He confirmed a 15 -foot utility easement will be added and the applicant has provided the utility providers' signatures under separate cover, which is acceptable to the Utility Advisory Committee; therefore, he suggested the following changes to Condition of Approval #2b: delete the language "placed on the plat and" and add the language "and recorded with the plat" after " ... border of Lot 21" and before "as approved by the ..." Bruce Barker, County Attorney, noted the applicant may request a continuance since there are only four Board members present. Chairman Hall clarified, in the case of a tie vote, the record could also be reviewed by Commissioner Kirkmeyer. Tom Francis stated he is the son of Jane Carlson, applicant, and would like to proceed today. He explained the primary interest is to acquire a recorded exemption on the ten -acre, nonproductive parcel, since Ms. Carlson is retiring. Mr. Francis stated Duane and Kimberly Ameling, co -applicants and owners of Lot 21, would like to acquire two additional acres to provide more privacy for their residence; therefore, the Planning Department staff suggested this resubdivision process to adjust the lot lines prior to proceeding with the recorded exemption.

He noted Public Works requested to meet with the applicant prior to recording the plat to establish an access for Lot A, with no additional accesses to be granted. Mr. Goranson stated further concerns with the number of recorded exemptions and building sites in the immediate area and consistency with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. He reviewed the Conditions of Approval and noted the applicant must amend USR #1057 for the feedlot to show a change in the boundary of the Permit. Mr. Goranson also referred to letters from Weld Laboratories, Inc., and Don Carlson, P.E., concerning soils and runoff, respectively, and answered questions from the Board concerning previous recorded exemptions in the area and property boundaries. (Changed to Tape #95-46.) Chairman Hall explained, since only four Commissioners are present, the applicant may request a continuance or, in the event of a tie vote, Commissioner Kirkmeyer would review the record and cast the deciding vote. Tom Collins represented the applicant and requested the Board proceed today. Responding to questions from the Board, Mr. Collins referred to staffs letter of recommendation and clarified Mr. Wardlaw is planning to retire and turn the farm over to his sons while living on the farm. He further clarified Lot A will be sold, with irrigation water, as nonproductive land for a single-family dwelling to provide for expansion of equipment and improvements; however, there is no need to provide housing for family or employees at this time. Mr. Collins also clarified the request fits into the area and noted the number of surrounding houses. Responding to further questions, Mr. Collins confirmed Mr. Wardlaw has owned the property for about fifteen years and actually has added to it since the purchase. He stated part of Lot A is seep and the soil has high salt and pH levels, making it difficult to grow anything but alfalfa. He suggested the access Minutes, November 15, 1995 952351 Page 3 BC0016 be on Weld County Road 57, which dead ends, and indicated the piping of the irrigation water which will be deeded by certificate. Mr. Barker suggested the conveyance of irrigation water for the benefit of Lot A be required as a Condition of Approval. In response to further questions from the Board, Mr. Collins stated the most nonproductive area of Lot A is the most northern portion and confirmed he does not have a buyer for certain. Further discussion ensued concerning accesses, and Mr. Barker read language into the record for Conditions of Approval concerning the irrigation water for Lot A and limiting the number of accesses to one for Lot A. Mr. Goranson suggested the arm on the north end of the property line for Lot A be included in Lot B rather than in Lot A, and the west boundary of Lot A be moved to the east. Mr. Barker concurred, and Mr. Collins confirmed the arm is just a farm access. Mr. Wardlaw clarified the arm was created by the previous owner and once was the only ingress to Lot B. After discussion, Mr. Barker clarified the north/south property line between Lots A and B would be moved to the east to correspond with the property line of Parcel #077, and the arm would be included in Lot B. Mr. Collins confirmed all Conditions of Approval are acceptable, and no public testimony was offered. Commissioner Harbert moved to approve RE #1812 for Robert Wardlaw, with the Conditions of Approval as amended and added concerning the irrigation water and the lot line adjustment. Commissioner Webster seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent agenda. There were no ordinances.
