Dear Mr. Baxter,
6707 W.C.R. 19
Ft. Lupton, Colorado

We thank you for the time you extended to us today for our
presentation on behalf of our request for approval of ZPAD-79. We
very much appreciate the professional manner in which you chaired
the meeting.
There is something we are trying to understand, and we would like
to ask a question to help us. The question is: What is it that we
needed to say and/or do in order to convince the Board of County
Commissioners that our ZPAD-79 request should have been approved?
We expect that at some time in the future we may be again applying
for an accessory dwelling. We would like to clearly understand what
criteria are being used to approve or deny requests such as ours.
There was obviously something that you discerned about the nature
of our request that lead to your vote against denial of ZPAD-79.
Could you please clarify for us what you thought the main issues
were that lead the other members to vote for denial of ZPAD-79.
Sincerely Yours,
/y ,
Richard and Elizabeth Wilson

RE: Response to Letter of April 30, 1997, Regarding ZPAD-79
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wilson:
The Board of County Commissioners has received your letter of April 30, 1997, regarding
ZPAD-79. In your letter, you ask "What is it that we needed to say and/or do in order to
convince the Board of County Commissioners that our ZPAD-79 request should have been
approved?"
Enclosed is a copy of the Board of County Commissioners' Resolution regarding its decision on
the ZPAD-79 request. Also enclosed is a copy of § 43.2.3.1 of the Weld County Zoning
Ordinance (Weld County Ordinance 89, as amended). As you can see from the Resolution, the
Board of County Commissioners addressed each of the criteria which are stated in the regulation.
The Board of County Commissioners cannot give you any guidance as to what it is you should
say or do which will convince the Board to approve any zoning request you submit in the future,
other than to always speak forthrightly to each of the pertinent criteria associated with the
request.
Your letter also suggests that you will be applying again for an accessory dwelling "some time in
the future." Please be advised that pursuant to Section entitled, "Applications for Land -Use
Matters for Property Previously Denied,"of the Weld County Administrative Manual, you will
need to go through a substantial change hearing if you desire to reapply for an accessory
dwelling for the same property. The Board of County Commissioners will determine in the
substantial change hearing whether the facts and circumstances regarding the request have
changed substantially from your original application. No reapplication for the accessory
dwelling on the property will be accepted by the Department of Planning Services unless and
until the Board approves of the filing after a substantial change hearing.
