PLAT OR PART OF A MAP OR PLAN FILED PRIOR TO ADOPTION OF ANY REGULATIONS
CONTROLLING SUBDIVISIONS IN THE A (AGRICULTURAL) ZONE DISTRICT - JASON AND
WHITNEE PATTEN: Michael Hall, Department of Planning Services, stated USR18-0071 was approved
on January 16, 2019, with Condition of Approval #1.A which required the applicant to address the
requirements of the Colorado Division of Water Resources to re -permit the existing water well (permit
#267999). Subsequent to that approval, the property was sold to the current applicants, Jason and
Whitnee Patten, who assumed the responsibility to complete the USR. Mr. Hall cited three (3) factors
supporting the staff's determination that the condition is no longer necessary: 1) the well is permitted for
residential use, which is the applicant's intended use for the site; 2) the existing well is not physically
located on the subject site and the applicants do not have the legal ability to re -permit the well; and 3) the
USR does not provide for on -site employees, so no water source is needed for the storage yard and
bottled water and portable toilets are satisfactory. Lastly, he confirmed, if this request is approved, the
plat has been submitted and is ready for recording. Jason Patten, applicant, agreed with staff's
explanation and confirmed he has no intent to use the site for a commercial business. No public testimony
was offered concerning this matter. In response to Commissioner James, Mr. Barker clarified the request
does not amend the USR Resolution, rather, this action will make the determination that the condition is
unnecessary, and its satisfaction is not required. Commissioner Freeman moved to determine that
COA #1.A of USR18-0071 is unnecessary, and therefore, it is no longer a requirement for the applicants
to satisfy. Commissioner Saine seconded the motion, and it carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
Consent Agenda. No Ordinances were approved.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted
by the Clerk to the Board.
There being no further business, this meeting was adjourned at 9:38 a.m.
