1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 24-4-40.A
and 24-4-40.D of the Weld County Code.
2. It is the opinion of the Planning Commission that the application has shown compliance with
Section 24-4-40.E.6 of the Weld County Code as follows:
A. Section 24-4-40.E.6.a — That the proposed subdivision is located within an urban growth
boundary area as defined and adopted in any approved intergovernmental agreement, or as
defined in Chapter 22 of this Code. The amended lots lie within an existing subdivision within
the urban growth boundary of the City of Evans. Zoning for the subdivision is R-5.
B. Section 24-4-40.E.6.b -- Compliance with this chapter[Chapter 24), Chapter 23 of this Code,
the zone district in which the proposed use is located, and any adopted intergovernmental
agreements or master plans of affected municipalities. The application meets the
requirements for a subdivision and does not make any changes to the overall subdivision
design. Zoning bulk standards for the R-5 Zone District are maintained, including the
minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. The proposed site lies within the Town of Evans'
Urban Growth Boundary. Both the Town of Evans and the City of Greeley lie within the three-
mile referral area; Evans expressed no concerns, and Greeley did not respond to the referral
request.
C. Section 24-4-40.E.6.c — The comments received from referral agencies have been
addressed, if applicable. All comments have been addressed through the conditions of
approval and the development standards.
D. Section 24-4-40.E.6.d -- That provisions have been made for a public water supply that is
sufficient in terms of quantity, dependability and quality to provide water for the subdivision,
including fire protection. The lots are currently adequately served by the Town of Evans.
E. Section 24-4-40.E.6.e -- That, if a public sewage disposal system is proposed, provision has
been made for the system and, if other methods of sewage disposal are proposed, evidence
that such systems will comply with state and local laws and regulations which are in effect at
the time of submission of the subdivision. The lots are adequately served by the Town of
Evans.
F. Section 24-4-40.E.6.f-- That streets within the minor subdivision are adequate in functional
classification, width and structural capacity to meet the traffic requirements of the subdivision.
Standards are established in Appendices 24-D and 24-E to this Chapter. No changes to the
existing roads will be made by this proposal.

G. Section 24-4-40.E.6.g -- That off-site street or highway facilities providing access to the
subdivision are adequate in functional classification, width and structural capacity to meet the
traffic requirements of the subdivision in accordance with the requirements set forth in Article
VII of this Chapter. This criterion does not apply.
H. Section 24-4-40.E.6.h — That facility providing drainage and stormwater management are
adequate. Existing stormwater facitilies will not be changed by the proposed action.
I. Section 24-4-40.E.6.i— That the subdivision will not cause an unreasonable burden on the
ability of local governments or districts to provide fire and police protection, hospital, solid
waste disposal and other services. Service levels would not be affected by this proposal.
The existing three lots will be reconfigured into three lots, so there will be no change in
impacts. If any addresses are changed, the applicants shall forward these to the Milliken Fire
Protection District.
J. Section 24-4-40.E.6.j— That the subdivision will not cause air pollution violations based on
Colorado Department of Health standards. The proposed changes will not affect air quality,
according to the Department of Health and the Environment.
K. Section 24-4-40.E.6.k — The proposed subdivision conforms to the subdivision design
standards of Article VII. The proposal conforms to all required standards. No changes are
proposed to the street or street system, to the utility easements, or to drainage, and all public
infrastructure is already constructed and in place.
L. Section 24-4-40.E.6.I—That the subdivision will not have an undue adverse effect on wildlife
and its habitat, the preservation of agricultural land and historical sites. This criterion does
not apply.

applicant, other relevant information regarding the request, and responses from referral agencies.

Brad Mueller, Department of Planning Services presented Case AmMJF-1119, reading the
recommendation and comments into the record. The Department of Planning Services is recommending
approval of the application along with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards.
Tom Holton asked if the L shape was so the applicant could maintain the minimum 6000 square foot lot
size needed. Mr. Mueller stated it was.
Mr. Mueller indicated the applicant is currently not present.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application. No
one wished to speak.
Doug Ochsner asked why this was not on the Consent Agenda. Mr. Mueller indicated the application was
originally withdrawn by the applicant and there were some inquiries about the case. There were also some
previous issues and changes to the request.
Charles Nelson, applicant,was now available for questions. Mr. Nelson indicated that he only owns 1.5 of the
3 lots while Gary Weidman owns the remainder.
Doug Ochsner asked if the Planning Commission was to presume he was speaking on behalf of all the
owners. Mr. Mueller indicated Mr. Nelson initiated the request. The three lots are currently deeded as two
separate parcels. The deeds do not correspond with the buildable lots thus being the problem. This is
amending the plat to reflect in part what the deeds indicate.

CASE NUMBER: USR-1571
APPLICANT: Great Western Oil &Gas Company
PLANNER: Brad Mueller
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: E2 of Section 27, T6N, R67W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado
REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and Special Use Permit for an Oil &
Gas Production Facility(10 oil and gas wells &2 tank batteries) in the I-1
(Industrial)Zone District
LOCATION: South of and adjacent to CR 66; ''A mile east of Hwy 257
Brad Mueller, Department of Planning Services presented Case USR-1571, reading the recommendation
and comments into the record. The Department of Planning Services is recommending approval of the
application along with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards.
Tom Holton asked if there was a lake located on the property. Mr. Mueller indicated it was a storage pond.
Doug Ochsner asked if there was any effect on the trail system in the area. Mr. Mueller stated he did not
examine the plan in conjunction with the trail system. There was none on the site other than the sidewalk
system. It can be reviewed at closer detail if needed. Mr. Ochsner stated the bulk of the system is further to
the south.
William Crews, representative for the applicant, provided further clarification. The size of the parcel is 320
acres not the 951 acres indicated. It is not unlike the previous applications. This site is slightly further west
with the series of oil and gas wells. Most will be drilled from one or two pads to keep the number of surface
locations down.
Doug Ochsner asked for clarification on the well heads. Mr.Crews stated there will be 10 well heads but the
number of tanks and batteries will be limited. There are presently two locations for the tank, batteries and
separators.
Tom Holton asked if this would come under the State rules of high density. Mr.Crew stated it does not. That
would be with a number of platted lots and/or public meeting requirements. It is still considered normal drilling.
High density gives setbacks from various facilities. The setback is 150 feet or 1.5 times the height of the
derrick, whichever is larger.
Char Davis added she would like to correct Development Standards #9 to state ....."during
drilling/construction."
William Crews indicated he was questioning Condition of Approval 1 B. The access is off of Hwy 257 and is a
CDOT permitted access for truck traffic. Does Condition of Approval 1A mean the need is to add this to the
plat? Jesse Hein, Public Works,added it would need to be delineated on the plat. The reserved right-of-way
needs to be there. Mr. Mueller added they want something from Windsor that the access as proposed is
adequate and acceptable. Mr.Crews stated the access is exiting and approved by CDOT. Mr.Mueller stated
that there needs to be something from Windsor that there are changes to the access and use of it.
Tom Holton asked for clarification on the access. Mr. Crews indicated that the north access from CR 66 will
not be used. All will be from Hwy 257.
