Case Summary/Description: The applicant is proposing a water depot facility where trucks will obtain
water for use in support of oil and gas operations. Proposed site improvements will consist of water boxes
that will house a hose and a valve, onsite lighting, a trash can and a portable toilet. Trucks will enter and
exit the facility from Weld County 380. Trucks will enter from the northwest entrance, fill up at the filling
station, and leave from the southeast entrance. The applicant is indicating a total of 75 trucks would enter
and leave the facility on a daily basis (150 total trips). Of these trips the applicant is estimating that 80%
of the truck trips (120 trips) will be coming to the site from the east and 20% (30 trips) of the truck trips will
be coming from the west. The applicants are proposing to operate the facility 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year.
THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE
APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 23-2-260

applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect.
Section 22-2-20.G A.Policy 7.2. Conversion of agricultural land to nonurban residential,
commercial and industrial uses should be accommodated when the subject site is in an
area that can support such development, and should attempt to be compatible with the
USR13-0030, United Water & Sanitation, Page 2
region.
Section 22-2-80 C. I.Goal 3. Consider how transportation infrastructure is affected by the
impacts of new or expanding industrial developments."
Section 22-2-80 D. I.Goal 4. All new industrial development should pay its own way.
1. I.Policy 4.1. New development should pay for the additional costs associated
with those services directly impacted by the new industrial development.
The proposed facility is located approximately 500 -feet from the nearest residence to the
northwest of the site. All of the nearest residences are located to the northeast of the site.
There are a number of Conditions of Approval and Development Standards to mitigate
and minimize the impacts of the facility. The Department of Planning Services is requiring
a lighting plan, the Department of Environmental Health is requiring a Development
Standard that requires the applicant to adhere to the non -specified noise standard (55
decibels from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM and 50 decibels from 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM), and an
Offsite Road Maintenance and Improvements Agreement is being required by the

being required by the Department of Public Works to address road maintenance, road
damage caused by the operation and road improvements.

development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zoning and with the
future development as projected by Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code and any other
applicable code provisions or ordinances in effect, or the adopted Master Plans of

28. WELD COUNTY'S RIGHT TO FARM: Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural
counties in the United States, typically ranking in the top ten counties in the country in total
market value of agricultural products sold. The rural areas of Weld County may be open and
spacious, but they are intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must
recognize and accept there are drawbacks, including conflicts with long-standing agricultural
practices and a lower level of services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come the
incentives which attract urban dwellers to relocate to rural areas: open views, spaciousness,
wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the rural atmosphere and way of life. Without
neighboring farms, those features which attract urban dwellers to rural Weld County would quickly
be gone forever.
Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long-established agricultural
practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area. Well -run agricultural
activities will generate off -site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment; slow -moving
farm vehicles on rural roads; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest and gravel roads; odor
from animal confinement, silage and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and mosquitoes;
hunting and trapping activities; shooting sports, legal hazing of nuisance wildlife; and the use of
pesticides and fertilizers in the fields, including the use of aerial spraying. It is common practice
for agricultural producers to utilize an accumulation of agricultural machinery and supplies to
assist in their agricultural operations. A concentration of miscellaneous agricultural materials
often produces a visual disparity between rural and urban areas of the County. Section 35-3.5-
102, C.R.S., provides that an agricultural operation shall not be found to be a public or private
nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be a nuisance employs methods or practices that
are commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural production.
Water has been, and continues to be, the lifeline for the agricultural community. It is unrealistic to
assume that ditches and reservoirs may simply be moved "out of the way" of residential
development. When moving to the County, property owners and residents must realize they
cannot take water from irrigation ditches, lakes, or other structures, unless they have an
adjudicated right to the water.
Weld County covers a land area of approximately four thousand (4,000) square miles in size
(twice the size of the State of Delaware) with more than three thousand seven hundred (3,700)
miles of state and county roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be
served stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints
more than on patrols of the County, and the distances which must be traveled may delay all
emergency responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire protection is usually
provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies.
County gravel roads, no matter how often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of
surface expected from a paved road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions
to arterials may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Services in rural areas,
in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services. Rural dwellers must, by necessity, be
more self-sufficient than urban dwellers.
USR13-0030, United Water & Sanitation, Page 8
People are exposed to different hazards in the County than in an urban or suburban setting.
Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps
and center pivot operations, high speed traffic, sandburs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs and
livestock, and open burning present real threats. Controlling children's activities is important, not
only for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood.

2013 at 10:00 a.m. Both hearings will be held in the Hearing Room, Weld County Administration
Building, 1150 O Street, Greeley, Colorado. It is recommended that you and/or a representative be in
attendance to answer any questions the Planning Commission members or Board of County
Commissioners may have.
Colorado Revised Statute, C.R.S.24-65.5-103 (adopted as part of H.B.01-1088) requires notification of
all mineral estate owners 30 days prior to any public hearing. The applicant needs to provide the Weld
County Planning Department with written certification indicating the above requirement has been met.
A representative from the Department of Planning Services will be out to the property a minimum of ten
days prior to the hearing to post a sign adjacent to and visible from a publicly maintained road
right-of-way which identifies the hearing time, date, and location. In the event the property is not
adjacent to a publicly maintained road right-of-way, one sign will be posted in the most prominent place
on the property and a second sign posted at the point at which the driveway (access drive) intersects a
publicly maintained road right-of-way.
The Department of Planning Services' staff will make a recommendation concerning this application to
the Weld County Planning Commission and will be included in the staff report one week prior to the
