Al: The current property owners are requesting to obtain a USR permit that will allow them to keep (13) permanent household dogs and up to an additional (12)outside dogs(maximum of 25 dogs total)at their primary residence located at 14015 Weld County Road. This request is for personal (non commercial) use only. Over the past 16 years, Pamela Weiss(formerly Sheley) has been working with regional animal rescue organizations, shelters, police departments,and fellow property owners to foster and adopt dogs into new homes. In 2005, she and her now current husband, Michael Weiss purchased (2) adjacent 80- acre parcels located approximately 1.5 miles east on County Road 26 just south of Platteville and subsequently built a home that is now their primary residence. The primary reason for the property purchase was to enjoy a more rural living environment in addition to allowing more space for other livestock such as horses and some of the rescued dogs currently being fostered up to that point in time. Pamela has decided to discontinue dog rescue activities in order to spend more time with grandchildren,traveling, and pursuing other personal interests. Though she is no longer actively fostering new dogs for home placement, she and Michael have acquired (13) personal household dogs as a result of her past rescue efforts. In addition, Pamela and Michael occasionally watch and temporarily hold additional dogs for family and friends when necessary. The additional dogs are kept outside near the primary residence within specifically designed pens that consist of 6 foot high chain link fencing and wood framed dog houses. In addition to the above dogs, Pamela and Michael also own other livestock consisting of(6) horses, (4)goats, and (1) mule which are also contained within fenced regions to the south and east of the primary residence. • Q2: Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County, Chapter 22 of the Comprehensive Plan. A2: The current property is located within an agriculture zoned district and consists of primarily dry land pasture. The above site/ residence closely matches that of a hobby farm within a rural environment (as supported in Section 22-2-20, F2 policy 6.2). Adequate sanitary sewage and water systems both exist and are capable of supporting the primary residence, livestock, and additional dogs described above. All water is provided by an existing well (permit 251600). The use of ground water from this well is limited to fire protection,ordinary household purposes inside not more than three (3) single family dwellings,the watering of poultry, domestic animals and livestock on a farm or ranch and the irrigation of not more than one (1) acre of home gardens and lawns. This well is considered full-use by definition of the above description. Household waste is collected in a commercial sized dumpster located approximately 1/8 mile east of the primary residence and removed on a monthly based by Waste Management Services of Northern Colorado. Dog waste is removed from local pens and surrounding area around the residence and deposited in the commercial dumpster described above. The occasional noise from outside dogs barking is well contained by the placement of the pens with respect to the natural topography of the property and is no different than that typically heard from a well run agricultural farm/crop dusting business(farm machinery/aerial spraying aircraft noise). Additional landscaping is proposed to further address any potential noise concerns for the outside dogs. All household dogs are kept indoors at night therefore, eliminating the noise concern for these. Traditional stormwater drainage is unaffected by the location of the outside pens and location of the primary residence located on the property. No other water sources(rivers, streams,ditches, • ponds, etc) exist on the property except for the domestic water well. Natural stormwater drainage typically flows from east to west following the gradual topography contours of the land. No previous Weiss USR Application Questionnaire Page 1 SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW (USR) (QUESTIONNAIRE) • drainage problems have been experienced since the primary residence was constructed in 2005. No adjacent rivers, streams, or other bodies of water exist near the property and are affected by natural storm water flow/drainage. Q3: Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County, Chapter 23 (Zoning)and the zone district in which it is located.
