Minutes, March 8, 1995 950344 Page 2 BC0016 CONSIDER ACCEPTING PETITION AND SETTING DATES FOR PUBLICATION AND SPECIAL ELECTION RE: PROPOSED HOME RULE CHARTER AMENDMENT: Mr. Barker explained a letter was received from Suki Tsukamoto, Clerk and Recorder, stating 2,429 valid signatures were received on a petition concerning an amendment to the Home Rule Charter. A total of 2,054 signatures is necessary to require an election. If the election is conducted by mail ballot, the Secretary of State requires a Written Plan be received in her office at least 60 days prior to said election, and the election must be held 120 days after publication of same. Therefore, May 15, 1995, is the earliest date to hold said election, and July 15, 1995, is the latest possible date. Ms. Tsukamoto recommended the election be held on June 13, 1995. Kathy Seiler, Elections Department, explained date was selected as an administrative decision made because elections are usually held on the second Tuesday of the month, and June 13, 1995, is the approximate mid-point between possible dates. She also noted if the election is held by mail ballot, the ballots must be mailed out between 25 and 15 days prior to said election. Responding to the Board, Ms. Seiler explained the last special election, held in 1991, was a mail ballot election, and the cost was approximately $70,000. The last polling place election cost $96,000, and the number of registered voters is approximately the same as in 1991. Ms. Seiler estimated a mail ballot election held now will cost $75,000 to $85,000. Marvin Hopper asked the Board to accept the petition and make the requested change to the Charter, thereby eliminating the need for a special election. Mr. Barker explained the only process allowed to amend the Charter, as established by the Charter, is either by a petition signed by the appropriate number of voters or a resolution adopted by the Board submitting the proposed amendment to the qualified electors. In both instances, a vote of the people is required. In response to Artie Elmquist, Chairman Hall stated the Board is considering a mail ballot election based on cost. Commissioner Kirkmeyer also stated the turnout is usually better for a mail ballot election, being approximately 40 percent. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to schedule a special election on June 13, 1995, with the appropriate publication according to statute. Commissioner Baxter seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. CONSIDER HOLDING SPECIAL ELECTION BY MAIL BALLOT: Commissioner Harbert moved to hold said special election by mail ballot and to submit the appropriate documentation to the Secretary of State. Seconded by Commissioner Webster, the motion carried unanimously. PLANNING: CONSIDER RE#1705-DOERSCHLAG: Shani Eastin, Department of Planning Services, made this a matter of record and reviewed the staff's concerns regarding the level of development in the area. She explained proposed Lot B contains the existing home, and a new home is proposed for Lot A. Steve Doerschlag, applicant, stated his home, which is located on Weld County Road 43, is the existing home on proposed Lot B. He stated proposed Lot A is not farmable because it is not level and contains below grade soil, which would cost $5,000 to $10,000 to fill in with good soil. He stated it is a weed patch and an eyesore, with one existing metal building, and noted it cannot be irrigated for crop. Responding to questions from the Board, Mr. Doerschlag stated water could be run from Lot A to take care of the lawn, and North Weld Water District would be the water source for Lot A. He stated he would move to Lot A into a new home and retain the existing home for a family member who is nearly handicapped and will need someone living close by. Until that time, he plans to rent the house. Mr. Doerschlag presented pictures of proposed Lot A, Exhibits A through H, and stated he agrees with the conditions as written by staff. Commissioner Kirkmeyer requested an additional condition stating no additional accesses will be allowed, and Commissioner Harbert questioned Minutes, March 8, 1995 950344 Page 3 BC0016 whether an easement is necessary through Lot A for access to Lot B. In discussion, Mr. Doerschlag stated he now has three accesses, two on Road 43 and one on Road 74. He does not need the access on Road 74 to Lot B, since full access is provided by the two located on Road 43. Therefore, he would agree to no new accesses, and the easement is not necessary since Lot B has access from Road 43. Mr. Barker read the language for the additional condition, which Mr. Doerschlag agreed to accept. There was no public testimony offered concerning this matter. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve Recorded Exemption #1705 for Steve and Sandy Doerschlag, with the Conditions of Approval as written and added.
