Thanks, Chris Gathman, AICP, Planner II Weld County Department of Planning Services 918 10th Street, Greeley,Colorado 80631 ph(970)353-6100 ext. 3540 fax(970)304-6498 From: Chris Gathman Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 1:22 PM To: 'Pat Graves' Subject: RE: 2700 WCR 10 Pat, I reviewed the plat there are a few changes. Sorry, I didn't send you anything earlier because you were going out of town. The changes are: 1) The USR boundary should only be around Lot 12. It should be shown in a darker/bolder line to distinguish from the other lots. 2) The topographic lines should be in a light font (grayscale). 3) The legal description should read "Lot 12"— because this is a special use permit on Lot 12 only Lot 12 should be indicated on the legal description. 4) A USR does not technically require a survey, therefore the Title Policy Schedule B Exceptions should not be shown on the plat. 5) Because other structures/buildings shown on the plat are not within the boundaries of the USR—they should either be removed or be shown in a lighter font(grayscale). 6) The names of the signatories on the plat should be printed below the signature block. The Clerk and Recorders Office is picky about this. I will go ahead and call/e-mail the surveyor as well.

Staff determined that the 120 x 72-foot training facility expansion would be a substantial change to USR-1348 and would require an amended USR application be submitted and approved prior to release of a permit for this addition. I also was not sure if they were proposing an expansion on the south end of the building (the 204' x 40' expansion stall area). This process typically takes approximately six months.

An amended Use by Special Review Permit will not be required. The training facility will be required to adhere to the A (Agricultural) Zone District standard of four (4) horses per acre. It is my understanding that the applicants intend to own four (4) lots within the Carlson Subdivision which would allow a total of seventy-six (76) horses to be trained on site provided that the facility generates no more than 60 trips per day to and from the facility per Section 23-3-40.Q of the Weld County Code. Additionally, if lots are sold off in the future, the operation shall be reduced by an incremental total of 19 horses per lot that is sold.

I asked whether you could give us some idea where that dividing line is. I believe you indicated that it would be very difficult to give a blanket dividing line but that the Planning Staff might well be able to tell us whether my clients' intended use would fit under the 2001 Resolution if we sent you a statement of their intended use, etc. As a result, I enclose a brief statement explaining my clients' intended use of and development for the property. Please give us the Planning Office's opinion (formal or informal) as to whether you would be able to recommend to the County that my client's described uses would fit under the 2001 Resolution. Also, we sent the Agreement to Anadarko about 10 days ago, but it is my understanding that their chief legal counsel on this, Jeff Fiske, has been buried with work but is trying to get to it ASAP.

It wasn't until last week that I realized there had been some email disconnect between my clients and me, which was exacerbated by the holidays and snowstorms. In any case, in answer to your questions from your email of 12/15/06, I enclose a statement from my clients. In addition, please note: : 1) Is the veterinarian going to be having an office on site (or is his just visiting the site occasionally??? See enclosed, but note that the breeding, blacksmith and veterinarian services will be periodic and will only be for animals already being boarded or trained there. 2) How many people are anticipated to be going to and from the site for horse training and any training classes?? It is difficult to estimate this figure. Many of the owners have five or more horses, and many owners do not live nearby. So, although there may be four horses per acre, my clients would be surprised if there were 10 people per day, other than staff, visiting. 3) How many horses are the applicants anticipating having on-site? See enclosed. 4) Finally, are the applicants anticipating having any horse shows/events? Yes. See enclosed. Sincerely, Huntington C.

It is not in our plan to operate as a public boarding facility or as a hobby business. Tom Forehand, lead trainer, will have approximately 60 horses in his program. These horses will be owned by Mr. Forehand, by our ownership entity, and by others who have committed their horses to our training program. Many of the clients are not local residents or even from this state in many instances. We anticipate little owner traffic on a daily basis. To further our reputation in the industry, we will occasionally have clinics or schooling shows. However, this will not be a significant activity. We will provide breeding, blacksmith and veterinary services as needed. There will be a small lab on-site, but there will not be a full-time veterinarian. The total operation will comfortably operate within the allowed stocking rate of four horses per acre.

One parcel is occupied by a residence(approximately 2,000 sq-ft)a garage/shop and sheds.Two parcels have no permanent structures on thcm. On the 4th parcel a high-quality steel structure was erected in 2002 to be used as a horse facility. It is made up of an 11,000 sq-ft stall area and a 30,000 sq-ft riding arcna.The facility has had little use,but is in need of some finishing work for it to be used as a horse-training facility. Our operating plan is to utilize the facility with the addition of improvements as a horse training facility. The location of the property puts it in an area north of Denver and close to Erie that is beginning to see the conversion of agricultural ground into multi-family and light commercial. Our expectation is that the subject property would likely fall into the development category sometime in the next five to seven years. Property Use Plan We envision using the entire 20 acre site for this operation.However,the majority of the activity will take place on the SE parcel;the site of the existing structure.The operation will entail boarding animals for training purposes as opposed to general boarding common to most facilities of this type.Therefore,the general level of activity on the property and travel on and off the property will be somewhat reduced.The majority of the animals arc owned by non- local residents whose interest is in the development of their animal not in regular visits or riding the animal. Ownership Patricia(Pat)and Frederick(Fritz)Graves,or their legal entity,will purchase the property and will have over-all responsibility for the property and its operation. The Graves have more than 40 years of farm and food production,handling,and distribution experience and have been involved with livestock including horses since the mid-1960's. Currently the Graves are actively involved in the operation of two businesses located in Denver.Pat's company FMG,Inc.is specifically engaged in the warehousing and distribution of perishable foods. Ranch Operation& Facility The Graves have chosen a ranch manager,Tracy Horner,to live on the property and manage the daily activities involved with the care,housing,and feeding of the animals.The existing structure will house the majority of the daily activity. 12/7/2006 1 • • This near-new 40,000 sq-ft steel structure is in need of finishing work in the important areas of electrical,rest-room facilities,and in horse safety additions in the arena riding area.In addition,new areas will be located for short-term manure storage& loading, and for hay& bedding storage. Plans also call for one additional structure to be used as an indoor horse work-out area and would include round pens&horse-walkers. Space in the facility will be provided for horse service specialists such as podiatry care, equine therapy,and breeding.These and other such services will only be made available if they support the overall objective of the operation which is the training and conditioning of selected animals for the purpose of improving their value. The facility will not be open to use by the general public,but it could occasionally be used for clinics or schooling shows.These activities or events will be designed to advance the business vision of a high-quality equine training facility. A secondary use could be to make the arena available for use by local clubs,or 4-H type groups.These events would likely be held on weekend days or selected evenings. Training Operation The training operation will be under the control and direction of Tom Forehand,a well established trainer and exhibitor of horses.Tom's entity will operate under a lease arrangement with the Graves entity.The management of the training operation is that of Tom Forehand.The management of the facility and property is the responsibility of the Graves' entity. 2700 Weld County Road 10 Erie, CO 80516 2 it;SN) DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES NORTH OFFICE 918 10TH Street ' GREELEY, CO 80631 C.

These guidelines apply to residential and commercial structures, schools, and churches, and were not meant to be used for ancillary buildings, such as barns, sheds, or gazebos, where structural integrity and cosmetic damage are less of a concern. The standard for ancillary buildings applies for other geologic hazards, such as rockfall and debris flow hazards. Therefore, a subsidence investigation for placement of a barn over an abandoned mine would not be required. Please call me if there are any questions. Yours truly, �/ iCelia Green Geologist Weld County Department of Planning Services January 4, 2002 Attention: Chris Gathman Re: USR-1348 Geological Hazard Overlay District Development Permit Chris, Per our conversation, I am requesting an exempt status for the Geological Hazard permit for the horse barn project for the USR-1348. The Engineered foundation currently proposed will make a safe secure facility. The data and the reports supplied have the information to support our position. I have received from the State, maps indicating that the area under our proposed structure has been mined. The Clayton Coal mine covers many miles in our area including under our home and pond. Our home was built in 1972 with no engineered foundation and at present no evidence of subsidence damage. In reference to the letter from Celia Greenman of the Colorado State Geological Survey dated February 12, 2001 regarding Subsidence Investigation Requirements, I have spoken to Mrs. Greenman and she indicated that the investigation requirements were for houses. And not necessarily all houses depending on the mine depth. Clayton mine shaft and depth information has been well documented. The mine depth is 200 plus feet in the proposed construction area. Mrs. Greenman indicated on 1/4/02 that she would contact you regarding this matter. Lastly, we are building with a U occupancy classification of the Uniform Building Code. The U occupancy and the exemptions stated on page 4 of the Weld County Geologic Hazard Overlay District Application should give us our requested exemption. It is not our intent to cut corners or make an unsafe structure. We have done our home- work and consulted the proper geological, soils and foundation experts. I hope this is the information necessary to release the building permits. Chris, if you have any question, please give me a call 303.828.4661. iS' c ely, Icy /01.
