We take logs that are removed from the urban forest during routine tree care operations and make lumber and furniture out of this otherwise un-utilized resource. My business, TC Woods, LLC is a small,2-4 employee company operating in the emerging niche industry of Urban Forest utilization. As I have been afforded the opportunity to move my residence out to Weld county,I would also like to be able to continue this business activity on a parcel which seems ideal for this relatively low-impact use. We propose to continue the current Agricultural usage of the property(residence, livestock& pasture)and add the processing and selling of urban forest products to our operations. This would involve: Receiving logs (from pick-up and grapple trucks); Logs are dropped off in the log yard and moved into the Mill Shed(see plot plan). Primary processing (Bandsaw milling on either a 10 or 24 Hp mill); Logs milled into boards in Millshed—green lumber loaded into drying shed or other storage sheds. See Dust and Noise ' abatement plans for details on operations. Drying of lumber (in air drying sheds or in a containerized kiln); Secondary processing(Surface planing, edging of boards and building furniture); From drying sheds most lumber is moved into the Woodshop,where it will be planed &/or straightlined to be sold as finished lumber, or further refined to be sold as furniture. Some lumber is sold as 'roughsawn'and goes directly to the lumber storage or display sheds. Selling products (from rough-sawn lumber to finished furniture). We have customers from hobby woodworkers to high-end professional woodworkers who come into our store to choose boards for their specific needs or to look at or order custom work. Customers remain in the Sales area (parking lot,Office and Lumber display sheds)and away from the processing areas(millshed and woodshop). Logs initially are stored outside,in the'log yard'—once the milling process begins all further activities take place inside of buildings.We propose to have signage both at the NW corner of the property on CR 23,and at the entrance to the facility off of the Pehr rd. The primary sign for the business use we propose to put at a setback of 12'from CR 23 and 8'from Pehr rd. It would be single sided,at a 45 degree angle from CR 23 (facing NW),no greater than 12 sf and built in compliance with all pertinent codes. The text will say"TC Woods—Sawmill& Lumber". We also propose to put a smaller sign on the entrance gate into the facility which lists 'TC Woods' and hours of operation. S 2.specifically Whatin:we are proposing is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, 22-2-20 2. A.Policy 6.2.Support opportunities,such as but not limited to hobby farming and home businesses,to supplement family income and reduce living expenses for farm families and others who prefer a rural lifestyle. 22-5-150& 160. Use of resources./Goals& Policies Given the abundance and variety of resources in the County, it is desirable to support the use of these resources in the County. (Weld County Code Ordinance 2008-13) & Support and encourage the use of natural and other resources available in the County by the residents of the County. Trees are an important but hugely under-utilized local resource. After they die, they typically are treated as a waste product. We are proposing to repurpose this natural resource and allow a cascade of economic activity as our forest products return back into the community. 22-6-10 Economic development B. Economic development can be defined as an approach, strategy or program that aids in the sustainability and growth of an economy. A focus on retaining and creating primary jobs, in particular, leads to a sustainable economy. 3. Our proposal is consistent with the Intent and Zoning of Agricultural land, in that the great majority of our property will retain its original agricultural usage,AND even our special use is, in the spirit of agriculture—a harvesting and utilization of plant life. 4. To our north is a small, C-3 zoned parcel currently utilized by Ramirez trucking, oil and cattle company. Our business use is contiguous with this boundary. To our East, South,And West are similar(larger) Agricultural lands, the boundaries to which will all remain in our present agricultural use. Our proposed usage will be barely, if at all distinguishable from the surrounding land uses. 5. a]. There will be 3 or 4 people living on this property, perhaps an additional 2 to 4 employees,several pick-up or log trucks per month,and from 5-15 customers per day utilizing this site. S Total trips are initially expected to be below 20/day, but would hopefully grow to 40-50/day(IE-20-25 visits, including residents). b]. 2-4 employees c]. Our hours of operation will be 9-5 M-F and 10-4 on Sat.;closed Sundays. d]. In addition to the present 13,000 sf of residence,barns and sheds we propose to build an additional 1300-2600 sf of pole sheds and barns. e].We will keep 4-6 Horses; 10-12 chickens&ducks and 2-3 dogs . f]. As stated,as many as 20-25 cars and light trucks per day,and not likely more than one grapple truck(ie-8-10 wheels,4-12 tons) per week will access this site. g]. Fire protection will be provided by Ft Lupton FPD h]. Our water source is a Well (#85665)& Brantner ditch rights for agriculture. i]. Our current septic is a 2000 gallon tank and Leach field, permit#G19722104. j]. We propose to build covered sheds for drying lumber(2000 sf)and will be utilizing "2700sf of existing barns to display and sell finished lumber. ` 6. We are not adjusting the grade on any of the property, except for some flattening in the log area and improvements to the drainage channels(specifically: we will be regrading the storm flow lines from the east side of the business area towards the south (arena)drainage). We will utilize present landscaping(trees,fences, driveways and parking areas), with an extension of—6000 sf for log storage and truck circle. This new area will be screened on the 2 visible sides (S &W) by a 6'tall privacy fence. And we will be planting 20-30 new trees. 7. If our usage should be terminated, the reclamation to past usage would be minimal. 8. Storm water drainage in the business use area will be altered on the east edge to flow into the southern slope towards the overflow pond. All hardscape areas are upslope of pasture, and will drain into at least a 300' run of pasture, before draining to pond. 9. All improvements to the site are expected to be completed within 2-3 months of use approval. 10. Our only proposed waste will be sawdust and shavings, both of which are gathered at the point of generation and placed into a landscape bay to be sold as product. Slabs or low quality lumber will be sold as such, or as firewood stock. We have incidental uses of chainsaws and gas engines—the gas and oil for which will be stored in a closed cabinet, as per ANSI Z117.1. We contract with Gator trash hauling company for waste removal.

As our emission of suspended particulates,even if we did not utilize source capture(air filtration), is well below the guidelines from table 3 of the 2010 SMALL BUSINESS COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION WORKBOOK,the state does not mandate an Air Permit. No public sewer is located within 400 ft. The existing septic(permit it 619722104)was designed for a commercial (horse breeding)facility. The 2000 Gallon tank was emptied and the system inspected and approved in May 2011. Waste Management Plan • As our business prides ourselves on utilizing appropriate technology, 90% of our processing activities involve electrical power and no chemicals beyond lubricants or soap. We do expect to utilize the following chemicals in our operation: Gasoline, 2 &4-cycle motor oil; WD-40 or other lubricants; Mineral spirits, linseed oil, polyurethanes for wood finishing; we will follow all applicable ANSI standards for the storage and utilization of these products. We have a contract with Gator Services for weekly trash disposal. No vehicles or equipment will be washed on site. • • TC Woods Noise Abatement Policy Our Noise Abatement program accounts for noise generated by all processing equipment emitting greater than 80 db(a gas lawnmower); the location of the machinery; and the controls in place to alleviate issues to both operators and the surrounding environment. 1] Chainsaws(from 20 to 88cc);utilized in log receiving area (to W.of Mill shed),at minimum of 400 ft to nearest AG property. Chainsaw db ratings average from 90-115 at 3'from source(ie- operator). For anyone operating chainsaws PPE is mandatory,with hearing protection in the 25-30db range. This brings the operator exposure down below the OSHA regulated 8Sdb range. For exposure to neighboring properties the db reduction from 3 to 384' is 42db,which would also bring sound exposure from our loudest saw well below the 85db level,and comparable to the ambient sound level from background activity in this neighborhood. 2] Sawmills; Two bandsawmills, located in Mill building. At minimum of 400'from nearest AG property. The 10 Hp electric mill emits 80-90db—operators use of ppe's is mandatory and influence to neighboring properties is below ambient sound level. • The Gas mill peaks at 95-105 dbs at source(the 24Hp Honda engine emits 91 dbs—the blade raspiness contributes the rest). It is partially mitigated by the sides of the''%open shed, but evenso the diminishment by distance more than brings the audible sound at nearest AG property lines to below the ambient level. 3]. Secondary wood processing equipment; 10 Hp planer{104},5 Hp Jointer{108}, 3Hp Dust Collector{88}, 3hp Tablesaw{98},Other shop tools{72 to 93}. All power equipment is operated with appropriate ppe's. All machinery is in insulated, enclosed building to north of Mill building. Sounds from secondary processing will not be above ambient level to any nearest property line. [Though the distance to the North, C3 property is less in all instances(to 150'at nearest),the emitted sound levels still fall well below the ambient sound levels at the property line(as there is a solid wall of buildings between,and the heavy machinery utilized by the Ramirez trucking,oilfield &cattle company runs from 90 to 130 dbs). We intend to build another sound barrier fence as soon as possible to alleviate the sound coming from this N property line.] • TC Woods Dust Mitigation Program There are 3 possible causes of dust at the proposed facility: Traffic on non-paved sections of the turn-in and parking areas; soil blowing in the 6000sf area where present landscaping will be altered; wood dust from either the mill or the secondary processing buildings. A]. The access road and turn-in to our parking area are road base and gravel, the parking area is currently graveled. Until we are able to do any paving, we will mitigate dust with a water truck. B]. In the—6000sf area where we will be building a 1300sf millshed, and leveling the grade for a log receiving area to the west and to direct storm water flows from the east to the south, soil will be disturbed during the construction process. We will enclose this area with a 4' high fence before construction begins and it will remain shielded with a 6'tall privacy fence on the S &W sides. C]. In both the primary(mill)and secondary processing buildings both dust collection (at point of origin)and air filtration systems will be utilized in any activities that produce dust. Any further emission of suspended particulates, is well below the guidelines from table 3 of the State of Colorado 2010 SMALL BUSINESS COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION WORKBOOK, and will not negatively impact any surrounding areas. • • FOIVIMERCIAL SITES, PLEASE COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BUSINESS EMERGENCY INFORMATION: Business T '303 6C(-- Name: l � woods LLC� L C Phone: Address: S(0( (oity R3 23 City, ST,Zip: f to r vA I (0 $O 6,21 Business Owner: 0 Oln Odt 91 Phone: 3133 666 ��gq Home Address: 51 0(0 Cosrkj 0. 23 City, ST, Zip:F—t, Lit CO W 621 List three persons in the order to be called in the event of an emergency: 0 Jtik NAME TITLE ADDRESS \PHONE C r a y d dh ie n1 it r 51106 Co ml-y R. 130F+, Lvp')un (O a)6 2 % 3O 3 5707-' C 'KU Sd vAer 51,9 Ck,(c 351i s, e s i t v;sv;�IQ (0Isttiz� -303 toq_g6a3 _ (3?-1-5y 0(4 �s ►S#{r (4--; s-1t Dr. colt- Co MIS 363 tYq 3(60 Business p� Hours: l' 5 r1— � to " '( 501- Days: Type of Alarm: CNone Burglar Holdup Fire Silent Audible Nand address of Alarm Company: Location of Safe: &i 0 MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION: (c) Kp N,t s( n I y� Number of entry/exit doors in this building: Location(s):(O'tn) • n170,(+�$ `� MA 154"C2) (1o%,% (o/r • 3 S .

Stormwater flow from off-site is minimal. 2). The western %2 of the property drains into the pond, and thence to Brighton ditch; the eastern 1/2 of the property drains directly to Brighton ditch. 3). See attached map for flow arrows 4). Previous drainage problems have not been evident, as the drainage has a 200-500 ft run thru an established grass pasture. Except for the NE corner of the property, where the storm flow exits thru dirt/gravel and weeds. We intend to place a small capture reservoir at the E end of this channel, before • it enters the brighton ditch. Our proposed usage will not effect any of these historic flows. Hello
