PLANNING:

She stated Recorded Exemption #2494 was approved by the Board on August 9, 1999, which requires
this request to come back before the Board. Ms. Chester stated the plat has not been recorded; staff had
originally proposed Lot A be located in the southwest corner, as now requested; and the proposed lot will
be accessed from Weld County Road 66. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Ms. Chester stated
the Conditions of Approval for Recorded Exemption#2494 do not require the applicant to eliminate any
of the existing accesses; however, Condition C requires a joint access from Weld County Road 66 north
to Lot A. Tomm Owens, applicant, stated currently there are three accesses on Weld County Road 66.
He stated staff did recommend that Lot A be located in the southwest corner; however, he felt it would be
better to locate it where the old homestead exists. Mr. Owens explained since that time, the property line
has been adjusted and the joint easement now encroaches on the neighbor's property. In response to
Chair Hall, Mr. Owens stated he has no objection to closing the middle access. Commissioner Kirkmeyer
moved to approve said request to change the location of Lot A of Recorded Exemption #2494, with
Conditions allowing for only one legal access per lot. Commissioner Baxter seconded the motion, which
carried unanimously.
