She stated commercial vehicles will not be allowed on the site, and dog breed and weight will be restricted and enforced for guests with pets. She relayed the applicant is currently in violation, under CCV23-00191, initiated due to the presence of a tiny home parking on the site without the necessary Weld County Zoning and Building Permits; however, approval of this request will correct the violation. She described the adjacent properties and uses, and shared Notice was sent pL(ER/MN/DA/KR/KW) 07/3oO4 2024-1458 PL2912 HEARING CERTIFICATION - TIRIEL AND BRENDA BASSETT (USR24-0007) PAGE 2 to four (4) surrounding property owners (SPOs), and no communication was received back. Ms. Aungst shared the site is located within the Coordinated Planning Agreement area of the City of Fort Lupton, and the Towns of Firestone, Mead, and Platteville, thus Notices of Inquiry (NOI) were sent but the responses expressed no annexation interests. She shared the site is also located within the Urban Growth Boundary and the three (3) mile referral area of the City of Fort Lupton and the Towns of Firestone, Mead, and Platteville, and the Town of Platteville's Comprehensive Plan is intended to encourage the sustainability of the regional agricultural and energy economy, discourage leap -frog development and ensure lands develop in a systematic and cost-conscious manner.

In response to Chair Ross, Ms. Aungst confirmed the site will need to be graded to provide drives for the parking spaces of the tiny homes, and for vehicles to drive around the tiny homes, explaining a grading permit will likely be unnecessary. In response to Commissioner Freeman, Ms. Aungst explained working professionals will be the typical guest. Mike McRoberts, Planning Services - Development Review, explained a Road Maintenance Agreement is requested due to the possibility of rental to campers on a weekly or monthly basis, which would increase traffic. Lauren Light, Department of Public Health and Environment, stated the existing residence is served by the Central Weld County Water District, with a septic system permitted to service the two (2) existing residences. She explained the tiny homes will also be served by the Central Weld County Water District, and a new septic system will be installed; however, the application will need to be amended to include three (3) tiny homes.

In response to Commissioner James, Ms. Light explained an easement will be required if one of the lots is sold, and Ms. Aungst added the campground address will be utilized and lot spaces will be identified for emergency response vehicles, in the event of an emergency. Tiriel and Brenda Bassett, applicants, stated they have not previously communicated with any of the Commissioners regarding this request, narrated a PowerPoint presentation, and stated the bulk of the septic system will be on one lot. In response to Commissioner Saine, Mr. McRoberts explained the site does not currently qualify for Exception 12, Chapter 8-11-40-I, since recycled asphalt has an impervious value of 75 percent, whereas road base or gravel has an impervious value of 40 percent. Mr. Bassett stated they intend to remove the crushed asphalt and replace it with gravel or road base to increase the imperviousness, to allow for qualification of the exception. In response to Commissioner Saine, Mr. McRoberts stated the applicant could 2024-1458 PL2912 HEARING CERTIFICATION - TIRIEL AND BRENDA BASSETT (USR24-0007) PAGE 3 propose a variance request, and they are working with an Engineer to come up with a solution to meet an exception.

El No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. Ms. Bassett indicated they have reviewed the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards and requested an exception to the length of stay being limited to six months or 180 days, although Ms. McDougal explained a Temporary Use, as defined in the Weld County Code, Section 23-1-90, is not more than six (6) months.
