APPLICANT: Kennicott Duck Club Tape 14 - Side 2 CASE NUMBER: CUP-54 : 80 :2 Tape 15 - Side 1 SUBJECT: Clubhouse LEGAL DESCRIPTION: NE4, Section 34 , T4N, R61W LOCATION: 3 miles east and 1% miles south of Dearfield at Empire Reservoir APPEARANCE: Lincoln Wallbank DISCUSSION: Mr. Wallbank stated that this request is to operate a club- house with limited membership and for a limited time during the duck season. The house is presently existing on the property. He stated that they may not hunt anywhere else except where the club has permission to hunt, but have had a lot of problems with trespassers. Tom Honn then the Planning Staff ' s recommendation for approval into the record along with the Development Standards. Chairman Carlson then asked if there were any objections from anyone in the audience regarding the request. At this time Ray Peterson and Esther Howard, both surrounding property owners, expressed their concern about trespassers on their property while hunting who have said they were members of the club, but in fact were not. Discussion followed regarding possible ways of dealing this. It was suggested that perhaps club members could be issued a means of identification which indicates they are members of this club and if they could not present identification, they would be trespassers. It was also suggested by Bob Lowenbach that a provision could be made in the Development Standards which would state that the permit shall apply only to the duck club and will expire if the property is transferred by deed, etc. or if the duck club no longer operates or leases the Conditional Use Permit area. Discussion followed. MOTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend approval with amendments to the Development Standards regarding identification of club members when hunting and that the permit shall apply only to the duck club to the Board of County Commissioners based on the Planning Staff ' s recommendation. Motion by Bob Ehrlich, seconded by Don Billings.

Tape 15 - Side 1 State Health Department Site Application - Town of Windsor DISCUSSION: Tom Honn stated that the State Health Department under its rules and regulations requires a site application approval for any construction to sewage treatment facilities . In this case the Town of Windsor is planning to modify their existing facility. The Planning Staff has reviewed the modification and determined it would not be enlarging or expanding which would require a Special Use Permit. However, because of the State process this matter does come before the Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners for review. The action by the Planning Commission would be to authorize the Board of County Commissioners to sign on the application either approval or disapproval of the recommendation or no comments. The Planning Staff ' s recommendation is that the Planning Commission would authorize the Chairman to make a recommendation of approval. Mr. Takata of M & I Engineering stated that they serve as the town ' s engineers. They propose to enlarge the treatment capacity of the existing wastewater plant which was constructed in 1972 and is an aerated lagoon. A study was conducted which indicate that within 11 years at the present rate of growth, it would be exceeding the capacity of the plant. Aeration will be added to the existing lagoons. Estimated cost of the project will be approximately $230, 000 which will be financed by the Town of Windsor. Discussion followed. MOTION: Be it therefore resolved that the Chairman sign the application for approval. Motion by Fred Otis, seconded by Bob Ehrlich. A vote of "aye" was cast by Don Billings, Bob Ehrlich, Fred Otis , Irma White, Bette Kountz, and Chuck Carlson. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

The site is located on the edge of an extensive sand dune field above a terrace along the South Platte River. Our gravel resources map of the Hardin quadrangle shows that the deposits here exceed 50 ft in thickness, but the mining plan calls for the re- moval of only 10 to 12 ft of sand and less than one foot of topsoil . The excavation will lie totally above the water table, and the finished graded site probably will be unnoticeable in this dune terrain. I see no geologic problems involved with operation of the site.

PARR PIT EXHIBIT D: MINING PLAN . This borrow site is located in an irrigated and dryland area about B miles southeast of Kersey, Colorado. It is adjacent to and north of U.S. Highway 34 at station 810+00. The borrow site sets above irrigated cropland on a north facing slope. The mining plan is to excavate the existing hill down in a uniform manner, blending in smoothly with lower surrounding lands. As a result, the landowner should have more useable land which could accomodate a sprinkler irrigation system in the future. The material in the borrow site consists of a clean, fine, sandy soil. This material will be used for highway construction. Below is a log of the material to be mined. ,.

FARR PIT EXHIBIT D: MINING PLAN "CONTINUED" The borrow site contains 19.5 acres. The depth of the excavation will average from 10 to 12 feet. Any backslopes, caused by this operation, that may be left in the affected area will be no steeper than 8:1. It is estimated that between 85,000 and 100,000 cubic yards could be excavated from this area. The methods of mining are left to the contractor. However, the following are generally the phases and sequences in an operation similar to this: 1. Approximately 6 to 8" of topsoil shall be excavated and stockpiled. It will be used later during reclamation of the affected area. 2. The borrow material will be excavated and hauled to the adjacent project. 3. The following is a list of equipment that could be used in the mining operation: A. Earth Moving Scrapers - used for stripping, stockpiling, and replacing the top 6 to 8" of material - can also be used for hauling borrow to the project site. B. Bottom Dump Trucks - used for hauling borrow to the project site. ` C. Crawlers - Generally used for pushing scrapers while loading and for pit maintenance. D. Motor Graders - Used for building and maintaining haul roads. Also used in pit maintenance. - E. Rubber Tire Front End Loaders - Can be used for loading trucks. F. There are supporting fuel and service vehicles in and out of the pit areas for the above listed equipment. 4. After the excavation is completed, the areas will be smoothed and left in a neat condition. Unsightly humps and depressions will be cut and/or filled. 5. The estimated time to excavate and haul the borrow material is about 30 days. This estimate is based on past performances on • similar projects. The contractor is allowed some latitude on time, equipment and sequence of operations. FARR P11 EXHIBIT E: RECLAMATION PLAN The goal of the reclamation plan is to revegetate the area for pasture, its premining use. It will still be higher than the adjacent irrigated land, but will be level enough to accept a sprinkler irrigation system in the future, thereby opening it for use as irrigated crop land if the landowner so desires. Either of these proposed post mining uses would be consistent and compatible with the surrounding agricultural activities. Implementation of the reclamation plan will have no adverse affect on the water, wildlife, air, soil or vegetation. WATER Surface and ground water systems will not be affected. WILDLIFE The Division of Wildlife stated in their letter (see Exhibit H) that the mining impact on wildlife will be minor. The immediate revegetation will provide a covered landscape for the smaller animals living in the area. AIR The action of the mild winds blowing in the area almost daily ventilates the area. Except for a slight increase in dust during construction there will be no adverse affect on air quality. SOIL Approximately 6 to 8" of soil will be stripped and stockpiled before the excavation of the borrow material. After the excavation is complete it will be placed over the mined areas. It does not contain any toxic materials and it will not come into contact with any toxic material. Other than disturbing the soils, there will be no adverse affect. VEGETATION Following are the revegetation and fertilizing types and rates for the affected area. Before any fertilizer is placed the previously stockpiled topsoil will be placed over the area as uniformly as possible 4 to 8" thick. Next it will be seeded, then fertilized with heavy cow manure spread at the FARR PIT EXHIBIT E: RECLAMATION PLAN "CONTINUED" rate of 20 tons per acre, and mulched. The following types and rates will be used and have been agreed upon by the landowner, Colorado Division of Highways and the Soil Conservation Service: SEEDING RATE SPECIES COMMON NAME PLS/ACRE Bouteloua Gracilis Blue Grama 0.9 Bouteloua Curtipendula Side Oats Grama 0.2 Schizachyrium Scoparium Little Bluestem 0.7 Calamouilfa Longifolia Prairie Sandreed 3.3 Andropogon Hallii Sand Bluestem 3.2 TOTAL PLS/ACRE - SEEDING 8.3 This seeding rate has been adjusted for a critical area planting. Following these recommendations closely will help make a successful seeding. Too much seed could be detrimental. Seeding shall be done in early spring, prior to April 1st, or after October 30th, which will allow the seed to lay dormant prior to germination in the spring. Seed should be planted 1/2 to 3/4 inch deep. FERTILIZER A heavy application of larger manure chunks (60% or more in the 6 to 8 inch range) applied at the rate of 20 tons plus per acre and yielding 200 pounds of nitrogen per acre, shall be placed over the seeding to prevent the soil from blowing. It is estimated the seeding and fertilizing will take approximately 3 days. FARR PIT EXHIBIT F: RECLAMATION PLAN MAP See attached map. F ARR PIT EXHIBIT G: WATER INFORMATION There will be no water diversion or impoundment since the operation does not affect surface or ground water systems. FARR PIT EXHIBIT H: WILDLIFE INFORMATION On November 13, 1979, Don Bogart, Environmental Biologist for the Division of Wildlife, inspected the Farr borrow area.
