USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW QUESTIONAIRE — HORIZON-VUE DAIRY
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 for an expansion of the existing dairy facility from 520 head of
cattle to 2000 head of cattle. The new construction will include new pens and free stalls for 1480
additional head of cattle and related stormwater containment structures.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 22.
This use is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan through the preservation,
enhancement and growth of agriculture. This facility is designed to protect prime farmland. The
facility supports commercial and industrial uses directly related to or dependent upon agriculture.
Efforts to preserve productive agricultural land include the maintenance, enhancement and growth of
a viable, profitable agricultural business. The site is not located within a flood hazard zone, geologic
hazard zone or airport overlay zone. The use is necessary in Weld County to preserve the
agricultural economic base historically attributed to the area. Typically, dairy operations generate
three times their gross sales into the local economy.
3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter 23
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 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 type 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 farming, cattle grazing, 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?
The property owners and owner's families, employees, maintenance workers, vendors,
feed and product suppliers, veterinarians, milk truck drivers, local and state milk quality
inspectors and regulatory personnel, local, in-state and out-of-state visitors will be using
this site.
b. How many employees are proposed to be employed at this site? Ten (10)
c. What are the hours of operation?
The facility will continue to operate 24 hours per day as it does presently. 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? New Milkbarn
Construction will include the addition of livestock pens, feed bunks, free stalls, an updated milk
parlor and associated stormwater containment structures.
e. What type and how many animals, if any, will be on this site?
Predominantly dairy cattle of various sizes and weight in total quantity not to exceed 2000 head
will occupy the site.
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 7-10/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? Galeton Volunteer Fire Department
h. What is the water source on the property? (Both domestic and irrigation) North Weld
County Water District provides water to this site.
What is the sewage disposal system on the property? (Existing and proposed). Existing
septic systems service the residences and a new proposed engineer-designed system
will be applied for and installed when the building permit for the milking parlor is applied
for and approved.
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.
Storm water drainage will be handled by two retention ponds; one pond on the south side and one on
the north. Retention ponds will be maintained and operated in accordance with the Colorado
Confined Animal Feeding Control Regulations. Water from these ponds will be used to irrigate farm
ground. Specific details regarding storm water 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.
Complete construction is expected to take 3 to 5 years once started. Construction start date and
speed of progress is economically dependent.
10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site.
Most of the manure produced at the facility is taken off site by area farmers for land application to
crops immediately after being removed from pen surfaces. Storm water and process wastewater will
be stored in 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 are collected and removed by BFI
Trash Services.
