $ 163, 916.40 Commissioner Hall moved to approve the warrants as presented by Mr. Warden. Commissioner Kirkmeyer seconded the motion which carried unanimously. BIDS: PRESENT DEMOLITION OF GALETON GRAIN ELEVATOR - BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS DEPARTMENT: Pat Persichino, Director of General Services, said Agritrack, Inc. , was the sole bidder at $37, 700, with the stipulation they are not responsible for asbestos abatement. This bid will be considered for approval on May 26, 1993. PRESENT REPAIR TILE PROJECT - SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: Mr. Persichino said Big R of Greeley was the sole bidder at a total cost of $6, 188. In response to questions of the Board, Mr. Persichino said most of the tile to be repaired in the jail is ceramic. He said there were four vendors at the walk through. Said bid will be considered for approval on May 26, 1993. 931416 APPROVE CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGE #8/1.5A - ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT: Drew Scheltinga, Director of Engineering, said this bid was opened last week and concerns the bridge over Coal Creek near Erie. He explained that Paramount Construction, Inc. , was the low bidder. Mr. Scheltinga indicated the reason for requesting emergency approval was that Paramount requested construction start as soon as possible in order to complete the project before the anticipated flood waters. However, yesterday Paramount reconsidered because they are predicting earlier flood waters. There is not time to complete the project until after the flood waters have abated. Therefore, this bid is inappropriate for emergency approval, and the normal procedure will be followed. Commissioner Webster moved to continue said matter to May 19, 1993, which was the initial date for approval. The motion, seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, carried unanimously. BUSINESS: OLD: CONSIDER CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 WITH THISSEN CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION AND AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN (CONT. FROM 05/10/93) : Mr. Persichino said this change order is for various items in the jail on the first and third floors. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve said change order and authorize the Chairman to sign. The motion, seconded by Commissioner Baxter, carried unanimously. NEW: CONSIDER APPOINTMENTS TO LOCAL ENERGY IMPACT AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REVIEW TEAM: Commissioner Webster moved to approve the appointment of Charles Hoff and Dale Butcher to said team. The motion, seconded by Commissioner Hall, carried unanimously. CONSIDER REAPPOINTMENTS TO BOARD OF PUBLIC HEALTH: Commissioner Hall moved to approve the reappointment of Nancy Fichter and Norma Taylor to said board, with terms to expire May 23, 1996. The motion, seconded by Commissioner Baxter, carried unanimously. CONSIDER TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF WELD COUNTY ROAD 32 BETWEEN WELD COUNTY ROADS 13 AND 17: Commissioner Baxter moved to approve said closure. The motion, seconded by Commissioner Webster, carried unanimously. PLANNING: CONSIDER RE #1495 - DOCHEFF: Chuck Cunliffe, Director of Planning, read staff's favorable recommendation into the record with four proposed Conditions of Approval. Mr. Cunliffe said this request is being brought before the Board because it is a further subdivision through the recorded exemption process. He said an earlier subdivision was done for Mr. Docheff's other son who is employed by the dairy. Jim Docheff, applicant, said he has five sons, and two are in the dairy business with him. He said his son is getting married this fall and wants to live near the dairy. In response to a question from Chairman Harbert, Mr. Cunliffe said the 30' access easement already exists. After further comments, Mr. Docheff said all Conditions of Approval are agreeable. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve Recorded Exemption #1495 for James and Judy Docheff. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Webster. Commissioner Baxter commented that this application meets the recorded exemption criteria more so than most. Commissioner Webster confirmed that the same driveway would be used. The motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER ZPMH #1856 - STEPHENS: Mr. Cunliffe read staff's favorable recommendation into the record with two proposed Conditions of Approval. He said staff received one letter of objection from Mr. Hogelin. Larry Stephens, applicant, said he is on disability and spent all his savings to buy this three- acre tract and a trailer house which has been in storage for two months. Kevin Willard, surrounding property owner, submitted Minutes - May 12, 1993 Page 2 pictures of Mr. Stephens' existing dwelling, Exhibits A through E for the record. He stated concerns and said he would like to build to the west of Mr. Stephens' property in the future. After discussion with Mr. Cunliffe, Mr. Willard explained the surrounding land uses for Commissioner Baxter. Mr. Cunliffe said the surrounding area is primarily agricultural. Commissioner Webster confirmed that the pictures are of Mr. Stephens' present residence, not the proposed being considered today. In response to a question from Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Stephens said the mobile home in the photos is not the one to be moved to the three acres. In response to Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Cunliffe said there is a small labor home on the property now which is to be demolished or moved, pursuant to Condition of Approval #2. Mr. Stephens said that house has been on the property for years and cited locations of several trailers in the area. Mr. Stephens said the trailer to be put on the three acres is 70 X 14, made in 1972, and cost $6500. Mr. Cunliffe confirmed there are a few mobile homes in the area, with the area being primary agricultural with single-family dwellings on large lots. Tom Hogelin, surrounding property owner, said the location is in full view from his home which he built three years ago. Mr. Hogelin stated further concerns about the mobile home and submitted various pictures, Exhibits F through I for the record. He said there are no mobile homes within a three-quarter mile radius of his home. In response to a question from Chairman Harbert, Mr. Cunliffe said Mr. Stephens' parcel is 3.2 acres and was created by a recorded exemption in 1989. Mr. Stephens bought the property in November of 1990. Mr. Hogelin said Mr. Stephens has put in a corral and branches were cut Saturday, but no other improvements have been done. He said the value of a built home versus a mobile home needs to be considered. In response, Mr. Stephens said he does not own the property he currently lives on, and half of the belongings on that site belong to the property owner. He said he has horses and four calves. Mr. Stephens noted that Mr. Hogelin's dogs got into his calves and Mr. Hogelin had to pay a fine and vet bills. He indicated the corral is pipe and cable, and he has put in electricity, cut trees and weeds, and obtained a sewer permit. Mr. Stephens said he thinks he has the existing dwelling sold, and it will be removed. He reiterated that he has invested all his savings in this proposal. Chairman Harbert confirmed that he is on disability. Commissioner Hall said he would like to postpone this matter to allow the Board to inspect the property to confirm compatibility with the area. Bruce Barker, County Attorney, recommended no testimony be taken at the site and the Board reserve the right to decide whether additional testimony will be taken after the site review. Carl Mason, surrounding property owner, said he installed an underground 12-inch water line in front of Mr. Stephens property. He said there has been poor cooperation, and the driveway is not wide enough through which to move the house. Mr. Mason stated further concerns about damage to the pipe if the house is moved over it, since the 18-wheelers hauling dirt have already crushed the pipe. In response to questions of the Board, Mr. Mason said he spoke with Mr. Stephens when he bought the property. After discussion concerning the depth of the pipe and where the Schedule 50 and 80 pipe is located, Chairman Harbert suggested Mr. Stephens put in a new driveway. Mr. Mason said the Schedule 80 will hold the weight of the house, but the house is too wide to fit through the drive. After further comments, Mr. Stephens said the hauling of dirt across the pipe has not been done on his land, but to the west from Mr. Erger's property. Mr. Stephens explained that the house is 40 feet wide, but the trailer it will be hauled on will have only an 8- foot wheel base. He said he is aware of the location of the Schedule 50 pipe; however, there is Schedule 80 pipe under the driveway. Mr. Stephens said there is an 8 X 10 partial basement/cellar under the house, which he will break out and Minutes - May 12, 1993 Page 3 fill in. Chairman Harbert suggested adding that requirement as a Condition. Mr. Cunliffe such a stipulation could be added and is the normal procedure. Commissioner Hall moved to continue said matter to May 17, 1993 to allow the Board to do a site review, with no testimony to be taken at the site, and to allow additional testimony at the next meeting as well as requiring the applicant to provide a photo of the proposed trailer. Commissioner Kirkmeyer seconded the motion which carried unanimously. CONSIDER MHZP #121 - REINICK: Mr. Cunliffe read the favorable recommendation of staff into the record. He said there have been two inquiries, but no objections have been received. The manufactured home has been in existence since 1984 as an accessory farm dwelling. This application is to bring the manufactured home into compliance as a principal dwelling. Mr. Cunliffe said a recorded exemption was staff approved in the last month. Bob Krepps, representing Rolland Reinick, said the home has been in place for ten years; it is very attractive and fits in well. He said the farm sold; therefore, the permit is required. He reiterated the property is landscaped and well maintained. There was no public testimony offered. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve Manufactured Home Zoning Permit #121 for Rolland Reinick. Commissioner Hall seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The Resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent agenda. There were no Ordinances.
