The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated March 28, 2003, and duly published April 3, 2003,
in the South Weld Sun, a public hearing was conducted to consider the request of Duke Energy
Field Services for a Site Specific Development Plan and Amended Use by Special Review Permit
#941 for a Mineral Resource Development Facility, including an Oil and Gas Support and Service
Facility (oil and gas processing) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Lee Morrison, Assistant
County Attorney, made this a matter of record. Kim Ogle, Department of Planning Services,
presented a brief summary of the proposal and entered the favorable recommendation of the
Planning Commission into the record as written. Mr. Ogle gave a brief description of the location
of the site and surrounding uses. He stated the primary access will be from Weld County Road 4
and the internal roads are surfaced with gravel and graded to prevent drainage problems. He
further stated 11 referral agencies reviewed this proposal, eight responded with comments that
have been addressed in the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards, and no
correspondence has been received from surrounding property owners. In response to
Commissioner Geile, Mr. Ogle stated the applicant will be unable to record the plat until any
outstanding Building Permits related to this site are resolved or closed. Responding to
Commissioner Masden, Mr. Ogle stated this site is one acre in size, and the amendment does not
expand the permit boundary, rather, it reflects the current uses and layout of the site.
Don Carroll, Department of Public Works, stated Weld County Road 4 is designated as a local
gravel road. A traffic study conducted in 2001 reported 83 vehicles in a 24-hour period on Weld
County Road 4 between Roads 13 and 15. He stated this is a non-manned site, with very little
truck traffic, and the applicant will utilize on-site parking rather than parking on the County road.

Pam Smith, Department of Public Health and Environment, stated Development Standard#9 can
be deleted since no employees will remain at the site.
Tim Clancy,Attorney with Witwer, Oldenburg, Barry,and Bedingfield, LLP,stated the applicant has
a number of sites in Weld County and has been in the process of upgrading the facilities, which
require amendments to the previous permits. Mr.Clancy stated he and the applicant have reviewed
and agree with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards as proposed and modified.
Jim Kirkpatrick, applicant representative, stated this is a compressor site which is used to get gas
into the system. In response to Commissioner Masden, Rusty Hopkin, applicant representative,
stated this is a small compressor facility producing an average of 4.5 million cubic feet per day
which is sent to the Fort Lupton site. He stated any liquid is stored and periodically hauled off the
site, and there is a launch/receiver station on the site. Mr. Hopkin further stated during the winter
the facility receives approximately 300 to 400 barrels per month. Responding to Commissioner
Geile, Mr. Clancy stated Building Permits were applied for to begin making the various upgrades,
which triggered the need to an amended Use by Special Review Permit. He stated the applicant
has been working to resolve any open permits as this process is completed and they prepare to
record the plat.
No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. In response to Chair Long, Mr. Clancy
stated he and his client have reviewed the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards as
