Ben Patton, Department of Planning Services, gave a brief description of the
location of the site, which is approximately 130 acres in size. He stated the
property is designated as irrigated prime farm land and the applicant is

residences on the site. He stated staff has concerns with the application as
submitted, and displayed staff's recommendation for dividing the property. In
response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, he stated staffs main concern is with the
unusually large size of the smaller parcel.
Charles Auer, co-applicant, stated he is a thirty-year resident of this area, and
added he and his son purchased this property after discussing the development
options with the Department of Planning Services.
Troy Auer, co-applicant, stated he and his father researched the development
options prior to purchasing the property and the application meets by Weld
County standards. He stated the smaller lot is less than thirty-five acres; there
has not been a Recorded Exemption on this site for over ten years; and staff's
proposal does not provide enough land for him to raise livestock, as well as
raise an alfalfa crop for feed. Troy Auer stated there are water rights which will
remain with the property; the property is currently sharecropped; and he and his
father work full-time, however, he can maintain 34 acres; and the remaining 95
acres will remain in agricultural production. Troy Auer displayed a drawing of
the property and, in response to Chair Hall, Troy Auer reiterated there are no
residences on the property at this time. He stated approximately four or five
acres will be used for his home, barn, and arena; the remaining thirty acres will
remain in agricultural use; and the site is located approximately 1 mile from
Weld Central High School. He indicated the proposed location of the
residences. In response to Commissioner Geile, Troy Auer stated the
northwestern portion of the section was split off May 14, 1975. Mr. Barker
explained the purpose of a conservation easement. Following Mr. Barker's
explanation,Troy Auer indicated he misunderstood the application question and
has no objection to placing a conservation easement on the property.
Responding to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Troy Auer stated he has reviewed the
Conditions of Approval and agrees with them with the exception of Condition
#2.F.6. Mr. Barker stated this Condition does not apply and should be deleted;
however, he suggested including the Right To Farm Covenant. Mr. Patton
stated that although this site is completely surrounded by agricultural uses, he
has no objection to including the Right To Farm Covenant on the plat. In
response to Commissioner Baxter,Charles Auer stated there is adequate water
for the property if it is planted with the appropriate crops. Troy Auer reiterated
the water shares must remain with the land and cannot be sold. There was no
public testimony concerning this matter.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated that although the size of Lot A is unusual, it
does meet the necessary requirements, and she moved to approve Recorded
Exemption #2524 with the deletion of Condition of Approval #2.F.6.

applicants on their display, and for presenting an organized plan which will
