ITEMS:
RESOLUTION
NO. 2010-02, A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF DE BEQUE,
COLORADO, SUBMITTING TO THE REGISTERED ELECTORS VOTING IN THE REGULAR
MUNICIPAL ELECTION, TO BE HELD APRIL 6, 2010, A BALLOT ISSUE CONCERNING
WHETHER THE TOWN OF DE BEQUE SHOULD ADOPT A USE TAX FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF
USING AND CONSUMING IN THE TOWN OF DE BEQUE ANY CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING
MATERIALS PURCHASED AT RETAIL OUTSIDE THE TOWN.
Trustee Baker suggested forming a committee to educate the
town’s people on the Resolution. The tax is one that is already in place.
The tax dollars go to Mesa County rather than DeBeque.
This Ordinance would allow the Town of DeBeque to keep its
share of the money.
This is a Tabor issue and also involves de-brucing. After the
first year the Town can keep all of the taxes. There was discussion about
an error in the title. The title will be amended.
Trustee Baker made the motion to accept Resolution No.2010-02
with the amended title.
Trustee Locke seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous.
PUBLIC
HEARINGS:
Lot 2, Bonita Ranch Subdivision Annexation:
Lallo Investments, LLC Annexation
The public hearing was opened at 7:33 p.m. Neil Goluba was
present to represent Lallo Investments.
Mr. Smith explained to the board that this is the 5 acre
parcel located next to Sunland/MB.
They own 3 shares of Bluestone water. They will have to have
an access permit from CDOT to proceed. Mr. Goluba explained to the board that
this was going to be a trucking company. There would also be an office
area, service bay, wash bay, truck storage, and above ground fueling
station. Mr. Smith stated that their plan is consistent with the comp plan.
They have been working on the plans for over a year. A two year window has
been requested for the temporary building. Mr. Smith felt that was
reasonable. Trustee Baker commented
that since the Town has no acting Planning Board we need to be careful what
happens. She requested that the building not be a metal one. Also they need
to follow the landscaping requirements set forth by the Planning Board.
Mr. Goluba stated that these plans were all preliminary. Trustee Locke asked what the fuel tanks
were going to look like. Mr. Goluba said that all state and county regulations
would be followed. They will be above ground tanks that hold 10,000 gallons
of fuel. He assured the Board that Gazelle Trucking was all about safety.
Trustee Hansen asked about the request for Industrial zoning. Industrial
fits the trucking industry and Sunland is already zoned Industrial.
Mr. Sands stated that the company was looking for site plan
approval tonight.
There were no public comments.
The public hearing was closed at 7:45p.m.
ANNEXATION
AGREEMENT LALLO INVESTMENTS, LLC
There was Board discussion on the water rights issue. Trustee
Hansen wanted to know how the Town decides how many water rights they need.
Mr. Sands answered that it depends on EQR’s.
The EQR is based on the size and use of the building. If the
developer has no water rights they have to pay cash instead. The reason for
this is to insure the town can supply enough water for everyone in the future. Trustee Hansen
stated that the Town has made different deals with different people, and we
should be consistent with the agreement.
Trustee Hansen made the motion to accept the Lallo Annexation
agreement. Trustee Locke seconded the motion. All voted yes.

ZAROCO
ANNEXATION
Public hearing opened at 8:15p.m. Sandy Kent was representing Zaroco. The
request is to annex the 10 acres, and change the zoning to Service
Commercial. Ms. Kent stated that the developer wants to keep the water
rights for future ag use. Mr. Smith stated that no additional water rights
were needed on this property, as the existing building will stay the same
and nothing additional will be built. This is not consistent with what the Town
is doing with other water rights.
Ms. Kent stated that she would withdraw the application if the
water rights had to be conveyed to the town. The question was asked what
was really going to be on the property. Mr. Smith stated that the applicant
should give the Board a better idea of what the plan is for the property.
The neighbors do not want to see trucks on the property. Trustee Locke said
to keep it as is.
The decision was made to table the request. It will be
continued until the February meeting.

COMMENTS
Harold Brown 2055 45 Road, DeBeque stated that he has lived
here in the valley for two years.
He moved there because it is zoned Agriculture. He would like
to see it stay that way.
James Woodard 2022 45 Road, DeBeque said that he is opposed to
Service Commercial. He also bought and built where he did because it was
Agriculture. He wants it to stay the same.
Greg Moore 2044 45 Road, DeBeque is also opposed to the zoning
change. The valley needs to stay Agricultural. He also asked about the snow
plowing in the winter, and who was responsible for it.
Tom Latham stated that the Bluestone water is to used for
irrigation, use not for Commercial use.
Penny Walker-Moore said her concern is what they really
proposing to do with the land. There is no clear plan as to what is going
to happen with the property. There needs to be a concrete plan before any
decision is made.

district Plan. They presented the board with the revised plan, and the
Notice of Publication.
There was extensive discussion on the plan. The Board
requested one District not three.
Mr. Ela reassured the Board that nothing could change without
the Town’s consent.
Mr. Sands stated that the Town can keep track of the
development without a District. He also said a decision could not be made
tonight because there are too many loose ends.
The final IGA must address all these issues that are still
undecided.
Investment Banker Michael Lund discussed the investment part
of the project. He commented on how there was an advantage to working with
professionals, rather than “farm folks”.
He spoke of an incentive to keep the mil levy down to
encourage building.
