PLANNING:
E5 1) APPROVE REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF RECORDING THE PLAT PERMITTED UNDER
USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT, USR12-0034 - BB COLORADO HOLDINGS, LLC: Michelle
Martin, Department of Planning Services, introduced the applicant's request for an extension until
January 5, 2014, as outlined in a letter dated January 5, 2013; the Department of Planning Services
recommends approval of a one-year extension because the applicant has been diligently working on
meeting the conditions. El Glen Czaplewski, AGPROfessionals, represented the applicant and said
they are asking for a longer than usual extension primarily because Condition D requires that an
engineer certify the condition of the waste -water ponds in an as -built condition, but that all other
conditions should be completed well before this time. In response to Commissioner Conway,
Mr. Czaplewski stated they are relatively confident they can get the ponds completed in that time
period. Commissioner Kirkmeyer said she understands that the ponds take time, and asked why the
applicant did not originally ask for more than 120 days. E9 Troy Swain, Department of Public Health
and Environment, gave a history of these requirements and stated a one-year extension is reasonable.
h Terry Enright, Kerr-McGee Oil and Gas, stated they appreciated (as the mineral owners) the
cooperation of the surface owner and have no objections. Mr. Swain added that there was a complaint
lodged this morning which alleged the wastewater pond is being built in the wrong location, and he
reported staff will be looking into that with measurements. Commissioner Rademacher moved to
approve said extension. The motion, which was seconded by Commissioner Freeman, carried
unanimously. Commissioner Kirkmeyer expressed concern that the surface use agreement and

Director of Planning. Commissioner Conway concurred.

Consent Agenda. No Ordinances were approved.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted
by the Acting Clerk to the Board.
