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 located within the 3-mile referral for the Town of Grover; the Town in their referral
dated November 23, 2011 stated, "In an effort to stay consistent in our comments on the referrals
we have received in the past few months, we are continuing to state our concerns regarding the
water supply in our area, Based on the monitoring we have done over the last year and one-half,
our water table has not been affected by the water facilities already in operation,but if other larger
facilities come in, we do not know what effect that will have. We are also concerned about the
impact traffic is having on WCR 390. We do realize, however, that this is hard to gage and
depends on the demand for water at any given time, and how many facilities are operating and
using this road."
As a condition of approval the applicant will need to address the concerns of the Town of Grover.
The applicant submitted a dust control plan which they will be required to adhere to.
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.

agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use.
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. This size of the parcel is (160 acres)and a large majority of the property will retain
the center pivot for irrigation.
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

Department)
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.
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.

The Chair read the next case into record.
• CASE NUMBER: USR11-0019
APPLICANT: KENNETH EVERITT
PLANNER: TOM PARKO
REQUEST: A SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW
PERMIT FOR AN OIL AND GAS SUPPORT SERVICE FACILITY(COMMERCIAL
WATER SALES) IN THE A(AGRICULTURAL)ZONE DISTRICT.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: SUBX11-0005; SE4 OF SECTION 10, T10N, R61W OF THE 6TH P.M., WELD
COUNTY, COLORADO.
LOCATION: NORTH OF AND ADJACENT TO COUNTY ROAD 118 AND 1.5 MILES EAST OF
COUNTY ROAD 89.
Tom Parko, Planning Services, stated that the property is approximately 160 acres but the Use by Special
Review Permit will only encumber 2.7 acres.
The owner of record is Kenneth Everitt. Mr. Everitt has a lease arrangement with A&W Water Services, Inc.to
operate a commercial water fill station. The water is provided by a well which has been converted to
commercial and industrial use and permitted through the Colorado Division of Water Resources. A&W Water
uses several tanks mounted on skids for water storage. Tankers pull up to the tanks and fill from hoses.
Access to the site is from County Road 118, which is a local gravel road maintained by the County. The
majority of vehicles and trips, a total of 70 per day associated with this site arrive and leave on County Road
118 and typically head north around the Town of Grover. The Town of Grover is approximately 2.5 miles to
the northwest of the site. The nearest residence is approximately 6.5 miles to the east. Property surrounding
this site is zoned agricultural and predominately used for grazing and some irrigated crops.
The number of full time employees proposed to be employed at this site will be zero. The hours of operation is
proposed to be 24/7; 365 days per year.
• The proposed site is located within the three-mile referral area of the Town of Grover. The Town of Grover in
their referral dated November 23,2011 stated,"In an effort to stay consistent in our comments on the referrals
we have received in the past few months,we are continuing to state our concerns regarding the water supply
in our area, based on the monitoring we have done over the last year and one-half, our water table has not
been affected by the water facilities already in operation, but if other larger facilities come in,we do not know
what effect that will have. We are also concerned about the impact traffic is having on County Road 390. We
do realize, however,that this is hard to gage and depends on the demand for water at any given time,and how
many facilities are operating and using this road."
Nine referral agencies have reviewed this case and five offered comments, some with specific conditions.
Staff has not received any correspondence either in favor or in opposition for this proposal.
The Department of Planning Services recommends approval of this application with the attached conditions of
approval and development standards.
Dave Bauer, Public Works,stated that the applicant is proposing 70 trips per day. The applicant will enter into
an Improvements Agreement with Weld County. Mr. Bauer indicated that County Road 390 is gradually being
upgraded over the next few years.
Mary Evett, Environmental Health, stated that there is an existing well on site approved by the Colorado
Division of Water Resources for water truck hauling. Since no employees will be stationed at the facility, the
applicant is requesting the use of portable toilets; however according to Department Policy portable toilets are
allowed on a temporary basis up to six months. Therefore permanent drinking water and sewage disposal
facilities are required.
Linn Leeburg, 707 Hawthorne, Boulder, CO 80434, represents the applicant Kenneth Everitt. He stated that
• the proposed impact will be fairly small. He added that they have a list of concerns with the staff report that
they would like to have clarified or modified. He started with the reques •f .ortable toilets and added that
• 5
I
there will be no employees stationed on site. He said that the staff report refers to having a dumpster on site;
however they have no desire for a dumpster and requested that it be removed. In the staff report, there is
some implication of the requirement for a water quality feature; however he stated that the land is very flat. In
addition, there is a requirement that building permits will need to be obtained. He requested clarification on
this and requested that they do not go through the building permit process for portable tanks. Mr. Leeburg
added that there is a request for double cattle guards and asked for clarification since they are going from
gravel to gravel. In the staff report it indicates that a landscape/screening plan be required; however they are
not proposing any landscaping or screening on site and requested that it be removed.
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 consensus of the Planning Commission was to amend the language in regard to portable toilets. Ms.
Evett said that Condition of Approval 1.C and 1.D may be deleted. Robert Grand moved to delete Condition of
Approval 1.C and 1.D, seconded by Bill Hall. Motion carried.
In addition, Ms. Evett stated that Development Standards 12, 13 and 14 may be deleted as well. Robert
Grand moved to delete Development Standards 12, 13, and 14, seconded by Bill Hall. Motion carried.
Finally, Ms. Evett recommended amending Development Standard 11 to read "Adequate drinking, hand
washing and toilet facilities shall be provided for employees and patrons of the facility, at all times. Bottled
water, portable toilets and handwash units are acceptable." Jason Maxey moved to amend Development
Standard 11 as read by staff, seconded by Benjamin Hansford. Motion carried.
With regard to the request for the removal of the water quality feature, Mr. Bauer said that if there is no
outdoor storage or parking or permanent structures then they would be willing to waive the water quality
feature. However if they were to modify the site with any of those things then a water quality feature would be
necessary. Jason Maxey moved to delete Condition of Approval 1.G.6,seconded by Nick Berryman. Motion
• carried.
Mr. Bauer added that Condition of Approval 1.G.5 could be amended to read "Access improvements are
required and shall include 60' radiuses to accommodate turning trucks." Robert Grand moved to amend
Condition of Approval 1.G.5 as stated by staff, seconded by Bill Hall. Motion carried.
The Chair asked the applicant if he read through the amended Development Standards and Conditions of
Approval and if they are in agreement with those. The applicant replied that he is in agreement.
Robert Grand moved that Case USR11-0019, be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners along with
the amended Conditions of Approval and Development Standards with the Planning Commission's
recommendation of approval, seconded by Joyce Smock.
The Chair asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. Joyce
Smock,yes; Nick Berryman,yes; Robert Grand,yes; Bill Hall,yes;Alexander Zauder,yes;Jason Maxey,yes;
Benjamin Hansford, yes; Mark Lawley, yes; Tom Holton, yes. Motion carried unanimously.
