CONSIDER MODIFICATION TO EMS EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN: Ed
Herring, Office of Emergency Management, reviewed the six additions which
are being proposed for inclusion in the EMS Plan, which are necessary to
enable fire departments and ambulance services to apply for State EMS funds.
Responding to questions from the Board, he explained the plan was adopted
three years ago with certain goals and objectives included in the plan. He said
it is now necessary to modify the goals and objectives to fit the projects being
submitted to the State for EMS funds. Responding to Commissioner Kirkmeyer,
Mr. Herring stated these need to be added because a plan of this type requires
continual review and update, especially in the goals and objectives portion, to
reflect the current goals within the County. He also stated the addition of
Denver International Airport and the 1-25 study are recent happenings in Weld
County which could not have been addressed before. Angie Willey, Chair of the
EMS Council, explained a county-wide communications center was initially
planned; however, Captain Jack Statler, determined the project was not feasible
to complete in one year, but it should be completed in three to five years. By
making these additions to the goals and objectives, the fire departments and
ambulance services would not be left out of State funding. Larry Peterson,
Evans Fire Department, explained the project they are requesting State funds
for is an opticom system for the intersection at State Highway 85. After further
discussion, Commissioner Harbert moved to approve said modification to the
EMS Emergency Operations Plan, and Commissioner Webster seconded the
motion, which carried unanimously.

PLANNING: CONSIDER ZPAD #68 - GURNSEY (PLANNER GORANSON): Chris
Goranson, Planner, reviewed the history of this parcel and explained the reason
for this application coming before the Board is the small size of the parcel, which
is six and one-half acres. He further explained there is currently one residence
on the parcel; however, the applicant wishes to construct a stick-built home
instead of using a mobile home for the temporary permit. Mr. Goranson also
stated a medical hardship does exist in regard to the applicant's mother, and a
doctor's certificate has been received. Responding to Commissioner Harbert,
Monica Mika, Director of Planning Services, explained Weld County's definitions
are taken from the Uniform Building Code. Virginia Gurnsey, applicant, stated
she is requesting the permit to allow her to provide care for her mother. Tom
Rick, building contractor hired by the applicant, stated it would be more
appropriate to use the temporary permit on the existing dwelling while
constructing the new stick-built home. Upon completion of said home, the
existing structure could be used for the caretaker's residence until such time as
the medical hardship no longer exists. At that time, the existing home would
either be removed from the site or all utilities associated with said residence
would be disconnected. Ms. Mika suggested if the Board decides on the stated
option, Condition of Approval#6 should be added to read: "The applicant shall
either remove the temporary accessory dwelling unit from the site or disconnect
all utilities associated therewith when the temporary accessory dwelling unit is
no longer utilized as permitted by the medical hardship." After further
discussion, Bruce Barker, County Attorney, recommended several changes to
the Conditions of Approval. He stated Condition#4 should reflect the Certificate
of Compliance be returned to the Board of County Commissioners instead of the
Department of Planning Services. In Conditions #1 and #2 the words
"temporary accessory dwelling unit" should be changed to read "principal
dwelling unit". After further discussion, Commissioner Harbert moved to
approve ZPAD #68 for Virginia Gurnsey, including Conditions of Approval as
recommended by staff with changes to Conditions of Approval #1, #2, and #4,
and the addition of Condition of Approval #6. Commissioner Baxter 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.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to
and respectfully submitted by the Acting Clerk to the Board.
