Shortly after the first of the year, a building permit was requested for a residence on proposed Lot A of RE-1836 from Chuck and Kari Austin. It was verified with A. Bruce Johnson who is representative/agent of the application that the property, totalling approximately 170 acres, had gone through a change in ownership. Mr. Ehrlich sold the property to J. Gale Moody, who then sold it to the Austins. At this point, Mr. Johnson was instructed by staff to have the new owners submit a letter of intent to continue on with the recorded exemptions if it was also their desire to divide both parcels. This was done; a copy of the written documentation is in your packets. There are no residences on the 85 acre parcel represented by RE-1836. Therefore, the Austins are moving forward with their plan to build on the southeast corner as soon as a Flood Hazard Development Permit and building permit are approved by the Planning Department. SERVICE,TEAMWORK INTEGRITY,QUALITY 960113 iStvigo WUDe. COLORADO STAFF SUMMARY Case Number: RE-1837 Planner: Gloria Dunn Applicant's Name: Reuben Ehrlich/Chuck & Kari Austin Legal Description of Property: Part of the E2 of Section 4, T6N, R65W Location: West of Weld County Road 43 and north of Weld County Road 72 Zone District: Agricultural Proposed Use: Lot B: irrigated farmground, rural residence; Lot A: rural residence No existing residences on site Total Number of Acres: 85 acres: Lot A: 3 acres; Lot B: 82 acres Proposed Water Supply: North Weld County Water District Proposed Sewer: Individual septic systems for both lots Access: Two from Weld County Road 72; one is shared by proposed Lots A & B, the other serves Lot B only. Soil Classifications: #1, 31--identified as prime if irrigated with an adequate supply of water Referral responses: West Greeley Soil Conservation District has concerns in the development of prime agricultural ground. Although proposed Lot A is not irrigated by the pivot sprinkler, it is presently used for growing crops. 960113 STAFF RECOMMENDATION RE-1837 Reuben Ehrlich/Chuck & Kari Austin The Department of Planning Services' staff recommends denial for the following reasons: 1) The proposal does not comply with the intent of the Agricultural zone district as set forth in the Weld County Comprehensive Plan, specifically Goal 1 and Policy 1; Goal 3 and Policy 3; Goal 4, Policies 4, 4.1.2 and 4.1.4; and Goal 7. GOAL 1: "Preserve prime farmland for agricultural purposes which foster the economic health and continuance of agriculture." POLICY 1: "Agricultural zoning will be established and maintained to protect and promote the County's agricultural industry. Agricultural zoning is intended to preserve prime agricultural land and to provide areas for agricultural activities and uses dependent upon agriculture without the interference of incompatible residential, commercial, and industrial land uses." GOAL 3: "Discourage residential, commercial, and industrial development which is not located adjacent to existing incorporated municipalities." POLICY 3: "Conversion of agricultural land to residential, commercial, and industrial development will be discouraged when the subject site is located outside of a municipality's comprehensive plan area, urban growth boundary area, or I-25 Mixed Use Development area and urban development nodes. This policy is intended to promote conversion of agricultural land in an orderly manner which is in harmony with the phased growth plans of a municipality and the County. It is further intended to minimize the incompatibilities that occur between uses in the agricultural district and districts that allow urban-type uses. In addition,this policy is expected to contribute to minimizing the costs to Weld County taxpayers of providing additional public services in rural areas for uses that require services on an urban level." GOAL 4: "Provide a mechanism for the division of land which is agriculturally zoned. The intent of this goal should be to maintain and enhance the highest level of agricultural productivity in Weld County." POLICY 4: "Applications for the division of land which is zoned agricultural shall be reviewed in accordance with all potential impacts of the division of the agricultural community. The criterian shall include but not be limited to:" 960113 POLICY 4.1.2: "Agricultural productiveness of the site" POLICY 4.1.4: "The level of development associated with the site" GOAL 7: "Protect agricultural land from encroachment by those urban uses which hinder the operational efficiency and productivity of the agricultural uses." 2) The proposal is not consistent with Sections 1.3.1, 1.3.10 and 1.3.15 contained in the Statement of Purpose, Weld County Subdivision Ordinance. "The purpose of this Ordinance is to achieve orderly and efficient development by..." Section 1.3.1: "Assisting orderly and integrated development" Section 1.3.10: "Preserving agricultural land and promoting its most productive agrarian use" Section 1.3.15: "Restricting or regulating building in flood hazard overlay district areas, shorelands, areas covered by poor soils, or in areas poorly suited for building or construction." The cumulative impact of these two recorded exemptions, if granted, and the two existing in the southwest quarter(directly west) appear to evade the intent of the recorded exemption process. The potential for four additional residences in the SE4, where two are now allowed as a use by right, does not serve to enhance the agricultural viability of this immediate area. The site is not within the Urban Growth Boundary or planning area of the Town of Eaton, but approximately 1 1/2 miles to the east. This entire acreage is located in the 100 year floodplain, with the exception of the northwest corner. Allowing residential development to take place where the approval of multiple Flood Hazard Development permits is required presents safety concerns. Proposed Lot A is identified as prime farmground when irrigated with an adequate supply of water. Runoff from the pivot sprinkler is sufficient to allow Mr. Ehrlich to use this corner for crop production, which is its present use. The Comprehensive Plan states that the highest level of agricultural productivity should be maintained and enhanced. The potential level of development, with the granting of RE-1836 and RE-1837, conflicts with the intent of the Agricultural zone district. 960113 RECORDED EXEMPTION CRITERIA CHECKLIST Staff Use 1.

Dunn: This letter is to serve as notice to you and the Department of Planning that we intend to continue the recorded exemption process started by Reuben Ehrlich for the E1/2SE1/4 and the W1/2SE1/4 of Section 4, Township 6 North, Range 65 West of the 6th .P.M. , Weld County, Colorado . These two parcels are also known to you as RE 1836 and RE 1837 . As you requested, I have attached an Application for Recorded Exemption originally signed by Reuben Ehrlich and now also signed by us . Also, you inquired about the size of the land parcels east and west of the Lone Tree Creek. Please see the map attached which shows the respective acreage and dimensions . It is our intent that the building site should be west of the creek in the same general area of the old homestead. We would like to build on Lot B west of the existing shed and plan to haul fill dirt onto the site to elevate it to a level higher than the existing shed. The attached well test establishes that the static water level is significantly lower than is necessary for safe septic operations . Larry Intermill will be submitting an opinion regarding the flood plain impact on our building permit . I suggest we extend the hearing date before the Commissioners to January 24, 1996, to allow time to process the foregoing. If we can be of any further assistance, please contact us or Bruce Johnson, 801 8th St . , #220, Greeley, CO 80631, 356-6110, who is our agent in this matter.

Signature: Owner or Authorized Agent Reuben Ehrlich 960113 RECORDED EXEMPTION QUESTIONNAIRE 1. Explain the reason for the proposed recorded exemption and how each proposed lot will be used. The reason for the proposed recorded exemption is to sell the wasteland created by the "corner centerpivot sprinkler" . This wasteland corner is in the SW corner of the SE1/4 corner of Section 4, Township 6 North, Range 65 West . This waste corner is the best suited as a rural residence . The remainder of the applicant ' s land shall be used as farmland irrigated by the existing centerpivot . The split and resulting sale will provide money to clean up the waste area and reduce debt . This process will NOT change the net acres farmed and remove the hassle of keeping the corner free of weeds . 2 . Describe the location, size and present use of the area where each proposed lot will be created. Proposed Lot A of this application is 1/2 mile west of the intersection of WCR 72 and WCR 43 (southwest corner of the property) . It will be approximately 500 ' north and 500 ' east from the north/south 1/2 section line in a triangle shape with the hypotenuse being an almost straight line with one jog in the center. The lot shall be approximately 3 + acres . This land has been used as waste . Proposed Lot B of this application shall be the remainder of the W1/2SE1/4 and strip of land along the south end of the W1/2 of the NE1/4 of said Section 4 and shall consist of 82 + acres . It has been used as irrigated farmland, irrigation ditches and roads . 3 . Explain how the proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan and any adopted municipal plan, if applicable. This proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan which allows for recorded exemptions via Subdivision Ordinance 173 and as amended in Ordnance 173-A effective August 10, 1993 . This wasteland is allowed to be split to create a lot for a single-family residential building site. Section 11 .2 explains the exemptions and is in compliance with Section 11 . 8 . This land does not lie within 3 miles of any town. Lot A will become a rural residence and the remainder will remain irrigated farmland (agriculture) which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Exemptions as described in Section 11 . 2, 11 . 2 . 1, 11 . 8 in its entirety. There is not an applicable adopted municipal plan which pertains to subject lands nor are they within any city or town limits . 4. Explain how the uses permitted will be compatible with existing uses surrounding the proposed recorded exemption. 960113 The neighborhood is primarily irrigaged farmland with farmsteads . The property to the north is an irrigated farm with two (2) residences . The land to the east is irrigated farmland; and to the south is irrigated farmland and two (2) residence; and to the west is irrigated farmland and rural residence. 5 . Explain how the proposal is consistent with the intent of the zoning district it is located within. This proposed Lot A and Lot B is in the agricultural district which allows lot sizes greater than one (1) acre, and this application complies . Historic and proposed uses are the same (agriculture) . A zoning change is not applicable nor desirable at this time . The land between subject land and the Town of Eaton is agriculturally zoned. 6. Explain how the proposal is consistent with efficient and orderly development. The proposed Recorded Exemption is not part of an approved Recorded Exemption within the past five (5) years (actually never) . The proposed is not part of an approved subdivision or recorded subdivision plat or unincorporated community and does not evade the requirements and statements of purposes as set forth in Section 1 . 3 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance . 7. Explain how adequate provision for the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County will be accomplished. The water supply for proposed Lot A and Lot B has North Weld County Water District water available (see letter included in this application package) . Its quality, quantity and dependability is proven. Lot A and Lot B shall comply with the Weld County Health Department Individual Sewage Disposal System (ISDS) permit requirements . A 30-foot legal joint access exists for both proposed Lot A and Lot B, together with the E1/2SW1/4 of Section 4, all from Weld County Road 72 . This proposed Recorded Exemption application complies with the Weld County Zoning Ordinances Section 50 Overlay District Regulations . It is in the Eaton airport location, approach, transitional, horizontal or conical zones . Geologic hazard layers do not appear present nor in an overlay. Neither Lot A nor Lot B are in a flood plain. Sufficient drainage is available to handle rainwater through normal ditches and percolation present on the subject property. No Planned Unit Development District exists for subject property. 960113 Existing rights-of-way are present for the existing county roads servicing said properties . If wider reservations are required by Weld County Road Department, they will be noted on the mylar plot which will be recorded. Utility rights-of-ways are also present along subject property for electricity, and telephone . The economic welfare of the community will be enhanced by planned cleanup, owner-occupied buildings, and through more tax revenue . 960113 WI Sg.4 SedJovl '/ T w V.p (O ,e9 b-S- Ce n-+e r 7 ) 4,-.l:CiA 0 NE fl k)cr9;via -1-0szw \! -2,-.):..t.

Sincerely, ben hrlich Attachments Application Transamerica Title Company Certificate of Conveyance and deed North Weld Water District Letter Recorded Exemption Questionnaire Map Check for application fee 960113 RECORDED EXEMPTION QUESTIONNAIRE RE 1837 1. Water Supply Statement. The original application included the North Weld County Water District letter of service for both Lots A and B. Lot B will continue to be irrigated as in the past by the existing center pivot with water supplied by irrigation wells and Larimer and Weld (Eaton Ditch) Irrigation water. Lot A has not been irrigated for the past 10 plus years since the center pivot was installed. At that time, more acres were placed under irrigation than pervious because of the removal of roads, ditches, waste areas, homesteads, etc. Thus, Lot A will not have any formal irrigation water, but will receive limited run off from the center pivot irrigated field as in the past. This is the reason a more expensive corner center pivot was used to reduce the 8+ acre corner to 3+ acres. 2. Sewage Disposal. As stated in the original application an ISDS will be used on both Lot A and Lot B in compliance with the Weld County Health Department. 3. Proposed Use of the Property. Lot B will remain an irrigated farm. Lot A will probably become a rural residence. Both are compatible with the Agricultural Zone District. No additional land will be removed from production. The soil is Class II. 4. Reason. The original application stated the reason for this Recorded Exemption Application was to sell the waste corner created by the center pivot. This would reduce the nuisance to the farmer and also reduce debt. 5. Location, Size and Use. Location, shape and size are displayed on the plot map. The use was explained in paragraph three above. 6. Municipal Plan Consistency. The original questionnaire stated that this application does not fall into a municipal plan or intergovernmental agreement. However, it is close to three miles to the Town of Eaton and Eaton has no objection. 7. Surrounding Land Use. The original questionnaire described the surrounding land use as being the same as this proposed Lot A and Lot B. The use is irrigated farmland and rural residences. 8. District Intent. This application does not remove prime irrigated farmland from production. Lot B will remain as it always was - agriculture (irrigated farmland). The waste area will become Lot A and become useful as a rural residence which is allowable in the agriculture district. 9. Subdivision Ordinance Section 1.3. (a) The Recorded Exemption process is orderly and integrated into the planning process while accomplishing one's private rights to increase agricultural efficiencies and productivity, i.e., efficient center pivots, reduced maintenance (weed control on corner) and allowing debt reduction through the sale of nonproductive land. 960113 (b) Compliance with Health Department septic regulations, controlled access, reduction in weed areas, and adding to rural living all promote health, safety and general welfare of the residents of Weld County. (c) The area is outside municipal subdivisions and is allowable in the county under this Recorded Exemption process. (d) The Town of Eaton has been contacted and has no objection tothis application. (e) This is not a subdivision and its design enhances the agriculture district by its location. (f) The safeguards are limited and controlled access. The lot location is as far removed from the agriculture activity as possible and "clusters" new homes, when desired, near existing homes. (g) The recorded exemption process is a uniform process. (h) There is no wooded area located in the neighborhood. (i) As described in this application, quality of life and agricultural production both win with this proposal. (j) The irrigation water will remain with the irrigated farm land as historically used. Irrigated land is not dried up. (k) Natural vegetation was removed from this entire parcel before the turn of the century. The agricultural production will remain and provide the normal seasons of farming. (1) This land is very flat and with the existing soil types water erosions nil. Wind erosion will be controlled by the farming practices allowable by the Consolidated Farm Services. (m) Flood control was not an issue historically and is not a factor for either Lot A or Lot B. (n) The soil type at this site is conducive to building. (o) Terrain and soil type nearly eliminate any risk from land or mud slides. (p) Discussion on schools and parks are not appropriate for this application. 960113 7-18-95 RECORDED EXEMPTION CRITERIA 1Z `L /g3 7 L<l L S£% Sc_.c. y EXAMPLES Staff Use /�}� �p A� Yes No 1.

The district, as always, regrets the development of prime agricultural land. Our inspection of the proposed exemption at the location listed on the application shows a new, unoccupied home on the site. We normally would have no objections to the exemption from a soils or conservation standpoint, but we are concerned about the site being developed in anticipation of an exemption being granted. We question the purpose of having a review process if development can proceed without approval.
