Morrison Planning Department Representative, James Mayerl The following business was transacted: I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated May 7, 1984, and duly pub- lished May 10, 1984, in the La Salle Leader, a public hearing was conducted to consider the application of Clarence and Florence Rickman for a Use by Special Review for a poultry farm. Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, read this • request into the record. The recommendation of the Planning Commission was read into the record by Jim Mayerl, Planning Department representative. Jeffrey Larson, attorney representing the applicant, reviewed the application and called five persons forward. Mr. Rickman stated that he has been in the poultry business for four years, raising 34,000 chicks at a time. His current proposal is to raise chickens for hackles to be used in fly tying. A drawing of the proposed operation was submitted to the Board. Mr. Richman explained the sanitation procedures to be followed to avoid disease and stated he will follow a strict quality control program and elaborated on his plans. Dean Anderson, who previously served as pro- duction manager for a poultry production facility near Hudson, stated that Mr. Rickman was one of the finest poultry growers he found. Carey L. Quarles, presi- dent of Colorado Quality Hackles stated that his company produces feathers for fly tying which are shipped to about 15 countries. Dr. Quarles further stated that he will furnish and own the birds, with Mr. Rickman under contract to raise than. He currently has a facility near Fort Collins and one in the Greeley area. Dr. Quarles stated he did not know of any feather complaints from the Fort Collins facility, and he felt that this new facility will be ccmpatible with the sur- rounding area. John H. Schwartz, executive vice president of Colorado Quality . Hackles, spoke concerning the quality control program which Mr. Rickman would have to follow and stated that it would be his responsibility to see that this program was in fact followed by Mr. Rickman. Dr. Schwartz stated that the bird density is kept low to eliminate loss of feathers and this results is less dust being created. (Tape change #84-51) Robert Hillman, chief nutritionist for The Denver Feed Company, spoke about his company's relationship with Mr. Rickman, stating that Mr. Rickman's birds have been the finest prepared layers in the State of Colorado. He spoke of the safety precautions taken when his company delivers to a poultry producer. Ed VanWestenberg presented a petition from the residents of the neighborhood who oppose this request to the Board. He stated that the presentation has convinced him it would be a good operation, but he does not want it located so close (140' ) to his house. Dan Pollard, a Brighton real estate agent spoke about the possible devaluation of property. He presented a letter to the Board from a person who has signed a contract to purchase property in the neighborhood. This letter stated the contract would be voided if this Use by Special Review is granted. Michael Strear, representing Strear Farms, turkey producers with 15 commercial farms and 6 breeding farms in Weld County, expressed the concerns of his company which has a turkey farm one mile from the proposed site. His company is concerned about the possible spread of disease from the chickens to their turkeys. Ron Strear, also of Strear Farms, also spoke about the possibility of disease being spread. Chuck Evans, a resident of the neighborhood, questioned how water used in the proposed poultry operation would be disposed of. He stated this area has clay soil and in the spring the water table is very high, so that water disposal is a very real problem. Con- siderable discussion was held, during which Helen Baldwin also spoke in opposition to the proposal. Commissioner C. Carlson stated that this agricultural venture should be allowed to go anywhere in the County, regardless of residences, but he had two concerns with the proposed location--its proximity to already established turkey farms and the problem of water. Following further discussion, Chairman TAPES #84-50 & #84-51 DOCKET #84-26 LHR 297 Page 2 RE: HEARING CERTIFICATION-USR-RICEMAN N. Carlson stated that he was very impressed with the quality of this proposed operation, however, he is concerned about the population on VCR 26 and the turkey farm on VCR 24. He would very much like to see this operation established in Weld County, but does not feel this location is the right place. Commissioner C. Carlson moved to deny the Use by Special Review for a poultry farm requested by Clarence and Florence Rickman. Commissioner Martin seconded the motion. Commisssioner Johnson stated that she will vote against the motion to deny the Use by Special Review because she felt this could only be denied on the basis of inadequate protection of the health, safety and welfare and she felt these were adequately protected. The motion to deny the Use by Special Review for Clarence and Florence Rickman carried by the following vote: Commissioners Brantner, C. Carlson and Martin and Chairman N. Carlson voted aye, and Commissioner Johnson voted nay.

Em • COLORADO QUALITY RESEARCH COLORADO QUALITY HACKLES QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM COLORADO QUALITY HACKLES, INC. COLORADO QUALITY RESEARCH, INC. Position Title: John H. Schwartz, Director of Quality Control Reports To: Carey L. Quarles, President and Chief Executive Officer Purpose: Staff responsibility for quality control programs where required. Scope: All areas of the company where quality control is exercised. Introduction A quality control program can be set up so that each flock, farm or division would be a research project in itself. This we know is not practical. The following quality control program should be used as a guide. In some departments it needs to be expanded, and in other it may be reduced, depending on a particular department's operation and structure. There are, however, some basic rules that should be followed in any quality control program: 1. John Schwartz is responsible for the overall program. This quality control specialist should keep up to date on new research development in the area. 2. An educational program should be made for all personnel participating. They should be made aware of the importance of this program to the company. 3. The leader should meet periodically with the various divisions. No program is better than its weakest link. 4. The program should be subject to change as new methods and developments are discovered. 2 • Principal Duties and Responsibilities 1. Develop, and keep current, sanitation programs for hatcheries, research farm, production farms, brooding units and growing units. 2. Develop, and keep current, disease prevention and monitoring programs for all areas of operation. 3. Develop, and keep current, disease treatment programs for all areas of operation. 4. Establish nutritional standards for flocks. 5. Establish weight guidelines for flocks. 6. Regularly monitor all hatcheries, farms, flocks, vehicles, etc. for adherence to all established quality control programs and regularly make written reports directly to President. 7. Cooperate closely with all department heads in implementation of all quality control programs. 8. Work with department heads in developing and implementing employee training program in quality control. 9. Work closely with state and private laboratories and Poultry Improve- ment Associations, also key personnel at universities, research stations and government stations. (Carey L. Quarles will assist in this. 10. Maintain personal professional abilities by individual reading, study and commmunication and by attending appropriate schools and seminars. Sanitation and Security Each employee must constantly be aware of the fact that he or she is an important link in our program chain. Study, think, talk, and practice each step of the Quality Control Program. 3 SANITATION I. SUPPLIES FOR VEHICLES Equipped with: A. Two plastic pails B. One large covered plastic container for used coveralls C. One or two stiff nylon bristle brushes D. Clean coveralls or lab coat for the day' s work schedule individually contained in a new plastic bag and tied with a new wire enclosure E. Ten inch high treadless rubber boots F. Expandable—disposable paper caps G. Container of disinfectant H. Container of water I. Dust pan and brush J. Sponge K. Paper towels L. Equipment storage chest (depending on type of vehicle) II. ALL PERSONNEL - FLOCK SUPERVISORS A. On arrival at farms, park vehicles as far as practical from poultry houses. B. Coveralls and head covering; one plastic pail is prepared with disinfectant and the second with plain water. Immerse boots in disinfectant solution before putting them on. C. After the flock inspection has been completed: 1. Remove boots, scrub with disinfectant solution, rinse in plain water, check to make sure they are completely clean. 4 2. Remove coveralls, fold or roll (don' t let them come in contact with your street clothes) , place in plastic bag and tie with wire enclosure, deposit in the large covered plastic container. 3. Wash posting instruments, catching hook, etc. in disinfectant and rinse. 4. Sanitize and rinse brushes and pails. 5. FOR EACH AND EVERY FARM VISIT, USE CLEAN COVERALLS, NEW PAPER CAP OR HELMET, SANITIZED BOOTS, EQUIPMENT, ETC. D. If there is need for birds to be posted by a pathologist, place them in the coop and transport them directly to the lab. NEVER PLACE BIRDS INSIDE YOUR STATION WAGON AND NO STOPS BETWEEN PROBLEM FLOCK AND LAB. E. On entering and leaving the lab, the precautions as outlined under item II A, B and C must be carefully followed. REMEMBER to sanitize your coop and vehicle before another farm visit is made or returning to the office. F. Vehicle floor is to be cleaned daily (dust pan and brush or vacuum) and exterior washed and fumigated every weekend—more frequently when necessary. G. When the day's work schedule has been completed, all boots are to be cleaned and sanitized on the inside as well as the outside. 5 III. EMPLOYEES involved in grading, housing, blood testing, vaccination, supervision, etc.: A. Follow carefully the instructions under item II A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, F, and G. B. All other people such as electricians, plumbers, carpenters, etc. must be instructed as to our sanitation requirements and procedures before they enter any of our facilities. C. Drivers of feed, litter, fuel, etc. trucks must not enter our houses. D. Employees, contract growers and their family members, must not keep pet birds, turtles, reptiles, etc. or poultry of any type, nor work at or visit other poultry farms, processing plants, etc. E. Encourage each employee to bathe and wear clean clothing daily. F. Encourage employees to use a pair of work shoes that will be worn only when working at our facilities. G. Shirt sleeves must not extend below the sleeves of the coveralls. I. If you should ever know or suspect any loop-holes in our program or of any individual who refuses to completely follow our regulations, notify the Director of Quality Control immediately. J. HOLD EMPLOYEE MEETINGS as often as necessary and EDUCATE people as to how their particular job fits into the functions of the company. 6 IV. VEHICLES, EQUIPMENT; MACHINERY, ETC. (Where Not Covered Previously) A. VEHICLES: 1. Don' t use hatchery vehicles for transporting birds other than day—old chicks. 2. Vehicles for transporting birds: a. Must be properly washed and disinfected between farms from top to bottom. This includes the cab. Scrub floor, and with a disinfected sponge clean seats, dashboard, sun visors, doors, etc. , etc. b. Special attention must be given to washing and disinfecting vehicles that are not owned or when our vehicles are required to deliver to a processing plant. 3. Wash—spray rigs. Trailers, etc. must be cleaned and sanitized between farms. B. EQUIPMENT: 1. Coops must be properly washed and disinfected between farms, and when not in use they must be stored in a building screened (3/4 — 1" mesh wire) against wild birds. 2. Catching pens, tools, etc. must be washed and disinfected between farms. 3. Grading and weighing scales are to be wiped with a clean, disinfected sponge between flocks. Don't scrub or immerse in water. 4. Weigh coops must be cleaned and disinfected before moving to another building or farm. 7 SECURITY A. Visitors will absolutely not be allowed to visit any farm without permission from top management. B. All farms are to be fenced where practical. C. Roads leading to farms are to be blocked by a padlocked gate. D. "KEEP OUT — DISEASE CONTROLLED FLOCK" signs are to be posted at gates, sanitation house doors, and main service door of each house on each farm. E. All doors are to have interior hooks or locks. £. Domestic animals are not permitted in poultry houses. G. Company owned or leased farms are to have a sanitation building (always locked) equipped with an adequate supply of sanitized boots and coveralls, head wear, washer, dryer, lavatory, lockers, disinfectant, etc. Clean and sanitize floor as the last detail of the day. H. Provide foot pans at all house entrances. Thoroughly scrub boots before entering and exiting. Don' t scrub boots in the foot pan— this dilutes and contaminates the solution. A clean solution is to be prepared as often as necessary—minimum of once daily. I. Use clean coveralls. J. Use TREADLESS boots (buff with abrasive wheel) . K. Dispose of dead, culled, and posted birds by incinerator. L. Practice good rodent and fly control. 8 V. FARMS A. When practical, one attendant per house, and no traffic between houses. B. When it isn' t practical, due to reduced bird population or young flock ages, an attendant will manage more than one house. When such a situation exists, the same pair of coveralls may be worn between houses. HOWEVER, BOOTS MUST BE PROPERLY SCRUBBED before -entering and exiting from each house, and hands washed. C. IN CASE OF A DISEASE PROBLEM, the house involved is to be handled ms a separate farm, using separate coveralls, cap, washed hands, and same boots after proper scrubbing. D. At the close of the day's duties, each attendant will scrub his boots on leaving his respective house. On entering the sanitation building, boots will be re-cleaned (inside and out) , paper cap disposed of or plastic helmets sanitized, coveralls washed, hands washed, coveralls dried. E. During the cooler months the paper caps or plastic safety helmets may not provide sufficient warmth for our employees. If such is the case, a washable head covering may be worn but it must be laundered as in item D above.

May 23, 1984 Honorable Norman Carlson Chairman Board of Commissioners of Weld County Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Commissioners: Mr. C.W. Rickman, P.O. Box 1007, Lyons, Colorado 80540, has recently submitted an application to Weld County to construct a poultry facility, which will be located on the southeast corner of Weld County Roads 29 and 26. My interest in addressing this letter to you is that Mr. Rickman has Dperated a poultry facility, which numbered 34,000 birds, on a 2i acre site, located on Apple Valley Road which is about a mile west of Lyons and in my judgment, it is one of the most beautiful areas in Boulder County. Mr. Rickman has made application to Weld County for the construction of a facility which would consist of 6 buildings at this described location, 3 of which would be 40'x180' in dimensions and 3 buildings which would be 40'x360' in dimensions. To save a lot of verbage and reading upon your part, Mr. Rickman informs me that all of the plans concerning his proposed facility are in the hands of your Planning Department and received an unfavorable decision when his application was submitted to your Planning Commission. I have interrogated him thoroughly concerning this proposed new facility because despite the fact that he has had this described facility in Lyons for the past four years, we have never received one complaint concerning the operation and in fact, he informs me that petitions favoring his operation are in the hands of your Planning Department. In his new facility one day old chicks will be housed in the 3 buildings which are 40'x180' in area and then they will be transferred to the larger buildings, which are known as growing houses, for a period of 6 months. The entire facility is reported to have a construction cost of 1 million dollars end is located in an area which is zoned agricultural in your county; thusly, it is difficult for me to understand why in this particular area which does not have a dense population that such strong objections against the same would be made by his prospective neighbors. herbert e. "buz" smith, jr John p. murphy josie heath district#1 district#2 -district /ri3 Commissioner Norman Carlson May 23, 1984 Page 2- There is a facility in temporary use for the growing of these "hackles" about 3 miles west of Greeley in facilities under lease from Colorado State University. I am attaching hereto a brochure which Mr. Rickman has given to me and for your information, the birds are grown exclusively for their feathers which are used to make fishing flies and are sold to fly tiers of all types, both amateur and professional . I feel that you will find the brochure to be of particular interest because it was never known to me until I read the same that such a particular bird was reared for that definite purpose. My interest in writing this latter to you is to afford you background concerning Mr. Rickman who comes to you as a complete stranger, as does he come to the Weld County Planning Commission as well as the Board of Commis- sioners and I can assure you that it has been my long experience that a latter or testimonials from a man's former neighbors when he moves into a -different area can be of immeasured val in making a fair and proper decision. I have suggested to Mr. Rickman ontact you d explain hi .sa_tuation to you but I do want you know that I writ this letter 'n sinceriity and'",en- thusiasm because of the fine record which he has esta lished as an operator in Boulder County. \ Very t u y yours, _Jac 5 unty Co ioner JM:re Enc. .1 I AnDum 44 t ape To Wes Potter, -Director of Environ- Data May 29. 1984 mental Health & Laboratory COLORADO FromTC)m Wnftke, Fnvi rnnmental Health Sp ri al i ct subject: USR 624:84 :20 Rickman. Clarence W. Due to the specializations within the current poultry industries, especially in the areas of disease transmission and control, I felt the need to consult proper authority. The key factor has been the proximity of this USR site to an _existing Turkey farm, located one mile to the South. The question arose as to possible contaminations from one farm to the other. The local Veterinarian's contacted were Dr. Dull of Ft. Lupton and Dr. Frank of the Alpine Clinic in Greeley. Both; advised that Avian specialists would be more qualified to answer any questions. I spoke with Dr. John Schwartz of Colorado State University. He is associated with Dr. Quarles and both are of the poultry Science Division. Dr. Schwartz was familiar with the USR permit, and remarked that the proximity to the turkey. farm would cause no problems whatsoever, especially with the quality care expected at "Rickman's Roost". Dr. E. Mallinson, an avian pathologist in Maryland expressed some concerns, such as manure/feed truck routs, bird condition (disease free) , and referred me to Dr. Kumar of the Mile High Turkey Farms, out of Longmont. fir. Kumar expressed his concerns, he feels that five to ten miles to be a minimum distance from farm to farm, as well as proper manure/feed truck route management. Overall, our staff is not equipped to adequately judge this situation, since there appears to be either a difference of opinion mr lack of total design understanding between the two main references. TW/jkm n a \jy.\ r„ �9 NJ. o ADDITIONAL COMMENTS USR-624 Richman's Roost On April 26, 1984, I called and talked with Doctor Silverman, Pathologist, University of Pennsylvania; Doctor Robert Eckroade, Member of the American Association of Avian Pathologists, University of Pennsylvania; and Doctor Dwight Schwatz, Poultry Veterinarian, Pennsylvania State. All three doctors agreed on the following points: 1. Routine cleaning and propert maintenance will prevent the spread of diseases; 2. Doctor Quarells has an excellent reputation in the field of disease research; 3. One (1) mile distance between poultry operations is ample space to prevent diseases from being spread; and 4. Manure from the poultry operations should not be spread near other poultry farms. James R.

BOX 568 PLATTEVILLE, CO. 80651 Department of Planning Services Weld County Colo. '915 10th Street Greeley, Colo. 80631 The Platteville Fire Department has reviewed the request for the proposed bird poultry complex southwest of Platteville and have the following recogmendations: 1. We would like to have one additional exit provided to the complex this may be in the form of a gate or open driveway. We feel this is nessacary in case the one entrance should become blocked. 2. We would like to recbgmend that a reliable water source be set up on the site. Our nearest supply of water is over 2 miles away from the complex and would have to be trucked in. By reliable water source we mean one which is usable year round and to which we can easily atach our equipment.

Mayerl Date April 11 , 1984 COLORADO From Rodney H. Hutchinson, Engineering Manager( j/L-2 Subject: CLARENCE W. RICKMAN - USR 624:84:20 - Poultry Farm We have reviewed the Clarence W. Rickman application for a Use by Special Review for a poultry farm, pertaining to the drainage and find that the proposed use should have minimal impact on runoff to adjacent properties. The property drains northerly to Weld County Road 26 where drainage ditches exist which appear adequate. As long as runoff is not permitted to drain into the existing irrigation ditch which crosses the property, we take no exception to the application. i 'JJ r i l h� We d Co.

Planning C:_,...::, ,,,, Mr. James R. Mayerl Department of Planning Services 915 10th Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Mr. Mayerl: Having been trained in poultry management and disease control, we feel that the Clarence Rickman proposed poultry operation will pose no serious disease liability to any existing poultry operation in the area. We base this conclusion on the following reasons: 1. We have a closed breeding system for our chickens, i.e., we raise all of our own replacement stock. No outside stock has been introduced for six (6) years and we do not plan on any in the future since there are no other breeders of this type of chicken. 2. Colorado Quality Hackles follows a very strict sanitation and disease control program: a. All birds are Mycoplasma and Salmonella free b. All birds are routinely blood tested for disease control c. All birds are on a vaccination program for the poultry diseases prevalent in Colorado d. All facilities are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and fumigated between each flock of chickens Please find enclosed our brochure that outlines our credentials.

Planning Commission Greeley, CO 80631 RE: Case Number USR-624:84:20 Dear Sir: We have reviewed the special use permit application by Clarence W. Rickman. We find no conflict with our interests provided erosion control measures are required. The soil in this area is Vona loamy sand which is highly susceptible to wind erosion. To prevent erosion the ground must not be left bare of cover. The vegetation is currently irrigated grasses. If irrigation is not to be continued, a drought tolerant grass must be established. All areas disturbed by construction activities must be reseeded to the appro- priate irrigated or non-irrigated grass species. Areas on which vegetation cannot be es- tablished, such as roadways, must be graveled or paved to prevent wind erosion.

( "Rick" ) and Florence Rickman who are applying to you to establish a business in Weld County involving the raising of chickens. We have lived on Old Apple Valley Road for 41 years and reside within a short distance from the location of the Rickman' s previous site for their business which has consisted for the past years of as many as 30 , 000 chickens. We have found them to always be very conscientious about the cleanliness of their establishment; it was a pleasure to be invited to view the chickens during various times in their 4-month stay. The manure was disposed of quickly and we found them to be constantly concerned about the possi- bility of odor which we never perceived as a problem. Rick and Florence have been excellent neighbors and interested school and community participants. They sponsored a boy' s softball team and spent hours work- _ ing with the youngsters. They are intelligent, hard- working, personable people who would be an asset to any group. We hope that you will consider their request in a positive response; we feel certain that you will b nefit from their business present in your County. S � n erely yours , r. and Mrs. �1ur�lee1`y M. Gates April 7, 1984 To Whom It May concern : We are acquainted with Clarence and Florence hickmen, and their pullet business in this area. They have improved the equipment, kept the area clean, and with as little odor as was possible. They are very desirable neighbors and business people. afra 7 /irk ? ut, dl\- Yfta,\QO)4cLAA4i d< _AAA a.r-c AO, otrrdi (A') AA G ZZ `a( 1 diet, 0_4944<33 dijAtitaAj 2uvjA )2+;s1,,,, a.

This proposal is a 30,000 bird poultry complex and will be in total compliance with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The president of our small company is Dr. Carey Quarles, Professor of Poultry Science, Colorado State University. The operation we wish to establish will have a greatly limited number of birds as opposed to a commerical egg laying complex, but will contribute to the poultry industry through our nutritional and genetic research to constantly improve our product. The product of this complex will be primarily hackles, (feathers) , as the name of the company implies, Colorado Quality Hack' s. ). This operation will be with in the scope of the turkey farms, dairy operations, feed lots, and egg production facilities common in this particular area and the figeneral agriculture format of Weld County. The operation of this proposed complex has a high management requirement. All birds will be housed, one to a cage in three of the house6and floor pens in the smaller buildings. The buildings will have eight foot walls and steel siding exactly like the existing structure now on the property, This proposal will not interfere with the large dairy operation across the street to the north, or the feedlot operation by the fence line directly to the east. It will not present anything objectonable to the eye, ear or nose of the home to the south of this 10 acre parcel. The property across the road to the west is an open, planted field. This operation will be limited to the ten acre tract and the buildings shown on the map. This company is highly successful now, both national.y and internationly, and we intend to keep the reputation it has for producing exceptional hackles, The business will be a continuing one, but the density of this complex will never increase because of the nature of our product. N/A r . This resolution is completely within the agricultural preferences of Weld County. The (((I small parcel, 10 acres, is already isolated from any producing farmland, The proposed buildings will be constructed with a minimum of excavating work and we will not disrupt the existing ground cover surrounding the structures. 3. This operation will not interfere with the present continuity in this area, There is no health or safety problem related to this business, and this proposed complex will undoubtably contribute to the county welfare tax wise. a. The primary function of this operation will be to grow male leghorn type chickens for the neck and saddle hackles. The hackles, ie feathers, are used to tye spurious flies for fly fishing. The company we will grow these chickens for, Colorado Quality Hackles, has been successfully marketing outstanding hackles worldwide, and now there is an immediate need for expansion to meet an ever increasing demand for this product. The nature of this particular enterprise, growing quality feather products, requires special precautions be taken to insure the undamaged, marketable hackles are protected during the maturing growth of the bird. Therefore, these birds will be placed in floor pens, in the smaller brood/grow houses at one day of age and at three months of age they will be transfered individualy to one of the larger cage unit buildings. They will remain in the cage house, one bird to a cage, for six months. At that time the birds are mature and ready to harvest. At that point in time the birds will be taken to the small existing building (40' X 60') , near the center of the property. At the rate of 1500 birds per day, they will be processed and the hackles removed. The carcasses will be disposed of daily. This skinning procedure will take place twice a year, in April and November. During lapses of the required cycle for the cage houses, we will grow broiler type chickens in the brood/grow buildings for a period of eight weeks. Those birds, the broilers, will be used for nutritional and genetic research for various interests within the poultry industry. The research portion of our operation will never be disease oriented because of the circumstances of our primary business. The breeding flocks for our company are insured for $1,000,000.00, and they are located in the Greeley and Fort Collins areas, b. The closest residentual structures would be th house directly east of the property, approximately 150' feet from the eastern property line, (a feedlot operation) . The house directly across the road to the north, approximately 200' from the northern property line, (a large dairy operation) . C. Aside from the initial construction crews, there would be only the manager and Mr. Rickman on the property the majority of the time, However, during the transfering period (three to four days) and the harvesting period, (six to seven days) there would he an additional. personnel of 10 to 12 people present during the daytime hours. These additional people would also be hired on a one day bais to house the baby chicks, d. None of the buying, selling, merchandising or marketing processes will take place at this location, Only the people necessary to the production of these birds will be allowed on this location and that will be the manager and Mr. Rickman 95% of the time. f. The maximum number of birds ever housed in the large cage unit houses will be 6000 birds each, because of the necessity of putting only one bird per cage. The cage set up of these houses will be a Tri-deck system in four rows. These houses will have the most advanced, custom cage system available; featuring nipple waters, automatic feed systems, and automatic manure removal. The maximum number for the small houses, brood/grow build- ings, will be 3000 birds, contained in pens built on the floor. Again a nipple water system will be used in the brooder houses to insure maximum dryness. of the manure and litter, Common numbers in an average pullet house for the egg industry would be 32,00, to 34,00 in a 40' x 200' cage house and caged there for approximately 20 weeks, The maximum number of birds housed in this entire complex would be 30,000 male birds, housed in seven different buildings and at various stages of deveiopement. g. This complex will consist of three large (40' X 370') automatic cage houses and four smaller (40' X .180') brood/grow houses with floor pens. The buildings. would al] be a pole barn type construction with steel siding on the outside and we will utilize steel siding on the inside also, The buildings will have eight foot walls and cement floors, The 40' X 60' building already existion on the property is of identical construction of the buildings we are proposing. The 14 ' X 72'' moblehome unit will be a two bedroom model for the manager and his wife. h. At the completion of this seven unit project, there would be a 14ton feedtruck d ' ivery of bulk feed once a week, and a large flatbed truck delivery of sacked feed once per month. These two large trucks would travel north from Denver on I-25 to Highway #66, east on Hwy#66 to Weld County Road #19, south on WCR#19 to Weld County Road #26. The property in this proposal is located at the southeastern corner of the intersection of Weld County Road #19 and Weld County Road #26. The other traffic involved would be a 3/4ton pickup with a dump box that would make a daily trip from the property with manure, and carcass removal every six months. The rest of the traffic would consist of small pickups, both Mr. Rickman' s and the manager's, in routine trips to town and other personal trips. i. The sewage facility is presently on the property in the form of a septic system with a 750 gallon capacity. The moblehome will be hooked up to that system. The manager and his wife have no children living at home with them. The skinning process requires a moderate clean up program because the birds are care- fully asphyxicated to effect a bloodless skinning procedure and insure a clean, quality hackle. The building presently on the property is hooked up to the septic sytem. j . There would not be any material stockpiled on this property at anytime. Extraordinary sanitary conditions are top priority concerns in an operation of this nature and any kind of accumulation of any material is absolutly prohibited. There would be bulk feed in the 8 ton feedbins for the feeding of the cage birds on a daily basis. There would be sacks of feed kept in the front end of the brood/grow houses that would be used in daily feeding of the floor pen birds. k. The manure from the large buildings will automaticly be augered out of the houses, daily into the 3/4ton pickup with a dumpbox and removed from the property daily. The chicken manure will be delivered to various predetermined places for use as an excellent fertilize• It has been our experience that the demand for chicken manure as fertilizer has always exceeded the available material, the major factor being that we have always strived for extremely dry manure conditions. The manure from these barns will be exceptionally dry because of the use of nipple waters throughout the facility and also the custon feed formula used for this particular chicken to insure an excellent hackle growth. The carcasses left from the skinning process will be transported the same day to the landfill site. 1. Time Table for Construction: 07 May, 1984 - 01 July, 1984 Construction will commence on the first two Brood/Grow Buildings (40' X 180'1 , on 07 May, 1984, and they must be complete and ready to house baby chicks on 01 July, 1984. 15 July, 1984 - 01 October, 1984 Construction will start on the first automatic cage house (40' X 370' ) , on 15 July, 1984, and will be complete and ready to house the above three month old chicks on 01 October, 1984. 01 April, 1985 - 01 July, 1985 Construction will begin on the second automatic cage house on 01 April, 1985. This building will be completed by O1,July, 1985. 01 May, 1986 - 01 July, 1986 Construction will proceed on the two smaller Brood/Grow buildings located in the south- western part of the property, The two units will be complete and ready to house chicks on 01 July, 1986. 01 April, 1987 - 01 July, 1987 Construction will commence on the final unit, an automatic cage house on 01 April, 1987 and will be complete on 01 July, 1987. 'n. We will plant trees, both shade and fruit varieties,along both fence lines to the west and north. We also plan to plant other trees on the property to complement the buildings. N/A a. We will have fire extinguishers in every building. The buildings will have steel siding both inside and on the outside to create a fire deferent, and there is adequate water on the property in case of a fire emergency. We, Rick and Florence Rickman, have been successfully involved in the poultry business since 1979. We operated a pullet house, (40' X 200' ) , and raised an average of 32,000 birds every six months during this period. Our mortality rate was extremely low , 2% - 5%, and the uniformity of our mature pullets was in the 85% - 90% range. These are very good statistics in the egg producing part of the poultry industry. We accomplished these factors, under highly adverse conditions at times, with a consistent and conscientious management approach. We are presently located in a rural residentual area, (due to rezoning, but able to operate under a legal nonconformity clause) , north- west of Lyons, Colorado, in Boulder County. We are, therefore, very concience of the disagreeable problems a chicken operation can cause in a populated area. We have always stressed cleanness and exceptional sanitary conditions, both for our own satisfaction and in consideration of our close neighbors. We did have mechanical or operational problems at times, as every business does, but we have never let a problem go unattended. The two times in these years of operation that we were visited by the Boulder County Health Department, we were given excellent reports by the Department employees. At the Lyons location we cleaned our barn of all manure twice a day and transported the manure from the property daily. At the mature end of the pullet growing cycle we had 4,000 lbs. of manure per day and it was removed from the property at the end of the daily cleaning period. The manure from this one house was far greater - because of the concentrated bird number - than will ever be present at this proposed new facility. We turned down numerous requests for our dry fertilizer because of limited material available. We were under contract to Wrightco Corporation, operating the round house egg production comples just north of Hudson, Colorado. We were also contracted to DeKalb Corporation of Hudson, Colorado, after Wrightco soldout their Colorado interest to Waughbaum Company. In January, of this year, Dr. Quarles contacted us about the possibility of growing birds for his company. He contacted us on the basis of our reputation for operating a clean, efficent business. We are very pleased and excited with the challenge and uniqueness of this proposed venture. We intend to carry on our established management policies in this new project. We have the experience and expertise to make this operation a model for poultry management and that is our endevor, to progress from the best pullet grower in the state to operate an outstanding, efficent and desirable poultry complex in Weld County. Our manager will be Mr. Ed Rickman. He has been actively involved in our operation and is throughly familar with poultry raising procedures. In addition he is well aquainted with the mechanical aspects of the automatic equipment we will be installing in the three large buildings. The owner, Mr. Rick Rickman, will be there on a daily basis and Ed Rickman and his wife, will establish residence in a moblehome on the property to insure a continuity of the operation. Both Rickmans will also be actively involved in in construction of this proposed complex. We honestly believe this operation will be an asset to Weld County and a desirable addition to the agricultural scope of the surrounding community. Due to the extremely brief time we had from the time we found this property, to the time we were required to present this proposal to the planning department, we were unable to include any desired documentation or written references.
