Explain,in detail, the proposed use of the property. The intent of this application is to permit the construction and operation of a dog and cat kennel on the 13.74 acre property owned by Roger and Diane Andreason at 379 Highway 52 in Weld County. Currently, the property has a single family residence situated on the south portion of the property closest to Highway 52. This proposal is to build and operate a kennel with 120 individual dog kennels and runs and 10 cat individual cat kennels north of the residence. Since families may have more than one pet to board at a time, the maximum capacity of the kennel is projected to be 150 dogs and 15 cats. In addition to the subject property, the Andreasons own the Colorado Dog Academy,a kennel that has been in business for 28 years at 12180 North Sheridan Boulevard in Broomfield, Colorado. The area surrounding their present location has fully developed with homes and retail commercial,and the Andreasons believe they should relocate Colorado Dog Academy to a more rural environment. The area surrounding the Andreason property is agricultural and aggregate mining in nature. There are four residences within 850' to 1,100 feet of the property. It is our understanding that the Town of Erie intends to build a waste water treatment facility just • north of the Andreason property. The access to the Erie property is separated from, but along the east boundary of the Andreason property. Aggregate mining is occurring east of the access. The Erie 2005 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the portion of the Andreason property with the house, that area south of the kennel USR, as an "Area of Special Consideration." The remainder of the property is designated Rural Residential by the Erie plan. The property east and west of the proposed kennel site is designated Agricultural by the Erie plan. The excerpts from the Broomfield Colorado Dog Academy brochure shown on the following pages are included to familiarize the reader with the type of kennel use and programs being proposed. • 1 Boarding • At Colorado Dog Academy,we have individual-indoor runs so that the - dogs may go in and out all day as they please,and are closed indoors at nighttime and during severe weather. The insides and outsides of the kennels are hosed out once per day and the waste is removed four times per day. The insides are heated in the � winter and cooled by industrial sized circulating fans in the summer. The insides are cleaned with both an air P di.`;wr414" s and a floor disinfectant each morning. `ac ' Each dog is provided with an appropriate sized water receptacle that is filled each morning and throughout the day as needed. Each boarder receives a platform bed so that they are off the concrete, bedding is also provided. You may bring your pet a toy or comfort item that i . . 444r1 I will make them feel more at homeduring their stay with us. At a : Colorado Dog Academy we feed yi Wellness pet foods. Wellness is an all-natural human-grade ingredients • . .- food with no wheat or corn. If you ? - ' ; prefer, you are welcome to bring w�' : � your dog's food for no additional cost. Treats are also welcome for ft a your pet to have. In order to board with us, your dog needs to be current on the following vaccinations: Distemper combination shot (DHLPP-CV), Rabies,and Bordatella (Kennel Cough). Families having more than one dog are allowed and encouraged to board the dogs together for the dogs' well-being. Medications can be administered to your pet if needed for a small fee. If your pets are on medication at home, please bring the medications to the kennel so we may follow the prescription as you do at home. k �' rg Cats are boarded in our cattery that is `, rtz separate from the boarded dogs. Each cat k* receives an individual area that receives +. ' sunlight throughout the day. We provide each cat with a cubby, blanket,dishes and litter box. Cats are fed either lams oris Wellness, or you may bring your own food Cats need to be current on Feline Distemper and Rabies. ,4$Ino 2 „° • • Additional exercise is available at your discretion. We offer either a 'A mile walk for single dogs, or an exercise pen for multiple dogs belonging to the same family. Training can also be added to your dog's stay as can grooming on the day of check out. Please speak to one of our staff members in order to reserve these additional boarding options. Daycare We offer to our clients who are ;$ looking for a fun day with friends, vidt 4R `w those looking to bone up on training, r z �� and those who just need to get out of 't°"`�`R g the house for the day. Unlike many daycares, your dog does not need to pass an interview to stay with us, but its temperament will delegate its daily � w activities. We offer walks for those -' t that are not compatible with a play 4c� r group. We have play groups for social , , , , dogs that are separated by size,age - _�;�": and temperament. This ensures that �; • small and shy dogs are not playing $4ta _ with large and rambunctious dogs that may inadvertently harm them. When not at play,each dog receives an indoor- outdoor boarding kennel (Please see boarding for further information). Daycare Hours: 8am-5:30pm Monday-Friday Daycare hours may vary due to the availability of the kennel around holidays and in the summer. • 3 t � 9 S � q y i• ti 44 Training Your Dog Colorado Dog Academy believes in the "Wolf Pack Theory".All Do's are ancestors of the wolf. All domestic dogs have a natural packing instinct. The family becomes the "� 1.104 dog's pack. We help you, the dog owner, understand how to communicate to your . " ..a.. dog that you are the pack leader through !Jim • training and daily interaction. fir+ Dogs do not have an understanding of language. When you speak to an untrained dog,you are speaking in a foreign language. Training is necessary to open up lines of communication between you and your dog. Colorado Dog Academy uses the natural method of training, which means we motivate the dog to perform behaviors on thei r own actual abilities instead of using force. Your dog will learn more easily and enjoy training more by using this method. • 4 • • • r f , / {. ( k § q- Dogs do not realize that there are certain behaviors that you do not want them to perform and you need to teach them that there are negative consequences for those behaviors. Colorado Dog Academy will teach you how to properly discipline your dog in a way that it understands naturally, without being abusive. • Boarding and Training At Colorado Dog Academy we offer atwo-week and afour-week boarding and training : t' program. -a 4 week course: We teach the s basic obedience commands; heel, frirt—ib& sit, sit/stay,down, down/stay, up, come, return to heel, inside, ,."" ,k ' . " outside, load,unload and place. C '! We also work on any problem behaviors. Throughout the four- week program, your dog is trained several timer per day. We start training in a non- distracting environment and gradually increase distractions at • the dog's pace. Eventually we are training the dog in front of shopping centers and in group classes. We also have 5 acres of land with a variety of 5 • • distractions; livestock, wild rabbits and other dogs. Your dog has its own indoor and outdoor run and is fed only premium dog food. We have four large exercise pens that your dog can play in with other dogs, if it is social. When your dog has learned all the • commands and is doing well, we set up a "send home" class with you; at that time we are training you how to handle the dog. We set up private follow-up classes and include group classes. 2 week course: Most dogs can learn the same basics as listed in the four- 1 week program during the two-week '' ' � ` program. Depending upon how 1' *' quickly the dog learns will determine u, a how much distraction training it will 4r r receive. After the two weeks we do a send home class with you and include another private follow-up class a week later to help you advance the training. If you would like to attend group classes, you may for an additional cost. Your dog is trained 7 days a week by skilled trainers. We have been in business for over 25 years and have over 50 combined years of experience. We have trained thousands of dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes. Our training programs have been copied by many other trainers. • Philosophy and Methods Colorado Dog Academy believes the goal of training is to control your dog. In order to accomplish this goal, Colorado Dog Academy approaches training in two steps. ,$'`; Step 1: Teach The Words i Dogs do not have the ability to understand the meaning of words in the same way that,1 }fi * , 1 humans can. For example: The human can understand that the word sit represents a position to be in, the dog cannot.When the dog learns the word sit,the dog associates litit the word with a specific behavior(resting on - the haunches from a standing position). ,� Since the dog associates the word with a behavior,when the dog is lying down it g.°,x h «» won't respond to our sit command. The k, nn . . .. .Bs',..`'..1 z h • behavior sit up from the down is a new behavior and requires additional training. Of course, if the dog understood the meaning of sit; additional training would not be necessary. • When it comes to teachin l the do l the words, there are basically two methods. One method is to "show" the dog what the word means. For example: to teach the dog to sit, the hindquarters would be pushed to the floor, physically placing the dog in a sit position and the dog would be praised "good sit", "good sit". The second method of training is to lure the dog to sit using its own natural ability with i . a piece of food. The word sit is said just ` prior to the sit behavior and the dog is rewarded with the food. Gradual►y the food reward is replaced with praise. This second method of training is the most effective method with the overwhelmingly majority of dogs. Step: 2 Become Leader Of The Pack According to recent genetic studies, dogs evolved directly from wolves. The wolves' natural social structure leaves them • predisposed to pack living and to accepting an authority figure. They instinctively understand the pecking order of the pack. The domestication process involves the accepting of the human as part of the pack and forming a social structure. In order to control the dog, the human must be viewed as the leader of the pack. w a • 7 • Classes At Colorado Dog Academy we start all untrained dogs in private classes for your dog will learn easier. You come in once a week until your dog is trained and then we advance you into group class. We train any breed, any age,startin: from 8 weeks and up. In the private classes we address any behavior problems as well as the f basic obedience. We are also able x2 - to address your needs and goals, for both you and your dog. Group Class t Group classes are held four times bt per week. You may attend as often or as little as you want. Only dogs that have been through our training programs or can demonstrate a basic level of obedience can attend the group classes. The goal of the group class is to get your dog to be off-leashed • trained in a highly distracting environment. Colorado Dog Academy also offers advanced training. Dog Grooming At Colorado Dog Academy, We offer all-breed dog grooming.We do grooming by appointment Monday through Saturday, and on Sundays for boarding customers only. , Appointments need to be booked in advance and standing appointments are available. A bath and brush grooming service includes bathing, drying and fully brushing your dog, as well as trimming the nails and cleaning the ears. A full groom consists of the bath and brush as well Irv, as a haircut that is specified by the afol owner. Nail trims can be done on a � walk in basis during normal • operating hours, Monday though Saturday. We realize that every dog is different just like their humans,and for this reason we carry moisturizing shampoos and conditioners to help alleviate itching due to the dry Colorado climate. If your dog requires a medicated 8 • • shampoo, please bring it with you to your dog's appointment, if we do not carry it and we will be happy to use it. • fr r4�:e Lisrft -4^ ,F y, 3`x 4.4 d�fr I prp�� . Ord i1E Et t yet. ; • . r.rtEt E 1 7001 2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22 (Comprehensive Plan). Although review of the Comprehensive Plan did not reveal specific reference to dog boarding, it is clear that it is the intent of the Plan to accommodate urban uses and activities in a manner consistent with the agricultural character of the County. As a matter of fact, the proposed dog boarding,a use permitted only by special review in the Agricultural Zoning District, creates a situation where uses most appropriately located in the Agricultural District can help meet the need for pet care typically associated with urban dwellers. Moreover, the proposed Andreason kennel USR is consistent with all six "guiding principles" identified in Section 22-1-120 of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22 (Comprehensive Plan). 3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 23 (Zoning) and the zone district in which it is located. It is clear that Weld County zoning anticipated the need for animal care and boarding from references to "veterinary clinics or hospitals," "kennels" and "animal boarding" in the code. The zoning chapter identifies the appropriate place for such uses and activities to 9 occur as the Agricultural District, and further recognizes the potential adverse impact of such uses and activities if not property operated and managed by making them "uses by special review." The criteria and standards applicable to kennels ensure that the • Andreason USR will be consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 23 (Zoning) and the zone district in which it is located. In Section 23-2-230. B of the zoning ordinance it is stated that, "The applicant has the burden of proof to show that the standards and conditions of this Subsection B and Sections 23-2-240 and 23-2-250 of this Division are met. The applicant shall demonstrate: 1. That the proposal is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other applicable code provision or ordinances in effect. The applicant has demonstrated that the proposed kennel use by special review is consistent with Chapter 22. The applicant is unaware of ordinances other than zoning that directly affect the proposed use. 2. That the proposal is consistent with the intent of the district in which the USE is located. As previously noted, the use as proposed by the applicant is consistent with the intent of the Agricultural District. 3. That the USES which would be permitted will be compatible with the future DEVELOPMENT of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zone and with future DEVELOPMENT as projected by Chapter 22 of this Code and any other applicable code provisions or ordinances in effect,or the adopted MASTER PLANS of affected municipalities. The applicant believes the proposed kennel use meets an existing and growing demand for such services in the nearby • area. Much of the demand for pet care emanates from urban and suburban municipal development. The nearby municipalities of Erie and Frederick are growing rapidly; however, neither the Weld County Comprehensive Plan nor the comprehensive plans of either community project the applicant's USR property as urban in character. Thus, based on current and projected development patterns, the applicant's property seems well suited for the proposed kennel use. 4. That the application complies with Article V of this Chapter if the proposal is located within any Overlay District Area identified by maps officially adopted by the County. To the best of applicant's knowledge, the property is not within any such Overlay District Area. 5. The applicant believes that there is adequate provision for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the NEIGHBORHOOD and the COUNTY. The applicant believes that conducting the proposed kennel use not only provides a needed community service, but also when done correctly as proposed by the applicant, actually enhances the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood and County. 6. The applicant has demonstrated that the USES, which would be permitted, will be compatible with the existing surrounding land USES. The applicant intends to take measures to ensure the proposed use as a kennel does not adversely impact its neighbors and thus will be compatible with its neighbors and the existing • surrounding land uses. 10 7. The USE is proposed to be located in the A (Agricultural) Zone District,the applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort has been made to conserve PRIME FARMLAND in the locational decision for the proposed use. The applicant's • property is already being used as its residence and outbuildings. No farmland is being taken out of production as a result of this proposal. 4. What type of uses surrounds the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses. The site is surrounded by farm land. Four houses appear to be within 850' to 1100' of the USR site. There is also aggregate mining activity on the property bordering the site on the east and on other properties in the general area. 5. Describe in detail the following: a. How many people will use this site? The people using this site will be dropping off and picking up their pets. The only times this will occur is during the hours the kennel is open. The maximum number of people at the site at any one time is estimated to be 20 persons. b. How many employees are proposed to be employed at this site? The number of full time employees will range from five to seven,and it is estimated there will be two part-time employees. c. What are the hours of operation? The kennel will be open to the public: • Mon - Fri:8:00am - 5:00pm (Daycare to 5:30pm; Classes to 9:00pm) Saturday: 8:00am - 3:00pm Sunday: 9:00am - 10:00am; 4:00pm - 6:00pm d. What type and how many structures will be erected on this site? In addition to the existing house, one concrete block kennel structure will be constructed to receive and house the pets, accommodate administrative functions,training classes, dog grooming and store pet food and maintenance supplies and equipment. e. What type and how many animals, if any,will be on this site? A wide variety of dogs and cats will be on this site. As planned, the facility can accommodate up to 150 dogs and 15 cats. f. What kind (type, size, weight) of vehicles will access this site and how often? The type of vehicles accessing this site will be predominately passenger cars and pick up trucks used to drop off and pick up family pets. A one-ton delivery truck will deliver pet food and other such items weekly,and trash trucks will pick up the trash weekly. Access to the site will be from the existing Highway 52 access. g. Who will provide fire protection to the site? Fire protection will be provided by • the Mountain View Fire Protection District. 11 h. What is the water source on the property? The existing house on the property is served by a well; however, the Left Hand Water District has been contacted and has stated it will provide water to the kennel upon application and payment of • fees. i. What is the sewage disposal system on the property? The property has a septic system. Following approval of the USR application, the owner will coordinate with the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment to ensure that the sewage disposal needs of kennel are properly met,including,if necessary, applying for and installing a second septic system. j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of items will be stored? The only storage anticipated is storage of pet food supplies and maintenance supplies and equipment. 6. Explain the proposed landscaping for the site. The original house was built on this property in 1971, thus all trees along the highway and house oriented landscaping is mature. The landscape plan provides for dozens of new deciduous and evergreen trees to be planted along the east, north and west sides of the kennel site to shade the parking and pet exercise areas and to screen views from the highway and adjacent properties. The drive to the kennel is also tree lined. The applicant intends to submit a detailed landscape plan at the time of permit application. 7. Explain the proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special • Review activity occurs. It is anticipated that the property will always be used as a residence unless redeveloped as for a commercial use, in which case the residence would be replaced by the commercial use. If the kennel ceases to operate as a kennel, the kennel structure and fenced runs could be economically removed and the land used for a new use or returned to agricultural use. S. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site. The site is not far from Boulder Creek, and is shown as being in the flood plain on the current flood plain map. The applicant applied for and received a LOMA from FEMA stating that the property elevation is above the base flood elevation and that the house structure is removed from the SFHA. The elevation of the property for the USR appears to be higher than the base flood elevation as well. The proximity of the property to Boulder Creek was discussed with the Soil Conservation Service. The SCS's concern regarded protecting the creek from runoff from the property. Again,proper collection, disposal and treatment of pet waste should address this concern, particularly in light of the distance from the creek. Regarding storm runoff from the property, approximately one-forth of the overall property,the north and lower portion of the property, is being left open to accommodate detention if required. The applicant is committed to working with the Public Works Department in determining what will be necessary to ensure storm runoff is properly • addressed. 12 • • 9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping is scheduled to begin. Following SUR approval, the applicant intends to . immediately address any conditions of approval so that all necessary permits can be obtained and construction started six months from approval. Construction will take six months or longer depending on weather conditions. Landscaping will be installed as part of the construction process prior to obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy, seasonal weather permitting. 10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site. Pet waste will be picked up and placed in trash containers for weekly pick-up. This has worked extremely well and the current site in Broomfield which is a more urban residential and retail commercial environment than this property. • • 13 :�`. IL ^1 II ,. !1 :c ` :i I!

This document amends the effective NFIP map to remove the subject property from the SFHA located on the effective NFIP map: therefore, the Federal mandatory flood insurance requirement does not apply. However, the lender has the option to continue the flood insurance requirement to protect Its financial risk on the loan. A Preferred Risk Policy (PRP) is available for buildings located outside the SFHA. Information about the PRP and how one can apply is enclosed. This determination, is based on the flood data presently available. The enclosed documents provide additional information regarding this determination.
