1. VALLEY VIEW ESTATE PRELIMINARY PLAT (#92-SU0208): SW 1/4 36-05-69;
EAST OF US HIGHWAY 287, 1/4 MILE NORTH OF STATE HIGHWAY 60;
22.4 ACRES; 25 LOTS; FA-FARMING ZONING (5-3-93)
This is a request to divide 22.4 acres into 25 lots of .44 acres to 1.19
acres for single family dwellings. Ms. Bennett described the project,
the major concerns and issues, and noted that the main concern regarding
Highway (287) has been resolved thru new design and shifting the access
road to the south. Ms. Bennett stated that a note will be placed on the
Final Plat recommending noise-reducting construction techniques. Ms.
Bennett noted that this proposal requires two variances from the County
Subdivision Standards regarding the length of the temporary cul-de-sac
and submitting the development as a subdivision rather than a planned
unit development. Staff Findings include: 1) The proposed subdivision is
consistent with the County Comprehensive Plan, including the Loveland
Master Plan, the Subdivision Resolution, and the existing zoning of the
property (with the adjustment to the 4 lots stated above) and is
compatible with existing and planned uses in the area; 2) Approval of
the proposed Valley View Estates, with the following conditions, will
not result in any significant negative impact on surrounding properties,
utility service, transportation facilities, or the natural environment.
Much discussion followed concerning the lack of a long-range Master
Plan, lack of coordination between proposed developments, and the
creation of future traffic problems within this development. The
conditions were amended as follows:
The Planning Commission/Staff Recommendation is for Approval of the
Variance for exceeding the maximum allowed cul-de-sac with the condition
that final plans for an emergency secondary access, as shown on the
Preliminary Plat, be approved by the Loveland Fire Prevention Bureau and
the Larimer County Engineer; and Approval of the Variance for not
submitting the development as a Planned Unit Development, with the
condition that landscaping is provided consistent with County
requirements for a Planned Unit Development in the landscape buffer
shown on the Preliminary Plat; and Approval of the Preliminary Plat for
Valley View Estates for 25 single family lots as shown on the
Preliminary Plat, with the following amended conditions: 1) All concerns
of the County Engineer, the County Drainage Administrator, and the
Loveland Fire Prevention Bureau shall be addressed by construction plans
and collateral before the Final Plat is approved; 2) Final Plat
documents shall include an overlot grading plan and a reseeding plan,
calculations for sizing of the detention pond, and a final landscaping
plan. Collateral shall include installation of the landscaping
materials; 3) Internal subdivision roads shall meet urban street
standards; 4) Covenants shall address concerns of the Consolidated Home
Supply Ditch and Reservoir Company; 5) School Fees of $8 per lot or $200
shall be collected with the Final Plat; 6) An annexation agreement shall
be signed as required by the Loveland Intergovernmental Agreement; 7)
The following notes shall be added to the Final Plat; A) Engineered
foundation plans shall be required for all construction on this site; B)
The Larimer County Park Fee shall be collected when a building permit is
issued for a single family dwelling on each lot; C) The results of a
radon test shall be submitted to the Planning Department before a
Certificate of Occupancy is issued for any individual structure on the
site; D) All access shall be limited to internal subdivision road;
access to Lots 2 - 7 shall be limited to Valley View Court; E) Increased
noise insulation of walls, triple-glazed windows, and orientation of
living spaces away from US Highway 287 are recommended, as noise
reduction measures; F) Valley View Court will ecome a through street as
adjacent development occurs; 8) The Final Plat shall address concerns of
the Colorado Department of Transportation regarding relocation of the
access onto US 287, acceleration/deceleration lanes, an additional 20'
reservation along the frontage of US 287 for future road ROW, and a 15'
dedication with the Final Plat. The Final Plat shall show the new
setback line moved 15' to the east; 9) A note shall be placed on the
Final Plat stating that Valley View Lane is a thru street.
M O T I O N
Commissioner Duvall moved that the Board deny the Valley View Estate
Preliminary Plat because the UGA density has not been met and lack of
coordination in meeting UGA requirements.
Motion failed 1 - 2; Chairman Hotchkiss and Commissioner Disney
dissenting.
M O T I O N
Commissioner Disney moved that the Board adopt the Staff Findings and
the Planning Commission/Staff Recommendation with Amended Conditions and
approve the Valley View Estate Preliminary Plat (#92-SU0208), and the
two Variances as requested.
Motion carried 2 - 1; Commissioner Duvall dissenting.
2. AMENDMENT TO THE FENDER REZONING SITE PLAT (#93-ZR0218): NW 1/4
36-06-69; 5016 NORTH GARFIELD, LOVELAND; .34 ACRES; 1 LOT;
C-COMMERCIAL ZONING (5-3-93)
This is a request for Special Review and Change to Site Specific
Development Plan approval to include a 40' x 60' storage shed and an
expansion of the use of the site. Mr. White reviewed the history,
project description, and noted that the proposed addition does not
appear to create any significant problems. Staff findings are: 1) The
proposed use is consistent with the County Land Use Plan, County Zoning
Resolution, and Intergovernmental Agreements with Loveland; 2) The
proposed use is compatible with other commercial uses to the north,
south, and west. The use would have little or no impact on the
residential uses to the east; 3) The request is consistent with the
promotion of the public health, safety, convenience, order, and
prosperity; no increased demand for public services will result from the
proposal. In response to the applicant's question regarding process to
follow if the type of business at this location would change, Mr. White
stated that a change in use would be allowable unless it is totally
different; which would require coming back to the Board through the
review process.
The Planning Commission/Staff Recommendation is for Approval of the
Amendment to the Fender Rezoning Development Plan, with the following
amended conditions: 1) A signed Annexation Agreement shall be submitted
within 30 days of final approval in accordance with the requirements of
the Intergovernmental Agreements with Loveland; 2) A Deed of Dedication
for an additional 10 feet of right-of-way shall be submitted within 30
days of final approval; 3) No more than one business shall operate on
this property; however, the storage building may be used as an accessory
storage area for the applicant's canvas repair business, which exists on
the adjacent parcel, as long as the two parcels are in common ownership;
4) No machinery or equipment shall be operated in the storage building
that would be audible to residents in the adjacent homes; 5) The new
building shall be of an earthtone color with no reflective exterior
surfaces; 6) No additional signage shall be placed on the property; 7)
The access easement along the east sign of the parcel shall remain
unobstructed; 8) Except as otherwise modified by the above conditions,
all development and use of the property shall be consistent with the
development plan previously approved by the Board of County
Commissioners on August 25, 1986, and with Zoning File Exhibit A
(Application for Zoning Action dated February 14, 1993, with attached
information); 9) Compliance with requirements of the Loveland Fire
Protection Bureau, at the time of building permit application; 10)
Building must be sited as shown on the plan. Any other building
location must be approved by the Planning Commission and the Board.
M O T I O N
Commissioner Disney moved to adopt the Staff Findings and Planning
Commission/Staff Recommendation with Amended Conditions and approve the
Amendment to the Fender Rezoning Site Plan.
Motion carried 3 - 0.
3. POPE ALLEGED JUNK YARD VIOLATION (USED CARS, CAR PARTS, COLLECTORS
VEHICLES, ETC.); (#93-ZV0216): 1021 NORTH COUNTY ROAD 23H, WEST
SIDE OF COUNTY ROAD 23H, ONE MILE SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 34, WEST OF
LOVELAND (5-3-93).
This alleged violation is for storing inoperable/unlicensed vehicles
(14) and auto parts in such a manner as to create a junk yard. Mr.
Pedas reviewed the major issues and concerns, and submitted photos of
the site taken on various dates. Staff Findings include: 1) The subject
property is Zoned FA-1 Farming; 2) The FA-1 Farming Zoning District does
not permit outdoor storage of vehicles, sales, salvage or repair; 3)
Autos classified as collectors vehicles must be effectively screened if
they are stored outside; 4) Continued use of the property is
inconsistent with the Zoning Regulations and State Statutes, which may
affect property values in the neighborhood.
Staff Recommendation is to find that a violation exists, require
compliance within 30 days, and authorize legal action if the compliance
deadline is not met.
Eric Pope, property owner, requested that the Board allow 45 to 60 days
to come into compliance as he has a contract to begin construction on
June 1, 1993 on a 27' x 60' building in which he will be able to store
nine vehicles. Robert Williams, adjacent property owner and speaking on
behalf of other property owners in the area, read a document into the
record protesting the undesirable conditions existing on this site.
Discussion followed.
M O T I O N
Commissioner Disney moved that the Board adopt the Staff Findings and
Staff Recommendation and find that a violation exists, require
compliance within 60 days, and authorize legal action if the compliance
deadline is not met.
Motion carried 3 - 0.
4. RHEUBOTTOM ALLEGED JUNKYARD VIOLATION (#88-ZV9999): 630 WEST COUNTY
ROAD 16 (5-3-93).
This alleged violation is for storing inoperable/unlicensed vehicles,
vehicle salvage in the FA-Farming Zoning District. Mr. Pedas reviewed
the major issues and concerns. Staff Findings are: 1) The subject
property is zoned FA-Farming; 2) The FA-Farming Zoning District does not
permit junk yards, auto repair or salvage operations; 3) Adequate time
extensions have been given to the property owner in consideration of
personal matters in order to remove junk vehicles; 4) Continued use of
the property as a junk yard will severely affect property values in the
neighborhood; 5) The storage of junk vehicles provides suitable
harborage for rodents and other pests; 6) The outside storage of
vehicles may create a fire hazard and contribute to the growth and
spread of noxious weeds. The property owner did not appear.
Staff Recommendation is to find that a violation exists, require
compliance within 30 days, and authorize legal action if the deadline is
not met.
M O T I O N
Commissioner Disney moved that the Board adopt the Staff Findings and
Staff Recommendation and find that a violation exists, require
compliance within 30 days, and authorize legal action if the deadline is
not met.
Motion carried 3 - 0.
5. WORKSESSION TO DISCUSS ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA:
A. Final Plat Submission: Mr. Barnett stated that current regulations
require all items for the subdivision process to be submitted at the
same time. Over the years a process of two steps has evolved, which
results in confusion and difficulty in making sure all conditions have
been met. Mr. Barnett suggested returning to the original process as it
is outlined in the regulations and requested Board approval. CONSENSUS
OF THE BOARD was to agree to this request.
B. Enforcement of Zoning Regulations: Mr. Pedas described the types of
zoning violations, how complaints are handled, and noted that the
enforcement process and procedures were last reviewed in 1978. Mr.
Pedas stated that approximately 80% of the violations are resolved
before coming to the Board.
Mr. Legg noted that, except for building code violations, all code
violations result from a complaint. Mr. Legg advised the Board that, in
an attempt to speed up the enforcement process, Staff is considering
revising the code enforcement procedure whereby the Board would
authorize Staff to issue a citation when a violation is seen and
wondered if the Board thought this would be appropriate.
3. Discussion Items: Discussion followed concerning the progress being
made regarding scheduling certain land-use meetings at 4:30 p.m. or at
night, the possibility of conducting a survey among the citizens to
determine when they would like the meetings, etc. Commissioner Duvall
requested guidance from the Board and Counsel on procedures to follow
for changing direction of the Board and yet not changing the rules in
the middle of the game and staying within the limits of the law. Staff
noted it takes time to change policy and cited several examples of how
they are attempting to make changes.
The meeting recessed at 11:45 a.m.
BUDGET DISCUSSION

Commissioners Duvall and Disney were present. Also present were Bill
Gordon, County Administrator; Robert Grewell, Division Director,
Financial Administration Division; Rex Smith, Director of Public Works ;
and, Ralph Jacobs, Personnel Director. Recording Clerk, D. Lord.
Bob Keister presented an overview of the county's budget process with

county departments to submit the first projections for revenues in May.
Mr. Keister explained the need for a decision to be made to give the
department heads direction in their budget development process.
The Board discussed the various options for personnel, Capital
Expenditure Fund and Designated Working Capital Fund, and the need to
review each decision based on the impact of Amendment One on both
revenue and expenditures.
The Board agreed on the following strategies for developing the FY 94
budget:
o Instructions should be given to department heads for the FY 94
budget to be developed at the same basic level approved for FY 93.

range counties and obtain personnel salary data to use as a cost
comparison with Larimer County employees having the same or similar
responsibilities, by June 1, 1993

request a preliminary projection of revenues in May.

PUBLIC WORKS STANDING MEETING
(#216)
The Board of County Commissioners met at 9:30 a.m. in regular session
with Rex Smith, Director of Public Works. Chairman Hotchkiss presided;
Commissioners Disney and Duvall were present. Also present were: Frank
Lancaster, Natural Resources Director; Bill Heiden, Director of Road &
Bridge Department; and Bill Gordon, County Administrator. Recording
Clerk, S. Graves.
1. Mr. Lancaster provided an overview of the Natural Resources
Department and reviewed the history, goals, departmental values,
management commitments, and Mission Statement. Mr. Lancaster noted
that the Natural Resources Department is responsible for a variety of
environmental and resource management functions within the County. The
main areas of responsibility are the Larimer County Pest Control
District, Solid Waste Management Enterprise Fund, and Forestry and Pest
Control.
Mr. Lancaster discussed with the Board the "Free Days" offered at the
Landfill, noting that during the last "Free Day" they had over 2600
customers on one day, at a cost of $40,000 for the County. By contrast,
on a normal day they have 400 customers. Mr. Lancaster did note,
however, that 3,400 pounds of food and $806 in cash was collected for
the Distribution Center on that day. Because of the growth which has
occurred in the County, the Board agreed there is a need to change the
Intergovernmental Agreement with Fort Collins and Loveland regarding the
offering of "Free Days" at the Landfill each year.
Discussion ensued regarding the goal of the Larimer County Pest Control
District; which is to limit the spread of noxious weeds, particularly
leafy spurge and Canada thistle within Larimer County.
2. Mr. Heiden requested approval to use $290,000 of the unappropriated
Road and Bridge Fund Balance to fund Project #194 for County Road 15
improvements, to cover the increase in cost for emulsion for chipseal,
and to pay increased facility rent. Mr. Heiden noted that this
transaction will leave $132,000 remaining in the Fund Balance.
M O T I O N
Commissioner Disney moved that the Board approve the request to use
unappropriated Road and Bridge Fund Balance in the amount of $290,000 to
fund Project #194.

the Advisory Board are currently involved. She reported that Affordable
Housing, HUD Certificates/Voucher Program, REHAB Project, and
redesignation of the Advisory Board to a separate, non-county agency
were a few of their projects.
Chairman Hotchkiss explained that the county had no problem with looking
at options and investigating whether to redesignate the Advisory Board
as a entity separate from county government, but that the Advisory Board
should prepare plans, action steps and cost figures prior to any final
discussion of the move. Commissioner Duvall volunteered to act as
liaison to the Advisory Board. The Board and the Housing Advisory Board
agreed to meet together to discuss any mutual items of interest on a
more regular basis.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:40 a.m.

explained that the Meggison bid violated the requirements of the
specification, had vulcanized material, and left two questions blank
