record.

stated approval of this permit will address a zoning violation for operating without the

entered the favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission into the record as written
and displayed an aerial map and photographs of the site and surrounding area.

sewer provisions. She requested Development Standard #11 be modified to add the standard

Dan Harms represented the applicant and reviewed the history of the well usage. He
stated the water consumption for the proposed use is reduced during the summer while they are
utilizing the water for irrigation.
No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. In response to Chair Conway,
Mr. Harms agreed with the proposed revision to Development Standard #11 to be consistent
with the previous case. He indicated they will not need portable toilets in the summer when the
site is not providing water for oil and gas operations. He also reviewed plans to bring in gravel
to elevate the area in front of the tanks for better drainage of the site. Ms. Hansen clarified the
Improvements Agreement will only require tracking control, if necessary. Commissioner Long
indicated Development Standard #17 is specific to the tracking control and should be deleted,
and the applicant agreed. In response to Mr. Harms, Ms. Light clarified submittal of a written
plan indicating they intend to remove the site trash to their residence for proper removal will
satisfy the Waste Handling Plan requirement. The Board also directed staff to remove the
language from criteria paragraph #2.F regarding the use of a pivot sprinkler.
e Commissioner Long moved to approve the request of O&M Harms, LLC, for a Site Specific
Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit, USR12-0044, for an Oil and Gas
Support and Service (water depot) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District, based on the
recommendations of Planning staff and the Planning Commission, with the Conditions of
Approval and Development Standards as entered into the record. His motion included deleting
"coupled with a center pivot for irrigation"from criteria paragraph #2.F, amending Development
Standard #11 to state, "Adequate hand washing and toilet facilities shall be provided for
employees and patrons of the facility. Portable toilets are allowed in accordance with
Environmental Health Policy when employees or contractors are on the site for less than two (2)
consecutive hours a day. Records of maintenance and proper disposal for portable toilets shall
be retained on a quarterly basis and available for review by the Weld County Department of
Public Health and Environment. Portable toilets shall be serviced and shall contain hand
sanitizers.", deleting Development Standard #17, and renumbering the subsequent items. The
motion was seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, and it carried unanimously. There being no
further discussion, the hearing was completed at 11:19 a.m.
