27. 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.

LOCATION: SOUTH AND ADJACENT TO CR 70 AND APPROXIMATELY ONE-QUARTER
MILE WEST OF CR 53.
DI" Diana Aungst, Planning Services, presented Case USR12-0027, reading the recommendation and
comments into the record. Staff has received eight(8) letters in opposition to this request from surrounding
property owners which include concerns of speed, dust and noise from the trucks including the use of jake
brakes and low water pressure. In a conversation with the applicant,they stated that they held a neighborhood
meeting on Saturday, June 30th and the applicant has agreed to take action to try to mitigate some of these
concerns. The Department of Planning Services recommends approval of this application with the attached
conditions of approval and development standards.
Don Carroll, Public Works, reported on the conditions of approval and development standards included
in the staff report. The access will be onto County Road 70,which is classified as a local, gravel road. The
applicant is proposing that 100 percent of the traffic will go west of the site to County Road 51. If there will be
traffic going east then dust control will need to be addressed.
Lauren Light, Environmental Health,reported on the conditions of approval and development standards
included in the staff report. They have no concerns with this request.
r' Jeff Wright,A&W Water, 1892 Denver Ave, Ft. Lupton CO,stated that this site was a temporary site. Mr.
Wright said that they are estimating 300 gallons per minute from the hydrant provided by North Weld County
Water District. He noted that he talked to the 4 property owners in opposition. In addition, they held a
neighborhood meeting on Saturday with several landowners in the area. Originally they proposed 90%of the
truck traffic from County Road 70 out to County Road 51 with the remaining 10% east to County Road 53;
• however after that meeting they decided to route 100%of the traffic to County Road 51. Mr.Wright added that
they intend to provide mag chloride dust control and impose 35 mph speed limits. In addition, no lighting is
proposed on site.

• 1' The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.
Dennis Francen,25343 CR 70,stated that 3 months after he moved in North Weld County Water District had
installed a water line and he assumed it was to improve water pressure. He and his brother who lives
adjacent to him have put the mag chloride on CR 70 in front of their home. With truck traffic accessing the
water hydrants he is concerned with dust, noise, etc. He said that there are no accommodations that A&W
could make from devastating his family farm's property value and quality of life. He is opposed to this request.
Brent Fancen, 25455 CR 70, stated that the farm has been in the family for 87 years. He has endured
the last 2 years with the existing water trucks and he can no longer enjoy his evenings outside because of the
noise and dust. He has estimated that in Phase 1 there would be one truck every 10 minutes and with Phase
2 there would be one truck every 5 minutes and he feels this is unbearable.
Dave Uhrich, 31386 CR 51, stated that there is a water hydrant on his property on the comer of County
Road 51 and County Road 70 that they would sell or rent to the applicant and believes that if the applicant
would move to this site this would solve many of the concerns.
• Cindy Haugen,33976 CR 53, noted that because the traffic won't be traveling on County Road 53 it won't
impact her so much. However,she added that with her windows and doors closed the truck traffic still raffles
her house and dust is a huge problem out there.
Jerrod McGraw, 26254 CR 70, stated that he is in support of moving the site to the corner of County
Road 51 and County Road 70. He has children who travel County Road 70 and is concerned with their safety
as well as all those impacted on County Road 70. He added that the truck radius is not adequate on County
• Road 70 and County Road 53.
Ken Starman,33431 CR 53, inquired how often mag chloride will be applied as well as the maintenance
of the road. Mr. Starman said that from the meeting on Saturday they were told that A&W Water will not
sublease;however he questioned if they will only see A&W trucks or contracted trucks. He is very concemed
about the decreased water pressure and added that he is worried if a fire is started, will there be enough
water. He is also concerned about traffic safety.
la' Winifred Pfeif stated that they cannot open windows or doors because of the noise and dust.She noted
several accidents on the intersection of County Road 392 and County Road 51.
ID" Jim Ambrose, 33618 CR 53, stated that he was told that the new water line was to improve water
pressure. He added that dust and noise are big problems. He appreciated the meeting held byA&W Water.
Mr.Ambrose said that he is concerned with the potential of multiple wells located east of the site and then the
traffic going east.
▪ Lin Walter stated that they have a lot of concerns with the proposed site regarding dust control and water
pressure. There is too much traffic already without adding more trucks.
• Lynann Dunker, 33504 CR 53, stated that they live in an agricultural area and added that they are
concerned with the fire hydrants providing required water pressures for the safety of their homes and
buildings.
The Chair closed the pubic portion of the hearing and called a recess at 5:17 pm. The Chair called the
meeting back to order at 5:24 pm.
• ►' Mr.Wright addressed the concerns from the public. With regard to the water pressure they do not have
any more information to provide. The other hydrant locations have been used by other trucking companies;
7
however this site will be used only by A&W Water and will not be leased to other operators. They intend to
• use this site as long as it is necessary. In response to Mr. Holton's question, a draft of the improvements
agreement is in place however it will be finalized at the Board of County Commissioner hearing. He added
that dust suppressant will be applied on an as needed basis.
Commissioner Grand asked about the alternative recommendation. Mr.Wright said that because they are this
far along they would like to see it through;however it may be considered. He noted that there would be other
land owners affected with the alternative hydrant.
Staff stated that the applicant has requested to amend or remove some conditions of approval and
added that staff is in support of deleting Condition of Approvals 1.B, 1.F.5, 1.F.6, 1.F.7 and amending
Condition of Approval1.E.
Motion: Delete Condition of Approval 1.B, Moved by Robert Grand, Seconded by Benjamin Hansford.

Vote: Motion passed (summary: Yes = 5, No=2, Abstain = 0).
Yes: Benjamin Hansford, Jason Maxey, Joyce Smock, Nick Berryman, Robert Grand.
No: Mark Lawley, Thomas Holton.
Commissioner Berryman said that he struggles with the magnitude of the traffic in this case. He believes it
would be appropriate to locate along a paved highway where they are not accessing some of the dirt roads
that causes some of these concerns. If there were less traffic volume he might have supported this request.
Commissioner Smock commented that if there is an alternative location it should be explored.
Commissioner Hansford echoed the Commissioner's comments.
Commissioner Grand expressed empathy for A&W Water since they cannot control the water pressure issues
with North Weld County Water District. However we need to respect property rights for the surrounding
residents as well.
Commissioner Maxey cited Section 23-2-220.A.3 regarding compatibility issues. He is concerned with the
additional traffic on the roadway. He encouraged the applicant to work with the surrounding property owners
and hopefully find a better location suitable for everyone.
Commissioner Lawley understands the residents' concerns; however he believes moving that site either
direction will have the same issues.
• Commissioner Holton encouraged A&W Water to look for more remote sites.
