Gathman Case Number: USR-1741 Hearing Date: June 1, 2010 Applicant: Roswell & Kerry Checketts, 21506 County Road 43, LaSalle, CO. 80615 Applicant's Representative: Tim Naylor, AGPROfessionals LLC, 3450 Highway 66, Longmont, CO 80504 Request: A Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for an Agricultural Service establishment primarily engaged in performing agricultural, animal husbandry or horticultural services on a fee or contract basis including a Livestock Confinement Operation (expansion of an existing dairy to a total of 1,400 animals including milking cows, dry cows, heifers and calves) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Legal Description: Lots A& B of Recorded Exemption RE-3556; Located in the S2NW4 of Section 15, Township 4 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado Location: East of and adjacent to County Roads 43 and approximately'IA mile north of County • Road 44 Size of Parcel: +/- 79.66 acres Parcel Number: 1055 15 200067 & 1055 15 200066 Situs Address: 21506 County Road 43, LaSalle, CO 80645 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 A.Goal 1. states "Respect and encourage the continuation of agricultural land uses and agricultural operations for purposes which enhance the economic health and sustainability of agriculture." Sec. 22-4-190.a states: "Agricultural waste results from the raising of crops or animals, including animal manures,that are returned to the soils as fertilizer or soil conditioners. Improperly managed agricultural waste can impact public health. Agricultural waste must • be managed and processed appropriately to protect human and environmental health." USR-1741 - Checketts (Dairy) Page 3 Section 22-2-20 A.Goal 2.states: "Continue the commitment to viable agriculture in Weld County through mitigated protection of established(and potentially expanding) agricultural • uses from other proposed new uses that would hinder the operations of the agricultural enterprises." This use is a proposed expansion of an existing dairy on the property. There is not an existing use by special permit on the site. The applicant is proposing to add additional pens to the east of the existing. Dairies are agricultural related uses. The Department of Planning Services is requiring a Landscape and Screening Plan and a Lighting Plan be submitted to address the impacts from the expansion of this dairy facility on neighboring properties and rights-of-way. 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 B.16 of the Weld County Code provides for livestock confinement operations 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 properties are all zoned agricultural. The site is located in an agricultural area. The site is located within 1/4 mile of four(4) single family residences to the west and south. Two (2) additional single family residences are located to the north. The Latham View Estates PUD(4 total lots)is located approximately Y mile to the north. The Department of Planning Services is requiring a Landscape and Screening plan and a Lighting plan be submitted to address the impacts from the expansion of this feedlot. The Department of Planning Services is also requiring that the applicant will be required to adhere to specific Development Standards imposed by the County as well as Confined Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) regulations. This will ensure the facility is operating in compliance with numerous conditions which would not be required for a facility operating as a use-by-right. • 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 proposed facility expansion is located within the three-mile referral area of the Town of LaSalle but not within the urban growth boundary of the Town of LaSalle as delineated in the LaSalle/Weld County Coordinated Planning Agreement(adopted by Weld County and codified under Chapter 19, Article XI of the Weld County Code). The site is located approximately 1.25 miles southeast of the urban growth boundary for the Town of LaSalle. The Town of LaSalle, in their referral response dated June 24, 2010, indicated that the dairy expansion could lessen the desirability for estate residential development in the primary and secondary growth boundaries for the Town of La Salle. Additionally, concerns were expressed that it may be difficult to determine if odor nuisances... are caused by this operation given the number of feedlots/dairies within a two-mile radius of this site. It was also mentioned that this dairy expansion could impact the Town of LaSalle Transportation Plan which is expected to be completed in July. The Town of LaSalle encourages that the county require deadlines for the applicant to demonstrate that conditions of approval for this USR have been addressed. The Department of Planning Services is requiring conditions of approval (a landscape and screening plan and lighting plan along with CAFO conditions and development standards)to address compatibility with existing and future development of the surrounding area. The Department of Planning Services is requiring, should this be approved, that conditions of approval be addressed and the plat be submitted for recording no later than 60 days after the • Board of County Commissioners hearing. Should the conditions of approval and plat not be completed within 60 days, then this case will proceed through the violation process. USR-1741 - Checketts (Dairy) Page 4 e. Section 23-2-220.A.5--The application complies with Section 23-5 of the Weld County Code. • The proposed facility does not lie within the boundaries of any overlay district. 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 proposed lots 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) f. Section 23-2-220.A.6--The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve prime agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use.The proposed Use by Special Review will be located on that part of the property considered"Prime(Irrigated)"according to the U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation Map, dated 1979. The use of the land will remain in an agricultural related use. g. Section 23-2-220.A.7 -- The Design Standards (Section 23-2-240, Weld County Code), Operation Standards (Section 23-2-250, Weld County Code), Conditions of Approval and Development Standards ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County. This recommendation is based, in part, upon a review of the application materials submitted by the applicant, other relevant information regarding the request, and responses from referral entities. The Department of Planning Services met with the applicant's representative on April 20, 2010 to discuss the referrals received. Staff recommended that the applicant hold a community meeting with adjacent property owners. The applicant's representative indicated that the applicant has had discussions with some of the neighboring property owners. The Conditions of Approval outlined below are the remaining items that still need • to be addressed. There is a zoning violation (ZCV09-00247) issued due to the number of animal units exceeding the amount allowed as a Use by Right in the A (Agricultural)Zone District without a Use by Special Review permit. This case was heard in front of the Board of County Commissioners through a violation hearing on December 8, 2009 and legal action was delayed until February 8, 2010 to allow the applicant additional time to submit a Use by Special Review Permit application. A complete application was submitted on January 27, 2010. This application, if approved, will correct the zoning violation. If for any reason, this application is denied, the violation case will proceed accordingly through a violation hearing and possibly district court.

Thanks Tim Naylor • Original Message 2 From: Troy Swain • • Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 2010 10:07 AM •: Chris Gathman Cc: Lauren Light Subject: Health Department comments 7-day completeness review for Marcellina Dairy The Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment has reviewed the Marcellina Dairy materials for completeness and offers the following comments: How will the milk parlor wash wastes be conveyed to the settling basin and impoundment system proposed on the east side of the property? Please provide information and design details in your USR Application to ensure the conveyance is of the proper pipe size, slope, flow, and is provided with any necessary cleanouts. The following change has been made to the Preliminary Waste System *sign The facility currently has a 6" PVC pipeline that runs from a reception drain at the east end of the parlor to the pond location at an approximate 1.75% to 2% slope. This pipeline conveys process water only from the cleaning operations in the parlor. This existing pipeline is estimated to safely convey approximately 1 CFS which is in excess of the expected flow generated from the parlor. The greatest flow expected will be when the flush tanks are dumped to clean the cow deck. This intermittent high flow will flush the pipeline clean with its approximate 2% slope and relatively high velocity of 5.6 ft/sec. The pipeline runs within the surface drainage area and thus any potential failure of the pipeline will not cause a fault or spill offsite. The plans provided include a transfer pipe to take the open lot wastewater from the corrals to the sediment basin. The transfer pipe will need to be designed to adequately capture and convey run-off from the corrals during storm events. What design measures will be taken to ensure the pipe doesn't plug or backup during a storm event? Will an inlet structure be included in the design of the transfer pipe? There should be no ponding at the transfer pipe inlet or inlet structure illnless any expected ponding volumes (due to flow rate limitations) are a lined area of conveyance or an impoundment. Note: CDPHE Environmental Agriculture Program plans to change the policy commonly referred to as the "48-hour rule" for pooling effluent. Please provide 3 the design details for the posed transfer pipe conveyance sm in the USR Application. .e following change has been made to the Preliminary Waste System Design The site naturally slopes to the east towards the proposed pond location. A natural ridge is located at the east end of the corral area where oilfield pipelines are buried. A diversion berm will be constructed along the north edge of the corrals which will impound water and provide an elevated surface for the proposed access road. This berm will contain water and prevent it from running naturally to the north. A two stage conveyance will be installed to convey all flows from this impounded area to the sediment basin. The first stage will be a culvert drain installed in the lowest point that will convey all normal small flows from snowmelt and rainfall events to the pond system. An earthen spillway channel will be constructed to safely convey flows from large storm events to the sediment basin. Preliminary sizing shows that a maximum expected runoff from the corral area during a 25yr-24hr storm event is 56 CFS. Preliminary sizing shows that an 8 in PVC pipe installed in the lowest ocation and under the gas pipelines to the sediment basin will flow proximately 1.8 CFS before it begins flowing over the weir section. A Oft wide by 2ft deep broad crested weir will flow approximately 200 CFS. This 2 stage system will easily convey all expected flows from a 25yr-24hr storm event to the wastewater ponds. The pipeline inlet will include some sort of screening such as an agri-drain inlet. This inlet type is ideal for this type of application as it allows for flow even as foreign material accumulates on the screen. Spill protection will be installed in all sediment basin/pond inlets to ensure that the flow of water into the pond does not erode and compromise the integrity of the pond liner. On page 4 of the Preliminary Wastewater System Design, groundwater is described as not being a design concern based on subsurface exploration (bores) and your proposed impoundment depth. Please provide the details, such as bore locations and water elevations/depth with your USR ,plication. 4 Borings and subsequent readi of piezometers indicate that s•ow groundwater is not a concern. The trip reports from these investigations have been added to the Preliminary Waste System Design itiport. See attached mark-up. Regarding #5.i. of the USR Questionnaire: Septic system information was provided for the 2-bedroom home on the west of the property and the 3-bedroom home on the east. No septic information for sanitary wastes from the milk parlor was provided or exists in this Department's files. Where are the sanitary wastes from the milk parlor (if any fixtures such as sink, shower, toilet) disposed of now? Where are the restroom facilities for the 14 employees? A new commercial septic system will need to be installed or an engineered evaluation will need to be conducted for any planned home/office conversion and/or conversion of use of any existing systems. Please include what your specific plans are in the USR Application. The sanitary sewer system may need to be upgraded in order to adequately handle the employees for the proposed conditions. We request that this be added as a condition of approval, that an adequate permitted sanitary system be developed or documented prior to recording the plat. • Regarding #10. on the USR Questionnaire relating to mortality disposal, the Department will request Marcellina Dairy to maintain records of mortality removal and proper disposal to a rendering company. The commitment to maintain records for mortality disposal may be included in the Management Plan for Nuisance Control. Rationale for request: The Department received and confirmed a June 2009 complaint (Complaint C00800614) that Mr. Roswell Checketts was disposing of dead cows from the Marcellina Dairy on the ground in a treed area SW of the Speer Canal (52 of SW4 of Sec. 28, T4N, R65W.), owned by him and located approximately 3 mi. to the SSW of the dairy. All mortalities are currently being handled by a rendering company. The Nuisance Management Plan was amended to include mortality disposal and recordkeeping. See attached Nuisance Management Plan. The Department is available to discuss the above comments with the applicant and some information may be conditioned in the USR depending the results of these discussions. 5 Troy E.

Where are the sanitary wastes from the milk parlor (if any fixtures such as sink, shower, toilet) disposed of now? Where are the restroom facilities for the 14 employees? A new commercial septic system will need to be installed or an engineered evaluation will need to be conducted for any planned home/office conversion and/or conversion of use of any existing systems. Please include what your specific plans are in the USR Application. Regarding #10. on the USR Questionnaire relating to mortality disposal, the Department will request Marcellina Dairy to maintain records of mortality removal and proper disposal to a rendering company. The commitment to maintain records for mortality disposal may be included in the Management Plan for Nuisance Control. Rationale for request: The Department received and confirmed a June 2009 complaint (Complaint C00800614) that Mr. Roswell Checketts was disposing of dead cows from the Marcellina Dairy on the ground in a treed area SW of the Speer Canal (52 of SW4 of Sec. 28, T4N, R65W.), owned by him and located approximately 3 mi. to the SSW of the dairy. The Department is available to discuss the above comments with the applicant and some flipformation may be conditioned in the USR depending on the results of these discussions. Troy E.

This phase of the planning process is a content review of the submitted materials, NOT a technical review.

The Public Works Department will perform a detailed technical review of the project once the submittal application is deemed acceptable and is promoted to the review phase of the planning process. Site Plan Review: Appears to be complete for review. Traffic Study: No traffic is required. Preliminary Drainage: Appears to be complete for review. • Geotechnical Soil Report: A geotechnical soil report is not required for the drainage review.
