PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
MONDAY, MAY 10, 1993
SUBDIVISIONS
(#221 & 222)
The Board of County Commissioners met at 9:00 a.m. in regular session
with John Barnett, Director of Planning. Chairman Hotchkiss presided;
Commissioners Disney and Duvall were present. Also present were Al
Kadera, Subdivision Manager; Carol Evans, Associate Planner; Richael
Michels, Planner; Elaine Spencer, Manager Engineering Operations &
Planning; Jerry Blehm, Environmental Health; and, Jeannine Haag,
Assistant County Attorney. Recording Clerk, D. Lord.
Mr. Barnett advised the Board that the applicants for Item 5, Sunship
Planned Unit Development, had requested that their hearing be tabled
until May 24, 1993, and the applicants for Item 6, Jenks Minor
Residential Development, had requested that their hearing be tabled
until June 7, 1993. Chairman Hotchkiss asked if anyone had come to
testify on either of these items. Lowell Keup stated that he had come
to protest the continual break-up of county land, as he felt was being
requested in the Jenks proposal.
MOTION
Commissioner Disney moved that the Sunship Planned Unit Development
hearing be tabled until May 24, 1993, and that the Jenks Minor
Residential Development be tabled until June 7, 1993.
The motion carried 3 - 0.
Mr. Barnett also advised the Board that Agenda Items 1 through 4 were
consent items that would not be discussed in detail unless specifically
requested by the Commissioners or members of the audience. Chairman
Hotchkiss said the Board would review each item separately to ensure all
concerns were addressed.
1. SIECZKOWSKI EXEMPTION, LOT 2 (#93-EX0271): 28-05-69; NORTH SIDE OF
COUNTY ROAD 16H; JUST EAST OF COUNTY ROAD 21; WEST OF LOVELAND 3
ACRES; LOVELAND URBAN GROWTH AREA (5-10-93)
Mr. Barnett explained that this request would revise the Sieczkowski
Exemption, which now requires a public sewer. Staff Findings include:
1) The Sieczkowski Exemption was conditionally approved in 1981; 2) A
condition of approval required that the vacant lot be served by a public
sewer; 3) Public sewer has not been extended to this area and there is
no indication that sewer will be available in the near future; and, 4)
The County Health Department has no objection to removing the public
sewer requirement, although there may be a requirement that an
engineered septic system be installed on this site. Staff
Recommendation is for approval of the request to remove the condition of
approval, which requires that public sewer serve Lot 2.
2. FOX ACRES COUNTRY CLUB PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT - SUBDIVISION
IMPROVEMENTS AGREEMENT (#S-46-85, #S-138-86, #S139-86, #S140-86):
PORTIONS OF 22, 27, and 18, TOWNSHIP 10 NORTH; RANGE 73 WEST;
ADJACENT TO ROOSEVELT NATIONAL FOREST; AND, NORTH OF THE RED
FEATHER LAKES; 458.42 ACRES; 118 LOTS; E-1 ESTATE ZONING (5-10-93)
This is a request to release warranty collateral and Subdivision
Improvements Agreement. Staff Findings include: 1) Fox Acres Country
Club Planned Unit Development was originally approved in 1985; 2) The
developer has completed all the improvements and the warranty period for
previously released improvements has expired; 3) The County holds a
Certificate of Deposit in the amount of $25,000 as collateral for the
recently completed improvements and the previous warranty; and, 4) The
County Health Department notes that all water and sewer improvements are
complete and the collateral should be released.
Staff recommendation is for approval of the request to release the
developer from his obligations under the Subdivision Improvements
Agreement for Fox Acres Country Club Planned Unit Development and the
Warranty Collateral Agreement for previously released improvements with
the condition that the developer execute a Warranty Collateral Agreement
for the last of the improvements and provide warranty collateral in the
amount of $1077.
Mr. Ted Carter, representing Campbell Development, stated that the only
condition he objected to was the requirement for the $1077 warranty
collateral charge. Mr. Kadera explained that he didn't believe the
charge was necessary for this particular developer, but that the charge
was according to regulation. He explained that Campbell Development was
responsible for all of the interior improvements, and that there was no
risk to the county if the warranty amount was waived, except that
regulations required the 5% warranty to be paid.
MOTION
Commissioner Disney moved that the Warranty Collateral payment of $1077
be waived because the developer provides its own improvements and
maintenance and the county has no further obligation for the
development; and that the county attorney is instructed to develop
language to address the rationale for this waiver.
The motion carried 3 - 0.
3. ASHLEY EXEMPTION (#93-EX0274) 01-04-73; TRACTS 2 and 3; BETWEEN
STATE HIGHWAY 7 AND CARRIAGE HILLS, SOUTH OF ESTES PARK; 5 ACRES;
E-ESTATE ZONING (5-10-93)
This request is to remove a condition of approval which requires that
public water service be utilized by these lots; the town of Estes Park
notes that water is not available. Staff Findings include: 1) The
Ashley Exemption was conditionally approved in 1982; 2) A condition of
approval required that public water serve all three lots; 3) The Town of
Estes Park, the only water provided in this area, has indicated that it
is not feasible to provide water to these sites at this time; and, 4)
The State Engineer has indicated that domestic well permits will be
issued for the lots to provide a potable water source.
Staff recommends approval of the request to amend the conditions of
approval for the Ashley Exemption to allow domestic wells for a water
supply in lieu of providing public water to each site.
Debi Coleman, Listing Agent for the land, supported the Staff
recommendation as it will release future homeowners of these lots from
requirements to hook up to city water, since they would have to bear the
cost themselves.
4. ROCK RIDGE LANE STREET NAME REQUEST (#93-OS0273); 11 and 14-05-70;
SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 34 AND THREE MILES WEST OF LOVELAND; 35 ACRE
PARCELS: RURAL ZONING (5-10-93)
This request is to name an unnamed road which provides access to several
35 acre lots. Staff findings include: 1) The proposed street name, Rock
Ridge Lane, was reviewed by all appropriate agencies and no objections
were noted; 2) The proposed street name does not duplicate any existing
street names in this part of the County; and, 3) Naming the street will
facilitate addressing and emergency response to this area.
Staff recommendation is for approval of the proposed street name: Rock
Ridge Lane.
MOTION:
Commissioner Disney moved to adopt the consent items: Sieczkowski; Fox
Acres; Ashley; and, Rock Ridge, with the change adopted for Fox Acres
regarding warranty collateral, as recommended by Staff.
The motion carried 3 - 0.
7. LINQUIST APPEAL RE: MRD APPLICATION LIMITATIONS; (#93-OSO269);
SOUTH OF ESTES PARK ON THE WEST SIDE OF STATE HIGHWAY 7; E-ESTATE
ZONING (5-10-93)
This is an appeal of the limitations placed on the Minor Residential
Development process. The applicant requests that a Minor Residential
Development be processed on this site, even though the parcel was
created after 1972 and the parcel is outside the designated area. Staff
findings include: 1) The property in question existed as a separate,
conveyable, 50 acre parcel in 1963; 2) This part of the County has
utility services and access that are not generally available in the
western part of the County; 3) This appeal should be granted to allow
the property owner an opportunity to proceed through the Concept
Technical Review Process to determine if adequate services exist to
serve the property; and 4) A public hearing will be held to determine
the appropriateness of creating additional lots in this area, if the
appeal is approved.
Staff recommends approval of the appeal to permit the Linquist property
to proceed through the Minor Residential Development Process.
Robert Black and Cynthia Linquist informed the Board that the property
in question has been considered for tax purposes to be 2 separate
properties for 13 years, in that the parcels have been assessed, bought
and sold, and taxed separately since 1980. He stated that the parcels
were 42 and 10 acres, and that Ms. Linquist had purchased them
separately. The larger acreage is currently under a purchase option
with the Peregrine Golf Course Association. The smaller piece of
property currently has two residents residing on the smaller parcel, and
the property owner would like to allow them to stay on the land. He
said that the Interim MRD regulations prohibited Ms. Linquist from
submitting an application for consideration of clarifying the separation
of the parcels, even though the only step that hasn't been finalized in
the current status of the two properties is the approval of the Planning
Commission. Mr. Kadera said that the request to the Planning Department
was only to request permission to submit the application, and he
supported approving only the right for Ms. Linquist to appeal the two
parcels in the original request.
MOTION
Commissioner Disney moved approval for the Linquist property, consisting
of 52 acres, to proceed through the Minor Residential Development
process.
The motion carried 3 - 0.
8. WELD COUNTY WATER SPECIAL REVIEW (#93-ZRO219); NW 1/4 14-04-70;
SOUTH OF COUNTY ROAD 8E; 1/4 MILE WEST OF COUNTY ROAD 27E; 1/2
MILES SOUTH OF EXISTING PLAN; 1/2 MILE WEST OF CARTER LAKE; 40
ACRES; 1 LOT; O-OPEN ZONING (5-10-93)
This project is located in the southwest part of the County near the
southern end of Carter Lake. Staff findings include: 1) The Larimer
County Engineering and Health Departments, the Fire District, all
utilities, and other interested agencies have reviewed this subdivision
and have stated no objections as long as certain conditions are met; 2)
The proposed water treatment facility is consistent with the existing
development in the area and appears consistent with the Larimer County
Comprehensive Plan; and, 3) Approval of the Special Review, with the
following conditions, will not result in any significant negative
impacts on the surrounding properties, transportation facilities,
utility services, the natural environment, or on overall health and
safety. Staff and Planning Commission recommended conditions for
approval: 1) Two fire hydrants must be installed as specified by the
Berthoud Fire Protection District, as well as the approved access roads,
prior to building permit for the buildings or a Subdivision Improvements
Agreement being executed; 2) All other requirements of the Berthoud Fire
Protection District and the Uniform Fire Code must be met prior to
receiving a Certificate of Occupancy for the buildings, including but
not limited to, exhaust treatment system, fire extinguishing system,
smoke detection system, and gas detection system; 3) An erosion control
plan and reseeding plan must be submitted to the County Flood Plain
Administrator prior to building; 4) Issues must be resolved with the
Bureau of Reclamation prior to reseeding: a letter placed in the file
stating that the issues have been resolved is sufficient; 5) A letter
from the Division of Wildlife to place in the file will be needed
regarding fencing prior to proceeding; 6) A new landscape plan must be
submitted to Staff and to the County Forester for approval prior to
proceeding: it must specify locations, sizes, and species of plant
materials; more trees should be shown than are shown on the originally
submitted plan; consideration should be given to screening for all sides
of the facilities; a grass seed mix and spreading rate must be provided,
as well as an irrigation plan; and, backwash ponds should be shown with
a more natural appearance; 7) Culvert size must be approved by the
County Engineering Department prior to its installation; 8) a written,
intergovernmental agreement should be developed between the County Board
of Commissioners and the Water Districts that these facilities and
expansion of services will not dictate or drive County land use
decisions; and 9) Lighting should be down lighting only: no elements can
be visible from off the site; no fugitive light should leave the
property; and, this condition is to apply to both the new and existing
site.
Kevin Archer of Rocky Mountain Consultants, Mr. Richard Whittet of the
Little Thompson Water District and John Zadel, of the Central Weld Co.
Water District made presentations to respond to the conditions
recommended with the approval of the application. They said that they
had already received letters regarding the land use agreement and had no
problems with meeting the conditions as set forth by the Planning
Commission. The only obstacle was the location of the holding pond, due
to the terrain, but they would work with the County Forester to reach an
agreement as to its placement. There was discussion regarding the other
conditions, particularly condition number 8. It was decided that County
staff would work on formulating the intergovernmental agreement on land
use.
MOTION
Commissioner Disney moved for approval with the conditions as set forth
by the Planning Commission and Staff, and the formalization of condition
#8 as an interagency agreement.
The motion passed 3 - 0.
9. SHEEHAN MINOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT-RELEASE OF COLLATERAL
(#92-EXO001); NW 1/4 32-04-69; SOUTH OF COUNTY ROAD 4; 1/2 MILE

RESERVE (5-10-93)
This is a request for release of collateral for the Sheehan Minor
Residential Development, per the County's Collateral Policy. Staff
findings include: 1) Sheehan Drive in the Sheehan Minor Residential
Development has been completed to the satisfaction of the County
Engineering Department; and, 2) Release of 95% of the applicant's
collateral at this time is consistent with the collateral policy. Staff
recommends release of the collateral. No testimony was offered.
MOTION
Commissioner Disney moved approval of the release of collateral for the
Sheehan Minor Residential Development, per the County's Collateral
Policy.
The motion carried 3 -0
The meeting was recessed at 11:00 a.m.
MONDAY, MAY 10, 1993
MEETING REGARDING REHAB HOUSING APPLICATION
(#222)
The Board of County Commissioners reconvened at 2:00 p.m. with Tom Hart,
Director of the State of Colorado Division of Housing and Rena Mackrill,
Director of Human Development Department (HDD). Chairman Hotchkiss
presided; Commissioner Duvall was present; and, Commissioner Disney was
attending a meeting in Greeley. Also present were: Bill Gordon, County
Administrator; Donna Aguilar, Colorado Division of Housing; Carol
Gillespie, Community Development Director - HDD; and Lani VanEck,
Housing Development Specialist-HDD. Recording Clerk, D. Lord.
Ms. Mackrill stated the County's need for clarification of the State's
position regarding the Larimer County Rehab Grant. She and her Staff
have worked diligently to expand the grant's focus from single county to
the larger base recommended by the State. She said that she was fairly
certain that the City of Loveland would be a co-grantee, and that
Wellington, LaPorte and one other city may be amenable to applying as
one grantee for all the areas. There is a time-constraint to including
the City of Fort Collins, as the city's current funding doesn't expire
until December of 1994.
Mr. Hart said he appreciated the difficulty of all of the entities
forming a multi-agency application, but the State's position is that
single county grantees would no longer receive funding for rehab
housing. He said that Larimer County had not shown an adequate need for
the services, based on a very small waiting list survey. In addition,
he said that he believed that the County must develop a joint powers
agreement with neighboring counties, such as Morgan, Weld, Jackson,
etc., if funding is to be expected in the foreseeable future.
Commissioner Duvall asked if, for the current application process, a
grant that included only Larimer County and Loveland would be considered
viable to the State with the long-term objective of developing a
multi-county, city/county partnerships to administer the grant included.
Mr. Hart said such a grant would be considered for funding. Chairman
Hotchkiss said that the first step toward developing this shared
approach would be to instruct Larimer County Staff to begin meeting with
the other entities to develop the type of administrative body the State
required. Ms. Mackrill agreed to initiate the process.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:00 p.m.
TUESDAY, MAY 11, 1993
MEETING REGARDING PERSONNEL ISSUES
The Board of County Commissioners met with Ralph Jacobs, Personnel
Director at 9:00 a.m. Chairman Hotchkiss presided: Commissioners
Duvall and Disney were present. Also present were Patsy Maroney,
Compensation/Benefits Specialist; and Bill Gordon, County Administrator.
MOTION
Commissioner Disney moved that the Board go into Executive Session to
discuss Personnel matters.
The motion carried 3 - 0.
The Board recessed at 10:40 a.m.; no action taken.
PUBLIC WORKS MEETING
(#223)
The Board of County Commissioners reconvened at 10:45 a.m. in regular
session with Rex Smith, Director of Public Works. Chairman Hotchkiss
presided: Commissioners Duvall and Disney were present. Also present
were: Bill Gordon, County Administrator and Bill Heiden, Director of
the Road and Bridge Department. Recording Clerk, D. Lord.
Mr. Heiden presented a memo which provided a preliminary cost estimate
to build the proposed Larimer County Road and Bridge Shop in Livermore.
After discussion of the options, it was decided that a decision for
proceeding with the bid process would be delayed until the Board had
identified a priority expenditure plan to implement the planning
objectives that are in the process of being developed.
Mr. Smith and Mr. Heiden presented the conclusions reached as a result
of investigating the options as related to initiating a chip seal
program for the bicycle loop identified as a particular problem area for
cyclists. The cost for the fog sealer, just for the loop, is projected
at $25,000. After discussion, it was decided that the County implement
the following: 1) Increase efforts to sweep the areas immediately after
chips are laid; 2) Place signs when chips are laid to warn cyclists
before they enter the area; 3) Notify bike shops and the newspaper to
alert cyclists when roads are scheduled to have chips laid; and 4) Use
smaller chips to provide more protections for both motorists and
cyclists. The project will be evaluated to determine its efficacy.
Mr. Heiden then made a presentation to the Board regarding the
difference between treated and untreated gravel roads, including the
process utilized, the costs, the time frames for application, and the
impact in relation to dust and cost factors. The most prevalent
complaint of residents in areas where gravel is laid is notification.
The Board suggested a more attention-getting flyer or brochure may work
better than the current letter of information.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:30 a.m.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1993
ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
(#224)
The Board of County Commissioners met at 9:30 a.m. in regular session
with Bill Gordon, County Administrator. Chairman Hotchkiss presided;
Commissioners Disney and Duvall were present. Also present were: John
MacFarlane, Parks, Director; Bob Martell, Purchasing Agent; Patrice
Luehring, Buyer II; Jerry Westbrook, Northern Colorado Water Conservancy
District; Wil Banner, Bureau of Reclamation; and Russ Ragsdale, County
Clerk's Chief Deputy. Recording Clerk, S. Graves.
1. DISCUSSION OF PROPOSALS TO CONSIDER THE CONTRACTING OF A
PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT TO PREPARE A RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN:
Subsequent to the receipt of proposals for contracting a professional
consultant to prepare a Resource Management Plan of Horsetooth
Reservoir, Carter Lake, Pinewood Lake, and Flatiron Reservoir for the
Larimer County Parks Department and the Bureau of Reclamation, four
consultant companies were interviewed and their proposals evaluated.
The Evaluation Committee was comprised of members of the Larimer County
Park Department, Purchasing Department, Northern Colorado Water
Conservancy District, and the Bureau of Reclamation. Following much
deliberation, the evaluation team voted 3 to 2 in favor of Burns and
McDonnell and requested Board approval of same.
Lengthy discussion ensued concerning the rationale for choosing Burns
and McDonnell, a Kansas and Denver based firm, over EDAW, a local firm.
It was also noted that the proposal from EDAW was approximately $800
lower than Burns and McDonnell. The Evaluation Committee responded that
their decision between the two firms was close, but they determined that
that Burns and McDonnell was the most qualified and made the most
effective verbal presentation. The interview time limit was
questioned--Burns was allowed one hour and the other companies were
given one-half hour. Mr. Banner stated that if the Board decides to go
with the local firm, that decision will probably invalidate the Bureau's
participation in the project, as Federal regulations will not support a
project if the determining factor in the final decision is to choose a
local firm. CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD was to defer action on this matter
until the County Attorney is consulted regarding the legality of the
Board's decision in choosing a local firm, and the Bureau is apprised of
the situation and whether or not they will withdraw their funding.
2. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A PERSONAL COMPUTER PURCHASE: Mr. Ragsdale
requested Board approval for the purchase of three personal computers
for the Clerk's Office to be used for the transcription of Board of
County Commissioner Meetings and the Board of Equalization process. Mr.
Ragsdale requested financial assistance from the General Fund for this
purchase as these functions are performed in conjunction with the Board
of County Commissioners.
M O T I O N
Commissioner Disney moved that the Board approve the request for the
purchase of three personal computers for the Clerk and Recorder's Office
in the amount of $8,394; funds to be derived from the Capital Outlay
Fund.
Motion carried 3 - 0.
3. COMMISSIONER'S REPORTS:
Commissioner Duvall requested the LAPAC discussion be deferred until
after the Planning Meeting on Monday, May 17, 1993 to enable members of
the Planning Staff to attend. Discussion also will be held concerning
Colorado Memory Systems.
Commissioner Disney reported that it was noted at the CCI Urban District
Meeting that a workshop on school impact fees will be held at the CCI
Summer Conference.
4. WORKSESSION:
-- Park Permit Rates for Senior Citizens: Mr. Gordon noted that the
Parks Board reviewed the current policy of park permits regarding senior
citizens and recommended no change be made in the current policy.
During the summer of 1992, the Board agreed to begin phasing out the
senior reduced rate because they believe that age is not a basis for
reduction of rates. The Board believes that the current fees are
extremely reasonable for an elective activity such as visiting a
recreation area. CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD was to agree with the
recommendation of the Parks Board for no change in the current policy
with regard to park permits for senior citizens. However, at the next
Parks Board Meeting Commissioner Disney will encourage the Parks Board
to consider a policy whereby an individual with low income can apply for
a special discount.
5. DOCUMENT REVIEW: The following documents, of a routine nature, were
considered by the Board:
M O T I O N

week of May 3, 1993, and the Agenda for the week of May 17, 1993, as
submitted.

after the many devastating fires in 1988-89 and is composed of
representatives from the National Park Service, United States Forest
Service, Colorado State Forest Service, and the Larimer County Sheriff's
Department Emergency Services. Mr. Amos noted that their objective is
to educate mountain homeowners in the Estes Valley of the fire danger
associated with living in the urban interface and to show and assist the
landowners ways they can reduce the chance of wildfire destroying their
homes and properties.
Presentations were made from the various members of the Committee and
slides were shown of the before and after of what has been accomplished
to date; future projects were outlined. The possibility of not allowing
shake roofs in Larimer County was discussed; Commissioner Duvall would
like to have Planning Staff work with the Wildfire Committee in setting
requirements and conditions for building permit receipt in wildfire
areas.
The meeting recessed at 2:30 p.m.
MEETING REGARDING EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION
(#227)

array of gifts to be chosen for the longevity-award recipients for 1992
to select their gift and for each department to have a ceremony honoring
the recipients and their gifts presented; Board Members will attend the
ceremonies.
Other options discussed were: Presentation of Award Pins indicating
years of service; Gift Certificates; Selection of an Employee of the
Month Award. Other items discussed were whether or not plaques should
be continued for retirees; if a a new committee should be formed for
determination of employee recognition/longevity awards or can this
function be incorporated into an existing employee committee; etc.
Mr. Jacobs requested periodic meetings be scheduled with the Board to
discuss the many personnel items which occur each month; such as policy
changes, changes in the law, etc. CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD was to agree
to a regular monthly meeting with Personnel.
The meeting adjourned at 3:55 p.m.
