Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve said minor resubdivision, and Commissioner Webster seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. CONSIDER RE #1763 - PRISTINE: Shani Eastin, Planning Department, -entered staffs recommendation with concerns into the record and reviewed the background of said request. Alvin Geist represented Pristine Investments, LLC, and reiterated the State Wildlife Division owned this site for 38 years. He stated the lake is actually owned by three parties, and the ground is nonproductive; therefore, its best use is residential. He confirmed the wetlands area was surveyed by Riverside Technology and includes one-half acre on proposed tot A and three-quarters of an acre on Lot B. There are no reservations that two additional homesites will not affect the wetlands. Mr. Geist noted the proposal will not change the character of the neighborhood and will not take away productive land. Responding to questions from the Board, Ms. Eastin and Mr. Geist referred to the wetland delineation survey map, Exhibit A for the record. Mr. Geist noted both prospective buyers want to maintain the wetlands. He also confirmed adequate water will be provided by Little Thompson Water District and fire protection will be provided by Berthoud Fire Protection District, reiterating all utility requirements will be met. He stated a common access would be possible; however, one property faces Weld County Road 4 and the -other faces Weld County Road 1. Mr. Geist stated all owners have pumping rights to the lake for irrigation, with plenty of water available. He estimated 21 or 22 of the 28 lots in the area have homes on them. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated the request does not meet the intent of the recorded exemption process, and Mr. Geist reiterated the land is nonproductive and the total acreage is more than what is needed for one homesite. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated the area has piece -meal development, which is not efficient and orderly, and there is a burden on services in the area. She reiterated the need to meet the intent of the recorded exemption process and explained the intentions of the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Geist reiterated the utilities are adequate and the land is not fit for agricultural use. Commissioner Kirkmeyer noted the land could be used as a building site at this point. No public testimony was offered. Mr. Geist confirmed all Conditions of Approval are acceptable, and Ms. Eastin noted there are five Conditions of Approval rather than four. Commissioner Webster stated he agrees this property has limited use and the proposal will not impact agriculture or cause loss of agricultural ground. He also agreed this proposal is the best use of the land and stated adequate water is available and the accesses should not affect the roads; therefore, he moved to approve RE #1763 for Pristine Investments, LLC, including the five Conditions of Approval. Commissioner Baxter seconded the motion and stated the request may not fit neatly into the recorded exemption process; however, considering the amount of existing development in the area, he feels two homes will not have much more impact than one. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she will vote against the motion and, even though she agrees with Commissioner Webster to an extent, she must remind the Board of its duties and this request does not meet Sections 11.5.3 or 11.5.4 of the Subdivision Ordinance. Bruce Barker, County Attorney, asked the Board if a Condition of Approval limiting access was necessary, and Commissioner Harbert requested the motion be amended to allow only one access per lot. Commissioners Webster and Baxter agreed to so amend the motion. Chairman Hall stated he agreed with Commissioner Webster; however, he somewhat disagreed with Commissioner Baxter. He noted the intent of the Comprehensive Plan is to protect agricultural land, which this proposal does not affect; therefore, he will vote for the motion. The motion carried four to one, with Commissioner Kirkmeyer voting nay.
