PLANNING: CONSIDER RE#1873 - PREIST (PLANNER EASTIN): Shani Eastin, Planning Department, explained RE #1873 was originally staff approved on April 23, 1996; however, the applicant has requested to expand the size of Lot A from 14 to 34.9 acres, and staff has concerns. Responding to questions from the Board, Ms. Eastin further explained the plat has not yet been recorded; therefore, there is no need for an amended recorded exemption. She also reiterated staff concerns. Ruth Preist, applicant, noted corrections on the map and stated she maintains a flock of 150 unique sheep for which she needs more than 14 acres. Referencing staff concerns, Ms. Preist clarified there are no further land split speculations, and the fences are easily removed and installed for rotational grazing. She explained they were unable to obtain a survey for the exact acreage at the time staff approved the original exemption and her representative advised her to submit it for 14 acres. Ms. Preist explained the proposed Lot A would be 35 acres and would be irrigated from the headgate. She noted 90 acres is too difficult to farm and 14 acres is not enough for her sheep; therefore, adding an additional 20 acres, which is a very large investment, should provide an economic and agricultural return. Ms. Preist reviewed her experience with land planning and its importance. Responding to further questions from the Board, Ms. Preist stated the remaining 70 acres in proposed Lot B may be purchased by her nephew for a cattle business, or it may be sold because she can no longer maintain it. She stated she agrees with all Conditions of Approval and explained she built a house on Lot B two years ago and met all requirements at that time. Ms. Preist confirmed she now intends to build a house on Lot A and maintain her livestock facility. She noted the compromise she made will maintain two agricultural operations, and she reiterated the electric fences are used for rotational grazing. Ms. Preist confirmed the drawing prepared by Intermill Land Surveying is correct, and the grass seeded on Lot A is now growing. No public testimony was offered. Commissioner Harbert moved to approve RE#1873 for Donald and Ruth Preist, with the Conditions of Approval as recommended by staff. Commissioner Webster seconded the motion. Chair Kirkmeyer confirmed no new accesses will be permitted, and the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDER RE#1892 - BROWN (PLANNER GORANSON): Chris Goranson, Planning Department, requested this matter be considered with the following item of business, SE#588, and entered staffs recommendation into the record. (Changed to Tape #96-17.) He confirmed for the Board there is a house existing on proposed Lot A and on the proposed subdivision exemption lot which Minutes, June 12, 1996 961036 Page 3 BC0016 are both less than one acre in size. Bruce Johnson, applicant's representative, confirmed a building envelope on Lot B is acceptable and suggested it be placed on the west side of Weld County Road 37 and the north side of the field road. Chair Kirkmeyer confirmed no new accesses are necessary and all Conditions of Approval are agreeable. Mr. Johnson confirmed the existing lots have existing sewers and the remainder of the property is farmed. Responding to questions from the Board, Mr. Barker confirmed the building envelope concerns only the recorded exemption and will not restrict any future subdivision development. No public testimony was offered. Commissioner Webster moved to approve RE#1892 and SE #588, with Conditions of Approval as suggested by staff. Commissioner Baxter seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. CONSIDER SE #588 - BROWN (PLANNER GORANSON): This item was discussed and approved with the previous item of business, RE #1892.
