Ms. Aungst confirmed the conditions stated in the referral letter from the Colorado Division of Water Resources were met and the referral letter from Zoning Compliance indicates multiple zoning violations exist on three (3) of the associated parcels due to commercial trucking operations and an unpermitted office onsite. Ms. Aungst assured the commercial operation ceased as of June 5, 2020, and shared staff's recommendation for approval, as the proposal is in compliance with the Historic Townsite requirements and the Resubdivision application requirements, while resolving the right-of-way issue through dedication, or vacation, of the right-of-way. Catherine James, applicant representative, was present to answer any questions. No public input was provided. The motion to approve Resubdivision, RES20-0005, with the Conditions of Approval, was made by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, seconded by Commissioner James, and it carried unanimously.

She shared staff's recommendation for denial, as the proposed Lot A will be approximately 2.28 acres in size and does not meet Section 24-8-40.L of the Weld County Code requiring lots be at least 2.5 acres in size. Ms. Aungst added the referral letter from the Department of Public Health and Environment did not express any concerns regarding the proposed acreage. She further shared the applicant's intent to allow their children to reside on the property and they have no intention of selling the property. Responding to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Ms. Aungst confirmed there is a well and a septic system on proposed Lot A, with no improvements currently on Lot B. Charlotte Jones, applicant representative, detailed the intent for her children to reside on the property in order to aid in farming operations. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Ms. Jones shared the location of the well and septic system on the property, assured the septic system was certified in 1977, and stated Lot A is required to be at least 35 acres in size, so she is unable to meet the size requirement for Lot B. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve said Recorded Exemption, RECX20-0119, with the Conditions of Approval. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Ross and it carried unanimously. PUBLIC INPUT: (Clerk's Note: The following Public Input was provided after all other items of business). David Hale, Carr resident, summarized Recorded Exemption (RE), RE -3333, which split an 80 -acre parcel in 2009. He stated the creation of Lot A blocked access to his property from County Road (CR) 25, his family was forced to abandon their home as a result, and the court case was denied. Mr. Hale requested aid from the County, since the County approved the RE, building permit, and access on CR 25. Responding to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Hale shared Greg Reeves owned Lot B and didn't allow or provide an access from Lot A to Lot B, even though it was a Condition of Approval; however, Mr. Reeves later passed away and the lot is now under new ownership. In further response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, he suggested the Judge involved in his court case did not recognize the requirements of the landowner because it was not noted in the deed and he clarified there are no section line easements. Mr. Hale amended his original statement, clarifying the RE was created in 2003, not 2009, and reiterated the applicant, Greg Reeves, refused to create an easement to allow access to each lot. Mr. Barker advised Mr. Hale to have an attorney present when discussing the matter and assured the Board that Mr. Hale's attorney is seeking clarification of the order from the court.
