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:
Section 23-2-220.A.1 --The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other applicable
code provisions or ordinance in effect. The National Grange was started in 1867 and is is the
nation's oldest national agricultural organization. It was formed in the years following the
American Civil War to unite private citizens in improving the economic and social position of the
nation's farm population. Homestead Grange No. 215 was founded in 1913. The hall was built
by its members and has been the meeting place for many dances, showers, meetings, weddings
and community events.
A. Section 22-2-20.B. A.Goal 2. Continue the commitment to viable agriculture in Weld
County through mitigated protection of established (and potentially expanding)
agricultural uses from other proposed new uses that would hinder the operations of the
agricultural enterprises. Section 22-2-20.6 2. A.Policy 2.2. Allow commercial and
industrial uses, which are directly related to or dependent upon agriculture, to locate
within agricultural areas when the impact to surrounding properties is minimal or
HOMESTEAD GRANGE NO.215
HOMESTEAD GRANGE INC.
PAGE 2
mitigated and where adequate services and infrastructure are currently available or
reasonably obtainable. These commercial and industrial uses should be encouraged to
locate in areas that minimize the removal of agricultural land from production. Section
22-2-20.G. A.Goal 7. County land use regulations should protect the individual property
owner's right to request a land use change. Section 22-2-20.G.1. A.Policy 7.1. County
land use regulations should support commercial and industrial uses that are directly
related to, or dependent upon, agriculture, to locate within the agricultural areas, when
the impact to surrounding properties is minimal, or can be mitigated, and where adequate
services are currently available or reasonably obtainable.
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.E Public and quasi-Public buildings including:
Administrative offices or meeting halls for agricultural organizations as a Use by Special
Review 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 surrounding land uses include a variety of
agricultural activities, including irrigated and dryland farming operations. There are
limited farmsteads with associated housing stock in the general area. The proposed
Grange Hall site is approximately five (5) miles East to Morgan County and nine (9) miles
west to Prospect Valley. The Town of Keenesburg is approximately sixteen (16) miles to
the Northwest.
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 facility is not within the three mile referral areas for a
municipality
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The site does not lie within any Overlay Districts. The site is not
within the Airport, Flood Hazard or Geologic Hazard Overlay Districts, however the site is
within the County-wide Road Impact Fee and the County Facility Fee and Drainage
Impact Fee area.
Effective April 25, 2011, Building Permits issued on the proposed lots will be required to
adhere to the fee structure of the Weld County Road Impact Program. (Ordinance 2011-
2)
Effective April 25, 2011, 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.
(Ordinance 2011-2)
F. Section 23-2-220.A.6 -- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve
prime agricultural land for the proposed use. The U.S.D.A. Soils Maps of Prime
Farmlands of Weld County dated 1979 indicate that the soils on this property as "Prime"
however, there is no irrigation water associated with the parcel as it is a "dry corner."
Given that the 2.5 acre net parcel is a non-farmed piece of land, the applicant is utilizing
the property for the highest and best use.
G. Section 23-2-220.A.7 -- The Design Standards (Section 23-2-240, Weld County Code),
Operation Standards (Section 23-2-250, Weld County Code), Conditions of Approval and
HOMESTEAD GRANGE NO.215
HOMESTEAD GRANGE INC.

Development Standards ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of
health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.

33. 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.
HOMESTEAD GRANGE NO.215
HOMESTEAD GRANGE INC.
PAGE 9
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, 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.

attendance to answer any questions the Planning Commission members or Board of County
Commissioners may have.
Colorado Revised Statute, C.R.S.24-65.5-103 (adopted as part of H.B.01-1088) requires notification of
all mineral estate owners 30 days prior to any public hearing. The applicant needs to provide the Weld
County Planning Department with written certification indicating the above requirement has been met.
A representative from the Department of Planning Services will be out to the property a minimum of ten
days prior to the hearing to post a sign adjacent to and visible from a publicly maintained road
right-of-way which identifies the hearing time, date, and location. In the event the property is not
adjacent to a publicly maintained road right-of-way, one sign will be posted in the most prominent place
on the property and a second sign posted at the point at which the driveway (access drive) intersects a
publicly maintained road right-of-way.
The Department of Planning Services' staff will make a recommendation concerning this application to
the Weld County Planning Commission and will be included in the staff report one week prior to the
scheduled Planning Commission hearing. You may view the staff report at

Procedures
1. Find i (areas don't need to be exact just estimate) -this is the imperviousness of your site which tells us how much
water soaks into the ground and how much runs off
Grass/Undeveloped = 2%
Gravel =40%
Pavement= 100%
Rooftops = 90%
i = [(Area of Grass*0.02)+(Area of Gravel'0.40)+(Area of Pave'1.00)+(Area of Roofs`0.90)]

2. Find WQCV from above highlighted#2 equation using a=1.0 and your i from step 1
3. Find required storage from highlighted #3 equation on page SQ-24 using your WQCV from step 2 and the Total Site Area
4. Show the area for the water quality depression on your site plan downstream of any parking, building or operations areas
and label it as"Water Quality Feature, No Build Area". The depression should be 1-2' deep and have enough volume for
the required storage amount you calculated above. An exiting sump or depress on can also be used if it meets the
volume.

DRAINAGE CRITERIA MANUAL(V. 3) STORMWATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
basins can provide less holding time for the predominant number of smaller storms. Larger basins can
result in less net reduction of pollutants than is obtained when using the recommended 80'" percentile
capture volume that can be obtained from Figure SQ-2. Storms larger than the 80th percentile events still
receive some treatment when their capacity is exceeded by larger storms, but at a somewhat lower
efficiency. Thus,the law of diminishing returns for cost-effective pollutant removal takes effect, not only
because of the large number of small storms found in the total population of storms, but because the first
flush of runoff for larger storm is also captured and that pollutant removal continues to occur for in-line
capture basins when the runoff exceeds their design capacity.
4.4 Determining the Water Quality Capture Volume
4.4.1 Use of Directly Connected Impervious Area
The procedures described in the RAINFALL and in the RUNOFF chapters of Volume 1 of the Manual are
intended for the design of drainages and flood facilities that prevent damage to property and help protect
human life. These procedures show that the depth of rainfall produced from a design storm varies
somewhat throughout the Denver region and that runoff is a function of total imperviousness. Water
quality enhancement focuses more on the smaller events that deliver frequent flow pulses and pollutant
loads to the receiving waters. The runoff volume for smaller events is especially sensitive to the
impervious area that is hydraulically connected to the stormwater runoff system.
The impervious portion of a watershed determines the runoff volume that needs to be used for the design
of water quality facilities, and the percentage of impervious surface therefore becomes important in the
design of structural BMPs. The RUNOFF chapter of the Manual, Volume 1, includes the methodology for
calculating basin imperviousness. This procedure needs to be modified, however,when using the
practice of minimizing directly connected impervious areas in combination with extended detention
basins, retention ponds, wetlands, and other practices depended on a design water quality capture
volume. Whenever applicable, the needed modifications are described in the appropriate chapters of this
volume of the Manual.
4.4.2 Water Quality Capture Volume (WQCV)
All structural BMPs recommended in this volume of Manual are based on the 80th percentile event.
Specific guidance for finding the needed WQCV is provided in each BMP types' design section. This
WQCV varies with the type of BMP used and is based on the time it takes to fully drain the brim-full
WQCV. Figure SQ-2 summarizes the WQCV requirements as a function of the tributary catchments total
imperviousness as a ratio of the total area of the catchment for 6-, 12-, 24-, and 40-hour drain times of
the WQCV.
10-2005 SQ-23
Urban Drainage and Flood Control District
t
STORMWATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT DRAINAGE CRITERIA MANUAL(V. 3)
Figure SQ-2 is appropriate for use in Colorado's high plains near the foothills. For other portions of
Colorado or of United States, the WQCV obtained from this figure can be adjusted using the following
relationships:
WQCV
WQCV0 =d6
0.43
in which,
WQCV = Water quality capture volume taken from Figure SQ-2
WQCV0 = Water quality capture volume outside the Denver region
d6 = Depth of average runoff producing storm from Figure SQ-3 (watershed inches)
Once the WQCV in watershed inches is found from Figure SQ-2, then determine the required storage
volume in acre-feet as follows:
3. r
Required storage =LWQZ V](Area)
in which,
Required storage = Required storage volume in acre-feet
Area = The tributary catchment's area upstream in acres
The independent variable in Figure SQ-2 is the total imperviousness ratio(i.e., i=l,/100) of the tributary
watershed (catchment). The chapter on RUNOFF in Volume 1 of the Manual contains guidance for how
to find the total imperviousness of a watershed and its use is recommended. Figures SQ-4,SQ-5 and
SQ-6 are duplicated in this chapter to help the reader estimate the imperviousness of single family
residential areas. Note that these figures require the knowledge of the average housing densities,
types of housing, and average human occupied total square footage of the houses in the area to find
the imperviousness of these areas.

On Thursday, February 17, 2011 an informal discussion took place at the Greeley Administrative
Offices Conference Room regarding a proposed Grange Hall. (The legal description is Lot C
RE-2563; Part SW4 Section 5, T1 N, R61W of the 61h P.M.)
Background Information:
The applicants are proposing to construct a Grange Hall for Homestead Grange. Since 1913, the
Homestead Grange has provided a gathering place for Halloween parties, 4-H activities, dances,
etc. Due to the termination of an existing lease, the applicants are proposing to construct the new
Hall on the subject site.
Building Department
The applicants are proposing to construct a Morton Building. The building will be required to adhere
to the 2006 IBC codes. Handicap accessible restrooms and parking will be required as well. A hard
surface will be required for handicapped parking.
The approximate size of the building is 50 feet by 100 feet. Staff encouraged the applicants to hire
an architect to determine occupancy load and perform a code analysis. This information will
determine the threshold requirement for sprinkler systems.
Health Department
The applicant will need to install an engineered designed septic system. The septic permit fee is
$850. The setback distance between the well and septic system is 100 feet.
Staff encouraged the applicants to visit with Joanna Williams, Division of Water Resources,
regarding a commercial well permit.
The minimum lot size allowed is 2.5 acres to accommodate for water and septic setbacks.
When the applicants inquired about providing a small kitchen for buffets, staff stated that since it is a
non-profit business the kitchen would fall under other rules. Staff will follow-up with the Food
Inspection Department.
Public Works
Staff recommended that the applicants visit with Gloria Hice-Idler, CDOT, on acquiring an Access
Permit. The applicants indicated that it would be a shared access. Traffic study will be determined
by CDOT.
A Site Plan identifying the access, building location, and parking area will be required.
The site is not located in a designated FEMA floodplain.
The applicants indicated that the parking area will most likely be recycled road base. If the
applicants proposed recycled road base, no Drainage Report is required; however the applicant
shall provide a short description of the historic stormwater flows across the property and how their
application will affect those flows. The description shall include but not be limited to: 1) where the
water originates if it flows onto the property from an offsite source, 2) where it flows to as it leaves
the property, 3)the direction of flow across the property, and 4)if there have been previous drainage
problems with the property. The application shall also provide flow arrows on the map showing
where the stormwater starts, how it goes across the property, and where it leaves the property. The
applicant will still be responsible for providing a water quality feature that conforms to the
methodology outlined in Volume 3, Section 4.4.2 of the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria manual.
Planning Department
The applicants will need to submit a Recorded Exemption (RE)application to create a minimum 2.5

We are hoping to build a new Grange Hall for Homestead Grange and
our community because we lost our previous hall in 2009, due to the fact
that we did not own the land that our building was on, and the current land
owners would not renew our lease. We feel that our community would
benefit from another building for many purposes. We held many 4-H
activities, Halloween parties, showers, dances, etc. in the old building, and
feel there is still a need for those purposes as well as our grange meetings.
Since its establishment in 1913, Homestead Grange has always been a place
for our community to gather, and we really feel that we still need a building
to supply a gathering place.
