CASE NUMBER: PUDF14-0001
APPLICANT: MARK&JACQUELYN EBERL
PLANNER: CHRIS GATHMAN
REQUEST: APPLICATION FOR AN AMENDMENT TO A PUD (PLANNED UNIT
DEVELOPMENT) FINAL PLAT (S-500 - EDEN'S RESERVE PUD) TO
VACATE LOT 9 (AGRICULTURAL ZONED) OUT OF THE EDEN'S
RESERVE PUD.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: LOT 9 EDENS RESERVE PUD; PART OF SECTION 21,T3N, R68W OF
THE 6TH P.M.,WELD COUNTY, COLORADO.
LOCATION: SOUTH OF AND ADJACENT TO CR 32; 0.5 MILES EAST OF CR 5.
Chris Gathman, Planning Services, stated that the applicants wish to vacate Lot 9 which is an agricultural
zoned outlot from the Eden's Reserve PUD (Planned Unit Development). Lot 9 encumbers approximately
63.9 acres. The standard requirements under Section 24-7-60.A state"Easements shall follow rear and side
lot lines whenever practical and shall have a minimum total width of twenty (20) feet apportioned equally on
abutting properties"and Section 24-7-60.8"Where front line easement are required,a minimum of fifteen(15)
feet shall be allocated as a utility easement". Mr. Gathman stated that in this case the applicants are
proposing to vacate out entirely out of the PUD and therefore they are not subject to the subdivision design
standards. Staff recommends that the 20 foot Emergency Access and Utility Easement remain as it deals with
access and utilities to that Logan's Reservoir parcel. Additionally, staff recommended that any utility
easements that already have existing utilities within them remain.
Rob Fleck asked the applicant if there is another use for the property since they are requesting to vacate it
from the PUD. Mark Eberl said that they want regular agricultural zoning rather than PUD zoning so that they
can submit a Recorded Exemption to split their existing house off to sell and build another one.
Mr. Gathman added that currently the applicants are undergoing the Change of Zone process for the property
to rezone it back to agricultural.
Don Carroll moved to accept the plat as presented, seconded by Galen Monson. Motion carried unanimously.
PLANNER: TOM PARKO, JR.
REQUEST: PROPOSE AMENDMENT TO THE UTILITIES COORDINATING
ADVISORY COMMITTEE BYLAWS
Tom Parko, Planning Director, presented the proposed changes to the Utility Board Bylaws. Earlier this year
there was a reorganization with the Department of Public Works and through that reorganization there were
two (2) engineers transferred from Public Works to the Planning Department. Therefore it makes sense to
have one of these engineers serve as a representative on the Utility Board.
Galen Monson inquired if it should read "Weld County" Department of Planning Services. Mr. Parko replied
that we can add that to the changes.
Galen Monson moved to accept the proposed changes to the Utilities Coordinating Advisory Committee
Bylaws and recommend approval to the Board of County Commissioners,seconded by LeAnn Koons. Motion
carried unanimously.
Meeting adjourned at 10:15 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
2014-1845
