PUBLIC INPUT:

Gus Eykholt asked if the forest land in the 6^th filing is part of the potential public land sale. Gus stated that GVM has tried to buy this tract of land in the past and felt it would be wise for GVM look into the purchase of the tract. Bob Issaccson stated that only government agencies and nonprofit land trust organizations have the right to buy these properties. Linda Bell noted that the wording states government agencies and organizations have first pick.

There was also discussion concerning the proposed amendment concerning livestock regulations and how the new regulations will affect Glacier View. Bob Issaccson explained to the public what the changes mean. Legally established horse properties will not be affected by the new regulations. However if an existing use of a horse property is abandoned for three years it will fall under the new regulations.

Jim Petrie asked about the status of the shop or new building. Steve stated that because of the $20,000 it will cost to put up a covering for shop vehicles, the Board decided to wait and put that money towards a new building sometime in the future. Jim stated that in his opinion GVM has too many metal buildings and if possible any new construction should be wood.

OLD BUSINESS:

A. Grants for Eiger Road Maintenance: Steve spoke with Dale Miller of Larimer County Road Dept and a person in the County revolving loan department. Mr. Miller made it clear that the County has no intention sharing the cost of maintaining Eiger Road because Eiger Road is an un-maintained road deeded to Glacier View Meadows.

4. Larimer County Proposed Land Use Code amendments. (See public input) This amendment could affect several lots within Glacier View Meadows. Some of the two horse lots will become one horse lots.
