I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated February 28, 2018, and duly published

County Attorney, made this a matter of record.
Chair Pro -Tern Kirkmeyer advised the applicant that in the case of a tie vote, Commissioner
Moreno will listen to the record and make the determining vote.
IR Angela Snyder, Department of Planning Services, presented a brief summary of the proposal
and stated the site is located south of State Highway 66, and east of County Road (CR) 3, and
contains a residence and associated outbuildings. Seventeen (17) referrals were sent out, and
no objections were raised, although twelve (12) agencies responded with comments that have
been address in the Conditions of Approval. She further stated the site is within the three (3) mile
referral area of the City of Longmont and Towns of Mead and Firestone, which indicated no
concerns. Ms. Snyder reviewed the zoning and land uses in the surrounding area. She explained
this case is the result of neighborhood concerns regarding PUDZ17-0004, which was approved
by the Board on September 9, 2017, for a residential subdivision. Following the hearing, the
applicant met with the surrounding property owners and, as a result of their concerns, the plat
was never recorded. She stated the applicant agreed to change the zoning back to Agricultural,
adjust the property boundary to sell the Baldwins eight (8) acres, and use the Recorded and
Subdivision Exemption processes to split the remaining 11 acres into two sellable lots. She stated

approval of this Change of Zone will allow for the completion of SUBX18-0005 and RECX18-0015
to satisfy the neighbors and result in a financially viable solution for the property owner.
Ms. Snyder displayed images of the site and surrounding area and entered the favorable
recommendation of the Planning Commission into the record as written. In response to Chair
Pro-Tem Kirkmeyer, Ms. Snyder confirmed the eight (8) acres for the Baldwins is being
accomplished with a lot line adjustment, it will not create a new lot, and the Union Farms PUD

transportation plans and requirements. He stated the site is accessed from State Highway 66, the
applicant will need to show the access on the plat, and staff has no concerns with the request.

requirements and stated the application will have no impact to the drainage on the site.

provisions, stating the site will be served by the Longs Peak Water District, and an unpermitted

and staff has no concerns with the application.

involved.
