Regards, ('Ae 4, " Cleon V. Kimberling 6615 Weld County Road 84 Fort Collins, CO 80524 EXHIBIT 2003-0182 I c≥ #&i9 December 7, 2002 Board of County Commissioners Re: Case Number: MZ-614 Applicant: Timothy and Lisa Brough Request: Minor Subdivision Change of Zone from (A) Agriculture to (E) Estate for nine (9) residential lots Dear Board of Commissioners I have some concerns about the change to the Agriculture zoning of the mentioned property (Lot B or RE, being pail of the SW4 Section 6, T7N,R67W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado): 1. The lack of organized planning for development in an Agriculture Community. Over the years the Planning Commission and County Commissioners have approved a commercial cabinet manufacturing operation on the NE4 7/7/67 and an Estate of 4 lots on the same quarter section. Immediately across the intersection on the SW4 5/7/67 the planning commission and commissioners approved a special use permit for a 4,000 cow dairy. On section 8/7/67, immediately across the road south from the 4,000 cow dairy permit a number of Estate plots have been approved and developed. Immediately across the road to the west of the proposed Estates is an operational dairy milking 1,500 or more cows. From this pattern of development it appears there is no planning. Is this extreme diversity really compatible to the future of an agriculturally zoned community? 2. The Future of Food Supply. Weld County once boasted being the number one producer of food and produce in the country. Between 1992 and 1997 Agriculture land conversion in Colorado exceeded 270,000 acres annually with Weld County being in the top 4 counties in the state for land conversion. During the past 5 years this trend has accelerated. Currently we have no shortage of food as we import from Mexico, Central and South America, Europe, Asia, China and all over the globe. We have no assurance that these relationships will continue. Plus, we have no control over Food Safety and Quality Assurance as we do here in the US. Many farmers in the Imperial Valley of California have moved their operations into Mexico where there are no restrictions on herbicides or pesticides and no EPA regulations to protect the environment. Under our Free Trade Agreement these products come into the US with no control over Food Safety and Quality assurance that is imposed on US Agriculture producers. Is this conversion of our prime producing land wise or has our greed blinded us to worthy stewardship for future generations? 3. Water Resources. The conversion of agriculture water to domestic water has an enormous impact on agriculture. As this conversion continues there are fewer numbers of farms that must carry the burden of expense to deliver the water to agriculture land. The cost of delivery remains constant or increases and is divided among fewer agriculture users increasing the cost to the individual farmer. As a personal example, we irrigate from the North Poudre irrigation system. At one point this past summer we didn't have water as there are now too few agriculture users on our particular system to warrant running the ditch. In the near future with more agriculture land being converted to Estates the North Poudre system may not be able to justify maintaining a ditch forcing agriculture completely out of the community. The future of agriculture in Weld County and the impact this has on the future of our food source is your responsibility. Are you doing what is best for future generations by destroying highly productive food producing land? You are the ones making the calls. Regards, env/V- -t Cleon V.

Box 1584 rn Ft Collins, Colorado 80522 January 29, 2003 T Re: Pheasant Crest Estates Dear Kim, I will not be able to attend this week's Commissioners Hearing because of more urgent water matters associated with our company. Below are the conditions that our company would ask to be incorporated into this change of zone, if approved. Fencing Starting at the secondary fire access road on the west side of the property,the applicant should construct a 5 foot or greater woven wire fence no closer than 30 feet from the edge of the ditch. It should continue North to no closer than 30 feet from the edge of our main canal. Along this north side,this fence should not be placed on our property or within 30 feet of the edge, which ever is greater. There may be points along this northern property line in which WSSC does not own 30 feet from the edge, especially at the northwest corner. We would ask that the applicant grant and record an easement to WSSC that would give us no less than 30 feet in these cases where WSSC does not own 30 feet. At the Northeast corner of the subdivision, the fence should turn south and extend far enough to deter the residents from gaining access to our canal and roadway. There should be no gates in this fence. All posts used to support the fence should be metal, because they are permanent and not subject to fire damage. Painted metal"No Trespassing"signs should be securely fastened on the interior side of the fence so the residents can clearly read the signs. These signs should be replaced every five years. Irrigation Pipe across Canal This pipe clearly has not been used in along time. If the applicant does not state in the application that they intend to use irrigation water from this structure for the subdivision it should be removed. It is very old and in need of repair. It should not become the ditch company's problem to remove later on when it starts to fall into the canal. Tt may already be subject to abandonment. Fred Walker President EXHIBIT I-3 Cam #411/ BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS' SIGN POSTING CERTIFICATE THE LAST DAY TO POST THE SIGN IS JANUARY 27, 2003 THE SIGN SHALL BE POSTED ADJACENT TO AND VISIBLE FROM A PUBLICALLY MAINTAINED ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY. IN THE EVENT THE PROPERTY BEING CONSIDERED FOR A CHANGE OF ZONE IS NOT ADJACENT TO A PUBLICALLY MAINTAINED ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY, THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES SHALL POST ONE SIGN IN THE MOST PROMINENT PLACE ON THE PROPERTY AND POST A SECOND SIGN AT THE POINT AT WHICH THE DRIVEWAY (ACCESS DRIVE) INTERSECTS A PUBLICALLY MAINTAINED ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY. I, KIM OGLE, HEREBY CERTIFY UNDER PENALTIES OF PERJURY THAT THE SIGN WAS POSTED ON THE PROPERTY AT LEAST TEN DAYS BEFORE THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HEARING FOR MZ-614, A CHANGE OF ZONE FOR A NINE LOT MINOR SUBDIVISION IN THE AGRICULTURAL ZONE DISTRICT.
