be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners for the following reasons:

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 22-5-100.A(OG.Goal 1. )states
• "Oil and gas exploration and production should occur in a manner which minimizes the
impact to agricultural uses and the environment and reduces the conflicts between mineral
development and current and future surface uses." Further,Section 22-5-100.8(OG.Goal.2)
states "The extraction of oil and gas resources should conserve the land and minimize the
impact on surrounding land." The request for a Site Specific Development Plan and a
Special Review Permit for a Mineral Resource Development Facility including a Natural Gas
Processing Facility in the A(Agricultural)Zone District is an amendment to an existing permit.
❑ SUP-217 for the Natural Gas Processing Facility identified as the Hudson Gas
Processing Plant was approved by the Board of County Commissioner's Resolution
for Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Company in August 1973.
This application addresses the current on-site conditions, and serves as a baseline for future
improvements to the site. Upgrades to the facility addressed under this application are for
on-going modernization of the equipment over time. Further, the new application was
required by the Department of Planning Services due to a change in ownership of the facility
and previous modifications to the facility.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2--The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A(Agricultural)
Zone District. Section 23-3-40.A.2 of the Weld County Code provides for a Mineral Resource
Development Facility including Oil and Gas Support and Service (Natural Gas Processing
Facility [Liquid Terminal Site]) and one or more microwave or other communication
transmission or relay towers over seventy (70) feet in height 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. To the north, east and south are agricultural lands with oil and gas
• encumbrances and dryland agriculture;to the west are three existing USRs. USR-1319 is for [
Four-Way Baptist Church; USR-956 is for US West for a 165 foot cellular tower and SUP-439
is for an electrical substation with a 115 kV transmission line; To the east is a 493 foot FM m
roRadio Tower on lands once containing Bragg Hog Farm;To the south is a CDOT Gravel pit

five property owners within five hundred feet of this facility. No letters or telephone calls were
received from adjacent property owners. Should concerns be raised, the Conditions of

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 existing site is within the three mile referral area of the Town of Hudson,
which returned a referral dated May 23, 2007 indicating there were no conflicts with the
Town's interests.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5--The application complies with Section 23-5 of the Weld County Code.
The existing site is within the County Road Impact Fee Area and the Capital Expansion

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. This facility was acquired by
the Kerr McGee Gathering LLC in 1993. Previous to this acquisition the facility was permitted
and operated by Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company and KN Wattenberg Transmission
LLC.
G. Section 23-2-220.A.7 -- The Design Standards (Section 23-2-240, Weld County Code),
Operation Standards (Section 23-2-250, Weld County Code), Conditions of Approval and
Development Standards ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of

• LOCATION: Generally located South of and adjacent to SH 52;West of and adjacent to
SH 85; East of and adjacent to CR 25 Section Line and approximately 0.5
miles North of CR 10.
The Chair asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak for or against the application.
Jerry Sitzman,area homeowner,residing east of Hwy 85 and adjacent to the gravel pit,said they have a pond
on their property and he is concerned that when water is pulled off into the gravel pit, his pond will dry out as it
is maintained by underground water levels;he added that his pond also holds the run off from the Fort Lupton
city streets;and without proper maintenance, it will be a stale pond as they have no other way of getting water
into it. Commissioner Ochsner pointed out that public concerns can be addressed without hearing the entire
case. Mr. Sitzman added that since the applicant has to pump the water out during mining,they could pump
the water into the highway underpass pipe. The Chair said that ultimately this board makes only
recommendations and the Board of County Commissioners decide the final outcome, but they can collect
items to be addressed. Mr. Sitzman asked if he would be notified of the future Board of County Commission
hearing. The Chair said that he would absolutely be notified.
Mike Hart, 2255 Meadow Ave, Boulder, CO, represents Ready Mix Concrete. Mr. Hart addressed Mr.
Sitzman's concerns regarding the mine dewatering on his pond on the east side of Hwy 85 and said: they
proposed to install a soil bentonite slurry wall around the mining stage that is immediately west of Mr.
Sitzman's pond before anything is dewatered, so basically they intend to protect the surrounding alluvial
aquifer by sealing off the mine stage from anything outside of that mine stage before anything is dewatered;
once the slurry wall is installed then the area to be mined within the perimeter of the slurry wall would be
dewatered but there would be no impact on any groundwater elevations outside of the mining area;and closed
by saying that he was very confident that all of Mr. Sitzman's concerns would be addressed, based on the
mine plan.
• The Chair suggested Mr. Hart contact Mr. Sitzman and provide him with all of that information prior to the
Board of County Commission hearing.
