The following business was transacted:
El I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated May 12, 2020, and duly published May 20,
2020, in the Greeley Tribune, a public hearing was conducted to consider the request of Paul and
Valerie Tams, for a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit, USR20-
0010, for accessory buildings with gross floor area larger than four percent (4%) of the total lot
area in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Bob Choate, Assistant County Attorney, made this a
matter of record.
e Angela Snyder, Department of Planning Services, presented a brief summary of the proposal
for an oversized, agricultural pole barn to be used for personal storage, and when combined with
existing outbuildings, will add up to 4.7% lot coverage. Ms. Snyder explained the site location,
stated it is located within the three (3) mile referral area of the Towns of Berthoud, Johnstown and
Mead, and relayed the Town of Johnstown, in their referral comments dated April 17, 2020,
indicated no concerns. She noted the location of the proposed barn on the property, stating the
barn will only be visible to a few neighbors, as other outbuildings in the area will block the view;
however, the new barn will not block neighboring views of the mountains, nor will it be out of
character with the neighborhood. She noted a petition from seven (7) surrounding property
owners (SPOs) within 500 feet was received, requesting denial; however, no explanation was
included. She stated several homes in the neighborhood have large outbuildings, none of which
have required USR permit, detailed the three (3) USRs in the neighborhood, displayed images of
the site and surrounding views, and entered the favorable recommendation of the Planning
Commission into the record as written.

El Melissa King, Department of Public Works (PW), provided a brief overview of an unpermitted,
existing access on Yucca Court, off County Road (CR) 42 at CR 11. Ms. King stated PW will
require an Access Permit for this location, which is a paved, local road, and relayed there will be
limited construction traffic and no additional traffic subsequent to construction. She indicated PW
will not require further traffic information or tracking control and the applicant has submitted a
drainage narrative with a qualifying exception to stormwater detention.
e Lauren Light, Department of Public Health and Environment (EH), explained the existing
residence is served by the Little Thompson Water District and they have a septic system permitted
for a three (3) bedroom residence. She stated EH has no Development Standards (DS) or issues
with this request as the system is located adjacent to Yucca Court and is not in the vicinity of the
proposed building.
El Paul and Valerie Tams, applicants, stated the petition was not related to the building, but
rather, it expressed the neighbors' frustration over the fact that they are restricted from operating
their businesses in the neighborhood. Mr. Tams clarified he is only storing personal property in
the building.
No public testimony was offered concerning this matter.
IE Commissioner Kirkmeyer proposed modifying DS#3 to read: "The existing landscaping and
screening on the site shall be maintained". The Board agreed to the aforementioned changes.
IE No public testimony was offered regarding the change made to the Development Standards.
e In response to Chair Freeman, Mr. Tams indicated they had reviewed, and agreed to abide
by, the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards, as amended.
El Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve the request of Paul and Valerie Tams for a Site
Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit, USR20-0010, for accessory
buildings with gross floor area larger than four percent (4%) of the total lot area in the
A (Agricultural) Zone District, based on the recommendations of Planning staff and the Planning
Commission, with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards, as amended. The
motion was seconded by Commissioner Ross, and it carried unanimously. There being no further
discussion, the hearing was completed at 10:30 a.m.
