Re: Site Specific Development Plan and Amended Use by Special
Review Permit #1231 for a Livestock Confinement Operation
(dairy) and Animal Feeding Operation in the A Zone District
Weld County, State of Colorado
Dear Sirs:
As per the Referral Letter that I received, K. P. Kauffman Company, Inc. (KPK),
as mineral lessee, has been notified by Weld County of the proposed Site Specific
Development Plan and Amended Use by Special Review Permit #1231 for a Livestock
Confinement Operation (dairy) and Animal Feeding Operation in the A Zone District
(Surface Development). KPK's mineral estate within the subject property consist of
numerous oil and gas wells, tank batteries, flow lines, pipelines, recorded easements,
easements, access and other oil and gas leasehold fixtures. Also, KPK has the right to
drill additional wells on the property as per the legislation of the Colorado Oil and Gas
Conservation Commission. The proposed Surface Development will directly impact
KPK's existing and future oil and gas operations.
KPK requests assurance from Weld County that the proposed Surface
Development will not preclude KPK from drilling, operating, producing and other normal
activities for maintaining existing and future oil and gas lease operations. KPK objects to
the proposed Surface Development because of the damaging impact the Surface
Development will cause to KPK's real property rights and said oil and gas lease
operations. KPK requests any approval of the Surface Development be conditioned upon
KPK's reasonable use of the surface. Any approval of the Surface Development should
be conditioned upon an executed Surface Use Agreement (SUA) between KPK and Larry
and Margaret DeHaan (Developer).
As of the date of this letter, KPK has not formalized an SUA with the Developer.
In the absence of a SUA, the action of Weld County may impair the real property rights
cis /
K. P. KAUFFMAN COMPANY, INC.
and oil and gas leases rights of KPK. Also, approval of the Surface Development Final
Plat by Weld County may constitute regulatory takings of KPK's real property rights.
