Chris Gathman, Department of Planning Services. The Weld County Department of Planning Services, on behalf of the Weld County Department of Public Health, is requesting that AMUSR-1231 (DeHaan) be continued to the June 21, 2005 Planning Commission hearing. The Department of Public Health, in their memo dated April 11, 2005 requested additional information regarding the water supply and septic systems on the existing dairy. This memo was sent to the applicant's representative as well as the Department of Planning Services. A final Health Department referral was contingent upon the receipt and subsequent review of this information. The information was not received in a sufficient amount of time for the Health Department to review and supply referral comments to be included in the staff recommendation. Therefore, a continuance is requested to allow time for the Health Department to review this information and finalize their referral comments. As there was no one in the audience wishing to speak for or against AmUSR-1231, the Chair closed the public portion of the hearing and asked for discussion or a motion. Jim Rohn moved that Case AmUSR-1231, be continued to the June 21,2005 Planning Commission hearing. Bryant Gimlin seconded the motion. The Chair asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. Michael Miller, yes; Bryant Gimlin,yes; James Rohn,yes; Chad Auer,yes; Doug Ochsner,yes; Bruce Fitzgerald,yes; James Welch, yes; Tom Holton, yes. Motion carried unanimously.

The following items will be Heard: CASE NUMBER: USR-1504 APPLICANT: The Bluffs, John Villano &Josef Guetlein managers & Ray Edmiston owner of Aerial Sprayers, Inc PLANNER: Sheri Lockman LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Pt of the N2 Section 5, T2N, R66W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for an Airstrip and an Agricultural Service Establishment. More specifically, an airstrip for private use and for a crop dusting, and a spraying operation facility. The facility includes hangar, landing strip, fertilizer storage facilities, insecticide storage facilities, fuel storage facilities and offices accessory to the crop dusting or spraying operation in the A(Agricultural) Zone District LOCATION: South of and adjacent to CR 26; approximately%mile east of SH 85; west of and adjacent to CR 29 The Chair asked that the record show that Tom Holton was recusing himself from case USR-1504. Sheri Lockman, Department of Planning Services. The Bluffs,John Villano and Josef Guetlein managers,and Ray Edmiston,owner of Aerial Sprayers Inc.,have applied for a Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for an Airstrip and an Agricultural Service Establishment. More specifically, an airstrip for private use and for a crop dusting and spraying operation facility. The facility includes hangar, landing strip, fertilizer storage facilities, insecticide storage facilities,fuel storage facilities and offices accessory to the crop dusting or spraying operation in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. The sign announcing the Planning Commission hearing was posted May 6,2005 by Planning Commission staff. The site is located south of and adjacent to CR 26; approximately one half mile east of State Highway 85; west of and adjacent to CR 29 section line. The town of Platteville is approximately two miles northwest of the site. Surrounding properties are agricultural in nature with few homes in close proximity. Eleven referral agencies reviewed this case,nine responded favorably or included conditions that have been addressed through development standards and conditions of approval. Four letters have been received requesting denial of the operation. In addition, our office has received two letters in support of the proposal. The Weld County Department of Planning Services is recommending approval. The commission members have been handed copies of the additional letters, a pilot log, and the new referral from Weld County Department of Public Works. Staff has made two changes to our comments. The Department of Public Works is no longer requesting a Non-exclusive License Agreement for county road rights-of-way,therefore Condition of Approval 2.C has been deleted. We have also asked for evidence of approval from the FAA for the"Notice of Landing Area Proposal"which the applicant is required to apply for. That is Condition of Approval 2.B. The applicants are being represented by Lauren Light with AGPROfessionals. I will be happy to answer any questions the commission members may have. Lauren Light,AG & LANDPROfessionals, representing the applicant,4350 HWY 66, Longmont, CO 80504. Aerial Sprayers has been in operation in Weld County for over forty years. They are currently operating out of the Kugel-Strong Airport,which is adjacent and south of CR 32, east of CR 31. They are leasing the facility and would like to relocate in order to own their land and buildings. Mr. Edmiston would also like to utilize the airstrip as a private runway for friends and family. Crop dusting is a business which depends on the agricultural industry and as more farm land is converted to development, aerial spraying becomes more difficult. The FM requires all planes fly 500 feet above all structures.This site was chosen by the applicant as it is not located in a heavily populated area. The buildings and airstrip will be located about 2200 feet from CR 26. The proposed business will not have a noticeable impact on the area due to the limited number of existing homes in the vicinity. Adjacent properties are farm ground and have been serviced by Aerial Sprayers for several years. There will be one identification sign which will not exceed 16 square feet as allowed in the agricultural zone district. Water will be provided by a well and an individual septic system will provide sewer. When the Weld County Code was updated in 2002,it included the right to farm statement,located in Chapter 22,Appendix 22-E. The right to farm specifically calls out the use of pesticides and fertilizers on fields and the use of aerial spraying as off-site impacts that may occur in rural areas. The right to farm was established so that development would not force agricultural uses out of an area. The first sentence of the right to farm states, "Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States, ranking fifth in total market value of agricultural products sold." The chart provided in Appendix 22-D of Chanter 22 shows that agribusiness is the leader in income and jobs in the county. Aerial spraying is an important component in the agricultural community. There were three letters of opposition received from adjoining property owners. Mr. Edmiston personally contacted two of the parties. The Wilcher property is a recorded exemption lot with a home on it and is presently for sale. The exemption does include the right to farm on the plat. When the property is sold, the note will be on the title work as well as the plat so the new owners will know what kind of agricultural operations can occur in rural areas. Mr. Edmiston has met with Mr. Wilcher and his mother and has also given them a tour of his present facility. Mr. Jeff Boock also submitted a letter. His mother is a co-owner of the 320 acre parcel to the east of the airstrip location. Any development which occurs on their property will be 80 acre lots which are of sufficient size that homes wouldn't have to be located adjacent to the property line unless they wanted to build there. If recorded exemptions or subdivisions are done the plats will include the right to farm statement which notifies of the possibility of aerial spraying. Mr. Edmiston contacted Mr. Boock regarding his concerns, but no resolution was reached. The third letter was received yesterday from the Kunzmans, located adjacent and south of this facility. The Kunzmans have concerns regarding drainage, waste disposal, noise and wildlife. The development standards address many of their concerns. Mr. Edmiston met with Mr. Sakata, president of the Platteville Irrigating and Milling Company. Mr. Sakata expressed no concerns with the proposed facility. The chemical storage area at the existing facility is contained and the chemical storage area of the proposed area will be located 4500 feet from the ditch. Mr. Frank Bradford, inspector with the Colorado Department of Agriculture, is present and can speak to the issues of pesticide contamination if the board desires. Aerial Sprayers is a small business and the development standards limit the business to a maximum of five crop dusting planes. This is not a high intensity business and is compatible with the area. The closest existing home would be one half mile from the airstrip. Crop dusting currently occurs on the adjacent farms. Mr. Edmiston has spoken with two of the landowners who submitted letters of opposition. Letters in your packet from land owners near the current facility express no concern. Weld County has received no complaints regarding his past or current facilities. The Hermans,owners of farm land adjacent to the property also sent a letter of support. In summary: the pilot's log indicates that this is not a high intensity operation; personal planes average one take off a week;crop dusting planes fly only half the year;chemical storage must follow specific guidelines and is regulated by the state; the Colorado Department of Agriculture must approve the loading facility; the FAA has specific regulations that must be adhered to; United Agri-Products delivers and disposes of all chemicals and containers so there is no waste on site. Mr. Edmiston has been a good neighbor at his present location and affirms he will be at his new location as well. Michael Miller inquired about the commercial well and that it allowed only one third of an acre foot, 108,000 gallons annually and the consumptive use should not exceed ten per cent of the volume of ground water diverted. On the plan it indicates water storage tanks on the property. Are those 10,000 gallon water storage tanks for the mixing of chemicals prior to loading on the plane? Ms. Light replied that they do mix the chemicals with the water. Mr. Miller said he understood that the permit is for indoor use only. Ms. Light said that was correct. The applicant plans to get a commercial exempt permit first to haul in water and once the application is approved we will be going through the augmentation process with John Scott. The Chair opened the hearing up to public comment. Michael Weiss and Pamela Sheeley, reside at property northeast of the proposed facility. They are opposed to the application with respect to noise, chemical storage, livestock in the area, and the number of aircraft allowed under the proposed application. How can the commission approve more private than business aircraft? What is the overall use down the road? Crop dusting is one thing but a private airstrip next door is another and he felt that was in conflict with the zoning regulations for the area. Ms. Sheeley expressed her concern regarding the noise as she runs an equine rescue operation and is concerned about the aircraft spooking her horses. The Chair responded to Mr.Weiss by explaining that they encourage an applicant to apply for future needs, thus mitigating the need to amend the permit in the future. Kirk Wilcher, 14149 CR 26, Longmont, CO 80504, said he is not concerned with Mr. Edmiston's procedures for chemical storage, rather if this is the only business or will there be more business developed in the area and what this will do to his property values as he is trying to sell his home. Mr.Wilcher asked who regulates procedures and do they stay on top of this regarding training and knowledge of safety in chemical mixing? The Chair responded that this USR is specific to this business, but if the applicant were to start up anything else out there, they would be required to go through this process again. Steve Sewald, 17303 CR 13, Longmont,CO 80504,stated he farmed almost twenty five years at the Reynolds Cattle Farms located at CR 13 and CR 32. Mr.Sewald said Mr. Edmiston has had his runway on those farms for over twenty years and there has never been a problem with stampeding cattle, nor had there been a noise problem in the neighboring Grandview subdivision as far as he knew. Mr. Sewald closed by saying he fully supports Mr. Edmiston's application as he runs a clean operation, has been a super neighbor the past twenty years, has never had any chemical spills, and today's planes run so much quieter that noise should not be a problem either. Joe French, representing the surrounding property owners immediately to the east who own approximately 320 acres, asked if Gene Allen, 1120 Sherman Street, Longmont, CO 80504, land use consultant, could speak on behalf of three specific property owners to the east, whose property line is approximately 100 feet from this operation. Mr. Allen expressed concerns: regarding the required process that should have been completed by the applicant through the FAA;the application through water resources has not been completed; the environmental questions or requirements;anything having to do with drainage;disposal of used water. Mr. Allen said he felt that all of these issues should have been addressed prior to the application being heard by the Planning Commission. He expressed concern whether the Platteville Fire Department is adequately prepared to deliver emergency services for aircraft and/or fuel fires. Access should not be improved with public funds because of privately initiated business which impacts these facilities and does not recall seeing any solutions to these concerns in the application. Mr. Allen also expressed concern about the water augmentation plan, water source for mixing spray, disposal of water from cleanup of tanks, planes, etc. Where does it go after use? No mention of security for the site preventing terrorists access to the site; bald eagles nest in the area and what has been done to protect their habitat;aircraft as a 4:30 a.m. alarm for area residents; contamination of groundwater supplies. Mr.Allen ended by suggesting that the application was not complete enough for consideration by the Planning Commission. Mr. French addressed the same concerns Mr. Allen addressed and called this a "risk oriented operation." Mr. French summed up saying uses of the site have changed considerably since its inception, even though the applicants were encouraged to ask for future provisions so that they did not have to reapply at some point in time. The burden is on the applicant to show why this fits, why it doesn't change the area or impact the neighbors since this is a use by special review rather than a use by right. The Chair responded that the Gilcrest-Platteville Fire Departments were given the same referral packages and are well aware of the requirements of a facility like this. The eagles, in his opinion, should not be impacted by the activity in the area. Frank Bradford, 1335 South Keough Street, Watkins, CO, inspector for the Colorado Department of Agriculture, was asked by Mr. Edmiston to present information regarding the regulatory aspects of an aerial application business. There are two specific laws a business must follow, the Pesticide Applicators Act and the Agricultural Chemicals and Groundwater Protection Act, Senate Bill 90-126. If anyone has questions, please do not hesitate to contact me for information. The applicators act is responsible for ensuring that pesticides are applied in the legal manner according to the label and that there are very specific storage, training and record keeping requirements. The chemical and groundwater act ensures that groundwater is protected from agricultural chemicals. Businesses must have specific containment for fertilizers and pesticides in their state or engineer approved facility. Mixing and loading pads must contain larger than the tank capacity being mixed. Facilities must be impervious to liquid so the majority of them are concrete and/or steel. Regarding complaints, the Department of Agriculture will perform an inspection of a facility. Michael Miller asked Mr. Bradford if facilities of this type were regularly inspected each year. Mr. Bradford replied that they are, roughly three times each year. Mr. Miller asked if they were required to report any spills or accidents. Mr. Bradford said they are not. Mr. Miller then asked Mr. Bradford whether he has had the opportunity to inspect this particular facility. Mr. Bradford said that he had and found it to be in excellent condition and it exceeds the requirements of both the Pesticide Applicators Act and the Agricultural Chemicals and Groundwater Protection Act. Mr. Miller wondered if facilities of this type were regularly inspected and whether he had seen any facilities of this type that had catastrophic spills or failures which affected surrounding property owners. Mr. Bradford replied that in his eighteen plus years as an inspector he had seen only one in this area, and in that one instance all of the fertilizer had been captured. Bryant Gimlin asked Mr. Bradford if there was a release of pesticides, was there someone specific they need to report it to. Mr. Bradford said that to the best of his knowledge the Environmental Protection Agency would have jurisdiction. Mike Atencio, 14757 CR 26, Longmont, CO 80504. Mr. Atencio recently met Mr. Edmiston and did not think he would personally be affected by Mr. Edmiston's business. However, this morning he heard the noise of a plane before he saw it and it was flying very low over his house, though it was not a crop dusting plane. Mr. Atencio is opposed to this special use permit if this is what he has to look forward to. Mr. Edmiston, when contacted by Mr. Atencio, said he did not know whose plane it was. The Chair closed the public portion of the hearing. Mr. Edmiston, 5112 CR 32, Longmont, CO 80504, the applicant, stepped to the microphone to address concerns. Mr. Edmiston said that he owns two personal planes, that his hangar holds six, and that he has three spray planes for a total of five planes. He said he has no plans to own more aircraft as he can only fly one at a time. The Chair asked Mr. Edmiston if he had a problem with lowering the number of planes. He replied that he was merely taking the advice of the Planning Department which was to ask for more so the permit would not have to be amended in the future. The Chair asked if a maximum of six planes was agreeable. The Chair then inquired about disposal of waste water from aircraft washing. The applicant said they have rinse tanks built into the aircraft and the rinse water is then applied over the fields that were just sprayed. The EPA has determined that the water used in washing the bugs and dirt off the planes contains no hazardous material. They do not bring any pesticides or rinse water back to the facility after spraying. The Chair then inquired as to his plans for security. Mr. Edmiston replied they will all be in a locked hangar with a barbed wire fence surrounding the property. Access will be through a gate and he also has plans for a caretaker apartment at the facility. The Chair asked for clarification about landings and take-offs. The applicant said take-offs will be to the west and land back to the east with an altitude of 500 feet. Landings would only occur to the west on windy days. The Chair asked if all of his planes were turbine engine planes. The applicant said his crop dusting planes are turbine and are dramatically quieter than planes of the past and will be less noticeable than the jet traffic already in the area. James Rohn asked about the identity of the plane flying over the neighbor's house this morning. Mr. Edmiston replied it was not one of his planes and he did not know to whom it might belong. Ms. Light addressed the Planning Commissioners again and reiterated that the applicant would continue to pursue the water augmentation plan; chemical handling and containment would follow all state and federal regulations; storm water drainage was investigated by an independent engineer and because the facility is so small it will not affect off-site drainage; the planes are for the crop dusting business and personal use only; noise levels will be regulated by the health department in the development standards; impact to livestock should be very minimal; Mr. Edmiston is doing everything possible to insure that his proposed business will impact the surrounding property owners as little as possible. The Chair asked Ms. Light if the applicant had a problem with amending development standard seven to permit a total of six planes on site, rather than the eleven called for. She agreed with the amendment. The Chair then asked Planning staff to address their amendments. Ms. Lockman replied that they had already been taken care of. The Chair asked Don Carroll, Department of Public Works, about the adequacy of county roads for fire equipment and any improvements that would have to be made to the road to meet those standards. Mr. Carroll asked the Chair if he was referring to CR 26 or the section line access road. The Chair said he imagined the section line access road would be the applicant's responsibility. Mr. Carroll replied that he was correct. As the applicant indicated that additional traffic would be for only four employees, the Department of Public Works has no concerns or requests for additional improvements. CR 26 is open and maintained by the county at this time. The applicant does have the responsibility to improve the access road to meet the standards for the fire department; off-street parking, including the access drive shall be surfaced with gravel, asphalt, concrete or equivalent and shall be graded to prevent drainage problems. The Chair asked Char Davis, Weld County Health Department, if she had anything further to add. She did not. The Chair then asked for a motion. James Rohn motioned to amend development standard seven to read "a maximum of six airplanes total may be stored on site". The Chair asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision Michael Miller, yes; Bryant Gimlin, yes; James Rohn, yes; Chad Auer, yes; Doug Ochsner, yes; Bruce Fitzgerald, yes; James Welch, yes; Tom Holton, yes. Motion carried unanimously. James Welch inquired again about regulations regarding altitude minimums for aircraft. He also felt the application was compatible with the area and the county. The Chair responded that if the neighbors do have any concerns they need to get the identification numbers of the aircraft and then contact the FAA and they will review the complaint. In reference to concerns over the bald eagle habitat, Bryant Gimlin added that the Colorado Division of Wildlife expressed no undue concern in their referral. James Rohn agreed that the application was compatible with the area, as did Michael Miller who said he would not support it if the resident's concerns had not been mitigated. He also felt confident that the applicant would be responsive to any problems. James Welch said he had family that previously resided in the area and they had never expressed any problems or concerns with the applicant's facility. Ms. Light cited Conditions of Improvement 1-B, and expressed concern over written agreement of surrounding mineral owners and lessors. They had sent certified notification to those parties but had only received five letters from those owners. She is not sure they will be successful in contacting all of the owners. Development Standard 27 addresses mineral owner's rights to drill on the land and she asked for advice from Lee Morrison, County Attorney, regarding how to handle this issue, other than removing the condition. Mr. Morrison said a reasonable accommodation must be made for the mineral use. It may necessitate some evidence from experts whether wells are available to be drilled in current space that haven't been drilled, whether those wells are adequately accessed, and how they will be affected by the use proposed in the special use permit. It would be appropriate to add the alternative that they either present agreements or they present evidence of reasonable accommodation of the mineral interest right to access the minerals. Michael Miller asked if these were private mineral owners or small obscure companies? Ms. Light responded that some of them were larger companies. She can't answer why they got five letters back. Mr. Morrison suggested that she may want to check with the Oil & Gas Commission to see if some of these interests might have merged with other entities and they haven't recorded anything on this property that would lead you to that. Mr. Miller asked Ms. Light where she obtained the addresses. She responded they were from public records. Ms. Lockman said that eight of eleven sent back were from very well known companies. Mr. Morrison suggested that perhaps the addresses were no longer good and checking should be done with the Oil &Gas Commission, or the current operator signage posted on the wells, or the Oil & Gas Commission's GIS data base. Mr. Morrison suggested that Ms. Light provide some evidence as why they did not go to the right place and they need to be re-mailed with correct addresses. Ms. Lockman said 1.8 states that"the occupant shall submit evidence that the mineral owner's concerns have been addressed", so there is a little leniency in that, or should it be changed? Mr. Morrison pointed out that they have not shown any concerns, so the mineral interests have been reasonably accommodated. Ms. Light asked to add "prior to recording"? Ms. Lockman said it takes approximately 45 days for the BOCC hearing and she has no control over that. Ms. Light asked that Development Standard 23 read that specific times changed "to daylight hours only", due to daylight savings and that spraying for mosquitoes must be done at dusk so as not to kill bees. Bryant Gimlin moved that Development Standard 23 be changed to say"plane take-offs and landings are limited to daylight hours, seven days a week". James Rohn seconded. The Chair asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. James Welch, yes; Michael Miller, yes; Bryant Gimlin, yes; James Rohn, yes; Chad Auer, yes; Doug Ochsner, yes; Bruce Fitzgerald, yes, Tom Holton, yes. Motion carried unanimously. Bryant Gimlin moved that Development Standard 1.8, page 3, be amended to read "The applicant shall submit evidence that the mineral owner's and operator's interests have been reasonably accommodated". James Rohn seconded. The Chair asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. James Welch, yes; Michael Miller, yes; Bryant Gimlin, yes; James Rohn, yes; Chad Auer, yes; Doug Ochsner, yes; Bruce Fitzgerald, yes, Tom Holton, yes. Motion carried unanimously. The Chair asked Ms. Light if she had heard the Development Standards and Conditions of Improvement as amended and is in agreement with them. She replied that she was. James Rohn moved that Case USR-1504, be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with the Planning Commission's recommendation of approval, including the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards as amended. Chad Auer seconded the motion. The Chair asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. James Welch, yes; Michael Miller, yes; Bryant Gimlin, yes; James Rohn, yes; Chad Auer, yes; Doug Ochsner, yes; Bruce Fitzgerald, yes, Tom Holton, yes. Motion carried unanimously.
