Parcel Size: +/- 10.8 acres Parcel Number: 1059 21 200039 Case Summary: This application/request is to extend the height of a communication tower for Petroleum Development Corporation from 70-feet to 100-feet. Petroleum Development Corporation was approved for a 70-foot communication tower in this location under a Zoning Permit for a Telecommunication Antenna Tower (case#: ZPTT-0001) in 2010. 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: a. Section 23-2-220.A.1 --The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect. Section 22-2-20.1 A.Goal 9. States: "Reduce potential conflicts between varying • land uses in the conversion of traditional agricultural lands to other land uses." USR-1780 PDC 3 The proposed tower facility is located east of County Road 17 on an • approximately 11 acre agricultural zoned parcel, west of County Road 17, is a residential subdivision located in the Town of Johnstown. The tower is to be sited in a corner of the property that is screened by existing trees and buildings and is approximately 550-feet from County Road 17. The nearest residences are located to the southwest and the residential subdivision to the west. 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.L allows for Telecommunication Antenna Towers 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 area is residential in character to the west and immediately to the south and agricultural land is located to the north and east. The nearest residence is located approximately 400 feet to the southwest of the tower site while an existing subdivision is located approximately 600-700 feet to the west. Existing improvements (a residence and outbuildings) is located to the west of the proposed tower site. A letter of objection from a surrounding property owner was received April 20, 2011. Concerns listed included negative impacts on property values, potential negative impacts on TV reception and wireless internet connections, lack of landscaping on site creating an unsightly situation and exacerbating flooding conditions. The letter also mentions questions as to what the height of the antenna will be on the tower. The proposed tower location is located in an area that maximizes distance from the nearest residences while be screened by the existing trees and • buildings on the property. Existing improvements are oil and gas production facilities (tank batteries...) which are a use by right in the Agricultural Zone District. 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 a 3- mile referral area for the Towns of Berthoud, Johnstown and Milliken. No referral response has been received from the Town of Berthoud. The Town of Milliken indicated no conflicts with their interests. The Town of Johnstown, in their referral response dated March 22, 2011, indicated the location of the tower appears optimal in regards to setbacks and screening and request that an opaque fence of sufficient height be installed to screen the ground improvements. Johnstown also indicated that they require towers located in town to have earth tone color. e. Section 23-2-220.A.5 --The site does not lie within any Overlay Districts. Effective January 1, 2003, Building Permits issued on the proposed lots will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the County Road Impact Program. (Ordinance 2002-11) Effective August 1, 2005, Building permits issued on the subject site will be • required to adhere to the fee structure of the Capital Expansion Impact Fee and the Stormwater/Drainage Impact Fee. (Ordinance 2005-8 Section 5-8-40) USR-1780-PDC 4 f.

The proposed site is designated as "Prime" per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. The tower is proposed to be located on an existing 10.8 acre lot with existing improvements (residence and outbuildings along with oil and gas improvements).

My Christmas was a lot of fun also (lots of good food) . As to your questions: #5 - This has been satisfied. You have already addressed this in your questionnaire. #7 - Since no landscaping is proposed you do not have to address this. #11 - The maps you provided indicate the site - they do not specifically address item #11. See the attached response below (from my original e-mail) . The main question that will come up is - are there other towers/buildings in the area that PDC could potentially co-locate on and why these are not an option. This is an important criteria that will likely come up at the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners hearings. In regards to Part B - you do not need to provide an entire inventory. The thing we typically ask for is - whether there are any other towers/buildings in the area, have you explored collocation - and why you cannot locate on these facilities. Ill'o - don't forget to indicate what access will serve as the access for the tower facility. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Mine was wonderful. I've got just about everything together for the Supplemental USR Permit app requirements, yet have couple questions regarding a 3 of the requirements 1 (pgs 30-31 of Code Changes) On #5, I am not quite sure what the Planning Dept is looking for as we have already answered this in the "Narrative." Could you help clarify what needs be addressed here that was not included in the "Narrative?" seems to not be applicable as PDC owns the land as well as has no plans for landscaping, replacement of dead plant material, etc. For #11, will any of the attached maps suffice for meeting this requirement?

I am not concerned about submittal of the FAA documentation due to the fact that the proposed tower is less than 200-feet 2) Be sure to indicate the total height of the tower on your application and application questionnaire. 3) Could you please clarify which access to the site is being used - Is it the north access or the south access? 4) Do you have a pdf/digital copy of this application that you can send on CD?
