The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated March 16,2001,and duly published March 21,2001,
in the Tri-Town Farmer and Miner,a public hearing was conducted to consider the request of Reva
Barrett for a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit #1310 for an
Agricultural Service Establishment (equine facility) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Lee
Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record. Lauren Light, Department of
Planning Services, presented a brief summary of the proposal and entered the favorable
recommendation of the Planning Commission into the record as written. Ms. Light gave a brief
description of the location of the site, and stated the applicant has changed the request from six
mobile homes down to four. She explained that due to the intensity of the use, staff felt it was more
appropriate for the applicant to go through the Use by Special Review process, rather than apply
for four separate Accessory to the Farm permits. Ms. Light stated the Use by Special Review
process was initiated as a result of a violation on the site, which will be resolved once this permit
is approved. She stated there are indoor/outdoor riding arenas, various outbuildings, and a single
family dwelling on the property,and she gave a brief description of the surrounding uses. Ms. Light
stated four referral agencies did not respond,five offered comments,two responded with concerns,
and two surrounding property owners submitted letters of concern. She stated the Conditions of
Approval and Development Standards should address or mitigate any concerns. In response to
Commissioner Vaad, Ms. Light stated the surrounding property owners who submitted letters were
at the Planning Commission hearing and were mailed copies of the Planning Commission
Resolution indicating their concerns will be addressed. Responding to Chair Geile, Ms. Light stated
the site is allowed 300 animals as a use by right,and added this lot was created in conjunction with
a Subdivision Exemption and there is a residence on both lots. She further stated the four mobile
homes will be used for employee housing.

Don Carroll, Department of Public Works, stated Weld County Road 24 is a paved,collector status
road,which should have 80 feet of right-of-way at full build out; however, there is currently only 60
feet of right-of-way. He stated the most recent traffic count at the intersection of Weld County
Roads 24 and 19 indicated there is approximately 1,342 vehicles per day on the road. He indicated
the location of the main and secondary accesses, and added there is a third access east of the
home which the applicant has agreed to close. In response to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Carroll
stated the applicant will be required to reserve an additional 20 feet of right-of-way for the future
build out of Weld County Road 24, which is addressed in Condition of Approval#2.J. Responding
to Chair Geile, Trevor Jiricek, Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment, stated
because the number of animals will not exceed the amount allowed as a use by right,the applicant
is only required to comply with the Best Management Practices, which require control of manure
and wastewater on the property, and prohibits discharge from the property.
George Nichols, attorney, represented the applicant and stated he started representing the
applicant in October 2000, because Ms. Barrett's prior representative was injured. He reiterated
that the applicant is reducing the request from six mobile homes down to four. Responding to
Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Nichols stated there are currently 80 horses at the site, and there will be
an additional 30 foals this spring. He explained one of the employees monitors the animals, two
do all of the feeding duties, and the fourth maintains all of the machinery and grounds. He further
stated the existing septic system will be reviewed by the person who designed and installed it in
addition to determining what will be needed for the four mobile homes. He stated the necessary
applications have been filed with the Health Department and the systems will need to be in place
before the mobile homes are occupied. Responding to Chair Geile, Mr. Nichols stated the
applicant is planning on placing three mobile homes,with the option of one more in the future, and
added the campers have been removed and no overnight camping will be allowed. In response
to Commissioner Masden, Mr. Nichols stated the manure is spread on the 60 acres of pasture
owned by the applicant, and any excess is removed and hauled to a waste management or
composting facility. Mr. Jiricek stated the number of animals does not require any soil testing;
however, the applicant is aware of the effects of nitrogen on the soil.
No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. Responding to Chair Geile, Mr. Nichols
stated he and the applicant have reviewed and agree with the Conditions of Approval and
Development Standards.
Commissioner Vaad moved to approve the request of Reva Barrett for a Site Specific Development
Plan and Use by Special Review Permit#1310 for an Agricultural Service Establishment (equine
facility) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District, based on the recommendations of the Planning staff
and the Planning Commission, with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards as
entered into the record. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Masden, and it carried
unanimously.
