January 20 , 1984 Weld County Planning Commission 915 10th St . Greeley , Colorado 80631 To The Commission : Enclosed please find completed Special Review application submitted by Mile High Turkey Hatchery for land parcel Sec 19 T3N R64W 6th P .M. comprising of 560 acres more or less . Property is located on East side County Road 49 and North of County Road 30 . Our application is consistant with The Weld County Comprehensive Plan and qualifies as agricultural . It is our wish that we maintain in every way the agriculture classification . Our interest is to grow 50 ,000 to 100 ,000 turkey poults to maturity from slay one of age . The land is now in pasture and only a small portion would be required for building sites and the balance would remain as permanent grazing land . Location of buildings proposed will be in the center of the tract thereby allowing a buffer in excess of 100 feet to nearest road or other adjoining property . Hours of operation of this type of activity are normally limited to daylight hours only . Total number of employees is generally 4-6 on an operation of this type when running at full capacity . Maximum number of buildings which would be required would be 9 - 50 ' x 304 ' plus support buildings . 1 - machine storage and service and 2 residences . All stock to be confined to house area . Highway access to be provided in two locations to insure no crossover traffic between young and mature stock . No feed milling is proposed at this site at the present time . Weld County zoning ordinance Section 50 does not include these lands but all potential hazards will be considered . 711 South Bowen Street Longmont,Colorado S0501 Phone (303)776-7040 • p_ ✓ 4 By returning all of the unused land back to pasture and ,application of organic by product to these lands a good grass cover can be maintained . Many of the adjoining lands harbor horses , cattle , sheep , etc . which poses no health threat to turkeys and the reverse should be true . Septic systems where needed shall all be installed according to Weld County specifications . -- No No , stock piling of wastes is anticipated . The time schedule anticipated is 1 /3 completion by June 1 , 1984 and totally completed no later than 18 months later. 'Landscaping shall include reseeding to a suitable ,Y-yt adapted grass variety and topsoil re-applied where site prep ,necessitates . Fire protection consists of placing fire extin inc guishers at al,ldan danger g points . Most buildings will not be heated , therefore fire risks will be minimal . } When' this 'proposed Turkey Breeder replacement farm is completed it is the interest of Mile High Turkey Hatchery to use it continuous and indefinitely . 6 ,x, w ,: Trust this is the information you need and that you will '.act 'favaorably on this matter.

January 20 , 1984 Weld County Board of Commissioners Greeley , Colorado 80631 To The Board : Mile High Turkey Hatchery is a Colorado Corporation which originated as an -offshoot from some seventeen other turkey meat producing farms located in Weld and Boulder Counties Colorado . As an agricultural entity by nature and more specific a livestock feeder we purchase around 250 million pounds of grain annually . This represents mostly locally grown product whenever possible . Also all segments of this enterprise employs around two thousand people in these two counties . We feel that we contribute something to this areas economy and would like to expand our turkey breeder facilities . In effect we are not expanding the numbers grown but rather dis- persing them more . This area is well adapted to our type of activity because of the sandy nature of the soil and we do not draw heavily on precious water. It is hoped that you will look favorably on our request . �Sp tfully yo rharles Graznak , Breeder Mgr .

Closely spaced contour ditches or sprinklers can be used in irrigating close grown crops. Contour furrows or spinklers should be used for new crops. Application of barnyard manure and commercial fertilizer helps to main- tain good production. The potential native vegetation on this range site is dominated by sand bluestem, sand reedgrass, and blue rearm- Needle:uidthread, switchgrass, sideoats grama, :rid western wheatgrass are also prominent. Potential production ranges from 2,200 pounds per acre in favora- hlo years to I,stiff pounds in unfavorable years. As range condition deteriorates, the sand bluestem, sand reedgrass, :and switchgrass decrease and blue grama, sand dropseed, and sand sage increase. Annual weeds and grasses invade the site as range condition becomes poorer. Management of v ege LaLion on this soil should be based on taking half and leaving half of the total annual-produc- tion. Seeding is desirable if the range is in poor condition.

BOX 577 GREELEY, COLORADO -PHONE 353-3118 January 23 , 1984 Weld County Planning Commission Greeley,Colorado To the Comissioners , We at the R&R Well & Pump Inc.have been contracted by Mile High Turkey Hatchery Longmont, Colo.to drill a domestic water well on Sec . 19, T 2N, R 64W, for a proposed turkey g rowing farm. Mile High requested that we first drill a test well but in our professional opinion this is not ne- cessary considering there are already two producing wells on the property. We have been asked by our client Mile High Turkey Hatchery if we would attest to the fact that this particular property does have good water bearing possibilities . We are confident that this is the case .We base this opinion on the fact that we have drilled heavily in that area. We also have done extensive well servicing on this companies other turkey farms . They now have on file with the Division of Water Resources Sate of Colorado application for a domestic well permit for this location. We therefore recommend to the commision that the assurance of ample water supply on this tract is as good as any in t his county. Most respectfully, Glen Clement V. Pres .

The applicant has received well permit no. 27110-F allowing an annual appropriation of 11.3 acre-feet from the Laramie-Fox Hills based on 64.4 -acres of surface ownership. The above referenced well may be -a sufficient supply for this operation. The permit requires metering and sets a specific limitation on the annual appropriation and other factors. Since an adequate water supply is available, we can recommend approval. The application contains no information concerning the existing wells -on the property. These wells could not be used in the -proposed turkey operation unless the applicants obtain a well permit allowing such use. Sincerely, f . Flal p. Simpson, P.E.

We would like -to stress the importance of providing protection from wind erosion. The sandy tex- ture of the soils found on the property make them susceptible to soil ero- sion from wind. Disturbed areas should he protected during construction and should be re- seeded to permanent vegetation as soon as possible after construction is completed. We would recommend seeding species similar to those currently found on the property. Si-nce no specific reseeding plan was found in the application, we would recommend the following mix: Lovington Blue Grama .5 El ilia Sand Bluestem 2.0 Cheyenne Indian Grass .5 Vaughn Side Oats .75 3.75 #PLS/-Ac. We would recommend using a grass drill with depth bands for seeding. Seed should ±e planted between 1/2 to 1 inch deep. Recommended seeding dates 11;66'' would -be between October 15 an-d April 15. If the areas are fairly large in size, we would recommend applying approxi- mately 4000 pounds of straw or native hay mulch per acre. After the mulch is applied, it should be "crimped" or anchored into the soil . Mulch should be applied immedi-ately following the seeding operation. Seeded areas shouts' be protected from livestock until the stand is well es- tablished. We hope this information will Joie useful to you.
