COLORADO FROM: Jacqueline Hatch, Planner
SUBJECT: Special Assembly Permit
The Department of Planning Services has received the attached letters regarding a USR
application. Many of the letters refer to a Special Assembly Permit that was granted by the
Board of County Commissioners on July 14, 2003 to benefit the Ronald McDonald House.

RE: USR-1439
Dear Jacqueline Hatch,
My property adjoins the proposed development on the south. I want to express my strong
opposition to this proposal. It is unimaginable how a development of this magnitude
could even be proposed or considered on Ag zoned land.
My family has lived in Weld County since before 1885 when my Grandfather was born
here. My husband and I purchased and built at this location, 16882 WCR 1, knowing that
the surrounding land was zoned Ag and thinking that the zoning would not allow
commercial developments such as banquet halls or other establishments that served food
ana alcohol.
I never received any notice, which I am now told was mailed to me. Finally after finding
out Mead had been notified I was able to pick up a copy from them. I wish to express my
views concerning the answers on the USR questionnaire.
USR Questionnaire
L Commercial development, such as the one proposed, does not belong on Ag zoned
land and should require a zone change, which I would oppose.
2. The majority of the surrounding properties are not equestrian influenced properties.
The land north is pasture,the land east is farm land for miles. My land to the south is
pasture land for cattle. Only some of the land west in Boulder County could be
considered equestrian influenced. It would be impossible to blend in a 30,000 square
foot event center, plus rodeo grounds for 500, plus 1180 parking spaces into the
surrounding community. Period. Let alone do it without infringing on the "country
living"atmosphere.
3. It's great the buildings would be constructed to the building code, but they also need
the proper zoning.
4. The property to the south, my 75 acres, is not an equestrian type lot. Even the
property to the south of me "Summit View Estates"has only one or two horse
properties that are used to keep two or three horses. The rest are upscale county
homes.
5. (a) County Line Road is already inadequate to handle the large volume of traffic it
now has. It is fast becoming congested with the commuter traffic between
Longmont, Berthoud, Loveland and other points north and south, barley trucks to
Coors Elevator, the farm trucks and other slow moving farm machinery, and the
large number of gravel trucks that use it every day. Can any one imagine 1,500
more auto and horse trailers plus delivery trucks and vans converging on the
property at the same time?
(b)Also food service would have to be brought in, according to the application, and
the help to serve,all additional traffic.
(c) The use of the rodeo grounds during the summer, causing dust pollution, light
pollution, and noise pollution, could not help but interfere with the rural country
atmosphere.
(d) Portable toilets for this number?
(e) I would think it would be impossible to have a rodeo with only 20 animals. It
takes 2 animals each time a calf is roped, 3 animals each time a steer is bulldogged
say nothing of the bucking events and whatever else is planned Unless they are
going to use the same poor animal over and over again. I thought this was against
all rodeo rules, as it is considered animal cruelty. The animal right activists are
against all rodeos. With all the expense for construction of the rodeo facilities and
the paved parking for 1,000 spectators and participants it is hard to believe there
will be only 20 animals. The 5 acres of pasture(showing on the site plan)would
be trampled to blow dust in no time with a lot less than 20 animals.
(f) Proof of the traffic.
(g) Who will furnish the on site ambulance required by most rodeos in case of injury?
(h) How large of water tap will be required?
(i) What health department would possibly approve a septic system to handle 1,000
people?
(j) Means more traffic.
6. It is impossible for a few trees and shrubs to control the erosion caused by anything of
this magnitude. I suppose the disturbed land will be re-vegetated like it was after the
July event. This was 0. The dust is still blowing.
7. T -is question was applicable for the Special Review Activity held on this same
property in Jul). No reclamation was ever done for the -use by special review"
permit that was granted for the July event hell across the fence from my property.
The trash cans, black plastic sacks, blowing dust and thousands of feet of bright
orange fencing are still there. I thought they were to be removed when the event was
over.
8. Have you ever smelled the stench from an animal holding pond?
9. Construction work! What dust mitigation will be required for this stage of
development? Who will enforce it?
10. Who will see to it that the people using the facility put their trash in the dumpsters in
the first place? Or will it be like the July event when the neighbors were expected to
pick it up late? I'm a widow and past 70. Once to pickup their trash was enough for
me. I could let it blow on to the next neighbor, I guess, except for the beer bottles and
cans.
Sincerely,
Margaret Russell

Re: Use by Special Review Application
Jesse Rodriguez Property on Weld County Rd. 1
To Whom It May Concern:
We are writing to voice our opposition to the proposed Events Center, Banquet Hall, and
Outdoor Facilities to host Equestrian Events at the above mentioned property. It is our
opinion these activities are not conducive nor compatible with the current agricultural
land use. We feel the requested uses appear more "commercial" and do not belong in an
area that is totally"agricultural."
Mr. Rodriguez has established a poor track record with his recent "Festival." My
husband contacted Kim Ogle of the county Planning office regarding questions about the
- —festival. Mr. Ogle left a message on my answering machine and stated...they had a
permit for the festival, and the area was to be left "clean as a whistle." As of this date,
the land is still littered with trash. If Mr. Rodriguez cannot comply with a one time
permit, how can anyone expect him to honor the terms and conditions of a Special Use
Permit?
�p Also, there was alcohol served at the "Festival." My neighbor said he was behind
d� someone who had pulled out of the festival, and followed them for 3 miles while they
were weaving on the road. Is the Weld County Sheriff's Dept. staffed to handle the
added burden this will place on them? Are all other agencies prepared for a facility of
this type?
Weld County Rd. 1 is a 2 lane road that is already heavily traveled. Is the county
prepared to widen and improve the road to handle the additional traffic this facility will
generate?
We hope you give this application careful consideration. This certainly does not appear
to be an appropriate use for this land.

RE: USR-1439
Dear Ms. Hatch,
My husband and I own property on weld county road 3, which is about 1 mile away from
the proposed event center and rodeo facility.
We are very much opposed to this facility. This area is mainly used for farming with a lot
of slow moving tractors and trucks. The traffic impact on county line road 1 would be
horrendous. Where county road 34 and I meet is at the top of a little hill which is hard
enough to see traffic coming. Where county road 36 and 1 meet is at the bottom of a
little hill and again hard to see coming traffic.
The event that was held on this property in July was very loud. I could hear everything
that was going on standing outside my house. I have driven by there since the event and
was surprised to see all the trash, trash cans, and fencing that was still up. I was told that
the property was to be reclaimed. Does that mean that they have to take out the entire
rock base hauled in for the parking lot?
I was also informed that they plan on having no more than 20 animals at a time at the
rodeo. If this is true why build 960 stalls? There is already a fair grounds and rodeo
arena in Longmont. I don't want one in my neighborhood.
Thank you for taking into consideration the peace and quite that the neighbors of this
proposed rodeo ground now enjoy.

To the Planner on call:
I would like to address two issues that are occurring east of CR 1 in Weld County.
The first is an application for a varience from agricultural status to have a banquet hall and
equestrian center east of CR 1 and north of CR 34. There was a party held there the weekend
of July 19-20 and although I was not home at the time to assess the situation (noise), my
neighbors called me because of their concern about the traffic. Cars were backed up almost to
Rte 66 and many cars were parked on the side of the road, especially on the hill which makes
for a dangerous situation. The aftermath of the party that I see every time I drive by is a field
littered with cans, bottles, paper and plastic.
The second concern is the remote control airport east of CR 1 and north of CR 36. People
move out to the country for the peace, quiet and lack of traffic. With these planes flying
around, there is a constant annoying droning whenever I am out of doors.
I hope my concerns will be considered at the hearings for these two issues. Thank you.

Dear Ms. Hatch:
Re: USR-1439
The Town of Mead formally objects to the application for a Site Specific Development Plan and
Special Review Permit for an events center, banquet hall, and outdoor facilities to hold
equestrian events on the Jesse Rodriguez property. The Town's specific objections are as
follows:
1. This is an inappropriate land use for this location. This is a commercial operation, and
the scale of it is out of character with the surroundings. This is the equivalent of re-
zoning the property without in fact re-zoning it. There is no current justification for a
commercial use at this intersection.
2. The traffic impact of this proposed use on the existing road network is significant,
particularly peak flows associated with special events types of uses, and the road network
cannot handle such.
3. This type of use would generate significant noise and it is our understanding that the
County has little, if any, noise regulations. The hours of operation until midnight would
substantially impair the quality of life of its residential neighbors.
4. There would be a substantial negative effect on fire protection and general public health
and safety.
5. There is no local benefit to this proposed use. It appears to be designed to bring in people
from as far away as Denver for mainly the benefit of a radio station and its audience.
Such types of facilities should be located on major arterials with easy access to an urban
or suburban area, and not placed in a rural location.
,' 6. The site had a special equestrian event the weekend of July 19-20 under some form of
special permit issued by the County, which detrimentally affected adjacent neighbors,
from noise to traffic, without any consideration for their well-being. The site was
degraded as well, and over a week later there remains trash, temporary fencing pieces,
and othe- remnants of activity on the site which shows no regard for the neighbors and no
effort to properly clean up. The County either did not impose proper co.idi,ions on the
use or did not follow-up with clean-up and policing oversight, or some combination
thereof. The Town is therefore opposed to the issuance of any more special events
permits for this site without adequate regulation.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Hatch,
My name is Fred Wilson. My father William and I own 98 acres of property less than a
mile from the proposed"events center" and we would like to express our opposition to
the proposed special use permit.
Our family has lived on this property for 27 years and we have made a variety of
sacrifices to establish and maintain a quality of life that is important to us personally, as
well as from a property value perspective. The proposed facility is located in an area with
over 20 current home owners who have made significant investments in their property
based on the solitude and natural beauty of the surrounding area. This facility will erode
_. _ that investment due its appearance, the traffic hazards and the noise that it will generate.
Consider the following factors before rejecting this proposal;
1) Traffic. A facility of this size will generate a huge quantity of new traffic in the
area with the associated noise, driving hazards and air pollution. The facility is
planned for a stretch of road with blind hills at both ends, no turn-out lanes and no
traffic signal. This will create a hazardous and inconvenient situation for those
who depend on this road for access on a daily basis. It should also be noted that at
a"special event"hosted at this location on July 19a' and 20a'there was a large
beer vending operation and one can only assume that of the over 1000 attendees
there were intoxicated drivers leaving the facility. This is a real risk associated
with the proposed"Events Center"(even if there is no alcohol served at events it is
reasonable to assume that attendees will bring their own alcohol and that once
inebriated will pose a risk to home owners and drivers in the area).
2) Noise pollution. This facility is planned for an area of Weld County that has very
little protection for existing residents in the way of noise ordinances. It is my
understanding that"outdoor equestrian facility" is for the purpose of hosting
rodeos and other events that are typically accompanied by large scale crowd noise
and outdoor public address systems. In an area such as this, sound carries very
well and this noise will negatively impact neighbors for miles around the facility.
3) Appearance. This proposal calls for a variety of efforts that will `blend the events
center and its acreage with the surrounding community, without infringing on the
`country living' atmosphere enjm°ed by the local residents...' We believe that
the intent of this owner can be bait judged by his actions than the unrealistic
statements made in this proposal. If you have not taken the opnor tunity to view
the site recently then please make the drive. You will see the remnants of the
previous"special event"held at this location on the 19th and 20th of July. As of
this writing(24 days following the party)the site is still littered with beer cans,
bags of garbage, hanging banners and orange plastic"snow fence"that was used
for crowd control at the event(see enclosed prints). We can only assume that this
new facility will be maintained with the same lack of rigor that the property
owner has demonstrated in the past.
We believe that this special use permit application is simply an attempt by Jessie
Rodriguez to"fly under the radar"and create an entirely commercial facility in an
agriculturally zoned area. The activities planned for this facility would be more
appropriate if hosted at a county fairgrounds facility with adequate infrastructure to
protect the public safety and quality of life. At a meeting of the Mead City Council
earlier this month it was made clear that Mead has no desire to adopt the responsibility
for emergency services and police protection for this facility and their opposition to this
permit was to be submitted to Weld County in writing following the meeting. We are not
opposed to reasonable growth and development as long as it is aligned with the values of
the existing community. This proposed facility is completely incompatible with the area
and granting this permit will significantly damage the existing property owners. Please
consider all these factors and deny the special use permit for this facility. Thank you
for your consideration
Sincerely

Re: Case #: USR-1439 Special Events Rodeo and Banquet Hall: Application of Jesse
Rodriguez c/o Anderson Construction
Dear Ms. Hatch,
..... ._...My name is Vance W. Diggins, and I own 85 acres approximately one mile from the
proposed venue. I would like to express my extreme disapproval of the plan under
review for the upcoming September 16`x'meeting.
For your benefit- I am outlinning some of the more significant concerns that I have that
will hopefully be factored into the county's consideration to unilaterally reject this
proposal.
■ Intent: The proposed special events center is not an aligned with the interest of
the surrounding homesteads, and agricultural community.
Establishment of this Rodeo Events Center is an extreme infringement upon the
country living and atmosphere that claims it is attempting to protect. As you
know,that section of county line road 1 is one of the most idyllic and picturesque
sections of Weld and Boulder County. Many of the residents have lived and
farmed this section of the county for decades. Mentioning that this initiative is
similar to the surrounding equestrian and home sites is beyond laughable!
• Traffic: The proposal calls for 1,500 people seating. (Indoors/outdoors) This will
turn the county line road into an events center on a par with the pre-existing
county fairgrounds in Longmont. An incredible volume of cars and trailers will
choke the throughput of that section of county line road. (It was only a gravel road
8+years ago) The proposed area is off a simple country road that cannot stand
970 532-0744 • www.paragonequestrian.com
to kind of infrastructure requirements that a public events. rodeo center would
rc 4ulre.• "Trojan Horse venue": The entire project appears to try and establish a toehold
to a get a baseline approval from the county. Weddings, birthday parties, and bar
mitzvahs are window dressing to something that could easily take on a Frontier
Days look and feel similar to the events sponsored in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
• Surrounding Properties: The proposal offers 30-74 acres of buffer to protect the
natural habitat and communities in the area. The kind of buffer this center needs
would require much further isolation and impact studies than the fragile county
line road could provide. Noise and dust would problematic day one. The road
system would have to be radically redesigned to enable safe entry/exit. Most
likely, a traffic light would have to be installed. Lack of irrigation would
complicate the planning requirement. Massive landscaping would be mandatory
to buffer unsightly mass parking and large outbuildings required.
In summary, I sincerely believe this initiative will significantly devalue the homes and
properties in this area. The quality of life in Weld and Boulder County along County
Line Road 1 will seriously depreciate. The illusion in the proposal of soft impact and
harmony to the local property owners is an insult to the intelligence of those that have
worked very hard to protect and build value to their properties.
Serious consideration of Case#USR- 1439 would be unconscionable and violently
opposed by my family.
Sincerely,
"

Re: Case Number USR-1439
Permit for Events Center
We are very opposed to the Development of this property for an Events Center.
This is an Agricultural Zone, not Commercial. It would destroy the value of all the
property in this area which has, up to this time, been developed for agriculture and
upscale homes.
If an Events Center, including indoor and outdoor facilities, is allowed, there will be
public address systems, lots of noise, traffic and trash, as evidenced by what happened
when a one time event was approved a couple of weeks ago on this property. In addition
__to,excessive noise and traffic, the trash has still not been totally cleaned up.
We feel this would no doubt ruin the quality of life of all who have bought their property
in this area in good faith, trusting the zoning restrictions would be upheld due to the
credibility of Weld County. We all built homes in the country in order to get away from
the noise and traffic and trash. And, at the same time, the approval of this type of use of
the property would also make all the homes around this Events Center impossible to sell
with any value.
Please consider these points before you approve destroying a nice, beautiful area.

Re: To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to congratulate you on your successful anniversary celebration ,We had a lot of good
compliments about your event. I Alex Orozco of Orozco security, did have a couple of complaints from a
few of my guards, They were a little concerned about a few of the motorists that were passing by yelling
out racial slurs and their vulgar gestures.
Other then that it was perfect down to the right amount of port-a-potties and parking. I believed
that everyone who came out had a very pleasant time with out any incident. Further more in my opinion the
celebration was very well though out and planed.
In the future please feel free to call on me agin, it was nice working with you.
