Gentlemen:
Enclosed is a letter from Mr. & Mrs. Sprague of R.R. 2, Longmont. They are
requesting an exemption from the minimum lot size of 80 acres in order to
apply for a recorded exemption. They presently own 79 acres in the Southeast
Quarter (SE;) , Section 19, Township 2 North, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M.
I recommend you grant the variance for the following reasons :
(1 ) The land is presently being farmed and the owners indicate the
70 acres they are selling will continue to be used for agri-
cultural purposes.
(2) There does not appear to be any attempt by the applicant to
evade the requirements or intent of the Weld County Subdivision
regulations.
(3) Since the land is presently being farmed, this appears to be a
legitimate request and use of the variance procedure in Section
9-4-A(6) of the Weld County Subdivision Regulations.
(4) Preliminary

Gentlement
We own approximately 79 acres in southwest Weld county - in the
SE s of Section 19, Township 2, North Range 68w.
Since April, 1966 when we purchased the property, Mr. Sprague
has farmed the ground and held a full time job at Dow Chemical
Co. in Golden, Colorado.
It is not economically profitable to just farm such a small
acreage and it is becoming increasingly difficult to do justice
to the two occupations.
We are requesting an exemption from the minimum lot size of 80
acres in order to be able to apply for a recorded exemption on
the property in question.
We would like topsett approximately 70 acres and keep our house
and approximaSly 9 acres for, our home. The house is just a
little over Pour years old and built to our specifications.
Your favorable consideration will be appreciated.
Very truly yours,
Ralph R. Sprague
