GREELEY,COLORADO 80632 COLORADO March 25, 1996 William Fl. Jerke President Agriculture Council of Weld County Dear Mr. Jerke: On March 1, 1996, the Weld County Board of Commissioners received your letter requesting a reconsideration of a recent decision regarding time limitations on recorded exemptions (RE). The decision to modify the recorded exemption procedure was arrived at through a lengthy citizen participation process. The 13-member volunteer Comprehensive Plan Advisory Board conducted over 30 meetings concerning revisions to the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. All these meetings were open to the public. It was the unanimous consensus of the advisory board to modify time limitations on the RE process. Additionally, the Weld County Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of Ordinance 173-C (modifications to the RE process) to the Board of County Commissioners. At the October 25, 1995, Board of Commissioners meeting, the first reading of Ordinance 173-C occurred. This was followed by two more public hearings in front of the county commissioners. Despite being publicized four times in its entirety, no citizens spoke against the ordinance in front of either the Planning Commission or the Board of County Commissioners. While the Board of County Commissioners has chosen to continue to support the present land use system, we would like to commend you for taking the time to voice your opinion. We would also like to point out that the RE process is not the only alternative for development or division of land. Furthermore, in an effort to recognize unique circumstances for individuals seeking to expand opportunity or to avert personal financial calamity, the board constantly scrutinizes all county land use policies. In the future, as the board endeavors to streamline regulations and improve the land use process, we welcome your constructive ideas. irldija, CAD I ri3e 960669 ok/c' lo)( Agricultural Council Page 2 March 26, 1996 Rest assured we realize our responsibility to protect private property rights while ensuring adequate provision for the health, welfare, and safety for all county citizens.
