To be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners for the following reasons: With proper design, access roads are not necessary. An access road provides frontage only on one side of the road which is a waste of land whereas other roads provde frontage on both sides of the road.

Telep ) Subdivision Regulations County Planner ) Burman Lorensen ) ) Tape 54 Mr. Harold Anderson: We will call this hearing to order, Mr. Telep, will you make the record Mr. Telep: Let the record show that this cause came on for a hearing this day, December 9, 1970 at 11:30 A. M. by petition from the Weld County Planning Commission for an amendment to Section III Paragraph (4) , Subdivisions of a section of the Weld County Zoning Resolution and more specifically to amend Section III , Paragraph 1 (4) of the subdivision regulations to read as follows, " where a subdivision adjoins or contains an existing or a proposed major arterial highway or street on which traffic runs on vehicular speeds - excuse me I will continue - after the word speeds warrants special safety features marginalraccess streets at least 30 feet in width to be required in addition to the right-of-way for the major arterial route". Let the record further show that said notice was published as required by law. It was published in the Greeley Booster on dates of November 6th and November 27th. Let the record further show that the County Attorney after having read said notice as duly published is of the opinion that said notice is substantial - substantially correct and does give notice - due notice to all people who might be concerned in this hearing. Let the record further show that there is on file a resolution in support of the petition of the Planning Commission recommending favorably for the reasons that appear in said resolution from the Planning Commission and which is of record. Mr. Chairman I feel that it is in order to have a little additional clarification for the Board, before making its decision, from the Planning Director as to why this change is being made at this time. Amend Section III Par- I (4) 2 December 9, 1970 Mr. Lorensen: Mr. Chairman, this is a part of Section III of our Subdivision Regulations and I might read the title of that, " The Following Design Standards Shall Apply to All Subdivisions and the Unincorporated Areas of the County Unless Unusual Conditions Warrant Such Requirements and Such Variances Approved by the Planning Commission or County Commissioners." The previous paragraph (4) or the section indicated that the 30 foot width for a access road shall be required. That there was no judgement involved that when you came up to an major area that had one of these/arterial roads that the Planning Commission in its deliberation, unless there was a very great cause, had to have designed into the subdivision a 30 foot access road. Apparently there has been a change in the ruling regarding this and part of it is my feeling I suppose, Marshall Anderson: Is that interial roads? Mr. Lorensen: we are talking about access roads next to major arterials as an example, for a by-pass and an adjacent road to it. Marshall Anderson: In other words a service road. Mr. Lorensen: Yes, service road is another word for it. It was felt that it should not be a requirment everytime - I proposed to the Planning Commission that it shall be or recommended for a change in that we put in the word may for the word shall, which gives us discretionary powers regarding whether it has to be included in the design or not. Marshall Anderson: In other words Burman, we are talking about subdivisions on a county road that would make the arterial. Mr. Lorensen: Yes sir. the perrogative Marshall Anderson: You want to try to make them - rather than to build houses facing the County road they have to have a service road - is that what we are talking about? So we don't have a mile of houses backing out on this road. Mr. Lorensen: Not precisely - the current regulation state there must be one - there has to be one in every case where there is a major road and what we are saying here - we are proposing a change that it can be - it either has to be there or it doesn't have to be there. In the sense Amend Section III Pa I (4) 3 iecember 9, 1970 Mr. Lorensen: that we have the power to make judgement whether it is needed. Marshall Anderson: In other words it is up to your discretion then as a Planner. Mr. Lorensen: Well of course on the approval of both the Planning Commission and the County Commissioners after this - you know every plat that goes through is approved by both Planning and the County Commissioners and so it is really not based upon my judgement entirely - you just listen to what I have to say and if you agree with it it is then approved in that form. If you disapprove. Marshall Anderson: You see what I am getting at this Sears Subdivision on this diagonal that they are putting across - now I don't want those people out there to have access to that road in that subdivision other than two points. Mr. Telep: Marsh, I don't think, what you are talking about is a little different from what Burman is trying to explain. Marshall Anderson: Doesn't this give him the power to request that in subdivisions Mr. Teleps Sure, thats right - 4a subdivisions is in fact presented to the Planning Director and the Planning Commission, they, in the interest of good planning will try to decide meritorisly whether we are going to have one access road or two or three. Now what he is trying to bring to mind if you have an arterial highway or a super highway, and that is a good way to explain it and this arose because of that lawsuit - you have a tremendous arterial road here. I don't care how many accesses you have to this road, what he has inrmind is that - they are - the word shall is in there - shall and he has absolutely no discretion at all - the word shall is in there - you have to have it whether it is needed or not. Because we are involved in a condemnation and until we are presented with a plat they can't exercise good judgement whether in fact one would be needed or not. But on the basis of damages to be allowed the word shall is in there. You see - this is where I think it is going to cause the State up to $20,000.00, because of this one little word. Marshall Anderson: What I am getting at Sam, on the interest of safety - Belair Subdivision - you have one exit there. I don't know why Don Shaw didn't use Amenc Section I_:: Para 1 (4) 4 December 9, 1970 Marshall Anderson: Twentieth Street Road for a street in Belair but somehow or other he didn't. What I don't like to see is these subdivisions and letting the subdivider start his first row of houses on the County road. Then you have everybody backing out on the road. Confin them within the subdivision. Mr. Telep: I think they can contain that now. Marshall Anderson: What I mean will this give them this right. Mr. Lorensen: We already have that right. Mr. Anderson: But this kind of gives you a little latitude. Mr. Lorensen: It give us better terms of judgement. Mr. Telep: In other words Marsh, if the plat is such or upon his recommendation - the Planning Commission - a subdivider comes in with a plat they could do one of two things. They could ask him after they have talked to this subdivider - when they consider the potentiality of this thing and everything else if their is in fact a service road that is necessary they will so recommend and they can because of the word isn't in Marshall Anderson: Alright, now here situation we talked about it at the highway meeting, we talked about it - now on this automobile alley I call it here west of 23rd Avenue and 20th Street Road - you were in on that conversation with the State Highway Department, west of the new Cooper Theater out here, Sam. Mr. Telep: Yes, I know where it is. Marshall Anderson: It is my thinking that in the future I hope this thing will make it possible - here we have a four lane high speed road now they are starting to develop businesses out there and what I say you should have on that - Charlie Shumate and all the people, Lawrence Bauer, and Wayne Capron and all of them are faced with building 4-Lane super highways that everybody wants= to punch a hole in it - like the Elks Club did. I think that when they subdivide that and the plans come in there should be a service road on both side of the 4-lane Amend Section III Para 1 (4) 5 December 9, 1970 Marshall Anderson: highway similar to what it is down around McCoy's Catipillar and Moore Equipment and down in there. You can still do business along that road but you only have an interchange at every mile and it my thinking that it should continue out clear to Meyers corner or to at least Fifty-first Avenue. Mr. Telep: Well the monkey is on their back and in the interest of good planning I am sure they are thinking like that. Marshall Anderson: But this will take care of that situation. Does that give you the right to - you may acquire it. Mr. Lorensen: In this situation, the way it is written it has to be required. the way we are requesting it is they can use judgement whether it is needed. Marshall Anderson: Can you force them that is what 1 want to know? Mr.Lorensen: Yes, we can still do that. Mr. Telep: Oh yes, it take nothing away from you. You are deleting the word shall and adding the word may to give discretion. This doesn't change anything Marsh. All this particular amendment does is takes the word shall out, where there is absolutely no discretion whether they like it or not. In my opinion it was written badly. He has discretion now. It doesn't take anything away from the zoning resolution and the constitutionality so far has not been contested. Mr. Lorensen: Really in my way of thinking it gives you more room to use common sense because the way it is written there it allows more common sense. Harold Anderson: No iron clad rules in other words. Mr. Lorensen: That is the way it is written now, we would like to have just the possibility of discretionatly as needed. Harold Anderson: We had a discussion where a subdivision faces just a plain county road - can we object to any of these houses built facing that road so that would have an access from every house - in other words if a condition like this comes up - you understand? Instead of demanding a frontage road the houses would be faced the other way - away from this county road and faces street where there is only one road, you understand what I mean Amend SQction III Pa= 1 (4) 6 December 9, 1970 Mr. Lorensen: Yes I do. Harold Anderson: So as to keep every house along the county road - now this is on a county road Mr. Lorensen: If you will note we have been doing this in a number of them and the mechanism that we have been using is one foot strip adjacent to the county road that is dedicated to non-road purposes. It is dedicated to the County but it is not for roadway purposes which denies the individual home owners access directly to the county road if there are interior road available and it makes them run their traffic to a point that - a common point that hits the county road. We have done this on quite a number of subdivisions at the first of the year. The only cases in which this has not been done are where the parcels immence by comparison. If you are talking about an acre site, if you are talking about 18 or 20 acres we have a couple of subdivisions in with that size of lots where we have not required this because of the size of the parcel. When you are putting one house on a 20 acre parcel do you really need to restrict their access onto a county road. Marshall Anderson: Providing they don't break that up in there Mr. Lorensens Thats true. Harold Anderson: In that particular case too we demand a 70 foot set back right Mr. Lorensen: We can demand it. If they plat it we don't require the 70 foot set back because in the platting we pick up so they add on an additional 20 feet of right of way and the only reason for that 70 foot right-of-way and the only reason for that 70 foot set-back where there is no plat and where the additional road-way has not been deeded to the type County which would make it an arterial/road and so we request 70 foot set-backs on those sites. Harold Anderson: Yes I understand that but in all cases it is a 50 foot set back. Mr. Lorensen: Yes. Marshall Anderson: Well I don't think that is the question - I think we are about ready to vote on it. Amend Section III PE 1 (4) 7 December 9, 1970 Harold Anderson: Well the whole question is too many exits and entrances to any road thats why if you build a road to the exit Mr. Lorensen: Right. Mr. Telep: Pardon me Marsh, with your permission please, Mr. Chairman there is I think it should be noted for the record perhaps that/no one present in the room who may be in protest as to amending this particular section of the zoning resolution. Harold Anderson: Let the record show that there is no one here in opposition to this change. Marshall Anderson: I make a motion that this be accepted. Harold Anderson: I vote yes. Meeting adjourned.
