All of these requests are based upon orders issued from the Weld County Court after a trial, or a stipulation / agreement between the parties, or the refusal of the property owner to participate in the court process. In each case, the Court has found that the property is in violation of either Chapter 23 (Zoning Code) or Chapter 29 (Building Code), or both. The Court issues an order imposing a continuing daily penalty that accrues until the property is brought into compliance with the code. In most cases the property owner agrees that the property is in violation, and we file a stipulation with the court which outlines what needs to happen to bring the property into compliance, and sets deadlines. This becomes an order of the court. Even when they miss those deadlines, we always work with property owners who are making good faith efforts to comply. We only seek a daily penalty order when the property owner fails or refuses to bring the property into compliance. When they do bring it into compliance, we file a motion to end the daily penalties and dismiss the case. So today you see we have lots of cases to certify. We need to get these to the Treasurer by December 1st in order to have these special assessments placed on the tax roll next year. The first twelve on the list are new cases for which you have never certified daily penalties as special assessments. a ® ® ® 6 ® ® Roland 8588 Case $25 Violations: animals an Property $25/day daily electrical 21C31829; CR r- 21, on is x and penalties site, still 34 Fort permit and in BCV20®00048/ZCV20-00023 Lupton violation + ordered electrical $25 Castillo initial to 10/12/21 completed too without many 0 ® * c - ® ® Dave 565 Dunmire Case $10 daily Violations: cargo Property $10/day Sanger 21C30145; container is x penalties 187 still Sr. St., noncommercial days in ZCV20-00093 Frederick order violation to building $50 initial begin junkyard, 05/12/21 permit penalty installation $1,920 of noncommercial days Eloisa begin junkyard, work penalty without = = = $875 a Santos and Sonia Simental ® Justin Walden 18526 CR 8, Brighton ® 4730 Kings Canyon Dr., Greeley Case 2004848; ZCV20-00135 • Case 21C31191; ZCV20-00174 L; $30 daily penalties ordered to begin 06/16/21 6 $25 daily penalties ordered to begin 09/29/21 Violations: noncommercial junkyard, too many ® Violations: noncommercial junkyard, derelict vehicle animals on site ® Property still in violation is Property is still in violation ® $25/day x 47 $1,175 = $30/day x 152 days = $4,560 Dena Swingle ® Consuelo Hernandez ® 7435 Harold St., Ft.

(Court Order attached). Upon information and belief, the zoning violation still exists on your property.

Please note that the daily penalty will continue to accrue until the property is brought into compliance with the Weld County Code. The total request at the hearing will be 54.175.00.
