Our comments and requirements are as follows: COMMENTS: WCR 17 is designated on the Southwest Study Area Capacity Improvement Needs as a local gravel road, which requires a 60-foot right-of-way at full build out. There is presently a 60-foot right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County. Pursuant to the definition of SETBACK in the Weld County Code, Chapter 23, Article III, Section 23-3-50, the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line. Our most current average daily traffic count (ADT) reflects 93 vehicles taken in a 24-hour period at the south end of the dairy, and 32 vehicles at the north end of the dairy. We also counted the main entrance to the dairy. This count reflected 62 vehicles in a 24-hour period. Existing Access: There is one main access from WCR 17 which accesses structures, pins, feeding alleys, and the milking parlor. The applicant is not indicating any additional points. REQUIREMENTS: Road/Right-of-Way: The applicant shall place on the plat WCR 17 and the right-of-way. No landscaping shall be allowed within Weld County's rights-of-way. Circulation: All feed alleyways, including the approach road shall be surfaced with gravel, and shall be graded to prevent drainage problems. Off-Street Parking: No off-street parking adjacent to WCR 17 shall be allowed. Utilize on site parking only. Storm Water Drainage: Busker Dairy will control storm water on the west side of the Stanley Ditch with a series of four retention ponds; three already exist, and adding one on the south side. The east side will be controlled with a new pond constructed in the northeast corner of the property. This dairy will meet the state CAFO regulations. As the site deals with animal units, I am referring the storm water drainage requirement to the Department of Health and Environment.

In addition, I have discussed the application with the owner and have made previous site inspections at this property. This plan calls for the expansion of the existing dairy, including construction of new corrals, expansion of the existing milking parlor, and the addition of two accessory dwellings. Construction of two new process/storm water retention facilities are also planned. There appears to be adequate evidence in the plan that the dairy will be in compliance with the State's Confined Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) Regulations. Also, the comprehensive plan to address nuisance issues such as flies, dust, and odor, utilizes industry recognized and accepted management practices. The plan calls for up to 15 employees, which is well within industry standards for a dairy of this size. Together with the existing accessory dwellings, the request for two additional accessory dwellings is appropriate for a workforce this size. Weld County Extension has no objection to this proposal. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, r "14, Keith R.
