County Commissioners for the purpose of hearing testimony relating to said violation, and
WHEREAS, Francisco F. Meza, property owner, was present at said hearing and spoke
through an interpreter, and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners deems it advisable to delay referral of said

MEMORANDUM
COLORADO
TO: Trevor Jiricek July 24, 1995
From: Julie Chester, Zoning Inspector
SUBJECT: VI -2196, Francisco Meza
This property located at 2385 49th Street has a violation for a non-commercial junkyard and has
more animal units than allowed (they have 7.3 animal units, should have 2 animal units). When
I arrived at the property on July 21, 1995 to inspect the property there was one adult male
outside and when I came onto the property, at least five more people came out of the house
located on the property. It does appear that they are all living in the house. The initial
complaint came from the Sheriffs department that people were living in the house with no
electricity, no gas, no water and an open and exposed septic system. In my opinion, the
animals could be a health hazard also. There are thirteen pigs all in a very small enclosed pen
at the back of the property, seven goats, three horses, five dogs and fifty chickens. There is a
lot of feces on this small lot from all these animals.
If you have any questions feel free to call me. The Sheriffs department has been to the
property with me twice and would be able to answer any questions also.

Dear Mr. Meza:
The property referenced above remains in violation of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. I
-have scheduled a meeting with the Board of County Commissioners on August 8, 1995 at

place in the County Commissioners' Hearing Room, first floor, Weld County Centennial Center,
915 Tenth Street, Greeley, Colorado. It is recommended that you or a representative be in
attendance to answer any questions the Board of County Commissioners might have about the

The Department of Planning Services' staff will be recommending that the Board of County
Commissioners authorize the County Attorney to proceed with legal action to remedy the
violation. Our records indicate that you were made aware of the nature of the violation, the
action necessary to correct the violation, and that you were given sufficient time to remedy the
violation. The property will be reinspected August 7, 1995.

DATE OF INSPECTION: July 21, 1995
CASE NUMBER: VI -2196
The property was inspected to determine compliance with section 31.2, 31.3.9 and 31.5.4 of the
Weld County Zoning Ordinance. The property is not in compliance at this time.
There is still a non-commercial junkyard located on the property consisting of several derelict
vehicles, a camper with expired license plates and lots of miscellaneous junk and trash. There
are still more animals than allowed. There were thirteen pigs (three adults and 10 baby pigs),
sevengoats, three horses and approximately 50 chickens and five dogs. Only two animal units
are allowed on this property and at this time there are 7.3 units which has increased since the first
inspection. To bring the property into compliance the non-commercial junkyard must be
removed and 5.3 animal units must be removed from the property.
A sheriffs officer accompanied me onto the property. There were several people there, but most
of them did not speak English. There were two teenagers there that spoke a little English and we
attempted to communicate with them. We told them what needed to be done and that if they
wanted to come down to the Department of Planning, there would be someone in the office that
could interpret for them.

Dear Mr. Meza:
It has come to the attention of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the uses on the
above described property may not be in compliance with the Weld County Zoning Ordinance.
The potential noncompliance with the zoning ordinance is a non-commercial junkyard consisting
of derelict vehicles and miscellaneous junk and too many animal units per lot size located on the
property.
Please call me within five working days of the date of this letter to review the concerns with me.
Sincerely,
