PLANNING: CONSIDER RE #1723 - SCHILD: Shani Eastin, Planning Department, read staffs recommendation, including concerns, into the record. Dorothy Schild, applicant, stated the subject property is being farmed now and they would like to split it to sell later for economic purposes. She noted the property is already surrounded by urban/rural residents. Ms. Schild commented on the availability of utilities in the area and stated they are reacting to the development in the area. Harold Johnson, broker, reiterated the tremendous amount of development in the area since Weld County Road 17 north of Highway 14 was paved. He agreed the area with a building and pump would be exempt from the recorded exemption. Mr. Johnson reiterated the compatibility of the proposal with the area and recommended approval. Responding to questions from the Board, Ms. Schild confirmed the farm is irrigated and raises mostly beets and corn. She stated the farm would be sold with water and would most likely be used for hay and grass pasture. She noted productive agriculture is no longer common in the area and reviewed the irrigation company's constraints. Ms. Schild stated 30 shares of water are available and stated they would capitalize on the property by selling it. She located the North Weld Water lines on the overhead map and noted the property was once owned by developers who let the ground dry up; however, she and her husband put the farm back into agriculture after they bought it. Mr. Johnson and Ms. Schild confirmed there are two existing accesses to each lot, with the two on Weld County Road 15 being the best for residential use. Ms. Eastin confirmed Public Works did not comment on the referral. Ms. Schild stated both Roads 15 and 84 are paved and the site is only 1/2 mile from Larimer County. She again reviewed the use of the surrounding properties and reiterated the more sensible residential access would be on Road 15. Mr. Johnson confirmed both accesses on Road 15 have covered crossings over the irrigation ditch. They stated the production on the farm was average and reiterated the water would be sold with the property in proportionate shares for each parcel. Responding to further questions from the Board, Ms. Schild stated the land is productive, and the surrounding land is, too; however, the needs and uses are changing. She confirmed eventually they would stop farming the land and referred to their home farm, dairy, etc. No public testimony was offered. Mr. Barker informed the applicants, in case of a tie vote, Commissioner Harbert would review the record and cast the deciding vote. Ms. Schild confirmed the Conditions of Approval as recommended by staff were acceptable. Commissioner Baxter moved to approve RE #1723 for Richard and Dorothy Schild, with the Conditions of Approval as recommended by staff. He agreed the area is being developed, and since water will be available for grass, there will still be limited agriculture. Commissioner Webster seconded the motion, and Commissioner Minutes, May 1, 1995 950918 Page 4 BC0016 Kirkmeyer suggested additional Conditions of Approval requiring water always be available with the land and limiting accesses. Mr. Barker read proposed language for Conditions of Approval #3 and #4 into the record. Ms. Schild noted the type of agricultural production after the land is sold would probably not need as much water as what is being used now; however, if the buyers become stockholders, they, too, will have the opportunity to rent additional water. She reiterated the intent is to ensure the land is irrigated. Mr. Barker revised Condition of Approval #4 concerning the water issue, and Commissioner Baxter and Webster agreed to amend the motion to include the additional Conditions of Approval. The motion then carried unanimously. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 147-E, IN MATTER OF AMENDMENTS TO CERTAIN MAPS, WELD COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to read said ordinance by title only, and Commissioner Baxter seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Mr. Barker read the title of Ordinance No. 147-E into the record. No public testimony was offered. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve said ordinance on second reading. Commissioner Webster seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 147-F, IN MATTER OF AMENDMENTS TO CERTAIN MAPS, WELD COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Mr. Barker read said ordinance into the record. Monica Mika, Planning Department, stated this is the last of three requests and reviewed the accesses on the 138 -acre low density residential property. She entered the favorable recommendation from the Planning Commission into the record and noted nine referrals were received, with only one entity indicating concerns. Ms. Mika stated the applicant and his representative are present and noted 415 units with 1037 people are proposed for the area. Responding to questions from Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Ms. Mika stated ten acres with a home site were originally excluded; however, it is now included, which makes the parcel 148 acres. She reiterated staff has no concerns and the request is contiguous with the other six requests and consistent with the neighborhood/area meetings and requests. Marvin Dyer, representing George and Johnny Mayeda, agreed with the Planning Commission and other entities and stated they are also petitioning for inclusion in the St. Vrain District. Commissioner Kirkmeyer reminded Mr. Dyer that the ordinance is not effective until November 7, 1995. No public testimony was offered. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve said ordinance on first reading, and Commissioner Webster seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
