I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, 00:08:32
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 00:08:38
Good morning and welcome to today's regularly scheduled well County Board of Commissioners meeting. Today is March 4th, 9:00 AM 00:08:51
Roll call, please. 00:08:55
Mike Freeman, Scott Dean. 00:09:00
Payback Kevin Ross here. Let the record reflect 5 out of five commissioners are here today. Do we have any amendments to today's 00:09:05
agenda? I do, Mr. Chair. 00:09:10
Like they'll pass that off. I had a couple of phone calls, actually about three or four, with some concerns about sanctuary 00:09:15
counties and some view of. 00:09:20
Possibly some migrants camping outside the towns of Gilcrest and Platteville and whereas the governor has signed some of these 00:09:26
bills that are definitely considered sanctuary laws that hobbled our law enforcement. 00:09:31
And have hobbled our justice system and whereas the Biden administration has failed to. 00:09:36
You know, keep our borders safe, keep our people safe, allowing human trafficking. I would ask that we pass this resolution that 00:09:42
will counties, not a sanctuary county for the federal immigration crisis. And we ask that our Congress secure funding for safety 00:09:49
and sovereignty of our country by expanding a secure border wall and barriers. 00:09:56
Gambling, Trump administration policy says, such as safe third countries, Title 42 and freezing party the countries unwilling to 00:10:03
enforce their borders. There's some of these borders that don't take visas. They come in through those countries with the express 00:10:08
intent of coming to the United States. 00:10:13
Is that a motion, Commissioner Singh? I'll make that motion, Sir. Thank you. 00:10:25
There's a motion on the floor from Commissioner saying is there a second? 00:10:32
So I would like to, I'm not in disagreement with where Commissioner saying is going on this, but I would at least like the 00:10:36
opportunity to read what's in this before I just vote on it. So I would recommend that maybe we pulled this off till Wednesday. 00:10:42
Appreciate the fact that the County Attorney at least gets to look at what's in this. 00:11:22
I agree. I think it's an issue that needs to be looked at, but I would like an opportunity to spend more time. 00:11:27
On this resolution or something else? So on a legal matter? Legal basis? I've had several calls myself, I guess I'd be echoing. 00:11:34
Commissioner James, Commissioner Freeman's sentiments talks with the sheriff, talks with the attorney. It is that information 00:11:44
that's out there in any way that's saying, well, county, sanctuary county. But I would like time to review this and I would 00:11:49
appreciate putting it on Wednesday's agenda after it's been vetted and and able to to review. So if there's no second for putting 00:11:55
it on today's agenda. 00:12:00

2023-18 In the Matter of Repealing and Reenacting with Amendments, Chapter 27. 00:29:16
Planned unit development of the Wall County Code. 00:29:21
Good morning. Good morning, commissioners. Elizabeth Railford, Planning Department. Today obviously on your agenda is second 00:29:26
reading of Ordinance 20/23/18 for Chapter 27 PD. While staff had initially tried to look at having another public meeting with 00:29:32
developers on February 29th on your agenda, we had not. 00:29:39
We were not able to get that notification out actually to the developers. It was more of a placeholder on the calendar and since 00:29:47
we haven't been able to get that follow up meeting from what you have requested or you discussed at the previous meeting in 00:29:51
December. 00:29:55
We were going to recommend that you continue second reading so that we can continue not just this dialogue, A dialogue with our 00:30:01
municipalities to discuss urban versus rural as well because obviously we've got a lot of stakeholders that were trying to get 00:30:08
around and meet with so that we can recommend the best subdivision tool for the unincorporated areas of World County. You did 00:30:15
receive letters requesting A continuance as well from some of these developers and we would staff would. 00:30:22
Support that request for continuance till late April or whatever date you. 00:30:31
Would like to see. 00:30:36
Any questions for Elizabeth or planning staff Commissioner? Saying so, I'd ask you specifically about the agenda for that. Never 00:30:40
received anything back and I'm pretty sure that if we had a date on the 28th. 00:30:46
I'm pretty sure some of the developers in this room would have made it or sent somebody to speak on that or at least to listen in 00:30:52
on that stakeholder meeting. So I mean, I'm going to just repeat what you said. You cancelled the stakeholder meeting because you 00:30:57
said you could not get noticed to developers. We had never set one officially. We had identified a placeholder on the 00:31:02
Commissioners calendar, but we had not sent notification out to anybody that we were having another meeting. 00:31:07
So that hadn't been coordinated. There was number agenda to share because we hadn't put one together because we hadn't identified 00:31:13
for sure the date that we were going to notify the developers of a follow up meeting. 00:31:18
I'm sorry. 00:31:24
We we told these folks that we were going to have another stakeholder meeting before second reading. Here we are with second 00:31:27
reading. So I'm. 00:31:30
I'm not sure I I don't understand why I didn't receive an answer back to that. I think that's what's being said today though we're 00:31:33
not ready for a second reading and that's why recommendation is to continue second reading because we haven't had the public 00:31:38
stakeholder additional meetings like had been discussed Mr. site. 00:31:43
I think it would be good for a director to get back to me though when I ask a question because I'm anticipating how the 00:31:49
stakeholder meeting on the 28th. 00:31:52
And so it'd be good to let people know what's going on. And again, I would, I would go ahead and urge this board. 00:31:56
To continue this until we have that stakeholder meeting, I think that's very important. I think we have people in the room today 00:32:04
that would very much like to have input on this before we take this vote. 00:32:08
The only comment that I would make is, you know, I think everybody's in agreement that the PUD process needs to go away. That's 00:32:14
not, that's not, it's not a good process, it doesn't work. We just saw three of them pulled today. We're sending today because 00:32:19
they don't make sense so. 00:32:23
Well, I'm fine with continuing the second reading on Chapter 27. I don't think Chapter 27 is the issue. I think it's a 00:32:30
conversation going forward with Chapter 23 and Chapter 24, which I'm more than willing to have that conversation. But I don't 00:32:36
think Chapter 27 is the issue I think everybody's going to agree with. The PUD process needs to go away, that being said. 00:32:42
I will support continuing this today. I don't think we need a stakeholders meeting on Chapter 27. I think it's on the other two. 00:32:49
That probably is what's needed. But that being said, I'll support the continuation. 00:32:54
Take that motion formally then. 00:33:01
And I would move to continue code ordinance 20/23/18 until somebody give me a date. 00:33:04
We need 60 days. Do we need 90 days? What do you think staff that would be a proponent of 90? 00:33:16
Looking 90 days in the future, that would put us at UH. 00:33:21
June 3rd. 00:33:27
You know, you can even go June 5th. 00:33:30
2024 three months ahead. 00:33:32
OK, so I will make that motion to go to continue this item until June 6th, Commissioner. 00:33:36
2024 All right. There's a motion on the floor for continuous for approximately 90 days with June 5th, 9:00 AM from Commissioner 00:33:44
Freeman, second by Commissioner James. 00:33:48
Further discussion. 00:33:53
All right. Hearing none, all those in favor, I guess we do need to open this up, don't we through. Yeah. My apologies there. 00:33:56
Question is. 00:34:04
When is CCI that that's going to be that immediate? Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, after the Labored Memorial Week is probably what 00:34:07
this is. So let's. 00:34:12
No, it's it's so he's right after, I think. 00:34:23
You don't have to do it the following week at June June 12th. So seven days after June 5th is June 12th OK? I would be. I would 00:34:30
remake the motion to continue code Ordinance 2023 dash 18 until June 12th 2024 at 9:00 AM. 00:34:38
I believe in response for development in Weld County and I think there's a process for doing so. 00:35:50
I will make a note that the only way I can provide law enforcement services to those critical areas is if I have the funding in 00:35:56
order to do so. 00:35:59
Right now we are struggling to provide. 00:36:03
Staffing for my agency. And so that is a point of contention with any future developments, but all those things have to be 00:36:07
considered in a holistic view. So I just wanted to state for the record that I'm not opposed to development of Web County. It just 00:36:12
needs to be done in a responsible manner. Thank you. Thank you, Sheriff. 00:36:17
Any other additional comments from the public they'd wish to make towards the continuation of code Ordinance 23, Dash 18? Good 00:36:23
morning, Sir. I'm with the West Side Investments, 4100 E Mississippi Ave. Denver. I'm just here to thank all of you this morning 00:36:30
for agreeing to delay this. You guys talked about state court meetings at the at the last session. You're keeping to your word. We 00:36:36
appreciate it. 00:36:43
And and and we very much appreciate the time that many of you have spent with us to hear our concerns and we look forward to 00:36:51
having a, you know, a new process in place for new development, development applications. 00:36:56
Thank you very much, Sir. Any further comment? 00:37:02
Good morning. Good morning. Thank you. Andrew Gargin, I'm with Phil Real Estate. I represent the Shack family who owned acreage in 00:37:12
Weld County at County Road 2 and 13. 00:37:17
Not us. We're Kenny, 02 and 13. 00:37:57
There's a 300 acres right there on just north of Adams County. Theoretically informs annexation area that they have said they do 00:38:03
not want to annex obviously has to do with the water issues in Lambour County, so. 00:38:10
My other ways for having you confused. All right, thank you for the clarification. Any further comment. 00:38:18
We'll go here 1st and then then you're in black jacket, Sir. 00:38:27
Good morning. My name is Mike Hensley. I'm with Northern Colorado Home Builders Association. We're at 1907 N Boise Ave. in 00:38:31
Loveland. And I'll just echo what's already been said. We're grateful for the continuation here. We really appreciate the 00:38:37
Commission taking the time to get this right. It's a big policy, impacts a lot of us and we appreciate your attention and look 00:38:43
forward to the ability to work, work with US stakeholders on this issue. Thanks, Mike. 00:38:49
Hello, my name is Karan Sack and yes I'm with Sarah Tran. I just want to bring in the point of view of a farmer, which I am. 00:38:57
And we're right on the border. And all I kind of want to say is this is not a broad brush. 00:39:05
Was what it should be for this PD situation. 00:39:11
Certain places the farm does not work. 00:39:15
Anymore, due to a lot of circumstances, I love the farm. I don't mind staying in the farm. 00:39:18
But unfortunately it does not work there. There's a problem with traffic, there's a problem with equipment. 00:39:26
I could go on and on and on and I won't because I appreciate all your time. Thank you so much. Thank you, Sir. 00:39:33
Any other public comment, Sir? 00:39:39
Good morning, commissioners. Thank you for your time. I appreciate it and we appreciate what you're doing. I am Rodney Steele and 00:39:46
my wife, Karen, she's here in spirit. She's doing taxes today. 00:39:52
Your address please, Sir, 20759 Highway 392. Thank you, Ron. OK, we're a private entity. We have some farming ground and we have 00:40:00
two buildings and we're in the process of trying to make some right decisions to. 00:40:08
So the pad affects us a little bit because we've been involved with that. So I just want to read what we wrote here. 00:40:17
Dear Well County Board of Commissioners, as a property owner in Love County, we are arguing you not to make any significant 00:40:25
changes to our county codes without talking to those impacted first. 00:40:30
By taking away the current. 00:40:37
Process both. Any property owners like us would be severely limited. 00:40:39
It's not outright prohibited to sell off commercial part of our land and maintain farming as part of our property. 00:40:45
In fact, this proposal runs completely contrary to the principle of Fair and predictable property rights for farmers and ranchers 00:40:54
and love County. 00:40:59
And we ask that you delay any decision on this matter before the board. 00:41:04
Do not approve the spread removal ordinance without talking to Norwell County property owners first. You need to have more 00:41:09
critical stakeholder meetings and engagement with farmers, ranchers and other members of world agriculture community before an 00:41:17
early changing the rules suddenly on property owners in our country county. Sorry. 00:41:24
So speaking as a small person, we're just asking for continued thought process on this in order for it to work applicable for. 00:41:33
Some of the smaller folks who are out here, I'm not. I'm not a home hiring person anyway, sorry. 00:41:45
Your time. Appreciate you. 00:42:21
Anybody else wish? 00:42:22
I would like to say I'm pleased, if you don't mind. I got that. They take him a microphone to accommodate. Well, no, it's our 00:42:24
process. We got to have a microphone, Sir. 00:42:28
It's all recorded. 00:42:34
Well, I'm Albert, SEC junior we've been on. 00:42:36
Excuse me, 6775 County Road 2. 00:42:41
And we call it Brighton, but we are in the farthest area. 00:42:46
Of Weld County that you can be you step over the middle of the line you're in Adams County. 00:42:52
Here I just want to emphasize everything else that these people have said. 00:42:57
We do thank you for for canceling the vote today. It was premature to have a vote. 00:43:02
We are here. 00:43:11
To try to get across how important it is to proceed the way we have, we've been working on this. 00:43:14
Working on this plan for since 2006, six since my dad died, we have had other contracts and they fail. 00:43:24
This one finally we have good developers and here the cancellation of our PUD 2023. 00:43:34
Would devastate us and would. 00:43:44
Shut down. 00:43:47
Everything that we worked for as a family. 00:43:49
Here our families big. 00:43:53
You're working with somebody out in Hudson. It's a cousin. 00:43:55
Our SAC family is very well known. My dad was a German ditch or not German dish, but Michael, president for 20 years. 00:43:59
Albert Sachs senior here. This is my son, The. 00:44:09
Here we still plan on falling, we still plan on trying to take care of our farm, but we need this PUD we think is we knew it's in 00:44:13
place to further. 00:44:19
Our plans? 00:44:26
So please look at it one more time and get out to the people and talk to him. 00:44:27
Before you make any plans, you will find out. There's many people I can start naming names that I've talked to and they're all in 00:44:34
with me. I'm trying to get things in place so we can further our our development in our area. OK, Thank you. I talk a lot. 00:44:42
Appreciate it. Thank you for brewing that. 00:44:49
Nope. Happy to accommodate. 00:44:58
Yesterday for taking out of any other public comment. 00:45:00
OK, seeing no further public comment, I'll go ahead and close public comment regarding the second reading continuance of Code 00:45:04
Ordinance 23, Dash 18. 00:45:08
And bring it back to the board. 00:45:13
And we're looking at maybe even enhancing that, enhancing that process a little bit going forward. I just am not supportive of 00:46:23
huge residential development in unincorporated Lowell County. So that's, that's that's all I wanted to say. 00:46:30
Commissioner said, So I had on stats, I've been, we've had conversations and I've been asking and pushing for us to do a work 00:46:37
session or some kind of stakeholdering session on 2324 and 27. I think we should just go ahead and cancel second reading and 3rd 00:46:43
grading and get this done right, like we should have the first time. We obviously have a lot of people that this is going to 00:46:49
affect and I think they can help us make a better decision to make the process better. 00:46:55
Well, I think that's kind of what we've just done. As we continue this one till June, we can work on 23 and 24 and and you know 00:47:03
they can run concurrently except that you'll be one reading behind I guess on 23 and 24 unless you want to schedule first reading 00:47:09
on that prior to when we do second reading on 27 then and then combine them. I mean that's something that we can have as a 00:47:16
discussion as of the board. And I'm Commissioner Ross, I mean Chairman Ross, I guess. 00:47:22
I want, I'm not meaning to step in on on you here, but that's kind of what I'm thinking. I think you'd probably believe us have a 00:47:29
work session with planning and have those discussions so that we can get informed as a board and and give some direction back to 00:47:36
staff maybe in in what first of all hear what they have to say, what they've been working on and then secondly give them further 00:47:44
direction and then we can go into the reading process. Commissioner James, I already had nothing additional to add as far as. 00:47:51
The intent of of. 00:47:59
Of continuing this, I certainly support the intent just so you know, I will be a no vote. Not because I don't support the intent 00:48:02
because it continues with that pending ordinance. Dr. And which always if I'm to be consistent in my voting, I will have to be no 00:48:08
because of the POD which I allowed to support her up. But I am a fan of continuing the conversation and making sure that we not 00:48:14
only get the unwinding of the PUD correct, but any sort of future. 00:48:21
Codes on on 23 and 24 correct as well so. 00:48:28
All right. 00:48:31
Fair enough. Further discussion. All right. Roll call though, please. 00:48:34
Mike Freeman. 00:48:39
Yes, Scott, James, what are you saying the motion to continue, correct motion to continue to June 12th at 9:00 AM. I'll go ahead 00:48:40
and continue, but I'll be a no vote on the ordinance itself. 00:48:46
So that's a yes, yes. 00:48:52
Hey, back. Yes, Kevin Ross. Yes, let the record reflect. 00:48:55
Continuance of Code Ordinance 2023, Dash 18 till June 12th and 9:00 AM. Carries 4 to one with Commissioner James Desanti. Thank 00:49:01
you very much staff. Appreciate it. This brings us to public comment. Is there anybody in the public that wishes to speak about 00:49:07
anything not on today's agenda? Please feel forward to come to the podium here and address the commissioners. Keep your comments 00:49:13
to 3 minutes and state your name and address for the record. 00:49:20
Seeing no further public comment, we'll go ahead and adjourn our meeting and we'll let the, we'll let the Houston catch up here. 00:49:28
So that we go to. 00:49:33
Our CBH CD CDBG hearing. 00:49:39
And today, we appreciate you. 00:49:44
