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.
Resolution USR11-0013

• 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 bars, 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.

Weld County, Colorado.
LOCATION: East of and adjacent to CR 41 and south of CR 24.
Tom Parko, Planning Services, stated that the owner of record is Steve Sharp. Mr. Sharp's proposed
business at this location is fabrication and maintenance. The business specializes in assisting customers with
transporting mining equipment, wind turbines and high-power transformers and switchgear which are
considered specialized freight. Sharp Transportation retrofits trailers to accommodate significant weight loads
and performs maintenance. The applicant intends to construct a shop and will have some outside storage and
parking. The owner has agreed to install an opaque fence around the perimeter of the property.

hours may be extended.
The proposed site is not located within a three-mile referral area. However, the Town of Hudson was sent a
referral and they responded with no concerns or objections.
Nine referral agencies have reviewed this case and three offered comments, some with specific conditions.
Staff received one email from an adjacent property owner in opposition of the project. Mr. Parko read the
email into record.
The Department of Planning Services recommends approval of this application with the attached conditions of
approval and development standards.
Don Carroll, Public Works, stated that County Road 41 is classified as a collector roadway, requiring 80 feet of
right-of-way at build out. Staff has requested that the applicant designate an additional 10 foot of future right-
of-way on the plat. In addition, staff requested that the applicant install a tracking control pad at the access to
prevent debris and rock from tracking onto the paved road.
Lauren Light, Environmental Health, stated that water will be provided by an individual well. They can use the
existing well permit as long as they follow the allocations that this permit allows for. An engineered septic
system, approved by the Board of Health, will need to be installed.
Ms. Light said that Development Standards 12 and 13 have references regarding phase 3 and it appears to be
a typo and needs to be deleted. She recommended deleting the last sentence in Development Standard 12
and ending the sentence after"provided" in Development Standard 13.

. Commissioner Maxey noted that according to the visual map it appears that there is a large chunk taken out of
an irrigated pivot. He inquired how many acres are being taken out of production. Mr. Parko replied that 34.6
acres will be taken out of production. He added that Mr. Sharp owns all of the property around this parcel as
well and intends to continue to use the center pivot on site for agricultural production.
Mr. Carroll requested to delete Items A and B on Page 5 under"Please add the following notes to the plat". In
addition, he requested to move Items C and D to Development Standards and renumber accordingly.
Jason Maxey moved to delete Items A and B and move Items C and D to Development Standards as stated
by staff, seconded by Bill Hall. Motion carried.
Bob Harrison, Construction Management Systems, 3500 E. 156th Ave, Brighton, CO, stated that he represents
Steve Sharp and the construction of his shop facilities. Mr. Sharp is an Over-the-Road, Oversized Equipment
Hauler involved extensively in the oil and wind industry. He does occasionally haul grain trailers as well. This
site will be used for the temporary storage of his trailers as they are load specific trailers.
Commissioner Maxey asked if there were any comments with regard to the opposition from the surrounding
property owner. Mr. Harrison said that after Mr. Parko sent him the opposition letter he went to talk to the
landowner; however he did not notice any activity on the site. He returned the following day and noticed that
all the vehicles were gone. He added that he has not been able to make contact with them but will continue to
try and alleviate any concerns they may have.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application. No
one wished to speak.
The Chair asked the applicant if he read through the amended Development Standards and Conditions of
Approval and if they are in agreement with those. The applicant replied that he is in agreement.
• Robert Grand moved that Case USR11-0013, be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners along with
the amended Conditions of Approval and Development Standards with the Planning Commission's
recommendation of approval, seconded by Benjamin Hansford.

Berryman, yes; Robert Grand, yes; Bill Hall, yes; Alexander Zauder, yes; Jason Maxey, yes; Benjamin
Hansford, yes; Mark Lawley, yes; Tom Holton, yes. Motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Maxey commented that he doesn't like to see that many acres being taken out of prime
irrigated ground; however after noting that the same property owner owns the surrounding land he was in favor
of Mr. Sharp doing what he wants to do with his business and property.
Robert Grand left the meeting at 3:24 pm.
