Proposed use for property located at, 11455 WCR 17 Longmont, CO.
1.
Proposed use is an orchard and Cidery that makes hard apple cider on site. This would include planting
of approximately 10 ac of orchard, utilizing the existing 5000 sq ft metal building on site to make the
cider. We are proposing a seasonal tasting room and a small venue for weddings or similar uses (3-4
moths yr) with the ability of converting the tasting room into a year round facility. Tasting room will be
operational from mid May or later
(weather dependent) until Oct 31 as closing day. Hours of operation for the tasting room will be from
2PM until 8PM M -S Closed on Sunday. Tasting room is really a patio in front of the production
building for people to sit and enjoy a taste of cider. We will provide a porta potty for tasting room
people as long as it is a seasonal event. In the future when it becomes a year round indoor tasting room
we will provide indoor restroom facilities. At that point we will obtain a building permit for the
modifications necessary to accommodate the tasting room including a septic system to accommodate
projected increased hydraulic loads.
Venue will be open from mid May through mid September and portable toilets will be provided for the
venue during the season. Portable toilets from the venue will remain on site for seasonal workers
through harvest season. ( late September through October)
2. Proposed use is consistent with WCC Chapter 22 as this is promoting agricultural industries
within the county.
3. Property is located in a A Zoning and proposed use is consistent with intent of chapter 23 as
stated in code below.
The A (Agricultural) Zone District is intended to provide areas for the conduct of
agricultural activities and activities related to agriculture and agricultural production without the
interference of other, incompatible land USES.
4. Property's surrounding the subject property include a mixture of, residential and agricultural
uses as well as gas and oil wells.
5. a. It is difficult to speculate the amount of people who will use this site as it is a new business
with no historical data regarding visits. Our best guess would be 10 people per day with the exception
of special events.
b. The business will require 4 to 5 full time employees including 3 owners and additional
seasonal employees during harvest. One owner will reside full time on in the existing residence.
In addition to the full time employees there will be a need for 4 additional part time employees
necessary for packaging operations twice monthly(approx 8 days per month).
c. Hours of operation will be normal business hours with exception of harvest. Typically
7AM to 8PM. Harvest season hours of operation will be dawn to dusk. (late September
through October possibly into Nov depending on the year)
d. At present no additional structures will need to be erected but, in the future we propose
to expand the existing metal structure an additional 5000 sq ft or construct a detached building of
similar size. The use of the additional warehouse is for storing juice, packaging materials and finished
product. Proposed building envelope for additional sq ft is shown on plat. Also in the future we would
like to build a garage that would service the residence as well as farm equipment and possibly an
axillary structure for housing. Possible uses for auxiliary structure are, housing for orchard operations,
dressing rooms for weddings, receptions and things of that nature. Location for the proposed
garage/housing is shown on the plat as existing concrete pad just west of the existing house. We would
utilize the existing pad for the purpose of constructing the garage/housing on.
e. No animals other than domestic are planned on the property.
f A access permit has been obtained from the town of Firestone that states expected
vehicle usage. A copy has been provided in submittal.
Fire protection is provided by Mountain View fire district.
h. The property is currently served by domestic well. We are in the process of connecting
to district water and hope to have meter set and connected by the time USR process is completed.
j. Sewage is existing septic system.
6. There are no proposed landscaping changes at this time.
7. No special procedures are planned if USR is terminated as property can continue to be utilized
as agricultural land with no modifications after USR is terminated.
8. See Historical water flow attached.
9. Expected time for proposed full development may be 5 years.
10. Waste is addressed in waste handling plan attached.

Traffic Report
Traffic expected at the Cidery will consist mainly of private vehicles of owners, employees and tasting
room customers. We anticipate approximately 20 cars a day on days the tasting room is open and less
on days when its just owners and employees.
Delivery of products is expected to be one full size semi truck/trailer every two weeks.
An occasional FedEx or UPS delivery is expected also.
Shipments from Cidery will be one to two trucks per week when we reach full capacity.
Additionally there will be a small delivery van that will be utilized having no more than one trip
to/from the Cidery per day to make local deliveries.
All traffic is expected to access CR 17 from the south off of CR 24 as it has direct access to I25. No
deliveries are anticipated along the route within the county from anything other than the van.
An access permit has been obtained from the Town of Firestone to access CR 17.
Historic water flows
The low point on the property lyes on the north property line approximately 450ft from the NE
property corner.
There is gentle slope from CR 17 flowing to the NW to the low point as well as from the west, flowing
in a NE direction to the low point stated above. All water flows drain out of subject property at the low
point or into the irrigation ditch shown on plat.
There is a small amount of surface water that originates on the property to the south and flows onto
subject property.
There is a irrigation ditch that runs across the property (shown on plat) entering the property on the S
property line approximately 400ft from the SE corner of the property. Ditch flows in a W direction as
it enters the property from the SE and turning to the N that will collect any storm water S and W of it
and prevent it from flowing past it.
Proposed use of property will not effect surface water flows from current use in any way as we plan no
change in grade.
Proposed new building in future should not effect flows significantly as there will be no change in
grade.
We are unaware of any drainage problems associated with the property.
Water quality feature will be provided at location shown on plat, conforming to the Urban Storm
Drainage Criteria Vol 3 Sec 3.3.0.
Dust Abatement Plan
Dust from vehicle traffic will be controlled by placing recycled asphalt in primary parking lot at E side
of building as shown on plat map. Existing drive is recycled asphalt and will not need further changes
to mitigate dust.
The proposed parking area is less than I acre where recycled asphalt will be installed.
Overflow parking areas (shown on plat as event parking) which are used exclusively for seasonal
events are currently native grasses or will be seeded with native grasses and will be maintained as such.
There will be several years before special events are scheduled to take place, giving the seeded areas
time to mature.
Proposed is a .5 ac venue in the orchard that will be foot traffic only and will be grass.
There will be a foot path from parking areas to proposed venue that will be mulched to prevent dust.
Water and Waste Handling Plan
Rocky Mountain Cider Co.
11455 CR 17 Firestone, Co 80504
Purpose,
The purpose of the plan is to project the quantities and types of waste that will be generated through
operation of the Facility and to detail the management and disposal of this waste.
Solid wast produced on the premises will be a very limited amount from day to day operations and will
be removed by Wast Management Co located at, 7780 E. 96th Ave Henderson, CO 80640
on a weekly basis. Waste containers will be stored indoors until pickup day.
Products delivered to the property will be primarily in recyclable containers (Cardboard and plastic)
and will be recycled at the Longmont recycle facility located at, 140 Martin St Longmont, CO 80504
Rocky Mountain Cider Co will be responsible for transporting and delivering recyclable materials to
recycle facility on an as needed basis. All material will be stored indoors until it is transported to
facility.
Incoming pallets will be reused to ship finished product on and will not require any waste disposal.
In approximately 5 years when the orchard has matured we will start to process apples to make juice on
site.
All wast materials that result from processing will be composted on site and compost will be used to
augment on site soil in the orchard.
Water and a small amount of cleaning solution are the only materials expected to go into floor drains.
Cleaning solution will be stored within the building.
Floor drains currently drain into a vault. The volume of liquid draining into the vault will be monitored
for 4 months. The reason for monitoring is to determine whether existing septic system would have the
capacity to accommodate the additional volume of water or would need to be expanded. Currently
septic is sized for 150g per day. If it is determined by an engineer after 4 months that existing system
would be able to process the additional volume, the plumbing from floor drains will be redirected from
the vault to septic tank. If flow exceeds the amount of capacity of existing system, the system will be
redesigned and enlarged to accommodate the additional flow or we would continue to utilize the vault.
Current Septic permit if is SP -0300396.
Water,
A feasibility study has been completed by Central Weld County Water District and a copy of the letter
confirming availability is attached in USR packet. It is anticipated that by the time we complete the
USR process the water meter will be set and and connected to the district water source.

HI Tiffane,
I have attached a lighting plan. As I mentioned previously we plan on using solar
led lights around the parking areas.
There will be no change to lighting on the building. We will have some type of down
lighting on the sign that will be mounted
on the truck that will be parked near the drive entry close to the road.

Hii Tiffane,
I have attached revised USR questionnaire and waste plan and have highlighted
the changes on them.
As far as signage we plan to have an old 40s or 50 truck parked at the drive and
paint a sign on that. If something should change in a year or two could we apply for
a permit at that point and put something on the building as well?
I will work on a lighting plan and submit that as well but, we do not anticipate much
more than some smaller solar powered led lights.
The process of making Hard Cider begins with taking apple juice at the correct temperature, and
adding the yeast of choice. The Juice will then ferment. The amount of alcohol is dependent different
variables and will change slightly with every batch but will produce less than 7% alcohol by volume.
Once the juice is fermented into hard cider, the cider is then ran through a series of filtration's in
order to get a clear, and stable product.
Once the series of filtration's are completed, the cider is either put into cold storage, or is pumped
into a mixing tank. The mixing tank allows for the addition of flavors such as fruit essence and
sweeteners along with the overall blending of the cider for each specific product.
Once blended, the cider is pumped into a Pressure tank where it is lowered to near freezing
temperature. Once chilled, the cider is carbonated with CO2.
Once carbonated, the cider will either be put into Stainless steel kegs, or pumped into the canning
line to be packaged for distribution.
Once package in either Kegs, or cans, the product is kept cool until shipment.
Annual production is estimated at 150,000 gal.
Thanks, Adam
