USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW QUESTIONAIRE
The following questions are to be answered and submitted as part of the USR application. If a question does
not pertain to your use, please respond with "not applicable", with an explanation as to why the question is not
applicable.
1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property.
The proposed use of this property is a dairy. Related activities include milking dairy cows, raising replacement
stock and farming. Supporting infrastructure includes buildings and corrals for livestock husbandry, equipment
storage, maintenance facilities, an additional mobile home to be used as an accessory, and waste
management control structures. This proposal is for 2,675 cattle, additional corral areas, free stall barns, an
updated dairy parlor and additional stormwater containment.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan.
The use is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive plan through the preservation, enhancement and
growth of agriculture. A dairy has existed at the site since approximately 1976. The proposed facility is
located on prime farmland when irrigated. The facility will support commercial and industrial uses directly
related to or dependent upon agriculture. Efforts to preserve productive agriculture land include the
maintenance, enhancement and growth of a viable, profitable, agricultural business. The proposed site is not
located within a geologic hazard zone or airport overlay zone. The property use is necessary in Weld County
to preserve the agricultural economic base historically attributed to the area. The proposed use provides
approximately 20 agriculture jobs for Weld County residents. Typically, feedlot and dairy operations
contribute 2.5 times their gross sales into the local economy.
3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance and the
zone district in which it is located.
This proposal meets the intent of the agricultural zone district where the site is located. A livestock
confinement operation exceeding four(4) animal units per acre is permitted in the A (Agricultural) zone district
as a Use-by-Special Review. Public health safety and welfare are protected through adherence to applicable
county, state and federal regulations and requirements.
4. What types of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible
with surrounding land uses.
Agricultural uses surround this site. Uses consist of irrigated farming, cattle feeding, and hay production. This
proposal is compatible with the surrounding agricultural uses and the Weld County Comprehensive Plan.
5. Describe, in detail, the following:
a. How many people will use this site?
Approximately twenty (20) employees, the owner, sales representatives and supply delivery people.
b. How many employees are proposed to be employed at this site?
Approximately twenty (20) employees will work on site.
c. What are the hours of operation?
The facility will operate 24 hours per day. Equipment operations, trucks, farming activities and maintenance
activities other than emergencies will occur primarily during daylight hours.
d. What type and how many structures will be erected (built) on this site?
Corrals; Commodity Shed; Two (2) Silage Pits, Fifteen (15) Shade Structures; Four (4) Free Stall Barns; Two
(2) Stormwater Containment Structures, and an additional mobile home to be used for employee housing.
e. What type and how many animals, if any, will be on this site?
2,675 head of dairy cattle.
f. What kind (type, size, weight) of vehicles will access this site and how often?
Typical vehicles accessing this site include feed and hay delivery trucks and semi-tractors and trailers,
employee and owner vehicles, animal product vendors, and ag-related equipment. Operating equipment
includes typical farming equipment, tractors, loaders and attachments.
Semi-Tractor Milk Trucks 10-12/wk
Semi-Tractor Commodity Truck 10/wk
Commodity Farm Trucks 5/wk
Hay Trucks, Semi-Tractors daily during hay season
Silage—daily during silage cutting season
Rendering Truck—when needed.
g. Who will provide fire protection to the site?
Ault Fire Department
h. What is the water source on the property? (Both domestic and irrigation)
Public water issued by North Weld County Water District and well water.
What is the sewage disposal system on the property? (Existing and proposed).
The residences have septic systems as does the existing milk parlor.
j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of items will be stored?
Storage and warehousing are not proposed as the primary use of this site. Feedstuffs, livestock bedding,
manure, equipment parts and supplies typical of farming activities are stored on site.
6. Explain the proposed landscaping for the site. The landscaping shall be separately submitted as a
landscape plan map as part of the application submittal.
No additional landscaping is currently planned except as outlined in the Nuisance Management Plan.
7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special Review activity
occurs.
Reclamation procedures include compliance with applicable regulations such as the Colorado Confined Animal
Feeding Control Regulations to manage solid manure and stormwater runoff until all relative material is
adequately removed. Should the facility be permanently discontinued for use as a dairy, it would be marketed
under applicable county planning and zoning regulations to its greatest and best use.
8. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site.
Stormwater drainage will be handled by a system of six retention ponds,which will be maintained and
operated in accordance with the Colorado Confined Animal Feeding Control Regulations. Excess water from
these ponds will be used to irrigate farm ground. Specific details regarding stormwater management are
outlined in the Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan.
9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping is scheduled to
begin.
The construction is proposed to begin summer of 2001 with completion in spring or summer of 2003 as
finances allow.
10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site.
The manure produced is not normally stockpiled. It is normally hauled directly from the corrals to the fields. If
manure stockpiling should occur, it will be piled in an area that has runoff containment such as the north side
of the proposed new corrals near the silage pits or hay storage area. Stormwater and process wastewater will
be stored in the wastewater retention structures designed to meet State CAFO regulations. No hazardous
material storage is proposed for this site. Stormwater and wastewater will be periodically land applied at
agronomic rates. Details of the manure management system are outlined in the Comprehensive Nutrient
Management Plan. Debris and refuse will be collected and removed by BFI trash service.
