TO: Board of County Commissioners Militia ,_•,!.1' FROM: Adria Schiel,Assistant County Attorney AIL i; If,; L--:= '4 DATE: November 20,2023 1 J , SUBJECT: Special Assessment Certifications for Zoning and ,* ill b "`- Building Violations. i'''.:01itrt-14:A As you know,we periodically request your certification of certain civil penalties as special assessments to be collected along with property taxes.All these requests are based upon orders issued from the Weld County Court after internal review by the Department of Planning Services and the County Attorney's Office.In most cases,the property owner admits that there is a violation of the Weld County Code,agrees to pay an initial fine,and also agrees to a plan with deadlines to fix the issue.This plan becomes an order of the court.Even after the deadlines pass,staff works with property owners who are making good faith efforts to fix the problem and does not ask the court to enforce the agreement by entering a daily penalty order.If the deadlines pass and no significant progress is made,then the County Attorney asks the court for a hearing where we prove that the violation still exists,and the property owner hasn't done what they agreed to do.In other cases,the daily penalty was ordered after the County proved the violation to the court at trial,or the property owner refused to engage with the court process and a default judgement was issued.Once the property owner fixes the problem and has paid the initial fine,Planning Services closes the violation,and the County Attorney files a motion with the court to waive any penalties not certified to the Treasurer and dismiss the case. Per Weld County Code section 23-10-40(A),any penalties not paid within 30 days may be certified to the County Treasurer as a special assessment.

Case Number:20-C-31602 PORFIRIO FLORES and LUCINA FLORES, Division:C Defendants. ORDER TO LIFT STAY AND IMPOSE DAILY PENALTIES This matter came before the Court on August 4,2021 for an evidentiary hearing(the Stipulation Review Hearing),and again on September 13,2021 for a non-evidentiary review hearing (the"Status Review Hearing").At the Stipulation Review Hearing,Plaintiff was represented by Assistant Weld County Attorney Gabriel Kalousek.At the Status Review Hearing,Plaintiff was represented by Assistant Weld County Attorney Bob Choate.Defendant Lucina Flores appeared pro se at both hearings.After the Stipulation Review Hearing,the Court made findings and granted the Plaintiff's requested relief,ordering the imposition of a$25 daily penalty,but stayed the Plaintiff from taking any action to collect the penalty for 30 days.After the Status Review Hearing,upon hearing Plaintiff's request to lift the stay,and noting Defendant's lack of objection,the Court hereby lifts the stay of collection. For purposes of the Order Imposing Daily Penalties,the Court makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law: 1. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter and the parties herein. This is an action to enforce zoning violations within the unincorporated area of Weld County pursuant to C.R.S.§30-28-124.5 and Weld County Code(WCC)§23-10-40.Defendant was properly served on March 27,2020.Defendant consented to the Court's jurisdiction and entered into a stipulation on December 7,2020,which was approved and ordered by the Court on April 9,2020. The Court takes judicial notice of the stipulation. 2. Defendant owns and occupies the property located 112 Grace Avenue,Milliken,Colorado, 80543,in unincorporated Weld County(the"Property").The Property is zoned(A)Agricultural. 3. By stipulation,Defendants agreed that the Property was in violation of the Weld County Zoning Code due to the presence of an unpermitted accessory structure exceeding lot coverage requirements,as well as the presence of more animal units than are permitted on the property. 4. The Court finds that the property is still being used in violation of the Weld County Zoning Code,and further that the defendants have materially breached the stipulation.By stipulation,the defendants agreed to submit a demolition permit application,reduce the animal units on site,and allow the County's zoning compliance officer to inspect thereafter.As described in the testimony of zoning compliance officer Hannah Dutrow,these action items have not occurred. 5. The Defendant agreed to remedy the violations on the property as set forth in the stipulation,but has failed to do so.The Court finds that Plaintiff has proven by a preponderance of evidence that the property is in violation of the Weld County Code and that the defendants have materially breached the stipulation. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED,ADJUDGED AND DECREED: 6. A$25.00 per day penalty is ordered due to the continued violation,as stipulated by the parties. The penalty began on August 4,2021 and will continued until further order of this Court.The stay of collection previously ordered by the court is hereby lifted.
