Arrested Oil Field Services' base for operations is located at 10084 Weld County Road 28. Arrested has three employees not counting the sole proprietor, Mark Brown, or myself, the business manager. I work out of my home office in Nebraska. Our hours of operation vary, but for the most part are during daylight hours. We use Mark's residence, a rental property, as the base for operations where everyone reports in the morning before work and where vehicles are parked during non-business hours. The home itself serves as the office for Mark and only in times of need as a restroom for employees. All materials and equipment are stored in the vehicles. Customers do not visit the site. The only advertising on the site is the stickers on the vehicles as mandated by the Department of Transportation. There are two gravel trucks, backhoe, trailer, two-ton ford truck, and two pick-ups parked on the site during non- business hours that are company vehicles. The vehicles are parked neatly on the backside of the property and are only adjacent to properties which are agricultural and do not have any homes or residents. The site has a couple of buildings, which are not used for the business. There are no offensive noises, vibrations, smoke, dust, odors, heat, glare or electrical interference or other hazard or nuisance noticeable outside of the home of the business or off the lot. 2. The Comprehensive Plan is intended to guide the coordinated and harmonious development of Weld County. The USR will allow Arrested Oil Field Services to use 10084 WCR 28 as its home base for work performed in the oil field industry which is vital to the economy of Weld County. One goal of the Comprehensive Plan is to meet the needs of a developing county which includes protecting the community's health, safety, and welfare—vital components of private property rights. This is a goal shared by Arrested Oil Field Services as stated in our mission statement. We strive to provide the highest quality of service and value, in a timely fashion, while maintaining safety as our number one priority. We strive to achieve success for the entire oil and gas industry and its supporting companies and communities. Our commitment to our mission is apparent in our daily activities and is the key to the success of our company. 3. The property is zoned agricultural. The nature of the business is consistent with that as we operate throughout the agricultural community located in Weld County. The equipment located on the site is very similar to the equipment that would be found on a typical farm. The equipment is kept clean and is professionally maintained. 4. The general nature of our business isn't exactly agricultural, but does appear to be so. The equipment that is parked on the property is similar to the equipment you would find on the adjacent farm properties. The equipment is completely noninvasive and does not require any changes to the property. The home office also is compatible with the current house and required no changes to be made to the residence. 5. a. On a full-time basis,just Mark Brown resides on the property. b. Four employees report to the property as stated in#1. c. Hours of operation vary, but are typically during daylight hours. d. No structures will be erected on the site. e. The property is the home to Mark's pets, a dog and cat. f. The site will be accessed by two gravel trucks, backhoe, trailer, two-ton ford truck, two pick-ups, and possible other similar equipment. In a typical day, the equipment leaves the site at the beginning of the work day and returns at the end of the work day. g. Fire protection will be provided by Platteville Fire Protection District. Page 2 h. The water sources are Domestic Well Permit#227381A, Irrigation Well Permit#20844 plus 80 shares of Lupton Meadows Ditch Company. i. The sewage disposal system on the property is septic system permit #SE-0300124. j. We have no plans to build storage or warehousing structures on the property as we have no need for items to be stored. 6. We are not proposing to change the landscaping of the property. It will remain a residence for all common purposes, with the exception being vehicles and equipment being parked on the property. The only issue keeping us from qualifying for the Home Occupation is that we have more than one vehicle parked on the property. We are not developing the property or building any additional structures. 7. If the business is ever to be terminated, the property will continue to serve as the resident for Mark Brown. We would simply liquidate our assets of the company. 8. The land has a nice slope to the North and slightly more slope to the East. The land was leveled to improve flood irrigation in the early1950s. The storm water drainage will go the same way it has always gone North and mostly East it never seems to flow off the site, in an extreme event it would flow into a native grass area an then into the Beeman Ditch at the East edge of the site. 9. There will be no construction on the site. 10. There will be no construction wastes. Any waste associated with the business is put in our dumpsters which we have picked up weekly by B&C Refuse.
