Dear Applicant:
Your application and related materials for the request described above are being processed at the present time. I have scheduled
a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission for August 15, 1995, at 1:30 p.m. This meeting will take place in the
County Commissioners' Hearing Room, First Floor, Weld County Centennial Center, 915 10th Street, Greeley, Colorado. It
is recommended that you and/or a representative be in attendance to answer any questions the Planning Commission members
may have.
It is the policy of Weld County to refer an application to any town or municipality lying within three miles of the property or
if the property is located within the comprehensive planning area of a town or municipality. Therefore, our office has
forwarded copies of the submitted materials to the City of Longmont and the Town of Mead Planning Commission for their
review and comments. Please call Brad Schol, City of Longmont, at 651-8330 and Judy Hegwood, Town of Mead, at 962-2521
for further details regarding the date, time, and place of this meeting. It is recommended that you and/or a representative be
in attendance at the Planning Commission meeting to answer any questions the Commission members may have with respect
to your application.
A representative from the Department of Planning Services will be out to the property a minimum of ten days prior to the
hearing to post a sign adjacent to and visible from a publicly maintained road right-of-way which identifies the hearing time,
date, and location. In the event the property is not adjacent to a publicly maintained road right-of-way, one sign will be posted
in the most prominent place on the property and a second sign posted at the point at which the driveway (access drive)
intersects a publicly maintained road right-of-way.
The Department of Planning Services' staff will make a recommendation concerning this application to the Weld County
Planning Commission. This recommendation will be available twenty-four (24) hours before the scheduled hearing. It is the
responsibility of the applicant to call the Department of Planning Services' office before the Planning Commission hearing to
