PLANNING: CONSIDER ZPMH #1873 - MARTINEZ: Chairman Harbert stated the
next three items will be considered as one since they are
related; however, separate motions will be made for each case.
With only three members of the Board present, Vincent Martinez,
applicant, was advised he may request continuance to another
date when the full Board is present. Mr. Martinez requested the
cases be heard today. Monica Daniels-Mika, Department of
Planning Services, presented the favorable recommendation of
staff for the record. Mr. Martinez answered questions from the
Board, stating he has already purchased one mobile home, which
has been placed on the property at the direction of Planning
staff. He said he has a proposed buyer for the mobile home, and
the septic system and electricity has already been installed.
Ms. Daniels-Mika explained the mobile home was sitting on the
street and staff told Mr. Martinez it would be better to move it
onto the property. In response to questions from Commissioner
Hall, Mr. Martinez clarified the electricity is at the site, but
has not been installed, and stated he did not realize he needed
a building permit before the mobile home was located on the
property, although he does own other units in the area. Donald
W. Clamp, Jr. , surrounding property owner, presented a letter
with photographs, marked Exhibit A, in opposition to these
requests. He stated water taps are not available for each
property; the applicant has not demonstrated good faith in
maintaining his other properties in the area, as shown by the
Minutes - November 24, 1993

photos which depict derelict vehicles, uncut weeds, and debris;
the weeds on these three parcels have not been cut over the past
year; and the applicant moved a mobile home onto one property
without a permit. Jolene Collie, surrounding property owner,
voiced her opposition to this matter, due to the problems caused
by rentals in the area. She stated most property owners
purchased their lots for the benefit of the small-town
atmosphere, and there are not many rentals in the area. Donna
Adams, surrounding property owner, agreed with all Ms. Collie' s
statements, and emphasized the management of properties owned by
Mr. Martinez is disgusting. Mr. Martinez commented that he can
clean up any of the properties in a couple of hours and, in
response to a question from Commissioner Webster, stated he has
dealt with any violations received on his properties in the
past. Ms. Daniels-Mika clarified there are weeds on these
parcels; however, she is unaware of violations on other
properties he owns. In response to a question from Chairman
Harbert, Ms. Daniels-Mika referred to the statement received
from Aristocrat Ranchettes Water Project, Inc. , indicating there
is a working water tap on each parcel. Mr. Martinez explained
those were purchased with the property. In responding to
Commissioner Hall, Mr. Martinez said he was not aware of the
requirement for a building permit to place a mobile home on the
property, although he does own eighteen other properties in this
subdivision. Commissioner Webster pointed out the letter
received from the Fort Lupton Planning Commission, which is not
in favor of placement of mobile homes on properties within this
subdivision. Ms. Collie stated the president of the water board
told her there is no legal water tap on these properties, there
is only one tap on the three properties, and it is not approved
for use. Mr. Barker cautioned the Board against heresay
evidence and stated it would be better to hear that evidence
directly from the water authority. Keith Schuett, Department of
Planning Services, answered questions concerning other
violations sent to Mr. Martinez. Mr. Schuett said all the
concerns were addressed after his five-day letter was sent. He
said only four lots were inspected, and he is not aware of other
violations. In response to Commissioner Webster's question, Mr.
Schuett stated weed control is not covered in the violation
process. Mr. Barker pointed out that the criteria for approval
is as listed, and the Board should concern themselves only with
these particular properties. After further discussion,
Commissioner Hall moved to continue ZPMH #1873 to December 13,
1993, at 9:00 a.m. He directed staff to verify whether there is
a legal water tap on each property and to check the validity of
Mary Gealfos ' signature on the statement from Aristocrat
Ranchettes Water Project, Inc. Seconded by Commissioner
Webster, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER ZPMH #1874 - MARTINEZ: Commissioner Hall moved to
continue ZPMH 41874 to December 13, 1993, at 9:00 a.m. Seconded
by Commissioner Webster, the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER ZPMH #1875 - MARTINEZ: Commissioner Hall moved to
continue ZPMH #1875 to December 13, 1993, at 9:00 a.m. Seconded
by Commissioner Webster, the motion carried unanimously.
