SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL
REVIEW (USR) QUESTIONNAIRE
The following questions are to be answered and submitted as part of the USR application. If a question does not
pertain to your use, please respond with"not applicable",with an explanation as to why the question is not applicable.
1. Explain, in detail,the proposed use of the property.
The full property encompasses 20.55 acres,zoned Agriculture,of which a portion is used for the ranch
residence and the rest is Agricultural land. The land currently has a large horse barn,a smaller barn,a large
outdoor riding arena,a pasture of approximately 10 acres in size,and other open areas. A stream runs
through the western edge of the property. There is a small pond within this stream surrounded by wetlands,
of which a portion lies on the property. We plan to keep the Agricultural ambiance and look of the land,as
that is our strategy for uniqueness in the marketplace.
We propose to operate a business that will encompass both horse operations and dog operations. We will
use the residence,the main horse barn,the riding arena,the horse pasture,and some of the other horse
facilities in much the same way as their use under the prior owner,who was a horse breeder. In accordance
with uses granted by right,we intend to operate a horse boarding stable. In addition,we plan to offer riding
lessons, horse day camp,and other adjunct horse programs to the public. We also propose to use about 3
acres of this property for a dog boarding and dog day care facility,Happy Tails Dog Ranch(HTDR). The
portion of the property that would be converted to the Dog Care facility would encompass both indoor play
areas and sleeping quarters, housed in the existing small barn,and outside play areas for day use.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22(Comprehensive Plan).
ARTICLE I: General Provisions
Our proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code in that we want to keep the land looking
agricultural in nature and we want to be good stewards of that land. We,the applicants, intend to hold to
environmental principles to reduce environmental degradation,and improve the current environmental
impact with weed control and other measures. As property and business owners,we intend to keep the land
viable and continue to grow its value. We want to keep property values in our area from decreasing;
therefore,we will adhere to uses that will not detract from the property values of our neighbors.
ARTICLE II: Land Use Categories
While recognizing that the conversion of agricultural lands to other uses will continue in Weld County,our
intent is to make our proposed commercial uses transparent to the public and with no detrimental impact to
the development opportunities of our adjacent landowners in the future. Our agricultural "ranch"ambiance
is an integral part of our Business Plan. We intend to improve the quality of the land with weed control,top
soil improvement, restoring irrigation facilities to the pasture, removing discarded building materials left
behind by the previous owner,and initiating a mosquito control program to keep it looking pastoral and
appealing. Even though our proposed uses are commercial in nature,it is not the type of business that
requires(or wants)a commercial development or zone. Any potential impacts of our"commercial"uses will
be mitigated,as addressed in this application,so that the property remains compatible with the surrounding
land uses. We intend to avoid undesirable conflicts by being good neighbors and taking the concerns of our
neighbors into account.
Our proposed use will not significantly change the appearance of our land. We will maintain,and if possible
expand,our 10 acres currently dedicated to pasture for the horse operations. The pond and wetlands area
will remain unchanged. The dog operations will take place largely within an existing structure, requiring only
the construction of fences for outdoor exercise areas.
Site Specific Development Plan and USR Questionnaire—Sun Pony Ranch,18490 WCR 1,Berthoud,CO 80513
ARTICLE III: Land Use Amenities
The area in which this property is located,along Weld County Road 1,already has adequacy of facilities and
services for our intended use.
• Fire Protection:The Berthoud Fire Protection District has informed us we are in an ISO Class 3 area.
• Law Enforcement:The current law enforcement available is adequate since we will not be a standard
commercial type of business or property. Additionally,there are 3 owner/residents living on the
property so that at least one of them should always be on site.
• Public Facilities:
oWater is provided by Little Thompson Water District. We also own 2 shares of Ish Ditch for
irrigation purposes.
°The property currently has a septic system;we propose to add a second septic at some point in
the future.
°Access Road:The Roadway Classification Plan approved by the Board of County
Commissioners classifies Weld County Road 1 as an"Arterial Road." This road is heavily
traveled year round;any additional traffic generated by our business would be insignificant.
°The availability of school or public park facilities are not relevant for our proposal.
ARTICLE IV: Environmental Resources
Our proposed use would not have any impact on air or water quality. Our Business Plan addresses how to
mitigate any impacts that our proposed use may have on noise and waste. We intend to be fully compliant
with established standards.
Our efforts to enhance the grass areas across our property though weed control,top soil improvement
and reestablishing irrigation will help promote ground cover which will minimize surface erosion.
Reestablishing our connection to the irrigation system will allow us to make use of the irrigation water
rights which we own. Drainage is handled by our pond,which is a feeder stream to the Rockwell
Reservoir near by.
Our operations will neither store nor release hazardous chemicals to the air. Any nuisance dust that
would possibly be caused by our horses in pasture,will be minimized by our efforts to enhance the
grass coverage therein. Our riding arena is filled with granite sand specifically used to resist
breakdown and minimize dust.
The horse operation will produce no noise pollution,but the dog operation has the potential to do so.
Our noise mitigation plans include: restricting dogs to be indoors during evening and night periods.
The dog barn will be insulated,both for temperature control and noise reduction purposes. In the
exercise yards,dogs will be supervised and barking behavior discouraged. Any dogs who continue to
be a barking nuisance will not be invited to return to our facilities.
We,as residents,are active participants in local recycling programs. Our residential waste is handled
via a dumpster from Western Disposal. We anticipate this dumpster to continue to suffice for the
additional non-recyclable waste generated by our business.
Manure waste will be composted and either reused on the property or will be removed. Dog waste will
be disposed of using an enzymatic digester system,or bagged and removed through our waste
management service. We will work with the Weld County Department of Health to determine the best
option for dog waste removal.
ARTICLE V:Natural Resources
Our proposed use will value wildlife and ecosystem components,such as the wetlands area on the western
edge of our property. We have observed a variety of species of water fowl on the property,including herons,
pelicans,and ducks,as well as Pheasant,Fox,and Coyotes. We intend to preserve these habitats to the best
of our ability.
We are interested in working together with the county and neighboring properties to encourage
interconnection of lands with trails and in coordinating noxious weed and mosquito control.
Site Specific Development Plan and USR Questionnaire—Sun Pony Ranch,18490 WCR 1,Berthoud,CO 80513
3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 23(Zoning)and the
zone district in which it is located.
ARTICLE I: Our proposed use is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code on Zoning because we
intend to keep the Agricultural nature of the property intact. The property is zoned as Agricultural and our
intent is to be able to operate our business so that it fosters the County's agricultural and business
economic bases;thereby helping to protect the tax base of the County. While our business will be mostly
service(s),we also propose to have a small retail outlet which would add to the County tax base. In this
"best of both worlds"scenario,we would protect the Agricultural aspect of the land and also contribute to
the tax base without requiring a commercial development. Our non-urban"development"for our proposed
use will protect the agricultural nature of the land and conserve the value of its own,and surrounding,
properties. Our planned and orderly proposed use will protect the lands from activities that would endanger
the environment and wildlife or wildlife habitat.
ARTICLE II: By filing this Application for Use by Special Review(USR)we are compliant with the Weld
County Code on Zoning for those"uses which have been determined to be more intense or to have a
potentially greater impact than the Uses Allowed By Right" in an Agricultural Zone District. According to the
Weld County Code on Zoning,the horse boarding services are Uses Allowed By Right for an agricultural
property. We are applying for the following uses by this Special Review process: riding lessons,summer
camps,horse-oriented parties,and dog kennel boarding and dog day care services.
ARTICLE III: We recognize and adhere to the principle that Agriculture in the County is considered a
valuable resource which must be protected from adverse impacts. Because the Agricultural Zone District is
also intended to provide areas for the conduct of Uses by Special Review,our application herewith is keyed
to the protection of the surrounding agricultural land uses. We recognize that our farming,ranching,grazing
of livestock,and horse boarding and training operations are included in our Uses Allowed by Right. Our
application for USR is for the additional uses of Horseback Riding Lessons,Horsemanship Day Camp,
Horse-oriented parties or picnics,and a dog kennel facility that will offer both overnight dog boarding and
Doggie Day Care.
4. What type of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible with
surrounding land uses.
The three adjacent properties are farms that include residences;they all grow hay/alfalfa crops. The
property to the west of us also breeds miniature horses.
Our Horseback Riding Lessons and Horsemanship Day Camp will fit entirely into the rural,agricultural
setting. Our property and business will own a number of "School Horses" to be used for lessons and camp.
Multiple horses on the property are compatible with the use of the surrounding areas by adding to the
pastoral beauty of the region, as well as the agricultural ambiance that is consistent with the region. The use
that applies to the horse parties/picnics will be utilized only by those groups who desire a country setting
and rural atmosphere for their function. Therefore,the use will remain consistent and compatible with the
surrounding land.
Our dog boarding and day care will fit into this rural,agricultural setting due to our unique concept of a
"Dog Ranch,"or more specifically a "Dude Ranch for Dogs." All kennel personnel will honor the agricultural
integrity of the site through our Policies and Procedures. The uniqueness of our concept revolves around
the fact that we are not like a city kennel. We are a rural, country setting where the dog"guests"will benefit
from,and thoroughly enjoy, spending some time in the country in an agricultural, ranch setting.
5. Describe, in detail,the following:
a. How many people will use this site?
The number of people using the site for the USR applications regarding the Riding Lessons and
Summer Day Camp will be seasonally variable. In the wintertime, people using the site for Riding
Lessons will be sporadic, if at all. During the Spring,Summer,and Fall, non-camp riding lessons
will mostly be on weekends,with 5 to 6 people per lesson. At full capacity,of 8 to 10 lessons per
week,the maximum number of students would be 48 to 60 students per week. At the present time,
our proposed Horse Day Camp in the Summer would average 10 to 12 campers each day of the 5 day
Site Specific Development Plan and USR Questionnaire-Sun Pony Ranch,18490 WCR 1,Berthoud,CO 80513
camp week. We would like to reserve the right to expand the camp to 20 campers per day/week in
the future(if market conditions and business growth warrants it). It should be noted that many of
the Day Campers will utilize car pools to access the site,thereby cutting down on vehicle trips.
The"Horse Parties" Use wilt include functions such as Children's Birthday Parties and small
corporate or family picnics. These Party Function uses wilt also be seasonal and potentially average
4 to 5 per month during the summer. Also,there will be additional people using the property for the
Horse Boarding Facility. While the Sun Pony Ranch Horse Boarding is not a formal part of this USR
Application, it should be noted that persons boarding their horses at SPR will be using the property
site as well. At maximum capacity we would have 15 Boarder Horses,of which some owners will
come out to the site on an occasional basis and some owners may come out several times a week.
The number of people who use this site for our Dog Care Facility will vary depending upon time of
year and which services the Dogs are coming for. If they are coming for the Day Care Program,we
plan to use a dog"pick up and drop off"service for the convenience of the dog owners. While some
people may choose to bring their dogs themselves,our"Canine Carpool"service will cut down on
people visits to the property.
If the dogs are coming for the longer term,overnight boarding services,typical stays would be for
multi-day or multi-week usage. Therefore,a dog staying for one week would have one person visit
for bringing them,and another person visit for picking them up.
We anticipate two different high volume holiday periods where we could potentially achieve our
maximum capacity for dog boarding. These two holiday periods are around the Thanksgiving
Holiday and the Christmas/New Years time frame. Other holiday periods revolving around Memorial
Day Weekend, Fourth of July, and Labor Day Weekend,could also bring larger than normal dog
boarders. If we are approved for a 60 dog maximum capacity,the people visits would not approach
those numbers due to the fact that arrival and departure dates will be different for all our dog guests.
Therefore,the number of people who would use this facility for Dog Boarding purposes could vary
from 0 per day in low volume time periods to about 20 per day in high volume, maximum capacity
days on either end of a holiday time period. These high volume, maximum capacity days would be
limited to just a few days per year in the above noted holiday time periods,at the front or back end
of the period.
b. How many employees are proposed to be employed at this site?
For the SPR Horse facility,we will employ 1 or 2 Part-Time Employees(PTE's)for the Summer Day
Camp. Additional PTE's may eventually be added in proportion to the growth of the business.
For the Dog Care business, initially,the only employees will be the three owners and potentially 1 or
2 PTE's. As we grow the business,additional PTE's will be added as needed. We intend to be
licensed by the Pet Animal Care Facilities Act(PACFA), and will, at minimum,adhere to the PACFA
guidelines of one human supervisor per 15 dogs. Our actual human to dog ratio will be an
improvement on the PACFA guidelines but will vary with the occupancy rate, activities involved,and
time periods.
c. What are the hours of operation?
The hours of operation for the Horse Facility will include the Boarding(non-USR)hours for horse
owner visits from 7AM to 9PM. The Horseback Riding Lesson hours of operation will vary
seasonally,but will typically be weekends from 9AM to 7PM. The Summer Horsemanship Day Camp
hours of operation will be from 9:30AM to 2:30 PM.
The hours of operation for the Dog Facility will be divided into the hours for Day Care and the hours
for Dog Boarding. The Day Care Program will be weekdays only,and will open at 6:30AM and close
at 6PM. Most Day Care Dogs will leave prior to that time on the Canine Carpool; however,owners
who pick up their dogs will be allowed to come until 6PM. For the Dog Boarding Operation,the
hours of operation for the drop-off and pick-up of the dogs will be 6:30AM to 6PM, maximum,7 days
a week. The on site supervision of the boarding dogs will be 24/7 by the on-site owners/managers.
Site Specific Development Plan and USR Questionnaire-Sun Pony Ranch,18490 WCR 1,Berthoud,CO 80513
d. What type and how many structures will be erected(built)on this site?
In the immediate future,there will be no new structures built on this site. The main construction
would involve the modification of an existing barn. This modification would be transparent to the
outside,as the construction and changes would all be inside the barn.
There are some additional structures we would like to add to this USR Application,even though they
would not be built for quite some time(if ever). Cash flow,business growth,and other monetary
considerations would dictate if and when the structures would be built. In the interest of
simplification,process consolidation,and cost savings,we would like to include these structural
requests in this Application for approval,even though they may never be built. However,since any
of them may be years in the future(if ever)we would like to reserve the right to adapt any final plan
for the structures,within acceptable ranges,at that time of the building process.
The structures for the Riding Lesson and Horse Camp Facility proposed use are already built. They
are a large barn, large outdoor riding arena, and indoor exercise area in the barn. We propose a
modification to the large horse barn to add a small bathroom. We would then need to add an
auxiliary septic to support this.
We would like to propose an additional structure,an indoor riding arena, for future consideration.
While the building of this structure may be years in the future, if at all, we would like to have that
option if it becomes necessary to remain competitive in the horse boarding business. This arena, if
ever built, would be placed in the area least intrusive to the site and to the views of our neighbors.
Since it is not an immediate consideration, we would like to reserve the right to adapt any final plan,
within acceptable ranges, if and when the decision is ever made to build this structure.
Also proposed for a potential "structure"in the future would be lighting for the outdoor arena. While
this is not planned for any immediate use, we again would like to have the option to build it if it
becomes necessary to remain competitive. This lighting would adhere to the Weld County Zoning
Code referenced in Sec.23-2-250 D.
The main structure for the Dog Care facility is already built. However,we propose to modify this
small barn for conversion to a dog kennel facility. It will contain both sleeping/resting quarters in
enclosed kennels and an indoor play area. We will also build out separate areas that would be used
for a laundry and cleaning area for the facility,a dog grooming room,a half bath for employee use,
and an office with small retail outlet. We propose to add dog fencing for the outdoor exercise/play
areas in the form of 3 large"yards," accessible from the dog barn. The auxiliary septic mentioned
above(for the half bath in the horse barn)would also support the washroom/laundry facilities in the
Dog Barn.
We would like to propose an additional structure,a second dog kennel building, for future
consideration. While the building of this structure may be years in the future, if at all, we would like
t0 have that option if it becomes necessary to remain competitive in the dog boarding business by
having the additional indoor space. This structure would be smaller than the existing dog barn, be
one "short"story high,and between 1200 to 2000 square feet. It would be placed near the current
small barn and in the area least intrusive to the site and to the views of our neighbors. Since it is not
an immediate consideration, we would like to reserve the right to adapt any final plan within these
ranges, if and when the decision is made to build this structure.
In addition to the above proposed structures for possible future construction, we would like to add a
small residence as another possible future consideration. This additional residence would be built
in the event we would need it for on-site manager housing. This manager residence would be one
story in height,between 1600 and 2000 square feet,and built from a material(such as adobe or
stucco)that would blend and conform with the land. We believe this proposed residence would be
preferable,both visually and aesthetically to a mobile home that would be considered a "Use
Allowed By Right"under the Weld County Code. However, with space and line of sight
considerations, this structure would probably never be built unless additional land was purchased
for the current property.

Site Specific Development Plan and USR Questionnaire—Sun Pony Ranch,18490 WCR 1,Berthoud,CO 80513
e. What type and how many animals, if any, will be on this site?
The above referenced horses and dogs will be on this site. The breakdown would be as follows:
Animal Type Initial Capacity Future Expansion Capacity
Boarder Horses: 13 18 to 20(Total)if"Pasture Only"
boarding option is added
Lesson Horses 7 11
Animal Type Normal Capacity Limited Holiday Period Capacity
Day Care Dogs 20 20
Boarder Dogs 30 60
f. What kind (type,size, weight)of vehicles will access this site and how often?
The principle vehicles that will access this site will be typical passenger vehicles(cars,SUVs,small
trucks)with sizes anywhere between a small sedan and a pickup truck. The weights would be up to
10,000 pounds GVW for a large SUV. These passenger vehicles would access the site every day for
the purposes described above,such as Riding Lessons, Horse Boarder visits, Day Camp,and dog
drop off or pick up. However the numbers will vary greatly between our busy seasons and off
seasons(referenced above). As mentioned above in 5.a,day campers will use car pooling to reduce
the number of vehicle visits to the property.
Other vehicles to access this site will be occasional trips by horse trailer(s)to pick up or deliver
horses. These trips will not occur very often. For the dog Day Care business,a small converted
school bus will be utilized as a "Canine Carpool"for transporting dogs twice a day on weekdays.
g. Who will provide fire protection to the site?
The Berthoud Fire Protection District will provide the fire protection for the site. We are in an area
that is categorized as ISO Class 3.
h. What is the water source on the property? (Both domestic and irrigation).
The domestic water source is supplied by the Little Thompson Water District. There are 2 shares of
Ish Reservoir water for irrigation.
What is the sewage disposal system on the property? (Existing and proposed).
The existing sewage disposal is a septic system for the residence.
Our application includes a proposed small bathroom added to the large horse barn. We would then
propose an auxiliary septic to support this additional bathroom.
For our proposed Dog Care Facility,we are researching an enzymatic waste disposal system for the
dog manure. If this does not prove to be a viable option,we will routinely pick up and bag the dog
waste as we supervise the play yards. It will then be disposed of through a Waste Management
service. At minimum,we will adhere to the PACFA guidelines for waste removal.
The auxiliary septic we propose would be used for,and support, both the half bath to be added to
the horse barn and the washroom/half bath/laundry facilities in the Dog Barn.
j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of items will be stored?
None proposed.
Site Specific Development Plan and USR Questionnaire—Sun Pony Ranch,18490 WCR 1,Berthoud,CO 80513
6. Explain the proposed landscaping for the site.The landscaping shall be separately submitted as a landscape
plan map as part of the application submittal.
Any proposed landscaping would be the simple addition of trees and shrubs,and would not be a part of this
application process. While it would enhance the visual aspect of the property from within and from without
the property boundaries, it is not a requirement for our proposed use.
7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special Review activity occurs.
None proposed or required.
8. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site.
The current storm water drainage is adequate for the site. The natural slope of the land allows for non-
erosional drainage. However,we still plan to make slight improvements for the convenience and comfort of
our customers. We will add gravel pads to the high traffic areas around the barns and do some minor
grading to allow drainage of any areas that might collect standing water. Since we are not proposing a
development that includes paving,there will be no generation of additional run-off.
9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping is scheduled to
begin.
As noted in Question 5.d.,the only immediate construction that will be necessary will be the conversion of
the small barn into a Dog Care Facility, and the set up of the dog fencing for the attached exercise/play
yards. This build-out should take 6 to 8 weeks. It would have minimal impact on the area,since it is a
conversion of an existing building, not new construction. We would begin this conversion construction as
soon as the USR is approved(or sooner, if initial response is positive enough that it would be allowed).
10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site.
Normal waste will be stored in our Waste Management Service dumpster and removed from the site on our
regularly scheduled service days.
Horse manure and shavings removed from the barn area will be composted in a dedicated area,and either
spread as part of our soil improvement program,or removed from the property periodically.
Dog waste—see section 5.i.,above, under sewage disposal.

Dear Jacqueline,
Re: USR 1496
You had mentioned that if we had a particular facility in mind that we would like to emulate, we should get a photo and send it to
you for your files.
There are very few dog kennel facilities that are currently doing what we want to do with the large, outside "socialized" play yards.
However, there is one in Erie that is close to what we intend. Attached is a photo page from their website showing one of their
play yards.
They also have a policy on barking and I have attached another page found under the "Agreement" link on their website On it I
have highlighted the item addressing the barking issue. We would have an "Agreement" or contract very similar to this one,
including the clause on the barking.
If you would like to visit their website, it does incorporate a lot of our common concepts and policies. That website is:
