property away from the existing communities . They would like
to comply with the regulations and rules in developing the area
as a Planned Unit Development. In their earlier discussions with
Mr . Lorenson , they were told this type of development did not
meet the Land Use Policy approved by the Planning Commission . Mr .
Stoby stated they had bought the property with a residential com-
munity in mind providing the amenities that would go with a over-
all concept of the residential community of the highest quality .
It has been revised because they found a Planned Unit Development
would be more suitable . They also have an Estate planned sub-
division they could present . Mr . Bowles stated it amounts to a
scattered subdivision outside of existing service areas , police ,
fire , etc . Previous subdivisions approved in scattered areas have
proven that there are many complaints because these services are
not immediately available . He felt there is no practical reason

be . Mr . Watson explained the policy adopted by the Planning Com-
mission .

THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
WELD COUNTY, COLORADO
BY: ANN SPOMER
COUNTY CLERK AND RECORDER
AND CLERK TO THE BOARD
DATED: OCTOBER 13, 1971

The committee appointed by the Ag. Council to work on the revision of the
Weld County A Zone with the weld County Planning Director and the Weld County
Planning Commission makes the following report and recommendations.
Since we were not consulted in writing the revisions but handed a revised
copy for our inspection and comments this document as written is not a joint
effort in which the Ag. Council participated. Therefore on behalf of the Ag.
Council we make the following general recommendations and several specific
recommended changes.
1. In the A Zone we can see no reason to have any size limitations as to
acres per house. We feel that to preserve prime agricultural land if any housing
except that provided in the regulations is allowed the change should be made to
AR Zone. Then in the AR Zone a lot size minimum of 1 (one) lore should be allowed
providing soil analysis warrants no increase in future leech field requirements
or if a sewer district is pending. Lot size to be 2 acres if soil analysis
determines possible increase needed in leech field. These zones will limit:
themselves unless domestic water and sewage systems are developed. The trend
for anyone moving to a rural area is to own horses and other livestock. This
will tend once again to help keep lot size larger. Agriculture does not feel
it to be in anyones best interest to have either a lot of small part time
farmers or a lot of untended acres growing up in weeds and making insect breeding
grounds.
In regard to Public Utilities going to conditional use these projects after
completion should be placed on a permanent status. The past policy of the
Utilities of "go where we please when we please" needs to be regulated to a
reasonable basis as to best location, type of structures, time of construction
and paying for crop damages.
3. As representatives of agriculture we spangly urge that all regulations
limiting distances of feed lots and other uses to 2,640 feet (i mile) to existing
residences should also apply equally to any new construction of residences.
This is needed especially to protect those people engaged in production of meat,
milk, and eggs.
4. In regard to mobile homes, if a landowner in an A Zone chooses to live
in one as a permanent residence, it is discrimination to deny him that right.
5. The requiring of permits for supporting buildings and animal lots in an
A Zone is in our opinion both uninforceable and the cause of the most resentment
from agriculture. We can see no really practical purpose in these and recommend
that they be discontinued.
6. The Weld County Planning Commission's main responsibilities are in the
unincorporated areas of the county. Since these areas are agricultural we
strongly urge that a majority of these members should be from organized agri-
culture. The commission should contain individuals knowledgeable in water,
domestic water districts and soil conservation work as well as area representation.
We recommend that this be done as soon as possible and the people appointed have
agriculture as their principal livelihood.
7. We recommend that any joint board with Larimer County also contain
members of organized agriculture from Weld County.
