Dear Ms. Lockman: The Town of Windsor Planning Commission reviewed this referral at its regular meeting of February 3, 2006. The subject property is currently located outside the Town's Growth Management Area(GMA) and is depicted as Heavy Industrial on the Town's Land Use Plan map. However, the subject property is located within the East Side Industrial Subarea Plan(ESISP)update to the Town's Land Use Plan map that is currently being reviewed by the Planning Commission. The ESISP currently anticipates that the subject property would be incorporated into the Town's GMA. The subject property is also part of the pending Great Western Third Annexation which is proposed to be zoned Heavy Industrial (I-H). If the property were annexed into the Town, the drilling of oil and gas wells in the I-H zoning district would be subject to conditional use grant approval by the Town Board following recommendation from the Planning Commission. While the actual impact on surface development of the property is not known at this time,the Town has discussed with the applicant the need for a comprehensive map of all planned future drilling sites on and adjacent to the property (those planned by the applicant, as well as any other sites of which the applicant may be aware) for consideration during the review of the applicant's surface development plans. This is due to the fact that the drilling of oil or gas wells in this area can impact future surface development due to the Municipal Code requirements regarding setbacks from oil and gas facilities. Section 16-148 requires, "The minimum setback distance between property included in any new land use proposal for low-density surface development and existing oil and gas wells shall be one hundred fifty (150) feet, measured from the nearest exterior property line of any proposed lot. For purposes of this Article, low-density areas shall include those areas zoned Estate Residential (E-1) and Limited and Heavy Industrial (I-L and I-H), and new land use proposal shall be defined as any proposal that has not yet received preliminary plat approval." Section 16- 150 also contains landscaping and buffering requirements for new land use proposals adjacent to existing oil and gas wells. The applicant has indicated that their two drill sites that are located on the property which is the subject of pending applications for annexation are proposed to be located adjacent to two existing wells. This will serve to minimize the impact on surface development since the new wells will utilize virtually the same setback area that was already established around the existing wells. The applicant further indicated that they plan to establish drill sites located on Kodak property in order to directional drill to other portions of the property, thereby preserving surface development potential on the property proposed for annexation to the Town. Finally, while the applicant has actively acquired many of the mineral interests under their property, several fractured interests remain, including holdings by Petro-Canada Resources (USA) Inc. The applicant is currently in negotiations with Petro-Canada to locate their wells in a manner that will limit the impact on future surface development and they have agreed to provide the Town with a map of known existing and planned future drill sites for planning purposes. Therefore, based upon the aforementioned information, the Planning Commission recommends of approval to the Weld County Department of Planning Services subject to the following condition: The applicant shall submit to the Town a plan depicting all of the future oil and gas production facilities planned by the applicant, as well as any other sites of which the applicant may be aware, located on or adjacent to the applicant's entire property that is proposed to be annexed to the Town. Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposal.
