Subject: USR1496:Mineral Agreements
Hi Jacqueline,
Regarding USR1492: Since the Planning Commission Hearing,we have been trying to get Agreements with the Mineral Owners
to satisfy the condition for scheduling the next Hearing with the County Commissioners. We have put a large amount of time and
effort into this and have been unable to get responses back from the Mineral Owners. Please see the attached documentation of
our efforts.
Our Question: Can we move forward and schedule the Hearing with the County Commissioners with this much action taken to
date?
If so, we would not stop our efforts to get a written Agreement from the Mineral Owners; however, it is extremely damaging to our
progress to be held up by the non-response of others that we cannot control. Our time is running short to be able to take
advantage of Spring and Summer business seasons.
Thank you so much for your help,
Ginger Fedak

�-. Sun Pony Ranch Documentation of Trying to Contact and Reach
Agreement with Mineral Owners for USR 1496 (Weld County)
a) Actions for General/All Mineral Owners:
(i) Friday, January 21, 2005: Wrote draft of Mineral Owner/Surface Owner
Agreement and ran it by Dave & Monica. Monica suggested sending it to
Jacqueline Hatch to see if it would be suitable.
(ii) Monday, January 24,2005: Sent draft of proposed letter to Jacqueline.
Received her response that it would be fine.
(iii) Onctoinq: I have printed Fax Machine documentation for all faxes sent trying to
elicit responses from the Mineral Owners.
b) John S. Willey: Phone #fora "Judith Danielson" found for the last
address of John Willey, 970-223-5272 (former spouse?).
(i) Tuesday, January 25, 2005: Called above number and voicemail said, "Hi,
you've reached Judy & Ed..." I did not leave a message as I was unsure who
this was.
(ii) January 25, 2005: Called Directory Assistance and asked for John Willey; none
listed. Asked for any Willey at this address; none listed. Asked for Danielson,
and J. Danielson is listed at this address.
(iii) January 25,2005: Because a"Dane Willey" signed fpr our certified letter at this
address. I called back in the evening and spoke to Judy. She said Dane is her&
John Willey's son, and Dane had delivered the letter to John. She said John
lives in Windsor and gave me his phone number, 970-222-3876.
(iv) January 25, 2005: Called and spoke to John Willey at home phone#, 970-222-
3876. I explained the situation and he said he"sees no problems" with our
planned use. I asked if I could fax him an Agreement that he could look over and
sign if it looked OK to him. He said yes and gave me his work fax#, 970-229-
5365. I asked if I could call him there first, to let him know when the fax would be
coming and he said that would not be necessary. In conversation, he said he
would like to know who the other mineral owners are. I gave him the names over
the phone and asked if Marylen Willey Lyons was related to him. He said,"Yes,
she's my sister." He also said she was on vacation in Hawaii until February 11`r'.
He then asked if I could send him the list of Mineral Owners. I explained we had
to pay about $1000 for this list, but I would fax him the names with our
Agreement letter tomorrow morning. Then 1 asked if he happened to speak to his
sister while she's in Hawaii, could he please ask her to call us (gave my work
800#)or email us. so we could fax the Agreement letter to her hotel, as time was
critical for us.
(v) Wednesday, January 26, 2005: Faxed the Agreement letter to John Willey at
his work. As a good will gesture to be helpful to him, I also sent him the list of
Mineral Owners that he knew we had paid big bucks for. I reiterated our request
for his help in contacting his sister.
(vi) Wednesday,January 26,2005: Called John Willey at home at 8:30 PM
because I had not heard from him in response to the fax I sent. He said he"was
so busy today, I didn't get over to the fax area." He was happy to hear that I had
sent the names of the mineral owners, as "I have some history in the area." I
asked about it and he said his Grandfather owned a farm covering many of the
now existing smaller land parcels. He asked if we had a well head on our
property. I said no, and he described it as being somewhere close to the junction
of County Road 2 and WCR 1 I told him that was just southwest of our property,
across County Road 1. 1 invited him out to see what our property and
Rev. 12.07.05
surrounding area looked like and he thanked me and said yes, that would be
interesting. Since he hadn't wanted to give me his work number, I gave him my
work phone# and asked him to call me tomorrow if he couldn't find the fax I had
sent.
(vii)Thursday, January 27, 2005: Did not get a phone call (or any response)from
John Willey, so assumed he found the Fax I had sent the previous day.
(viii) Thursday, January 27, 2005: Since we still had no response from John
Willey, we spoke with our attorney, Theresa Pickner, and explained the problems
we are having getting responses back from the Mineral Owners, as they do not
have any motivation or reason to follow up with us in a timely matter(or even at
all !) She advised us to not"bug them every day" but to be persistent.
(ix) Tuesday, February 1. 2005: Since we do not have a Work Phone Number for
John Willey, I sent him another Fax at his work. I did not include the original Fax
info, but just had a cover letter briefly re-explaining the prior Fax and asking if he
ever received it or had any questions? I asked him to please contact us and
gave multiple contact options. The cover page had his name in very large.
bolded letters so that anyone seeing the fax would get it to him.
(x) Monday, February 7, 2005: Update—No response from John Willey in any form
as yet. Could he be waiting for his sister to return?
c) Marylen Willey Lyons: 970-870-6457(Tom Lyons); 970-879-3974.
(i) Tuesday, January 25, 2005: Called 970-870-6457. The phone just rang and
rang with no option to leave a voicemail message.
(ii) Tuesday,January 25, 2005: Called 970-879-3974. This produced a ring, and
then it just beeped. Unsure if Fax number because it wasn't a normal Fax
,^ screech.
(iii) Tuesday,January 25. 2005: Found out from John Willey that Marylen is his
sister and she will be on vacation in Hawaii until February 11, 2005.
(iv) Tuesday, January 25, 2005: Asked John Willey for help in contacting Marylen
prior to 2/11/05 because the timing is critical for us.
(v) Wednesday, January 26, 2005: Again asked John Willey(in written form on
Fax)for assistance in contacting Marylen Lyons. As a good will gesture to be
helpful to him, in turn, I sent him the list of Mineral Owners that I had mentioned
to him that we had paid a lot of money for. i hoped that this action would
encourage him to help us contact his sister. Marylen.
(vi) Monday, February 7,2005: Update—No response from John Willey in any form
as yet, either for himself, or his sister, Marylen Lyons. Unable to contact Marylen
Lyons as she is vacationing in Hawaii.
d) Anadarko Land Corp: Houston office, 832-636-1000.
(i) Monday,January 24, 2005: Called 832-636-1000. Spoke to the person who
answered the phone and explained what I was looking for and why. She said,
"That would be our Royalties Department" and she transferred me to a voicemail
that said, "You have reached the `Revenue Accounting Helpline' and the
recorded message gave info for that and said if the caller had other issues or
questions to leave a message. I left a message asking for the name and phone
number of someone dealing with "Agreements between Mineral Rights Owners
and Surface Owners." I asked for a call back as soon as possible.
(ii) Wednesday.January 26, 2005: Have had no response, so called the main
number again and explained I had not received a call back and I needed to talk
to someone"live." She said, "They are only there between 2 and 4 PM" (Central
Time) and"answer the phone during that time." I ask for that direct number and
she gives me 800-359-1692. It is just past that time today (3PM Mountain Time)
Rev. 12.07.05
and I cannot call the next day because I have a work Project Meeting at the exact
same time frame.
(iii) Friday, January 28,2005: Called the 800-359-1692 phone number in correct
time frame and spoke to Lou Ann Johnson who answered, "Owner Relations

cell phone. I was able to answer and spoke with him about our situation and
explained our proposed use for the property. He said to go ahead and fax the
letter and gave me his Fax number, 832-636-5755. I asked him about how long
it might take for him to look it over and approve or not? He said he would have to
"pass it on to make sure everyone blesses it." He then commented that we were
probably in a hurry. I explained yes, and why. He said he would do what he
could.
(vii)Tuesday, February 1, 2005: At 3:35 PM I faxed the letter to George Peters with
Cover Page again stating multiple contact info for us, how we would appreciate
his quickly expediting this document, and to call us if any questions or concerns.

Our lighting plan relies upon both existing lighting and new lighting to be installed.
Property Entrance — no lighting is planned for installation at the entrance to our driveway.
However, because the area is particularly dark, we will install some reflective materials to help
clearly identify the boundaries of our driveway.
Horse Barn Exterior — the barn currently has exterior lights on the south side. We will install
similar flood lights on the west side, to illuminate the grooming areas. (A)
Pasture — the main entrance to the pasture will be lit and used as needed. This light will be
controlled by an on-demand timer so that it will shut itself off when unattended. (B)
Outdoor Arena — The outdoor arena currently is partially screened on the south by a hill
approximately 15 feet high. Two light poles will be inaittIll,ekne each at the west and east end
of the arena. Flood lights ---need specifications — hearoiright, broadcast, top screening, etc. —
will be installed. These lights will be aimed to direct all light down into the arena and will not
directly light any surrounding property. Arena lights will be manually controlled. (C&D)
Arena Parking — adjacent to the outdoor arena is a small parking area we anticipate will be
heavily used due to its proximity to the facilities. A flood light will be mounted on the same pole
as the east arena light to light this area. This light will be — aimed down, top screened, etc. This
light will be controlled by timer and will be illuminated from dusk until 9: 15 pm. (E)
Kennel — Exterior lights will be installed on a west,a id east side of the kennel. The east
side will be screene y the noise control wall The west side light will illuminate both the main
pedestrian entrance to a am as well as the vehicular entrance. (F&G) #�
Indoor Arena - If an when we build an indoor arena, exterior lights will be installed to safely
light the main eque 'an entrance. (H)

Our landscaping and screening plan focuses primarily on the kennel operation.
Dense landscaping shrubs will be planted along the east boundary of our property to screen our
NE neighbor's view of the back of the dog barn and south areas of the dog yards.
The area immediately south of the dog barn will be used for tractor and tractor implement
storage. This area is currently partially screened to the south and east by a 4-6 foot berm. This
berm will be capped with up to an 8 foot wall both to visually screen the equipment storage but
also as an integral element of our noise abatement plan. Our SE neighbor's driveway is
immediately adjacent to the south side of the dog barn. There currently exist 6 small evergreen
trees growing on that berm; the wall will be installed to the north of the trees so that the trees
remain visible from off of the property.
Future plans include planting several shade trees within the dog yards.

Driveway — our main gravel driveway will be re-graded and re-surfaced with a four inch
stabilized aggregate base. This process will improve the surface to one that is water and dust
resistant. If dust from the driveways becomes a problem, we will apply an approved surface
treatment.
Hones in pasture, and dogs in yards — horses and dogs both may wear away the natural grass
cover and expose the top soil of their respective turnout areas. Our pasture management plan
addresses both noxious weed control and soil improvement in the intent to maintain the grassland
nature of our property. Composting and spreading our manure waste will help improve the
viability of the top soil. Compost will be spread on portions of the property periodically.
Regular mowing will control weeds while promoting grass growth. We also will restore
irrigation to the horse pasture to also promote grass growth. We own shares of ISH ditch water
that will be used for irrigation.
Riding Arena — Our riding arena is filled with granite sand specifically used to resist breakdown
and minimize dust. Periodic watering will control dust production.

Kennel Operation Wastes
Dog Wastes
Solid dog wastes will be picked up several times a day and disposed of in the waste container
provided by Waste Management Corporation. The container will be kept closed to minimize
odor or pest accumulation and the contents of this container will be removed from the property
weekly.
Cleaning Chemicals
Commercial cleaners and sanitizers commonly used by kennels will be used for cleaning kennel
floors and walls daily. They will be washed into the septic system, which has been sized with
this use in mind.
Chemicals stored on site will not exceed a 3 month supply.
Feed bags, other packaging
We anticipate that many of our overnight boarding clients will bring their dog's regular food
with them so that we will not need to provide food for the majority of the dogs left with us.
Never the less, a 40 pound bag of dog food will feed approximately 50 dogs for one day. At
peak occupancy of 60 dogs overnight, with 100% not providing their own food, this will
consume no more than 2 40-pound bags of dog food per day.
Other packaging we anticipate will be for laundry supplies, shipping materials for retail products,
etc. These wastes will be recycled when possible, and otherwise disposed of as regular trash.
The waste container that will be emptied weekly by waste Management Corporation will be able
to accommodate this volume of trash_

Manure and bedding
Currently our 4 horses produce between 5 and 8 cubic feet of manure and bedding waste
overnight when they are in the barn. At maximum capacity of 20 horses this may reach 40 cubic
feet a day.
We will use hot composting to convert manure mixed with bedding(wood shavings), moldy hay,
and other organic wastes into a slow release fertilizer and an excellent soil conditioner. Our
compost plan involves a rotational, three-pile system. The three pile system involves two piles
that are in different stages of composting, while one pile is collecting new material. Every 6
weeks the piles will be transitioned to the next stage. The transition serves both to mix and
aerate the pile accelerating decomposition. At a maximum of 40 cubic feet a day for 6 weeks
this makes each pile potentially 1700 cubic feet of compost, or piles approximately 15 feet x 15
feet x 8 feet tall. Since composting reduces the volume of the material by 40 to 65%, each pile
will get smaller.
The raw manure pile will be frequently covered with organic wastes such as hay or grass
clippings to contain odors and be less attractive to insects. Once the composting process begins,
the odor naturally decreases. In addition, the heat generated by the hot compost process (120°
and 160°F) is inhospitable to insect eggs or larvae, preventing the spread of these pests.
Application of the compost to our pastures will be accompanied by pasture harrowing, to
incorporate the compost into the top soil and maximize nutrient absorption. These applications
are counter effective if done while the ground is frozen or saturated, so applications will be timed
during the appropriate weather conditions.
During the day all horses will be turned out to our 10 acre pasture. The pasture harrowing will
also break up clumps of manure in pasture so that they can be absorbed as well.
Feed bags, other packaging wastes
Currently we are consuming less than one bag of feed per horse per month. At peak capacity of
20 horses this volume will grow, yet we do not anticipate this waste to be a significant volume.
This waste, along with all other packaging for shampoos, first aid supplies, and equipment will
be disposed of in the regular trash by Waste Management Corporation to be removed from the
property weekly.

Ginger and Jacqueline, This request is reasonable and is sufficient for now. Please send a copy of

application or license to the Weld County Planning and Weld County Health's, Environmental Health Division.
This condition can not be truely satisfied until the building is completed, when completed a copy of the application

Char,
Attached is the statement we wrote up regarding Condition 1F (PACFA). Is this sufficient?
If it is not, I spoke with Lisa Gibson at the State Vet's office this morning and she said we could submit our
application early, if necessary, thus showing we are in process of obtaining our license.
Please let us know how to proceed to satisfy this Condition.
Thank you,
Ginger Fedak

Dear Brenda:
As part of an application to Weld County for a permit for Use by Special Review(USR)Little Thompson Water District was
contacted for their comments and/or concerns. In a referral dated 12/8/04 signed by Michael Cook,Little Thompson Water
Districts concerns were:1)Proper bacicf ow protection should be installed on the water service,and 2)Each residence is
required to have its own individual tap.
We have had an RP baddlow device installed on our water service as shown on the diagram atlad led and gave Weld
County a copy of the badcflaw device test report. Weld County says they still need something from LTWD stating that this
device is approved and meets LTWD's concerns. As per the second concern,if and when we add a second residence,a
second tap will be acquired.
Thanks
David Signer
