Re: Current Use Assessment Applications for Open Space by Alex U. Bergeson
Gentlemen:
For your review and information, I have made an abstract on the steps taken in
processing Alex Bergeson's applications for current use assessment. Mr. Bergeson was
sent a copy of the open space policies of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan a
week after his application was referred to the Jefferson County Planning Department,
May 31, 1979. The applicant was asked in writing on three separate occasions to
demonstrate that his applications comply with the policies of the Jefferson County
Comprehensive Plan. No response was received. The applicant was present at the
Jefferson County Planning Commission's meeting September 5, 1979, to present his views.
The Commission recommended to your Board you approve the open space requests. Your
Board tabled the applications on September 17, 1979, and again on September 24, 1979,
until Mr. Bergeson could be present. On October 1, 1979, Mr. Bergeson was present.
Your Board explained to Mr. Bergeson that conditions for public use must be applied
before the Board would consider approval of his applications.
As directed by your Board, I have prepared conditions of public use to be included
in your consideration of the applications. The Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan
specifies that applications for current use assessment for open space should be
approved only if the general taxpaying public of Jefferson County will receive reason-
able benefits commensurate with the anticipated reduction in property tax for the land
seeking approval . At current assessment and levy, Mr. Bergeson's taxes would be
reduced a total of $97.38 if both applications were approved. The following conditions
may provide the general taxpaying public with some benefits, while conserving the
natural and scenic resources of the property.
1. The property shall not be posted prohibiting trespassing or hunting and the public
shall have access for recreational purposes.
2. The trailer shall be removed from the property. (Please note this condition only
applies to application No. 1-79. )
3. Timber shall not be harvested while the agreement is in effect.
4. The following sign shall be posted at the intersection of the property and County
Road No. 16-19. 18, Emil Road: NOTICE This property is designated as open space
under Jefferson County Current Use Assessment Agreement for Open Space, No. 1-79,
na_ i,A fit, 2034
October 15, 1979
Jefferson County Board of Commissioners Page 2
and is available for public access for recreational purposes.
5. The above stated sign shall be designed, constructed, and posted to be readable
from County Road No. 16-19. 18 and maintained in a readable condition for the dura-
tion of the agreement.
6. Failure to post or maintain the above statedsign shall constitute grounds for
termination of the agreement.
