The parcel consists of both Lot "A" and Lot "B" of Recorded Exemption RE-3865. The property is currently under contract for sale to William A. Snyder and Linda K. Snyder, contingent upon approval of a Use by Special Review for purposes of a private air strip. I hereby give permission and authorization to William A. Snyder and Linda K. Snyder to submit an application for Use by Special Review on this parcel, at the applicant's sole effort and expense. Sincerely, Eleanor B. Fransen For the Eleanor B. Fransen Trust 2816 W. 12th St. Road Greeley, CO 80634 William A. and Linda K. Snyder TBD WCR 77 Roggen, CO 80652 April 20, 2006 Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review(USR) Questionnaire Parcel#1301291Q0031 (Lot B of RE-3865) 1. The proposed use of this property, besides becoming our permanent residence, will be for a private airstrip. Any future lots subdivided and sold may have access to the airstrip. The airstrip will not be for commercial operation. 2 This site proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22, in the following ways: Article II This site proposal will have no effect on local or geographically-close agricultural uses. The land included in this proposal will not be changed in any manner that would preclude it from being used as agricultural ground in the future. Article IV. This site proposal will have no effect with air quality, water quality, noise or waste. The only noise associated with this proposal is the take-off noise of an aircraft, which is similar to the decibel level of a vehicle traveling at highway speeds on the county roads. Only general aviation aircraft will use this site. Exhaust from a general aviation aircraft is similar to that of motor vehicles. Sec. 22-1-120: As subsection A implies, one of the Basic Principles of the United States is to preserve the right of citizens to own and utilize their own property. Health, safety and welfare of the surrounding citizens will not be altered or affected in any way by the approval of this site. Safety may be a concern to some. But in comparison to motor vehicles, the reliability of general aviation aircraft and the low numbers flying locally make flying a much safer pastime than driving in some areas of the country. Sec. 22-3-120(E) As several airstrips are already approved in Weld county., this site proposal fits as serving a personal need and will be used for light aircraft, recreational use. 3. This site proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 23, as follows: Sec. 23-1-40. Purpose and Intent: The site will not effect street or county road congestion. There will be no increase in tire threat. There will be no negative impact to the county Tax Base and it will conserve our property value. Primarily, the use of this site as a private airstrip has a very limited impact on the surrounding population and no impact to the agricultural properties. General Aviation is a daily activity that the general population is use to seeing. Sec, 23-3-40(F) Uses by Special Review: Allows for the implementation of an Airstrip in the Agricultural Zoned District, L The primary uses that surround this site are agriculture and large acreage residential. The use of this property will be the same 5 a. At this time, the site will be used by ourselves and our two sons We have two airplanes. Any future lots created may have access to the airstrip. Lots would be limited to 2 aircraft (5 possible lots= 10 possible aircraft.) -- b. There will be no employees. c. Hours of operation will be during daylight and favorable weather. d. At this time, building plans include a hangar and our residence. e. Since the land is currently in the CRP program, we have no plans for any animals other than domestic dogs or cats. We would reserve the option of having some livestock in the future if the CRP program is not renewed. f. Vehicles that access this site will be general automotive cars and pickups. Frequency will be daily once we move to the property. g. Fire protection is provided by the SE Weld Fire Protection District, h. There are no additional water needs for this request. Water will be supplied to our residence from an approved and licensed well. i. There is no additional sewage need for this request. Sewage disposal will be supplied to our residence from an approved and licensed septic system. j. There will be no storage or warehousing issues with this site request. 6 There will be no landscaping associated with this proposal. 7. For any sod runways, no reclamation would be needed upon the termination of this Use by Special Review activity to return this land to agricultural use. For any hard-surface(asphalt)done to the primary runway, then the asphalt would need to be removed. 8. Natural drainage that currently occurs will handle the storm water drainage. The natural drainage will not be changed by this proposal. 9. Upon approval of this USR, we will apply for a building permit for the construction of a hangar. Once the hangar is built so we can securely store our tractor and equipment, work will begin on the actual airstrip. As we plan to do that work ourselves during good weather on weekends, we anticipate a completion timeframe of summer 2007. 10 There will be no storage and/or stockpile of wastes associated with this proposal. Note: An amended RE was submitted March 30,2006 to change the property tine of Lot A of RE-3865 (Parcel# 13012910(X)30). June 23, 2006 Weld County Environmental Health Dept. Attn: Charlotte Davis 1555 N. 17th Ave. Greeley, CO 80632 Subject: USR 1559 Requirements Dust Abatement_Plan During any construction relating to this USR, we will spray water to control dust that might be generated if this method is inadequate for controlling the dust, we will pursue treating problem areas with a dust control product (i.e., Ligninsulfonate RTU or Xhesion DC or.Envirotechll through Envirotech, or LDC, a polymeric product, or Soihac, a copolymer emulsion product). After construction, vegetation will be restored and that should return the land to its current condition. Above or_Underground underground Storage Tank Permit: Aboveground storage tanks less than 660 gallons and underground tanks of 1 10 gallons or less are not regulated by State of Colorado. Any fuel storage we might have would be less than 100 gallons, so no permit is required. Copy of pertinent section of Storage Tank Regulations is attached. Waste Handling Plan Waste expected to be generated on this site consists of engine oil from personal automobiles and airplanes. We estimate a volume of approximately 15 gallons a year. At this time we store our used oil in 5-gallon cans and periodically dispose of the oil at the Weld County Household Hazardous Waste facility in Greeley. After our move to the Roggen area, we intend to utilize the Weld County Hazardous Waste facility at 5500 Hwy 52, Dacono, CO phone (303) 833-4337. Stormwater DiscDiscNisg Permit: This permit is not required if land disturbance is less than one acre in area. Per telecon with Nathan Moore, Water Quality Control office in Denver, this means land where "vegetation is ripped up and the soil exposed". Calculations at this time indicate less than one acre will be affected, If more land is to be used, we will obtain the permit. Respectfully submitted A tip,. / Linda Snyder 7104 W. 12th St. Greeley, CO 80634-9722 (970) 356-7451 lksnyder@aol.com mac: Kim Ogle, Weld County Planner Mr. Kim Ogle, Planner June 26, 2006 South Weld County Planning Office 4209 CR 24.5 Longmont, CO 80504 Subject: USR 1559 Per telecon June 22, 2006 regarding the Preliminary Development Standards, item 26, we would like to request that the facility limit of two aircraft be changed. In our USR Questionnaire, paragraph 5.a., we wrote that"any future lots created may have access to the airstrip". Perhaps we were too vague in this paragraph for you to understand or feel comfortable with our plans. At the time we submitted our USR, we were thinking that over the years it might be possible to eventually have four residential lots along the north side of the 80-acre area. As you know, we did an Amended RE for one lot. With the Weld County regulations now in effect, we would be eligible to request a second RE 3-'/2 years from now. Then 5 years later, we could request a third RE, and 5 years later, we could request the 4th RE. That would be 18-'/2 years from now before we'd be able to have a total of 5 possible lots with possible access to the airstrip (using the time frame of current regulations, which I didn't realize could change until you told me). In paragraph 5.a., we also said"lots would be limited to 2 aircraft". (5 possible lots= 10 possible aircraft). Again, with current regulations, this would take nearly 19 years to reach that number. Plus, we are aware that water availability may prevent us from creating salable lots in the future. One potential problem you mentioned was having a future pilot doing commercial work from the airstrip. The P ninary Development Standards, item 8, states that the Special Use Permit is for a non-commercial and private airstrip. In our USR Questionnaire, paragraph 1, we wrote"the airstrip will not be for commercial operation". That is decided 100%. There would be no negotiation on that restriction for anyone... for ourselves or any future person who would have access to the airstrip. If the USR is approved the way the Preliminary Development Standard now reads, wouldn't that restriction be for anyone, now or in the future? You also inquired about the size of airplanes that would be using the airstrip. Our response is that with the length of the airstrip (under '/2 mile long) and as little development as we plan for the actual runway, only small airplanes would be capable of using this airstrip. Larger planes would need a longer runway and much more surface development than we plan to do. When we were working on the Application for the USR, we were told by County Planning staff to be sure and put in everything we might ever want. Since we do love to fly, we would like to have neighbors with this same interest. We do plan to try and sell Lot A of this 80 acres and would like to have the option of allowing that purchaser(and future purchasers) to use the airstrip. Therefore, we request your reconsideration that item 26 of the Development Standards be changed to a facility limit of 10 aircraft. If you have further questions, please contact us. Thank you.

I live at 35492 WCR 43 in Eaton, CO. I live right next to the runway owned by Crop Air. The Snyder's contacted me to ask if the aircraft landing and taking off disturbed my horses. The only time the horses are bothered at all is when the spray planes(used for aerial applications)take off or land. These planes are much louder than the private aircraft that also use the runway. Even the spray planes don't bother the horses much. The horses don't even appear to notice when private planes use the runway. In fact, if they are eating, they probably won't even look up. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the information I have provided or if you need any additional information.

June 13, 2006 To Whom It May Concern: This letter is in regards to the crop dusting runway that is within yards of our residence at 35498 WCR 43, Eaton, Colorado. We have lived at the above residence for over three years now. We have 3 horses that reside on our property. In the entire time that we have lived there, I have never seen the horses spooked from the airplanes that take off from the runway. The runway is within yards of our pasture and property. Since I have received the request for this letter, I have been observing the horses, and they don't even look up when the planes are taking off. Crop dusting airplanes are extremely loud. Neighbors use the runway for private airplanes and you cannot even hear them taking off when we are in the house with all the windows and doors closed. The crop dusting airplanes will wake you up out of your sleep. However, this has not affected any of our animals in any way. If you need further information, I can be contacted at 970-454-5677. y. 11,4` �3n S�a^!a^!^* ,,.:r::...i.1!!k ,:.-t ,x� a�ni•>> a -.. -a= r s3 .y.syyg F .r." � ts Randy and,leanette I roudt C.4Ever Miniature Horse Farm 22569 Weld('aunty' Road 49 LaSalle CO 806 45 • May 23, 2006 Subject: Horses Next to Runway To Whom It May Concern- Mr. and Mrs. Bill Snyde+ stopped by our home on Sunday afternoon, May 21. We had never met them prior to their visit, but they asked if we would write a letter describing our close proximity to an airstrip and mail it to them. We agreed. We currently have six miniature horses. Two of been born have lived here for tght current yea�tynow on. They are our pets, along with two large dogs and an outside cat and love the location of our home. Our house and corrals sit approximately 200 feet north of a small airstrip, called Easton Airport. Many small aircrafts use this airstrip year-round. During the summer days, there are multiple take offs and landings right in front of our house, mainly by a crop duster aircraft before and after reloading. He is usually at the noisiest right in front of our place where lift-off occurs. It s amazing how our horses have gotten used to the noise and sight of the airplanes, even the newborn foals (who have been hearing them even while in the mare's womb) They never startle from the noise and I attribute their good nature and ability to pull carts safely to the fact that they are accustomed to large noises and moving vehicles right near them, such as cars, trucks, tractors and airplanes. Our neighbors also have full-size, riding horses and have lived here as long and some even longer and we have never heard them complain about the airstrip or the aircraft on it. We have never been threatened by a close-call with an aircraft coming too close to our home or land. Yes, the threat is present, but life is too short to fear mere possibilities. There is noise, but we, too, have become accustomed to it Our 2-year-old granddaughter loves watching the airplanes at Nana and Papa's house! If you have further questions or concerns about living this close to an airstrip with livestock, you may contact us at 970-284-Q028.

May Concern, I live in Weld County on horse property that is adjacent to an air strip. The air strip is used by a crop duster, ultra lights, and other small planes. There is quite a bit of flying activity on nice days. The animals on the property are not bothered by the activities and in fact hardly raise tiler neads from grazing when planes land or take off. The animal'; on the property include horses (gelding, mares and foal), mules, and a llama, As a person who enjoys trail riding on several occasions I. have been very pleased that my mount was calm and brave while the others on the ride were having difficulty with a new unexpected experience airplane activity.

Snyder 7104 W. 12th St. Greeley,Colorado 80634-9722 Dear Mr. Snyder Airspace Case No. 2006-ANM-235-NRA An airspace analysis of the proposed private use Windsong Airport, Roggen, Colorado, has been completed. Based on this study,the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has no objection, provided aircraft operators comply with Mode C Transponder requirements underlying Denver Class B Airspace. We recommend that a clear 20:1 approach slope be established and maintained. Please check the performance capabilities of the aircraft you intend to operate at your airport to ensure you have adequate runway length. All users of the airport should be briefed on operating conditions at the airport. This determination does not mean FAA approval or disapproval of the physical development involved in the proposal. It is a determination with respect to the safe and efficient use of airspace by aircraft and with respect to the safety of persons and property on the ground, This determination does not relieve the proponent of responsibility for compliance with any local law,ordinance or regulations,or state or other Federal regulations. In making this determination, the FAA has considered matters such as the effect the proposal would have on the existing or planned traffic patterns of neighboring airports,the effects it would have on the existing airspace structure and projected program of the FAA,the effects it would have on the safety or persons and property on the ground,and the effects that existing or proposed man-made objects (on file with the FAA)and known natural objects within the affected area would have on the proposal. The FAA cannot prevent the construction of structures near an airport. The airport environs can only be protected through such means as local zoning ordinances or acquisition of property rights. It is up to you. as the owner,to provide for this protection. No evaluation of the environmental aspects of the proposal was made in reaching this determination. Therefore. this determination is not to be construed as approval of the proposal from an environmental standpoint under Public Law 91-190(National Environmental Policy Act of 1969). In order to avoid placing any unfair restrictions on users of the navigable airspace,this determination is valid until May 31. 2007. Should the facility not be operational by this date, an extension of the determination must be obtained prior to the expiration date of this letter. 2 When the airport becomes operational, please complete and return the enclosed Airport Master Record form to this office. The Airport Master Record notifies the FAA that your facility has been activated. When the processing of the Airport Master Record form is completed,your landing area will have a site number and a permanent location identifier. If in the future you wish to open the airport to public use, a new airspace determination will be required. In addition, if the facility changes names, changes ownership, if there is a change in the owner's address or other substantial changes, please notify the FAA, NFDC on Form 5010-5. The FAA might solicit information updates on your airport, and if the solicitation is not responded to,your airport could be considered an inactive facility. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me at the number above.
