At said hearing on February 19, 1997, the Board continued said matter to March 12, 1997, at which time Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record. Kerni Keithley, Department of Planning Services representative, presented to the Board a letter from the applicant's attorney, Jacqueline Johnson, requesting this application be withdrawn. Ms. Keithley explained this application resulted from a violation, which is still existing and will be turned over to Julie Chester, Zoning Officer for Department of Planning Services. Ms. Johnson explained Mr. Soukup has reconsidered his position and intends to proceed with what he is allowed as use -by -right. She stated Mr. Soukup is requesting his tenants, college students, be allowed to remain until June 1, 1997. Responding to questions from the Board regarding the violation, Ms. Johnson reiterated Mr. Soukup's request to be allowed to vacate the properties as of June 1, 1997, and stated some uses are pre-existing, or predate the Zoning Ordinance. 970439 ez: Pt_ PL0050 RE: HEARING CERTIFICATION - SOUKUP INVESTMENTS, LLC (USR #1135) PAGE 2 Ms. Keithley clarified no non -conforming use files for the subject property exist; however, if proof is provided, they can be created. She noted for the record that VI #9600045 was caused by the number of animal units and residences. After further discussion, Mr. Morrison clarified the violation issues should be discussed at a violation hearing, not at this hearing. Ms. Chester explained the violation case was previously scheduled at a violation hearing; however, the applicant submitted the USR application prior to that violation hearing. Commissioner Hall suggested the VI #960045 be scheduled at the next violation hearing, and Ms. Chester confirmed it would be heard the second Tuesday in April 1997, at 10:00 a.m. After further discussion, Commissioner Webster moved to accept the request of Mr. Soukup to withdraw the application for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit #1135 for a livestock confinement operation (400 cattle), boarding facility (12 horses), and 3 accessory to the farm residences along with the principle residence (4 residences total) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hall, and it carried unanimously. This Certification was approved on the 17th day of March, 1997.

Box 758 GREELEY, COLORADO 80632 Dear Secretary of State, Board, and Council: Pursuant to § 24-18-109(3)(b) and § 24-18-110, C.R.S., this letter constitutes disclosure of a relationship which may have the appearance of a conflict of interest in my official duty as a member of the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado. There is currently pending a hearing before the Board of County Commissioners on a Use by Special Review permit for USR 1135. The permit is proposed to include, among other things, a livestock confinement operation for 400 cattle. The applicant, Brian Soukup, has, from time to time, contracted to have his cattle fed in another feedlot owned and operated by my son. I was previously involved in the family cattle business but no longer have any financial interest. I am unaware of the particulars of the business relationship between Mr. Soukup and my son other than to know that the number of cattle involved is a very small portion of my son's business. I do not believe that the Board of County Commissioners's decision on the USR would have any affect on the business relationship between my son and Mr. Soukup. More importantly, I would neither gain a profit nor suffer a loss even if the decision did impact the business relationship. ('_( : dB; dc -24-1-f- j P/� Conflict of Interest February 25, 1997 Page 2. I have discussed this matter with Lee D. Morrison, Assistant County Attorney and he and I concur that I do not have a conflict of interest in this particular case. I therefore intend to participate in deliberations before the Board of County Commissioners regarding Soukup. Yours very truly, BOARD OF WELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS �J ` l_/g211,1A;i1 yl/ /0 William H.
