Legal Lot A of Recorded Exemption RECX12-0082 being part of the E2NE4 Section 26,
Description: T12N, R63W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, CO
Location: North of and adjacent to County Road 136.5 and west and adjacent to County Road 71
Size of Parcel: +/- 23 acres Parcel No. 0043-26-1-00-013
Description of Use:
Originally the parcel was 80 acres in size. The use outlined above was approved under USR-1772 and
the plat was recorded on November 22, 2011. In 2012 the applicant split the property with RECX12-0082
creating two parcels; the northern parcel (Lot B) will retain USR-1772 and the improvements on the south
side (Lot A) will be owned and managed by Meadowlark Midstream Company, LLC formerly known as
Bear Tracker Energy and this #USR13-0002.
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
of the Weld County Code.
2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has shown
compliance with Section 23-2-220 of the Weld County Code as follows:
A. Section 23-2-220.A.1 - The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other
applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect.
Section 22-6-20.C.1 - ECON.Policy 1.1. Promote the expansion and diversification of the
industrial economic base to achieve a well-balanced industrial sector in order to provide a
stable tax base and a variety of job opportunities for County citizens.
Section 22-2-80.D - I. Goal 4 states, "All new industrial development should pay its own
way."
The applicant will be responsible for covering all costs for all on -site and any applicable off -
site improvements associated with this use, as required through the Improvements
Agreement and Conditions of Approval.
USR13-0002, page 2 of 10
Section 22-2-20.G.2 - A.Policy 7.2 states, "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 region."
Section 22-2-201. A.Goal States: "Reduce potential conflicts between varying land uses in
the conversion of traditional agricultural lands to other land uses."
Section 22-2-20.G.A.Goal 7. States: "County land use regulations should protect the
individual property owner's right to request a land use change."
This USR is adjacent to USR-1772 which was approved for an oil and gas support and
service facility. The adjacent properties are primarily dry farmland and grazing land.
Section 22-2-20. A. Goal 9. States: "Reduce potential conflicts between varying land uses in
the conversion of traditional agricultural lands to other land uses."
The improvements on the property consist of oil and gas processing plant, an office, and up
to two control rooms. The remote location, along with the Development Standards and the
other Conditions of Approval, will assist in mitigating the impacts of the facility on the
adjacent properties.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural)
Zone District. Section 23-3-40.A.1. of the Weld County Code allows for, A Site Specific
Development Plan and Use By Special Review Permit for Mineral Resource Development
Including Oil and Gas Support and Service (Natural Gas Processing Facility with a Field
Office, Storage Yard, Processing Plant, and a Gas Metering Station) in the A (Agricultural)
Zone District.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses.
The site is approximately 11 miles northwest of the Town of Grover. The adjacent properties
are primarily dry farmland and grazing land. The closest residence is one (1) mile south of
the proposed facility on CR 71. USR-1772 for an oil and gas facility is north of and adjacent
to this USR request. This site is currently part of USR-1772 and is required to submit a
partial vacation for USR-1772. USR-817 for gravel mining is approximately one mile west
and USR-432 for a 172 head dairy is approximately one mile south of this site.
D. Section 23-2-220.A.4 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with future
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 affected
municipalities.
The site is not located within three miles of any municipality.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Article V of the Weld County Code.
The existing site is within the County Road Impact Fee Area and the Capital Expansion
Impact Fee and Drainage Impact Fee areas.
Building Permits issued on the proposed lots will be required to adhere to the fee structure
of the Weld County Road Impact Program.
Building Permits issued on the proposed lots, will be required to adhere to the fee structure
of the County Facility Fee and Drainage Impact Fee.
F. Section 23-2-220.A.6 -- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve prime
agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use.
USR13-0002, page 3 of 10
The proposed facility is located on soils designated as "High Potential Dry Cropland - Prime
if they become irrigated" per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of
Weld County Map. There are improvements on the site already. The proposed USR will not
take any Prime (Irrigated) Farmland out of production.
G. Section 23-2-220.A.7 -- There is adequate provisions for the protection of health, safety, and
welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.
The Design Standards (Section 23-2-240, Weld County Code), Operation Standards
(Section 23-2-250, Weld County Code), Conditions of Approval and Development Standards
can ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of health, safety, and
welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.

35. 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
USR13-0002, page 9 of 10
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.
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, sand burs, 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. (Department of
Planning Services)
