COLORADO Inspection Report NAME: Joseph and Dorothy Vidal LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY: Lot 59 and 60, Block H, Evanston Addition, Weld County, Colorado DATE OF INSPECTION: April 27, 1995 CASE NUMBER: C-95-20 The property was inspected to determine compliance with section 31.2, 31.3.9 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. The property is not in compliance at this time. There has been progress in bringing this property into compliance, but there were still some problems which were discussed with Michael Charlesworth (resident). There is still a non- commercial junkyard which consists of a pile of wood and a transmission in the front yard and many derelict vehicles in the backyard which is still not properly screened. To bring the property into compliance the junk in the front yard needs to he removed and proper screening in the backyard to screen the derelict vehicles from adjacent property. Mr. Charlesworth indicated he had cooperated in removing most of the junk and would attempt to remove the remainder of it in the next few days and finish screening the remainder of the backyard. One photograph of the front yard was taken and one photograph of the backyard where the fence needed to be finished was also taken. CgaiS 7; c Julie Chester Zoning Inspector 951023 W1�Yc.
