JONES AND MABLE PITTMAN WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, pursuant to Colorado statute and the Weld County Home Rule Charter, is vested with the authority of administering the affairs of Weld County, Colorado, and WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners held a public hearing on the 25th day of September, 1996, at the hour of 10:00 a.m. in the Chambers of the Board for the purpose of hearing the application of Rolland T. Jones and Mable Pittman, 19273 197th Way, Hudson, Colorado 80642, for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit#1122 for an agricultural service establishment (auction facility) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District on the following described real estate, to-wit: Lots 9 and 12 in Vantage Acres Subdivision, Third Filing Located in part of the S1/2 of Section 17, Township 1 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado WHEREAS, Rolland Jones, said applicant, was present at said hearing, and WHEREAS, Section 24.4.2 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance provides standards for review of said Special Review Permit, and WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners heard all of the testimony and statements of those present, studied the request of the applicant and the recommendations of the Weld County Planning Commission and all of the exhibits and evidence presented in this matter and, having been fully informed, finds that this request shall be denied for the following reasons: 1. It is the opinion of the Board of County Commissioners that the applicant has not shown compliance with Section 24.4.2 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance as follows: e .' PLC Pall//L; Jones/Pin/7w 961746 PL1045 SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT#1122 - JONES AND PITTMAN PAGE 2 a. This proposal is not consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan, as amended, Agricultural Goals. Agricultural Goal 2 states: "Allow commercial and industrial uses which are directly related to or dependent upon agriculture to locate within Agricultural Zoning when the impact to surrounding properties is minimal, and where adequate services and infrastructure are available." The impacts to surrounding properties by the proposed agricultural service establishment (auction facility) is not minimal. This property under consideration and the surrounding area affected by this proposal is an agricultural zoned subdivision with residential type uses. The proposal would add substantial traffic (300 to 400 vehicles going to and from the auction) and dust to the area not only on the days of the auction (up to 6 auctions per year), but would also generate additional traffic and dust when items are brought to the area for the sale and when the items that are sold are removed after the sale. Additionally, the visual and noise impacts created by the traffic, the normal everyday use of the auction facility (delivering equipment, parking, equipment repair and preparation), and the auction itself do not appear to be minimal to the surrounding properties. Additional impacts to the surrounding properties were expressed by the Hudson Fire Protection District in its Referral Response dated July 11, 1996. The District had concerns about congestion on the roads which could interfere with emergency vehicle access and that service demands could impact its resources. b. The uses which could be permitted by this Special Review Permit do not appear to be compatible with existing and future surrounding land uses. The traffic, parking, dust, noise, (see the Memorandum dated July 22, 1996, from Don Carroll, Weld County Public Works Department) and visual impacts from the proposed agricultural service establishment (auction facility) do not appear to be compatible with existing surrounding land use (an agricultural zoned subdivision with 48 rural residences and 12 vacant lots) and the potential for additional rural residences in the future when existing vacant lots are developed. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, that the application of Rolland T. Jones and Mable Pittman for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit#1122 for on the hereinabove described parcel of land be, and hereby is, denied for the herein above stated reasons. 961746 PL1045 SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT#1122 - JONES AND PITTMAN PAGE 3 The above and foregoing Resolution was, on motion duly made and seconded, adopted by the following vote on the 25th day of September, A.D., 1996.
