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 Planning Commission 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 22-2-150D.A Goal 4 states: "Conversion of agricultural land to nonurban residential,
commercial and industrial uses will be accommodated when the subject site is in an area that
can support such development. Such development shall attempt to be compatible with the
region." The surrounding development pattern East of CR 1 is residential with outbuildings
• and similar development patterns exist in Boulder County. 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
compatible with the surrounding uses." The applicant is proposing to plant a natural
windbreak of plant materials adjacent to the North property line. Additional screening is
requested as a Condition of Approval.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2--The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the Agricultural(A)
Zone District. Section 23-3-40.R of the Weld County Code allows for A Site Specific
Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for a business permitted as a use by right or
accessory use in the Commercial Zone District (Landscaping Business) in the A
(Agricultural)Zone District.
Currently the property is in violation (ZCV09-00295) for the operation of a tree trimming
business without an approved and recorded Use by Special Review permit (USR). If the
USR is approved, the violation will be closed. If denied, the case shall be referred to the
County Attorney's office but delay legal action for 30 days in order to give the applicant time
to ensure that the business is removed from the property.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3--The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses.
The property to the north, south,and east are in Weld County and are predominately small to
medium acreages with single family residences and outbuildings. To the North is a
residential development, the Bohrer PUD. West of the Mayer property is Boulder County with
a similar development pattern.
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 t
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 lay within
the three mile referral area for the City of Longmont and the Towns of Firestone and Mead.
The City of Longmont is their referral dated March 1, 2010 indicated no conflicts with their
interests. The Towns of Firestone and Mead did not return a referral.
It is the opinion of Staff 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,

agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use.
The subject site is classified as "Prime If Irrigated Farmlands of National Importance" as
delineated on the Important Farmlands of Weld County map, dated 1979. This size of the
parcel (1.32 acres) is currently developed as a residential property therefore it is not
conducive to farming.
• 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.

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

37. 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, C.R.S., provides
that an agricultural operation shall not be found to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural
Resolution USR-1738
Jamin&Beth Mayer
Page 8
• 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, sandburs, 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.

The Chair read the following case into record.
CASE NUMBER: USR-1738
APPLICANT: Jamin& Beth Mayer
PLANNER: Kim Ogle
REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a
Home Business(Parker Tree Service-and organic vegetative recycle of mulch
and wood) in the A(Agricultural)Zone District.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot B SE-755; being part of the SW4 of Section 19,T3N, R68W of the 6th
P.M.,Weld County, Colorado.
LOCATION: East of CR 1 and approximately 1/2 mile north of State Hwy 66.
Kim Ogle, Planning Services, commented that the signs for the Planning Commission and the Board of
County Commissioners were posted July 15, 2010 by planning staff.
The property is not located within an Intergovernmental Agreement area but does lie within the three mile
referral area for the City of Longmont and the Towns of Firestone and Mead. The City of Longmont in their
referral dated March 1,2010 indicated no conflicts with their interests. The Towns of Firestone and Mead did
not return a referral.
Access is from County Road 1, which is a paved collector status road maintained by Weld County.
Currently the property is in violation (ZCV09-00295)for the operation of a tree trimming business without an
approved and recorded use by special review permit. If the permit is approved the violation will be closed.
• The business is located at a residence on a Subdivision Exemption parcel. Adjacent parcels to the property to
the north, south and east are in Weld County and are predominately small to medium acreages with single-
family residences with outbuildings. To the north is a residential development and to the west is Boulder
County with a similar developed pattern.
Fourteen referral agencies reviewed the case; five referral agencies offered comments that were incorporated
into the conditions of approval and development standards. Aside from the letter of support, no letters or
phone calls were taken concerning this case.
The Department of Planning Services recommends approval of the case with the attached conditions of
approval and development standards.
Lauren Light, Environmental Health, commented that water is provided by Longs Peak Water District. The
septic for the home is sized for six(6)people;therefore if they exceed six(6)people per day then they need to
have that system evaluated. The applicant has indicated that the mulch piles will not exceed four(4)feet in
height.
Don Carroll, Public Works, stated that County Road 1 is a collector roadway and the traffic count is over 3,000
vehicles so it is a very busy road. The applicant is proposing to have a circle drive with two accesses to the
road. Since this is a collector status road they will be allowed one(1)access to use. If they need to improve it
they will be able to do so up to 40 feet to accommodate their vehicles; however no circle drives or additional
accesses will be allowed. The site is not located in a floodplain.
Jamin Mayer, Parker Tree Service, commented that he has a home based tree service business. He added
that he has some free mulch and firewood available on the property. The circle driveway was a proposal;
therefore he is considering widening the entrance to about 40 feet to accommodate the vehicles. He asked
what type of screening is necessary.
• Mr. Ogle commented that there is a condition of approval which requires outdoor storage of materials,
equipment, and vehicles to be screened from adjacent properties and rights-of-ways. The typical height for a
0
• fence is six(6)feet per Weld County Code. Staff will want to make sure that the height of the material on site
does not exceed the height of the fence; therefore if he wants a four foot high fence then the material could
not exceed four feet in height.
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 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 USR-1738, be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners along with
the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards with the Planning Commission's recommendation of
approval, seconded by Bill Hall.
The Chair asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. Nick
Berryman, yes; Erich Ehrlich, absent; Robert Grand, yes; Bill Hall, yes; Alexander Zauder, absent; Jason
Maxey, absent; Roy Spitzer, absent; Mark Lawley, yes; Tom Holton, yes. Motion carried unanimously.
The Chair asked the Planning Commission members if there was any new business to discuss. No one had
any further business to discuss.
Mark Lawley said that it seems we are getting a lot of violation cases and asked how much public education is
done by the County so that people understand they can't just start anything on their property. Mr. Ogle said
that presently we have no public education other than what is posted on the website. Robert Grand offered to
publish an article in the November 1st publication of the Lost Creek Guide which will go to 50,000 Weld County
residences if the Planning Department would like to write it.
