▪ Kim Ogle, Planning Services, presented Case USR12-0077, reading the recommendation and
comments into the record. The Department of Planning Services recommends approval of this
application with the attached conditions of approval and development standards. Mr. Ogle noted an
amendment to Item 2.D on page 4 in the staff report and requested deletion of the last sentence "All
trucks will travel north for two miles on County Road 95 to County Road 122, traveling three miles west to
the paved portion of County Road 122."
D. Troy Swain, Environmental Health, reviewed the containment and design requirements of the
proposed recycling facility.
▪ Don Carroll, Public Works, reported on the existing and proposed traffic, access and drainage
conditions and the requirements on site. Mr. Carroll clarified that the request to delete the last sentence
in Item 2.D was due to a change in the haul route and added that the new haul route is listed in
Development Standard #26.
Commissioner Grand and Commissioner Smock noted that with the number of trucks on County Road
390 creating dust it is also creating traffic safety issues. Mrs. Smock added that the roads are not well
maintained because of the amount of truck traffic and is afraid that it will cause accidents.
▪ Mickey Leyba-Farnsworth, 625 Main Street, Longmont, Colorado stated that she is representing
Halliburton Energy Services. She stated that the proposed recycling facility is Phase 2 of the existing
water supply and management project on site. Phase 1 is currently operational and provides fresh water
for the oil and gas development operations. The intent of the facility is to reduce the amount of traffic by
having the entire operation on the site. Security and safety measures will be implemented with a chain
link fence surrounding the property as well as an entrance gate. Security lighting and a SCADA system
will be operational as well. It is Halliburton's intent to start construction within the 2nd or 3r° quarter of
2014.
In response to Commissioner Grand's inquiry, the truck drivers will be subcontracted with Halliburton
Energy Services. Mr. Grand commented that although Halliburton has a high safety record he feels that
the safety performance is not at the same level if they were Halliburton employees and asked how they
will ensure the safety of the roads. Ms. Leyba-Farnsworth stated that she will visit with Halliburton on this
matter and bring the findings to the Board of County Commissioners hearing. Commissioner Maxey
asked if in the future they would inject at the facility. Ms. Leyba-Farnsworth said that their original intent
was to inject and it remains their intent to inject in the future, however they have focused on recycling for
this site at this point.
Commissioner Smock asked for clarification on the number of traffic trips. Ms. Leyba-Farnsworth said
that with Phase 1 they projected 320 truck loads per day with 640 round trips per day. She added that
according to the Improvements Agreement they agreed to there are trigger points that they will need to
comply with. Mr. Grand asked about the responsibility of Halliburton watering the County Road 390 to
alleviate the dust issue. Mr. Carroll said that according to the existing improvements agreement it is tied
to the applicant's haul route and not specific to County Road 390. He added that he would talk with staff
at Public Works to see if there are any plans for County Road 390. Mr. Grand said that the dust makes it
very dangerous and noted that Halliburton trucks are not the only cause of the dust issues.
▪ Motion to amend the staff report by deleting the sentence in Item 2.D on page 4 as requested by
staff, Moved by Robert Grand, Seconded by Bill Hall. Motion passed unanimously.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.
No one wished to speak.
The Chair asked the applicant if they have read through the Development Standards and Conditions of
Approval and if they are in agreement with those. The applicant replied that they are in agreement.

ORDINANCE 2013-2
TOM PARKO
WELD COUNTY CODE ORDINANCE #2013-2, IN THE MATTER OF
REPEALING AND RE-ENACTING, WITH AMENDMENTS, CHAPTER 20
IMPACT FEES, OF THE WELD COUNTY CODE.
D. Tom Parko, Planning Services, presented Ordinance 2013-2, stating that according to the Weld
County Code, on April 1ss of every calendar year the Board of County Commissioners shall consider
adjusting the impact fees by the rate of inflation. In a work session with staff, the Board of County
Commissioners agreed to adjust the impact fees to account for inflation and to adjust the fees
accordingly. Mr. Parko presented the proposed impact fees.
Motion: Forward Case Ordinance 2013-2 to the Board of County Commissioners with the Planning
Commission's recommendation of approval, Moved by Robert Grand, Seconded by Benjamin Hansford.
Motion passed unanimously.
The Chair asked the public if there were other items of business that they would like to discuss. No one
wished to speak.
I► The Chair asked the Planning Commission members if there was any new business to discuss.
Commissioner Maxey has asked why the Non -1041 land use cases do not get forwarded to the Board of
County Commissioners for final approval. He feels that if the Planning Commission has to forward a dog
kennel to them why the Non -1041 permits do not. Mr. Parka said that this process has been in place for
a while; therefore he will need to do some research on why it ends with the Planning Commission. It may
be because it is a state regulated process. Mr. Parko said that he will research it and bring it back to
Planning Commission for further comment.
Meeting adjourned at 3:00 pm.
