BUSINESS:
OLD: CONSIDER TAX ABATEMENT PETITION FROM TEXAS-OHIO POWER, INC. , AND

said he received a phone call from Stephanie Tutthill, Attorney
for Texas-Ohio Power, Inc. , stating she is unable to attend
either today or August 31, 1994, and Texas-Ohio Power and the
Division of Property Taxation have not yet agreed upon the
amount of the requested abatement; therefore, she requested a
continuance to September 7, 1994. Mr. Barker further stated he

Taxation and contacted the Treasurer and Assessor to assure

stated this is the assessment for 1994 to be used for the 1995

authorize the Chairman to sign. Seconded by Commissioner

CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: TERMINATION OF SUBSIDY FOR COURT
SECURITY BY WELD COUNTY, COLORADO, PURSUANT TO SECTION 20(9) ,
ARTICLE X, COLORADO CONSTITUTION, AND DIRECT STAFF TO SEND
APPROPRIATE NOTICE: Mr. Barker stated the Board of
Commissioners and Weld County Sheriff, on August 22, 1994,
received an Order from Judge West requiring the County to
provide security for the courthouse on a full-time basis
beginning November 1, 1994. The County has been working with
the courts to determine the level of security, as well as who
will pay for the security provided. The County estimates it
will cost $15,000 for initial setup costs, plus $80, 000 per
year. The Board requested a draft resolution providing for
turnback to the State of all costs associated with security
ordered by the court. Mr. Barker stated the security will be
provided as of November 1, 1994, in compliance with Judge West's
Order; therefore, the County will begin billing the State as of
that date. Commissioner Harbert pointed out that the County has
tried to work with the courts to come up with a plan to share
the costs, but an agreement has not been reached. Commissioner
Hall moved to approve said draft resolution; however, he stated
Minutes - August 24, 1994
Page 2
he will continue to work with CCI to try to establish a method
to pay for court-mandated costs to counties, such as user fees.
Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried
unanimously.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION RE: TERMINATION OF SUBSIDIES FOR COURTHOUSE
FACILITIES BY WELD COUNTY, COLORADO, PURSUANT TO SECTION 20(9) ,
ARTICLE X, COLORADO CONSTITUTION, AND DIRECT STAFF TO SEND
APPROPRIATE NOTICE: Mr. Barker stated the County is required by
statute to provide a courthouse building; however, requests for
maintenance and capital projects have recently been submitted
which possibly exceed requirements set by statute. The draft
resolution submitted includes turnback to the State over a
three-year period of $300,000, as well as ten special project
requests which were received in conjunction with the 1995
budget. Commissioner Baxter moved to approve said draft
resolution. Seconded by Commissioner Harbert, the motion
carried unanimously.
CONSIDER QUIT CLAIM DEED TO WILLIAM F. AND TONI M. WICKERSHAM
AND AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN: Mr. Barker explained the
County, in February 1994, sold a parcel known as Scout Island to
Mr. Wickersham. At the same time, the County vacated the nearby
right-of-way. Mr. Wickersham is now trying to sell his
property; however, in order for a clear title to be obtained, he
needs the Quit Claim Deed to be executed on the portion of
right-of-way which was vacated. Commissioner Hall moved to
approve said deed and authorize the Chairman to sign. Seconded
by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF WELD COUNTY ROAD 65 BETWEEN
HIGHWAY 52 AND WELD COUNTY ROAD 10: Commissioner Harbert moved
to approve said closure. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer,
the motion carried unanimously.
PLANNING: CONSIDER VACATION OF AMENDED RE #1053 - WICKERSHAM: Greg
Thompson, Department of Planning Services, stated Mr. Wickersham
is trying to sell 80 acres with improvements and 127 acres
without improvements. In order to complete the transactions he
needs to have RE #1053, dated May 2, 1991, vacated.
Commissioner Hall moved to approve said vacation. Seconded by
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER RE #1636 - SCHOOL DISTRICT RE-8/FULTON IRRIGATION DITCH
COMPANY: Todd Hodges, Department of Planning Services,
explained this request is to divide a 5-acre parcel into two
parcels of 0.5 acres and 4.5 acres, more or less. The old
Independence School is on proposed Lot B, and a small house is
existing on proposed Lot A. Burl VanBuskirk, representing the
Fulton Ditch Company, explained the school district purchased 40
acres in Fort Lupton in 1941 for a football field, of which
Fulton Ditch Company owned a portion of one acre. That portion
owned by the ditch company was exchanged for proposed Lot A of
RE #1636, causing an illegal land split to occur when the
transaction was completed in 1974. Stephan Brancucci, President
of Fulton Ditch Company, explained a clause in the original deed
that states the land returns to the family if not utilized by
the school district. Mr. VanBuskirk stated the exchange of
property in 1972 took two years to straighten out because of the
clause in the deed. In response to questions from Commissioner
Hall, Trevor Jiricek, Weld County Health Department, explained
the policy of the Health Department is to not recommend approval
on any lot less than one acre in size which will utilize an
Individual Sewage Disposal System. Any failure of or repairs to
an existing system also requires an ISDS evaluation, as well as
a distance of 100 foot which must be maintained between the
septic system and existing well. With this small property, the
100-foot distance cannot be maintained. After discussion,
Minutes - August 24, 1994
Page 3
Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she has problems with this request
because of the sewer/septic system being inadequate and
presently failing, according to Mr. Jiricek's evaluation; and
Lot B would be available for an additional dwelling, since the
present school could be either an accessory dwelling and used
for storage or remodeled to become a residence. In response to
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Jiricek stated the problem
concerning the septic system cannot be fixed with only one-half
acre, unless a septic easement is obtained from the School
District. Mr. VanBuskirk marked the location of the septic
system and well, Exhibit A, and stated there is no community
water supply at the present time. After further discussion,
Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she would rather continue this
matter to allow time to discuss a septic easement with the
school district; to determine whether or not the school district
would agree with an added condition stating the old school
building is the primary dwelling on Lot B; and to require use of
the existing access onto both properties. Don Carroll, Public
Works Department, explained the department's policy of allowing
one access per legal parcel. He incorrectly believed there to
be only one access on Lot A; however, since there are two
accesses presently in place, they are adequate for ingress/
egress onto the properties. After clarifying the location of
the two existing accesses, Commissioner Harbert moved to
continue this matter to September 7, 1994, at 9:00 a.m.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer seconded the motion after directing the
Departments of Health and Planning Services to meet with the
applicant and School District to determine whether an agreement
can be reached concerning an easement for the leach field, the
old school building being the primary dwelling of Lot B, and
also request a school district representative be present to
answer any questions from the Board. The motion then carried
unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND
ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
consent agenda. There were no ordinances.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions
were attested to and respectfully submitted by the Acting Clerk
to the Board.
There being no further business, this meeting was adjourned at
9:45 a.m.
