Russell Anson, Assistant County Attorney, read this request into the record. James Mayerl, Planning Department representative, read the favorable recommendation, with conditions, from the Planning Commission into the record. Harold Myles, representing Darenco, Inc. , came forward to explain this proposal. Commissioner N. Carlson stated that he has a problem with the gas & oil companies completing their projects and then they come before the Board to request approval. He said that this par- ticular project is almost complete at this time. Mr. Myles said it is about 99% complete. Commissioner N. Carlson also said he feels WCR 40 needs to be upgraded and he would like to include in the Development Standards that Darenco, Inc. , be responsible for the upgrading of this road. Mr. Myles explained that his company has already put in 14 inches of road base and they plan to put in another 6 or 8 inches after the snow has melted. James Mayerl said that Operation Standard #8 addresses a 40 foot C4P culvert. After a short dis- cussion, Commissioner Brantner moved to approve this Use by Special Review for Darenco, Inc. , to include the conditions and Operation Standards as recommended. Commissioner Martin seconded the notion. Commissioner N. Carlson again voiced his concerns that these companies are constucting first and then seeking permission for permits later.

(Applicant) submits the following background data for its application for Special Review Permit for a Major Facilities of a Public Utility and is a part thereof. 1. A. It is zoned agriculture and will remain agriculture in the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. B While agriculture is a major use in the area proposed, for many years oil and gas development has been a very important secondary use. Oil and gas production facilites are a use allowed by right in an agriculture zone. The facilities proposed herein are designed to enhance existing oil and gas production and possibily promote new production. C. The lands adjacent to the proposed are currently planted in annual fee crops or in grasses for livestock grazing. The area is dotted with producing oil and gas wells. Similar natural gas processing facilities exist approximately 2 miles to the north. D. The areas projected as agriculture in the comprehensive plan. The proposed use is considered agri-business and has long been associated with agricultural lands and will continue to be so associated. E. The proposed is not in or near any established overlaid district area as identified by maps officially adopted by Weld County. F. The proposed is located in an agricultural (A) zone on very valuable and productive lands. Because of this the total acreage of proposed is the minimum needed for safety and efficient operation of the existing proposed facilities. On less productive lands, the normal size parcel of land for a similar facility would be at least twice as large. G. The proposed is designed and operated under guidelines and regulations established by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, the United States Department of Transportation, and the National Pipeline Safety Act among others. Operating procedures and safety measures meet or exceed federal, state, and local regulations. 5. A. The proposed is a natural gas processing and liquids extraction facility capable of processing two million cubic feet a day of natural gas and extracting there from approximately five thousand gallons per day of liquids (propane, methane, etc.) normally found in natural gas. B. The nearest residential structure is approximately one-half mile from the proposed. C. The proposed will be operated twenty-four hours a day year around. The operation is automatic, requiring twice daily maintenance and operation checks by operating personnel. X D. None E. None F. None G. Structures proposed for the premises are a 20 x 20 metal compressor building. A 7 x 8 metal meter building. A 14 x 24 metal utility building and several pieces of above-ground gas processing and conditioning equipment. The proposed structures are three skid mounted processing units approximately 10 feet by 30 feet each and one 8 foot diameter by 40 foot long above-ground storage tank. Both the extraction plant and the storage tanks will be installed on 8" thick, steel reinforced concrete slabs. H. Vehicular access to the proposed is from county road 13 west on road 40 one-quarter mile. As mentioned above, maintenance and operating personnel will travel to and from the proposed place daily by pickup and once every four days a tank truck will travel to land from the site to transport liquid extracted at the plant. I. None J. None K. None L. Construction of the proposed is scheduled to begin in October of 1983 and is anticipated to take four to five weeks to complete. During construction, eight to ten construction workers will be employed on site. M. After construction, the proposed facilities will be painted to blend with the surrounding environment. Traveled areas within the plant will be graveled. Disturbed areas not graded will be seeded with native grasses. N. Upon abandonment of the proposed, all structures and equipment will be removed. Underground piping will be removed and excavations backfilled and compacted. The entire premises would then be placed back into production as agricultural lands. 0. The proposed is designed to shutdown automatically in event of fire or other emergency. In the event of fire, applicant will notify local fire departments of the location and type of fire. Applicant's personnel will respond to assist and secure the area. Remoteness of the facility make damage or danger to others in the event of an emergency highly unlikely. • 7. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS A. Harold Miles, who signed this application, is an employee of DARENCO, INC. applicant and is authorized to do so. DARENCO, INC. is a lessee of surface rights to the subject property by virtue of a lease with the surface rights owner and properly recorded in the Weld County records (copy attached) . B. No water is required in the construction, operation, and maintenance of the facility. C. Copy attached. In compliance with the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, Part 25.7.2.4.2 ETSEQ, DARENCO, INC. (Applicant) submits the following supplementary background information for its application for Special Review for Major Facilities of a Public Utility. Selection of the proposed site was done after careful consideration of the Engineering and Operating requirements in the proximity to services. Source of natural gas, pipelines, etc. essential to the operation. It is at this time hard to verify, but safe to assume, that very little if any consideration was given to the future land use of the area and the impact on natural resources at or near the site. y s6 n cc tst - rli N e - .t._ ro c N ws cc }. z aL° a O -1O V, :�Y I r ' o0 a0 <r 1 o i y,, • g '� �}'9 is y + g v co,.
