COLORADO
The Weld County Public Works Department has reviewed this proposal. This project falls primarily under the
purview of the Use by Special Review Standards, Weld County Code, Chapter 23, Article II, Division 4, Section
23 Our comments and requirements are as follows:
COMMENTS:
Weld County Road Classification Plan (FHU): (June 2002)
WCRs 57, 59, 70, and 72 are all local gravel roads and require a 60-foot right-of-way at full build out. There is
presently a 60-foot right-of-way. These roads are maintained by Weld County. Pursuant to the definition of
rSETBACK in the Weld County Zoning Ordinance (23-1-90), the required setback is measured from the future
fight-of-way line.
Average Daily Traffic Counts (ADT) : The ADT count on WCR 57 between State Highway 392 and WCR
ranges from 125 to 161vehicles per day taken in 2006. The ADT count on WCR 59 between WCR 68 and
WCR 72 were vehicles from 88 to 135 taken in 2004. The ADT count on WCR 72 between WCR 57 and WCR
59 reflects 35 vehicles taken in 2004.
The primary dairy access is from WCR 72. The second dairy access is from WCR 59, which appears to be the
main truck access to the office, scale, and dairy operation. There are approximately three homes between this
access and State Highway 392.
REQUIREMENTS:
Off-Street Parking and Loading: The off-street parking spaces including the access drive shall be surfaced
with gravel or the equivalent and shall be graded to prevent drainage problems. Each parking space adjacent
to the milking parlor and office shall be equipped with wheel guards or curb stops where needed to prevent
vehicles from extending beyond the boundaries of the spaces and from coming into contact with other vehicles,
walls, fences, or plantings. Section 23-4-30.
Traffic Pattern: If the applicant is agreeable to routing most of their heavy truck traffic to WCR 59, there is less
residential impact adjacent to WCR 59 then WCR 57. If dust control becomes a problem due to the dairy
heavy hauling, the applicant shall apply dust suppressant chemical (magnesium chloride or calcium chloride)
on WCR 59 adjacent to the existing three residential structures between the secondary dairy access and State
---Highway 392. Dust suppressant shall be applied no less than twice a year or more often as determined by the
Neld County Public Motor Grader Supervisor. The application shall be 300 feet of frontage.
EXHIBIT
2007-1334 4 /
.—Storm Water Drainage:
I am referring the storm water drainage to the Department of Health and Environment, as it deals with animal
units. The applicant is required to comply with the Colorado Confined Animal Feeding Control Regulations
(State of Colorado).
The historical flow patterns and run-off amounts will be maintained on site in such a manner that it will
reasonably preserve the natural character of the area and prevent property damage of the type generally
attributed to run-off rate and velocity increases, diversions, concentration and/or unplanned ponding of storm
run-off.
The applicant must take into consideration storm water capture/quantity and provide accordingly for best
management practices.
FLOOD HAZARD DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS: This area is not in the FEMA Flood Zones.

RE: Recorded Exemption — Cockroft Dairy—USR-1602
The Board of Education of Platte Valley School District, Weld RE-7 passed the land dedication,
cash-in-lieu policy at the March 13, 2000 meeting. This policy addresses new developments and
recorded exemptions that would affect the district. The policy is specifically intended for land use
that will create a new residence. A cash-in-lieu payment is required for each new residential lot.
This policy is an effort to assist the district in mitigating the increasing capital cost of growth. Please
forward this information to potential land developers and individuals requesting recorded
exemptions so that they may make arrangements with the school district to satisfy the requirements
of the policy.
The district also requests that the land developer contact the school in regard to transportation. If the
intended use is for a residence then consideration for a school bus stop needs to be examined.
Please contact my office if you have any questions.

RESOLUTION
OF THE
BOARD OF EDUCATION
OF
PLATTE VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT RE-7
WHEREAS, growth in residential land development and the construction of new
residential dwellings within the boundaries of the Weld County School District RE-7(the
"District")necessitates the acquisition of additional public school sites to accommodate
the corresponding increases in student populations; and
WHEREAS, requiring land dedications for public school sites, or payments in
lieu of land dedications will provide a portion of the land to meet such demand; and
WHEREAS, planning departments within the various local governments that have
territory within the District rimtinely refer npplictiliuu5 AOlating t011Cw development for
review and comments concerning the adequacy of public school sites and facilities; and
WHEREAS, local governments are encouraged and authorized to cooperate with
other units of government, pursuant to Section 29-20-105, C.R.S., for the purpose of
planning or regulating the development of land, including, but not limited to, the joint
exercise of planning, zoning,subdivision, building, and related regulations;and
WHEREAS, in an effort to promote further cooperation between the District and
other local governments in connection with the issuance of residential land development
approvals, and in the mitigation of the impacts of such residential land development
approvals on the District's ability to provide adequate school,the District has determined
to adopt a uniform policy with respect to its recommendations to such local governments
in the referral process; and
WHEREAS, the District has determined that the mitigation of the impacts of such
residential land development approvals should occur through the dedication of land for
school sites, or the payment of funds in lieu of such dedication; and
WHEREAS, the policy set forth within constitutes a reasonable and uniform
method of ensuring that new residential construction and residential development bear a
proportionate share of the cost of public school sites acquisition necessary to
accommodate the educational service capacity demands of the residents who will be
living in the new dwelling units;
NOW, WHEREFORE, the Board of Education of Weld County School District
RE-7 hereby results as follows:
I. Cooperation with Local Governments Encouraged. The ability of the District
to provide adequate educational opportunities for its student population is dependent
upon,among other matters, the availability of adequate land, or in the alternative the
availability of funds to purchase adequate land. Since the approval of residential land
development applications by local governments with territory within the boundaries of
the District substantially impacts the District's ability to meet its obligations to the public,
the District shall encourage and request that such local government entities refer to the
District all residential land development applications for review and comments
concerning the adequacy of public school sites and facilities. Further,the District shall
encourage and request that such local government entities consider the District's,
comments in conjunction with the review and processing of each individual residential
development application,and cooperate with the District in regard to the mitigation
measures established in this Resolution. The District shall promptly review the referred
development application and promptly submit its comments, recommendations and
requests consistent with the policy set forth in this Resolution,to the appropriate local
government.
2. Land Dedication Requirements. In connection with any pending or new
application for residential land development to any local government with territory within
the boundaries of the District, the District shall recommend and request that the following
land dedication standards be imposed by such local government as a condition of
development approval, except to the extent that the District, through its Superintendent or
designee,has determined that the best interests of the District would be served-by the
payment of the fees set forth in paragraph 3 hereof,in lieu of such land dedication. Land
shall be dedicated to the District in an amount equal to the greater of: (a) 10 percent of
the total size of the approved development, or(b)calculated at the rate of two acres for
every 1,000 new residents reasonably projected by the District for the development.
3. Fees in Lieu of Dedication. In the event the District, through its
Superintendent or designee, determines that dedication of land is not in the best interests
of the District, the District shall recommend and request that the following fees be paid in
lieu of such land dedication,as a condition of approval of the development application by
the local government. The fees shall be calculated as follows: (a)$750 for each new
single-family residence;(b)$585 for each unit in a duplex or triplex; and(c)$420 for
each unit in a multi-family structure other duplexes or triplexes.
4. In-Kind Contributions. The District shall be authorized to accept in-kind
contributions in satisfaction of the requirements set forth in either paragraph 2 or 3
hereof, provided that such in-kind contributions represent a fair equivalent in terms of the
value which would otherwise be realized under the policy set forth in such paragraphs.
5. Land Dedication Procedures. In the event that the District determines that land
should he dedicated to the District, the District shall recommend and request that before
recording the final plat for any development,that the local government require proof that
the property owner has conveyed title to the District by general warranty decd. free and
clear of all liens,encumbrances and exceptions(except those approved in writing by the
2
r•
District), including, without limitation,real property taxes,which shall be prorated to the
date of the conveyance. The property owner shall also provide a title insurance
commitment and policy in an amount equal to the fair market value of the dedicated
property.
6. Fees in Lieu of Dedication Procedures. In the event that the District
determines that fees should be paid in lieu of dedication of land,the District shall
recommend and request that before recording the final plat for any development,that the
local government require proof that the property owner has either paid in full to the
District the applicable fee based on the total number of residential units proposed for the
development, or alternatively,that an agreement has been signed between the District and
a party in interest acceptable to the District which provides for a means of payment of
such fees upon such terms and conditions as the parties may mutually agree upon. It
shall be an acceptable method of payment, for purposes of such agreements, for the fees
to be paid as building permits are issued.
6. Exemptions. The District has determined that the following types of
residential development do not have an adverse effect on the District's ability to provide
adequate educational facilities; accordingly they are exempt from land dedication
requirements or fees to be paid in lieu of land dedication: (a)alteration or expansion or
replacement of a residential dwelling unit not exceeding an increase of 1000 square feet
over the existing dwelling; (b)assisted living facilities for the elderly; (c)construction of
any building or structure intended for and used for limited terms stays, including by way
of example and not by way of limitation,bed and breakfasts,hotels, family-care or
group-care homes,hoarding or rooming houses,nursing homes,hotels, motels or
hospices; (d)construction of any non-residential building or structure; and(e)
construction of any residential building or structure classified as housing for older
persons,pursuant to the Federal Fair Housing Act then in effect
7. Use of Funds. The District shall hold or deposit in trust for public school sites
all lands or funds it receives in connection with the application of the policy set forth in
this Resolution. With respect to funds received,the District shall use such funds solely
for acquisition, development,or expansion of public school sites or for capital facilities
planning. sites acquisition,or capital outlay purposes. The timing,nature,method and
extent of such planning, acquisition,development or outlay shall be at the discretion of
the District.
8. Accounting for Dedications or Fees. The District shall cause to be included
within its annual audit a summary and description of the status of receipts of land or fees
in lieu of land dedication, so that full disclosure of the District's activities with respect to
such receipts may be made public.
9. Further Actions. The District hereby authorizes its Superintendent, and such
other employees,agents or consultants of the District as the Superintendent shall so
designate, to proceed to contact local government entities with territory located within the
boundaries of the District in order to inform such entities of the District's adopted policy.
3
Further, in order to ensure the long-term integrity of the policy set forth in this
Resolution, such parties are authorized to proceed to negotiations with such entities
directed towards achieving a formal written agreement with respect to the cooperation
between such local governments and the District

Re: Cockroft Dairy Site Specific Development Plan and Special Permit Review
Case No. USR-1602
Sec. 11, T6N, R64W, 6th P.M.
Water Division 1, Water District 1
Dear Mr. Gathman:
We have reviewed the above referenced proposal 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 (a dairy
operation). Since the submitted material does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as
defined in §30-28-101(10)(a), C.R.S., pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005
memorandum to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the
referral information and provide comments. The comments will not address the adequacy of the
water supply plan for this development or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any
County regulations or requirements.
From the submittal materials, it is not clear what the source of water for the dairy
operation will be. The applicant indicated that the water sources for the property were an
existing North Weld County Water District tap, one "deep aquifer" well, and irrigation water
rights in the Larimer/Weld irrigation company. However, the applicant did not explain which of
these sources will be used to provide water to the dairy operation. Of concern is if the applicant
intends to use the well or the irrigation water rights as a source of water for the dairy operation,
as this would result in the requirement for the well to operate under a plan of augmentation and
possibly a water court decreed change of water right for the use of water from the Larimer/Weld
irrigation company.
The "deep aquifer" well was constructed under permit no. 266656, as the only well on 41
acres. The permitted use of this well is limited to fire protection, ordinary household purposes
inside up to three single family dwellings, the watering of poultry, domestic animals and
livestock on a farm or ranch and the irrigation of not more than one acre of home gardens and
lawns. This well as currently permitted is exempt from administration in the water rights priority
system. It is the intent of the statute which allows certain uses of ground water to be exempt
from administration to provide a means to obtain a water supply in less densely populated areas
for"in-house and domestic animal uses". A dairy operation such as this proposed dairy is not
an exempt use and therefore the use of this well in such an operation would be a violation of the
Weld County Planning Department Page 2
Cockroft Special Use
February 12, 2007
conditions of approval of the well permit. The use of this well to serve the dairy would withdraw
ground water hydraulically connected to an over-appropriated stream system and will cause
material injury to other water rights. As such, an augmentation plan would be required to offset
depletions caused by the pumping of this well, should it be utilized in the dairy.
In addition, to use the water from the Larimer/Weld irrigation company for any purpose
other that which is allowed by decree may cause material injury to surrounding water rights. If
the use of water from the irrigation company is limited to irrigation, then a change of water right
approved by the water court is required in order to use this water in the dairy operation. If the
applicant intends to use water from the irrigation company, the applicant should demonstrate
that use within the dairy operation is allowed pursuant to a water court decree.
If you have any questions in this matter, please contact Megan Sullivan of this office.
Sincerely,
•

From: Cdr.J.D. Broderius
Date: January 26,2007
Re: USR-1602,Cockroft Dairy LLC,WCR 72&57
The Sheriffs Office recommends the following improvements for this business:
1. The Sheriffs Office requests that developer/business owner designate an area by the entrance
of the property in which to place a shelter as is appropriate, for school children awaiting the
school bus, since there will be a residence on the property. This area should also include a pull
off for the school bus which enables it to safely load and unload children out of the roadway.
This would be especially important should the company erect employee housing on site.
2. Mail distribution for the home and business should be limited to as few locations as possible
with a central drop off location within the property. It should be developed so that residents do
not have to cross a county road to obtain their mail.
3. A permanent sign should be placed at the entrance to the property that meets the planning and
zoning standards and is approved by the county commissioners, detailing the name of the
business, address, and a graphical presentation of the roadways within the property. There
should be a plan developed to maintain this sign.
4. A plan should be developed to maintain roadways on the property,especially during
inclement weather conditions for emergency vehicles.
5. If you intend to name any of the roads on the property you should be present these names to
the Sheriffs Office for approval. This will eliminate duplication of street names within the county.
If you do name any of the roads they will need to be properly marked with clearly visible
reflective signs.
The Sheriffs Office lacks the ability to absorb any additional service demand without the resources
recommended in the multi-year plan provided to the Weld County Board of County Commissioners or as
indicated by growth not considered at the time the plan was developed. I have no other comments on this
proposal.
