Bruce Barker, County Attorney, also noted the applicant may request a continuance. Shani Eastin, Planning Department, stated the applicant's representatives have indicated they would like to proceed today. She then entered staffs recommendation into the record and noted concerns regarding the addition of another buildable lot. Ms. Eastin responded to questions from the Board and confirmed the applicant intends to hook into the public water provided by Little Thompson Water District to be available in 1996. Jeff Stoll, Health Department, explained the application for the existing cistern is dated March 1994, but it has not been finaled. He stated staff is working with the applicants, who have until February 1996, to submit the final documentation, which will complete the process. Ms. Eastin referred to Condition of Approval #1b and suggested the applicants be allowed to retain the cistern until the end of 1996, since it is unclear when public water will be available. Mr. Stoll reiterated the cistern was properly constructed and installed, and the Health Department has no problem with the applicants using it until public water is available. Commissioner Harbert confirmed the applicants need the cistern approved until January 1997. After further discussion, Terri Moore, applicant's daughter and owner of the home on proposed Lot A, stated she intends to tap into the water line on Highway 66 and reiterated the cistern permit was issued in 1994, and the cistern was inspected. She clarified she thought the process was complete as of February 1995. Ms. Moore confirmed her father is deeding her the property and stated the access is from Highway 66 with a driveway running north to her existing home. Ms. Eastin referred to her memo suggesting Condition of Approval #3 be added, which concerns the access easement across Lot B to Lot A. She confirmed the land is considered prime; however, proposed Lot A has an existing home, and the farm includes all family members. John Snyder, Ms. Moore's fiance, noted the land is naturally divided by the irrigation ditch, making it difficult to farm. Mr. Snyder and Ms. Moore stated there are no intentions to build on Lot B; however, her father is in Arizona and she does not have a power of attorney. Responding to further questions from the Board, Ms. Moore confirmed all construction meets code and reiterated the water line has already been extended from her house to Highway 66 to connect to Little Thompson water as soon as it is available. She agreed to all Conditions of Approval, including the addition of #3. Mr. Barker suggested Condition of Approval #1 b concerning the cistern be deleted and Condition of Approval #4 be added to further clarify the cistern and public water system requirements. He read said language into the record, and Ms. Moore, Ms. Eastin, and Mr. Stoll agreed. No public testimony was offered. Commissioner Harbert moved to approve RE #1811 for Frank Barnes, with the Conditions of Approval as recommended by staff including the deletion of Condition of Approval #1b and the addition of Condition of Approval #4 as entered into the record by Mr. Barker. Commissioner Webster seconded the Minutes, November 22, 1995 952366 Page 2 BC0016 motion, and Ms. Eastin and Mr. Barker clarified the motion should also include the addition of Condition of Approval #3 as recommended by staff. Commissioners Harbert and Webster agreed to said addition, and the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER RE #1817 - MCLAIN: Chairman Hall notified the applicant only four Commissioners are present, and, in the event of a tie, Commissioner Kirkmeyer would review the record and cast the deciding vote, or the applicant may request a continuance. The applicant's representatives indicated they would like to proceed today. Chris Goranson, Planning Department, entered staffs recommendation into the record, including concerns regarding the number of building sites in the area and the potential of taking 31.54 acres of land out of agricultural production.

He also stated all of Lot A and a portion of Lot B are considered irrigated farmland, not prime farmland. Tom Collins, representative for the applicant, stated the property is now irrigated grass and pasture and is very limited as a farm. He responded to further questions from the Board concerning irrigation water which will be designated for Lot A, as required by Condition of Approval #3b. Mr. Collins stated all surrounding lots are agricultural, with the residents working away from home. He confirmed the access to Lot A is existing off Weld County Road 53 and noted the McLains own most of the section around the subject property. Mr. Collins also confirmed engineer work would be done and a survey easement completed to deed an easement for the benefit of Lot B, as required by Condition of Approval #3a. After further discussion, Mr. Barker clarified the parcel is not considered land -locked while the current owner owns the surrounding property; however, an access must be designated for Lot B in case the owner sells it. Mr. Collins agreed to all Conditions of Approval, and no public testimony was offered. Commissioner Webster moved to approve RE #1817 for Donnie McLain, with the Conditions of Approval as recommended by staff.
