Legal Description: SE-218; being part of the SW4NW4 of Section 27, T5N, R64W the 6th P.M . , Weld County, CO Location: East of and adjacent to County Road 55 and approximately '/ mile South of • County Road 54 Size of Parcel: +/- 2.79 Acres Parcel Number: 0963 27 000034 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 22-5-100D. B OG Goal 2 states: "Ensure that the extraction of oil and gas resources conserves the land and minimizes the impact on surrounding land and the existing surrounding land uses." The original Use by Special Review USR-625 was approved on June 6, 1984 under reception number 01970997 for a natural gas processing facility. Since 1984 the Weld County Department of Planning Services has not received any complaints regarding this facility. Therefore the addition of a compressor, storage area, and communication tower shall continue to be compatible with • the surrounding uses with the appropriate screening. Section 23-2-240.A. 10 of the Weld County Codes states ". . .that buffering or screening of the proposed use from adjacent properties may be required in order to make the determination that the proposed use is AmUSR-625 AKA Energy Group, LLC Page 2 compatible with the surrounding uses." The site is currently screened on all four sides • with slats through the chain link fence. B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the Agricultural (A) Zone Districts. Sections 23-3-40.A.2 of the Weld County Code allows for A Site Specific Development Plan and an Amended Special Review Permit for oil and gas support and service (natural gas processing facility amended to include an additional compressor and storage areas) 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 property to the north, south, east and west are zoned (A) Agricultural. The property is located with the three mile referral areas for the Town of Kersey. The Town of Kersey indicated in their referral dated 9/15/09 no conflicts with the proposed development. Therefore, given the minimal impact of the proposed Amendment (additional compressor, storage areas, and communication tower) the use will be compatible with the surrounding land uses, as the surrounding area is agricultural in nature with a few single family residences in the area. Staff believes that the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards will ensure that the use will be compatible with existing surrounding land uses. 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 property is not located within an Intergovernmental Agreement Area but does lies within the three mile referral area for the Town of Kersey. The Town of Kersey indicated in their referral dated 9/15/09 no conflicts with the proposed development. The surrounding area is Agricultural in nature with a few single family residences in the area. Staff believes that the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards will ensure that the use will be compatible with existing surrounding land uses. E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Article V of the Weld County Code. The existing site is within the County Road Impact Fee Area, Capital Expansion Impact Fee, and the Stormwater/Drainage Impact Fee area. 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 subject site 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 subject site is classified as "Irrigated Land Not Prime" as delineated on the Important Farmlands of Weld County map, dated 1979. This size of the parcel (2.79 acres) and is currently developed under Use By Special Review USR-625 therefore it is not conducive to agricultural uses. G. Section 23-2-220.A.7 - There is adequate provisions for the protection of health, safety, • and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County. The Design Standards (Section 23-2-240, Weld County Code), Operation Standards AmUSR-625 AKA Energy Group, LLC Page 3 (Section 23-2-250, Weld County Code), Conditions of Approval and Development Standards can ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.

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. 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, G.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. AmUSR-625 AKA Energy Group, LLC Page 8 Water has been, and continues to be, the lifeline for the agricultural community. It is unrealistic to 4111 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 burs, 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. i • AmUSR-625 AKA Energy Group, LLC Page 9 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES 918 10T" Street GREELEY, CO 80631 PHONE: (970) 353-61O0, Ext. 3540 FAX: (970) 304-6498 111k COLORADO December 2, 2009 Aka Energy Group, LLC c/o Wade Hill 8952 Gander Valley Ln Windsor CO 80550 Subject: AmUSR-625- A Site Specific Development Plan and Amended Use by Special Review Permit for an Oil and Gas Support and Service (natural gas processing facility amended to include an additional compressor and storage areas) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District on a parcel of land described as SE-218; being part of the SW4NW4 of Section 27, T5N, R64W of the 6th P.M., Weld County: Colorado.

As depicted the existing contours indicate that a large portion of the existing site drains to the north and west off-site and undetained. As a result, the proposed grading plan depicts the northwest and the northeast corners of the site to be raised some in order to allow for more of the site to be drained to the pond. In addition a swale has been depicted to the west of the existing office as discussed on-site in order to help route the stormwater towards the southeastern limits of the property where the pond is proposed. The area where the existing pond is located has been deepened approximately 0.5' to 1.5'and lengthened towards the north to allow for the required storage volume.
