This item was tabled pending . receipt of additional information as requested by the State Health Department regarding evaporation. The plans have been revised which now show a change to the design of the operation. There is presently a Special Use Permit on the site, but because an violation has taken place, the applicant chose to solve the problem by amending the SUP to add one additional pond ane redesign the system. Mr. Smith then explained that one of the pits collapsed due to last year' s hard winter. The modification now is for one large pit which would enable more evaporation. There will also be an emergency lagoon and will be constructed exactly the same as the new pit. The emergency lagoon will be resealed with bentonite and an emergency overfill dike will be provided. Jim Gilbert then asked John Hall of the Weld County Health Department to comment on what possible testing could be used to insure the seal is there and continues to be there over a period of years. Mr. Hall stated it would be most appropriate to have some type of test well initiated to monitor possible contamination of the water from leakage. Discussion followed regarding evaporation of Planning Commission Minites Page 2 September 18, 1979 • Mr. Hall also proposed that the applicant guarantee the Health Department an appropriate amount of free-boarding so that the water will not get above the dike. Mr. Smith agreed that this would be most appropriate. Tom Honn then read the Planning Staff' s recommendation for approval, the Development Standards and comments. Some discussion followed. MOTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend approval with the Development Standards based on the Planning Staff' s recommendation with the conditions that a test well and free-boarding be initiated to the Board of County Commissioners.

Jeff Rech answered several of the technical questions regarding the proposal as regards the stability tests and free- boarding. Discussion followed. Ken Lind, representing Mr. and Mrs . Adolph Anderson, expressed several concerns. These basically being that he would like to have approval from the County Health Department as regards the design standards and operation of the site; whether or not the pits will be or are to be sealed, free-boarding of the dike, and that the County Health Department be notified 24 hours after the emergency lagoon is used and that it be used only for an emergency.

UNABLE TO DELIVER BECAUSE: •- INITIALS 1 O ir *are ,971-272-3.2 August 10, 1979 I " • Weld County Commissioners Weld County Centennial Complex Greeley, Colorado 80631 Ladies and Gentlemen: Transmitted herewith are an application and supporting data for a Conditional Use Permit for a 93.4-acre parcel located in Section 34, Township 5 North, Range 67 West. The present zoning of the parcel is A-1 Agricultural. It is requested that we be permitted to use the site as an. 18-hole golf course along with ancil- lary uses. The zoning regulations for an A-1 Zone permit "public parks, playgrounds, and other public recreation areas owned and operated by a governmental or other_ non-profit agency." Golf courses are specifically permitted as a conditional use. A vicinity map, legal description and plot plan, prepared in accordance with Conditional Use Permit application guidelines, are submitted herewith. Con- tours of the site, golf course'layout, and probable location of parking, club- house and tennis courts are shown thereon. A soil survey was obtained from the Soil Conservation Service. Their evalua- tion disclosed no unusual problems relating to development of the site. None of the proposed site was found to be prime agricultural land by the Soil Con- servation Service. The proposed development will not cause water pollution, odor, noise, glare, fire or other safety hazards. On the contrary, the land is presently not used. Some pollution does occur from dust and sediment carried to the Big Thompson. Obviously, lack of use can also result in some fire hazard. These difficulties will be largely reduced or eliminated by the landscaping involved in the course development. We believe that clear positive environmental impact will result by the devel- opment of excellent open space which protects natural water flow, avoids ero- sion and air pollution, and creates superb wildlife habitat. Traffic congestion, or traffic noise, 'should be a problem. .The parcel, is bounded on the East by State Highway 257. The Highway Department has been consulted and they have indicated that access will be available from Highway f Weld County Commissioners August 10, 1979 Page Two 257. The proposed facility should have no impact upon noise levels along Highway 257. The highway would.obviously not be noticeably affected by the additional traffic. A simultaneous application for rezoning to permit an estate development East • of the subject parcel is being submitted. Assuming that request is approved, sewers would be constructed which would discharge to the Milliken Sanitation District. Permission has been obtained from the District. A copy of the letter is attached. If for some reason the estate development does not materialize, a septic tank and leach field would be used to service the on-site facilities. The Soil Conservation Service classed the soil at the proposed clubhouse lo- cation as Colby loam (40-B) which is suitable for a septic tank installation. Water is available from either the Town of Milliken or the Little Thompson Water District. From either entity a six-inch line with adequate pressure would deliver the supply. We encourage the granting of this application as providing an excellent rec- reational opportunity not otherwise readily available to a large constituency. We are also submitting the Applicant's checks, one in the amount of $250.00 including the required application filing fee and one in the amount of $20.00 including the filing fee of the attached plat.

COLORADO • • Walker Miller Attorney at Law . P.O. Box 1424 Greeley, Colorado 30632 . • RE: Blehm Land & Cattle Company Proposed Golf Course Electri- cal Permit • Dear Mr. Miller: • The Board of County Commissioners of Weld County has reviewed your letter of August 13 , 1979 and the information brought to light during your conference with Clair Scott , the electrical contractor • for Mr'. Blehm, Tom Honn, Weld County Zoning Administrator, and Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney. Based on this information, presented to us August 15, 1979, the Board is reluctantly author- izing, with conditions, the issuance of an electrical permit for the sprinkler system on the proposed golf course . The decision' was based on the need to protect. the interests of the public and • is not intended to give special benefit to your client . The issuance of a conditional electrical permit, given current conditions on the premises, will serve to protect the 'safety and welfare of the workmen on the premises and the residents of the area. It is our- information that most of the electrical -work / has been completed on the sprinkler system and that ' there ate at • present temporary electrical connections which constitute a poten- tial hazard to persons on the premises. There also' exists the possibility- that, absent an electrical permit , the electrical system. will never receive a proper inspection: ' The facts before • us also indicate that unless a sprinkler system is in place and • operating in the near future, it would be impossible to establish adequate ground cover prior to the' winter. There has already been extensive disturbance to the land in landscaping for the golf course, and leaving the land uncovered' forthe winter would likely lead to • extensive blowing of soil and the possibility 'of water erosion-. • These' impacts would not only be felt by your client, but .adjacent landowners as well. • 2 '-t, Walker Miller • a • Page 2 August . 27, 1979 • • • This action is taken in reliance on your letter of August 13 , 1979 , in which you state that such' an action will not be . deemed to "con- • stitute an estoppel or any other defense based on reliance on the. • part of Mr. ' Biehm should any further legal action become necessary. . . ". Further, the issuance of the electrical permit' is conditioned on the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit by this Board following • a full and impartial hearing on the merits . Should this Board • decide not to issue the Conditional Use Permit, the electrical per- mit shall be deemed revoked; if the golf course is converted to a • • use of right , an electrical permit could then again be issued. This decision by the Board to permit the issuance of the electrical per- mit does not in any way constitute a decision on' the application for the Conditional Use Permit . This action is further based on• your representation that the irriga- tion of the golf course constitutes a continuation, rather than an expansion, of the existing use of the water on the property. Any • questions regarding the use of this water must , of course, be resolved to the satisfaction of the State Water Resources Division or the Water Court . • We . appreciate your efforts on behalf of your client to resolve these issues short of litigation. •• If you have any further questions on this, please .contact Tom Honn • or Lee Morrison.

Blehm Land and Cattle Company Conditional Use Permit for Golf Course. Pt. Sec. 34, T5N, R67W. Dear Ms. Traxler: The Proposed Golf Course development does not occur in a designated floodplain. However, the course is adjacent to a small unnamed tributary of the Big Thompson River draining approximately . 7 square miles of- area. This is a large enough drainage area that it is important to maintain the existing drainage patterns with sufficient channel and storage capacities to handle the 100- year flood discharges. At present there are no conflicts with our interests. However, we would recommend determination of the 100-year floodplain and analysis of present channel and water storage capabilities.

N. of Ms. Vickie Traxler Milliken on W. Department of Planning Services Side of 257 Weld County DOH FILE 45100 915 Tenth Street " Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Ms. Traxler: The Division of Highways has submitted comments on the Blehm Land and Cattle Company Application far a Conditional Use Permit for a golf course. Those comments assessed only the potential impacts of the golf course on State Highway 257. We have subsequently reviewed the Blehm Land and Cattle Company application for a Zone Change from "A" Agricultural to "E" Estate. If the County approves this zone change, it will be necessary to assess the additional traffic impacts which will result. Preliminary approval vas given to the. proposed access easement to the golf course, but additional study will be necessary for any other points of access. We would expect this access easement will be available for use by residents of the "Estate" property. If this is the case, it is possible that traffic volumes could warrant a left-turn lane as well as the deceleration lane described in our previous letter. As recommended in our comments on the golf course, projected traffic volumes on S.H. 257 indicate that a total of 150 feet would be needed to accommodate future roadway expansion. We ask that a total of 75 feet on the west side of the centerline be protected by reservation or dedication in order to meet future needs. At such time as a site plan becomes available for review, we would like to address drainage impacts of this site as they relate to the highway and the effects of highway noise on the site.

The following are our recommendations and requirements. , 1 . A 250-foot portion of this property is adjacent to State Highway 257. Pro- jected traffic ,volumes on this highway indicate that a total of 150 feet of right of way, 75 feet each side of the centerline, would be needed to accommo- date future roadway expansion. We ask that the developer provide the additional right of way along his property which is necessary to achieve the 75-foot width. 2. The access easement intersection with the highway is acceptable to the Division. However, it is shown as being 70 feet wide and the maximum allowable commercial driveway width pis 35 feet. The existing access at this location must be closed if the new access is con- structed as a "T" intersection as shown on the Vicinity Map. Due to the hill on the west side of the highway, care should be taken to insure that this road meets the highway at an acceptable grade. Our analysis of, the anticipated traffic from the golf course finds that sufficient traffic will be generated to warrant a deceleration lane. The developer will be responsible for the construction of this lane to State Highway standards as shown on the enclosed specifications. The constructioh of the driveway and the deceleration lane will require a Drive- way Permit. Three copies of a plan showing details of the proposed construction and the completed permit should be sent to Mr. David N. Fraser, District IV Maintenance Superintendent, P. 0.

According to information provided by District Wildlife Manager Frank Rinella, development work on the golf course has already been done. From this happening, it is apparent that our comments will be given after the fact, which indicates that the possible needs of wildlife are being overlooked. Inasmuch as reports on soil analysis by the Soil Conservation Service, cropland farming feasibility by the Weld County Extension Service, and commercial gravel feasibility by the Colorado Geological Survey were accomplished, welbelieve that wildlife welfare could have been addressed just as easily b9 request to Mr. Rinella or Courtney Crawford. What we have to offer isladvice that is best used in the early planning stages. Thus , we would appreciate being considered in early planning on similar future development proposals.

Therefore, it is somewhat after the fact to try • to second guess wildlife inventories. , It would be -safe to say, however, that • about all of the common species are to be found in the area. These would include deer, coyote, fox, raccoon, muskrat, mink, weasel, beaver, pheasant, • magpie, dove, waterfowl, shore birds, numerous seasonal songbirds, raptors, as well as numerous small and nuisance species such as mice, rats and skunks. Probably one more comment should be included concerning the damage by wild- life, such as deer grazing on greens in late fall and early spring and leaving their hoof prints, also on some greens waterfowl will feed and defecate on the greens, which distresses some golfers. Muskrats also have a tendency to inhabit the water hazzards and to burrow holes in the dams. Thanks for theIopportuunity to comment.

Without irrigation it is not considered to have cropland potential and. with irrigation, slope limits capability and erosion protection is a primary soil management consideration. This soil is not prime farmland. It moderately limits home development and severely limits installation of septic tank filter fields. - Tassel fine sandy loam, 5 to 20 percent slopes, (84-DE) : This is a shallow, well drained soil on upland breaks. Included in this unit are some sandstone outcroppings. Depth to sandstone ranges from 10 to 20 inches. This soil is not cropland capable and should be maintained in permanent vegetative cover where possible. It moderately limits homesite development due to shallow depth to rock.

The Aquolls , which have dark colored surface layers , make up aboutf,65�percent of the mapping unit . The �Aquents , which have lighter colored surface layers , make up about 25 percent. About L percent is Aquolls and Aquepts , flooded , and Bankard sandy loam. These are deep, poorly drained soils. They formed in recent alluvium. Typically they have mottled , mildly to moderately alkaline , loamy or clayey surface layers and underlying material , and are underlain by sand or sand and gravel within 48 inches . They may or may not have a gleyed layer in the underlying material. 4 ; Most of these soils are subject to flooding. A watertahie is at or near the surface early in the spring and recedes to as deep as 48 inches by late fall in some years . These soils are used for rangeland and wildlife habitat. SOME small areas have been reclaimed by major drainage and leveling operations and is farmed to irrigated crops. The potential native vegetation on these soils is dominated by alkali sacaton, switchgrass and western wheatgrass. Saltgrass , sedge , rush and alkali bluegrass are also prominent. Potential production ranges from 3000 pounds per acre in favorable years to 2000 pounds per acre in unfavorable years . When range condition deteriorates , switchgrass , L, •7 i • c-/../ • r/%,-- • , :'<Jac alkali sacaton and western wheatgrass decrease and saltgrass , sedge • and rush increase. • Management of vegetation on this soil should be based on taking half and leaving half of the total annual production. Seeding on this site is difficult and costly since numerous tillage practices are required to eliminate the saltgrass sod . Switchgrass , western wheatgrass , alkali sacaton , tall wheatgrass and tall fescue are suitable for seeding. For successful seeding a clean, firm seedbed -- usually requires more than one year to eliminate the saltgrass sod -- and a grass drill should be used. Early spring seeding has proven most successful. Wetland wildlife , especially waterfowl , utilize these areas . The availability of moisture due to the wetness of this soil allows pro- duction of wetland plants that provide nesting and protective cover , as well as some food for waterfowl . The Juxtaposition of this soil to irrigated cropland areas where wildlife obtain much of their food , along with the cover provided , make this soil valuable to both wetland and openland wildlife. Openland wildlife , especially pheasants , use these areas for cover and • nesting, while they also provide excellent cover for deer when found in areas inhabited by deer. • Management for wildlife would include prevention of overgrazing by livestock, protection from unplanned fire, and prevention of drainage . Where livestock are present , these valuable wildlife areas should be ( "^•� fenced to prevent unwanted encroachment and overuse by livestock. /•7 0 J These soils have a good potential as a source of sand and gravel .

Where irrigated this soil is suited to all crops adapted to this area , Pt C. 8) including corn , sugar beets, beans , alfalfa, small grains , potatoes and onions. An example of a suitable cropping system is alfalfa 3 to 4 years followed by corn, corn for silage , sugar beets , small grain , beans and back to alfalfa. Some conservation practices such as land leveling, ditch lining and pipelines may be needed for proper water application. All methods of irrigation are suitable with furrow irrigation the most common type used. Barnyard manure and commercial fertilizers are needed for top yields along with maintaining good organic matter content. 75 • In nonirrigated areas this soil is suited to winter wheat , barley and O4141, o- pnc2:chca Cwinagt ncrt %doe. of 22 buei+ci sorghum. 'Most of the area is devoted to winter wheat which is alternated with summer fallow to allow mois'tute accumulation. Normally , precipi- tation is' too low to make beneficial use of fertilizers . Good cultural practices such as stubble mulch farming, strip cropping and minimum tillage are needed to combat wind. and water erosion. Terracing may also be needed to control water erosion. The potential native vegetation on this soil is dominated by blue grama. Several midgrasses such as western wheatgrass and needle-and-thread are also present. Potential production ranges from 1600 pounds per acre in favorable years to 1000 pounds per acre in unfavorable years . When range condition deteriorates , the midgrasses decrease , blue grama , buffalograss , snakeweed , yucca and fringed sage increase and production drops . Undesirable weeds and annual invade the site as range condition becomes poorer. Management of vegetation on this soil should be based on taking half i and leaving half of the total annual production. Seeding is advisable if range is in poor condition. Sideoats grama, little bluestem, western wheatgrass, blue grams, pubescent wheatgrass and crested wheatgrass are suitable for seeding. The grass selected should meet the seasonal requirements ofilivestock. For successful seeding, a clean, firm, sorghum stubble -- prepared the growing season .prior to seeding -- or a firm, prepared seedbed and grass drill should be used . Early spring seeding has proven most successful. 77 ir^a Windbreaks and environmental plantings are generally well suited on this soil. Generally all trees and shrubs adapted to this area will grow. Continued cultivation to- control competing vegetation should be practiced for as many years as- possible following planting. Trees that are best suited and have good survival are Rocky Mt. juniper , eastern redcedar, ponderosa pine, Siberian elm, Russian olive and hackberry. .Shrubs best suited are skunkbush sumac, lilac , Siberian peashrub and American plum. Openland wildlife, such as pheasants , mourning doves and cottontails , and rangeland wildlife , such as antelope, cottontail and coyote are best adapted for life on this soil. Under irrigation good wildlife habitat developments could be established that would benefit many kinds of openland wildlife. On rangeland, forage production is typically low and proper livestock grazing management is necessary if livestock and wildlife share the range.

A few small areas of soils shallow to moderately deep over shale and sandstone are also -included. Typically the surface layer is pale brown loam about 7 inches thick. The upper underlying material is vary pale brown silt loam about 32 inches thick. The lower underlying material , to a depth of 60 inches , . is a silt loam, very fine sandy loam or sandy loam. �ttt �;.;( ; Permeability is moderate. Available water capacity is high. Effective . rooting depth is 60 inches or more . Surface runoff is rapid and erosion hazard is high. This soil is suited to limited cropping; intensive cropping is hazar- dous because of erosion. The cropping system should be limited to close grown crops such as alfalfa , wheat and barley. The soils also are adapted to irrigated pasture. A suitable cropping system would be alfalfa 3 to 4 years followed by corn and small grain for 2 years and alfalfa seeded with a nurse crop. Close grown crops may be irrigated from closely spaced contour ditches or sprinklers . Contour furrows or sprinklers should be used for new crops. Applications of nitrogen and phosphorous fertilizer will help maintain good production. �v� ` 1746- D ?+:' y The potential native vegetation on this soil is dominated by blue C'•� grama. Sideoats grama, little bluestem, western wheatgrass and sedge are also prominent. Potential production ranges from 1800 pounds per acre in favorable years to 1500 pounds per acre in unfavorable years . When range condition deteriorates , sidcoats grama and little bluestem • decrease , production drops and blue grama , buffalograss and several perennial forbs and shrubs increase. Undesirable weeds and annuals invade the site as condition becomes poorer. Management should be based on taking half and leaving half of the total annual production. Seeding is advisable if range is in poor condition. Sideoats grama, little binestem, western wheatgrass and pubescent wheatgrass arc suitable for seeding. The grass selected a44 should meet the seasonal needs of livestock. For successful seeding a clean, firm sorghum stubble -- prepared the growing season prior to seeding -- or a firm, prepared seedbed and grass drill should be used. Plowing and drilling should be done en the contour to minimize runoff and soil losses. Early spring seeding has proven most successful. Windbreaks and environmental plantings are generally well suited on this soil. Generally all trees and shrubs adapted to this area will grow. Continued cultivation to control competing vegetation should be practiced for as many years as possible following planting. Trees that are best suited and have good survival are Rocky Mt. juniper, eastern rcdcedar, ponderosa pine , Siberian elm, Russian olive and hackberry. Shrubs best suited are skunkbush sumac , lilac , Siberian peashrub and American plum. i .1 r o -D • l • ` Openland wildlife, such as pheasants , mourning doves and cottontails , and rangeland wildlife , such as antelope, cottontail and coyote are best adapted for life on this soil. Under irrigation good wildlife habitat developments could be established that would benefit many kinds of openland wildlife. On rangeland , forage production is typically • low and proper livestock grazing management is necessary if livestock and wildlife share the range. Livestock watering facilities are also important and are utilized by various wildlife species. This Colby soil has a good potential for urban and recreational devel- opments. Road design can be modified to offset the soils inherent limited ability to support a load.
