MEMORANDUM
To: Sheri Lockman
From: Dave Tuttle ,
Date: February 9, 2004
Subject: USR-1462
The sheriff's office has only one concern with this Special Use Permit.
Oil and gas wells should be fenced off in order to mitigate the potential for tampering.
These facilities are known to create an attractive nuisance for young people. Tampering
not only creates a significant danger to safety but also has the potential of environmental
damage with extensive mitigation and clean-up costs.
The Sheriff's Office lacks the ability to absorb any additional service demand without the
resources recommended in the multi-year plan provided to the Board of County
Commissioners or as indicated by growth not considered at the time the plan was
developed. I have no other comments on this proposal.

COLORADO SUBJECT: USR-1462, Prima Oil and Gas
The Weld County Public Works has reviewed this proposal; this project falls primarily under the
purview of the Use by Special Review Standards, Weld County Code, Chapter 23, Article II,
Division 4, Section 23. Our comments and requirements are as follows:
COMMENTS:
Access: The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has jurisdiction over all accesses
to the state highways. Please contact Gloria Hice-Idler or Tess Jones at the Greeley office to
verify the access permit or for any additional requirements that may be needed to obtain or
upgrade the permit. (State Highway 257)
REQUIREMENTS:
Access Road: The access road to the oil and gas production facility (for oil and gas wells)
should be a graded and drained road to provide an all-weather access to the facility. Usually
the fire department requires at least a 20-foot width access road to accommodate emergency
vehicles. Verification from the property emergency response district is required that the
roadway width and access are adequate.
Storm Water Drainage: I am referring the storm water drainage to the Weld County Health
and Environment as it deals with oil and gas related facilities.

Subject: USR-1462—Prima Oil and Gas Company
Dear Ms. Lockman:
The Town of Windsor Planning Commission reviewed this referral at a special meeting of
February 25, 2004. The subject property is located within the Town's Growth Management
Area and is depicted as Parks, Open Space, Mineral Extraction and Floodplains; Light
Industrial; and Heavy Industrial on the Town's Land Use Plan map. The proposed drilling
of oil and gas wells is compatible with the industrial land use depictions and, while the
Windsor Comprehensive Plan states that the Parks, Open Space, Mineral Extraction and
Floodplains land use depiction provides for recreational uses and facilities, the impact on the
existing recreational facilities in the immediate vicinity should be minimal.
The applicant has been authorized by the Town to utilize the Town's road to the sewage
treatment plant during the drilling and on-going operation of the oil and gas wells. The
applicant is to restore the road to its original condition in the event that the applicant causes
any damage to the road.
Based upon the aforementioned information, the Town of Windsor Planning Commission
recommends approval of the Use by Special Review to the Weld County Department of
Planning Services subject to the following conditions:
(1) In the event that the applicant causes any damage to the Town's sewage treatment
plant road, the applicant shall restore the road to its original condition.
(2) All requirements of the Windsor-Severance Fire Protection District shall be
addressed to the District's satisfaction.
(3) The applicant shall provide information regarding the status of their discussions with
the Eastman Kodak Company regarding the proposed wells to Weld County.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposal.
