Re: CrossCut Lateral Issues
Mr. Torgerson:
This letter is to address the issues for the CrossCut Lateral and proposed development on
the"Stark"farm. The CrossCut Lateral traverses from the Northwest corner,
southeasterly to the Southeast corner of the Northeast ' of Sec. 12, T 7, R66. All
located in Weld County, Colorado near the town of Ault.
The first and most important issue surrounding this development is the question of actual
ownership of the CrossCut Lateral. In some instances along the ditch, the Company
actually owns the land that the ditch encompasses. In other areas,there is only an
easement in which the Lateral travels. The CrossCut Lateral would like to have this issue
clarified by having your company research the abstract and determine the actual
ownership of the property where the Lateral travels.
Once that has been determined, a survey of the actual location of the Lateral as it
currently exists needs to be flagged and pinned. In old abstracts the width of the actual
ownership or easement is not defined. Therefore, the CrossCut has asserted in the past,
along with other area ditch companies, a 25-foot width. This would be measured 12.5
feet on either side of the centerline of the Lateral. No planting of any trees, shrubs, or
other type of ornamentals is to be planted within that right-of-way or ownership.
Another area of importance to the Lateral is the issue of potential debris, and children,
entering the Lateral and plugging or being pulled into the tile that goes under Weld
County Road#37. The Lateral would require a steel grate be installed at that point. The
7,, grate needs to cover the opening of the tile, including the full dimension of the inlet and
ditch. The grate is to have spacing between the rods of not more than 10 inches. The

future Home Owners Association would then be responsible for the maintenance and
cleaning of said grate once per day when water is flowing in the Lateral. The CrossCut
Lateral ditchrider would check said grate during normal ditch operations, but not take the
place of the Homeowner's Association responsibilities.
Another issue that the Lateral would like to see addressed is the North side of the
surveyed boundary. Along that side of the Lateral, where the development is to take
place, a definite line between the ditch ownership and the lot lines is advised. This can
be accomplished by installing a two or three rail, split rail type fence. Definitely a
deterrent, yet not something that will hinder or take away from the style of the
development. The Lateral would suggest to put in two gates at the sites located on the
plans where future street crossings may be installed. This would allow for ease of access
by the Lateral as-well as the homeowners association. A six-foot chain link fence was
suggested, but we believe that is more of a liability rather than a safety factor.
As a final requirement by the Lateral to the Homeowners Association and or developers
of the Stark Farm; it is advised and required to notify the potential homeowners of the
Weld County's Right to Farm Law. There is a feedlot across the road that will remain in
operation as well as numerous other agricultural activities that will continue. These
activities may occur at any time of the day or night. Lateral activities include burning of
weeds, spraying of weeds, ditch maintenance and cleaning, as well as the ditchrider
responsibilities will not be curtailed or changed due to the introduction of homes in the
area. All appropriate precautions will be performed to notify area landowners of the
activities taking place, but they will be performed on the Laterals schedule.
Thank you for your time in addressing these issues. If you have any further questions or
comments please feel to reach me at the Thornton Farm Management Office. The phone
number is 970-834-2785.

Re: Case Number Z-557 Stark Farm
3rd Referral Response
NE1/4, Section 12, T7N, R66W, 6th PM
Water District 1, Water Division 1
Dear Mr. Gathman:
We have twice commented on above referenced proposal to rezone a 162.5-acre
parcel into 38 residential lots. The Water Supply Information Summary sheet was
included in the referral packet and estimates 350 gallons per day per residence. The
proposed water supply sources listed were three wells (well permit numbers 13971-R,
13972-R, & 13973-R) and the North Weld County Water District (District). A letter of
commitment from the District was submitted in the second county referral package.
Based upon materials received by this office from Davis, Miller & Wohnrade Civil
Engineers, Inc., it appears the three irrigation wells will continue to be used for irrigation
within the development. Submitted information indicates that the three irrigation wells
listed above are decreed to irrigate 160 acres in the NE1/4 of said section 12 and are
covered by the Cache La Poudre Augmentation Plan. This office, therefore, has no
objection to the development acreage being irrigated by the three wells. However, an
additional proposed use of the three wells is fire protection. This use is not incorporated
into the existing water court decree (Cache La Poudre Augmentation Plan —W-7921)
and this office can not approve the proposal as submitted. We would recommend the
North Weld County Water District (District) water be the dedicated supply for fire
protection. The District's letter of commitment includes water supply for fire protection.
Pursuant to Section 30-28-136(1)(h)(I) & (II), C.R.S., the State Engineer's Office
offers the opinion that providing both irrigation water and fire protection water from the
existing three wells will injure existing water rights and therefore, this office can not
recommend approval for the proposal as submitted. However, if the fire protection
supply is not connected to the three irrigation wells, and is provided by the District, this
office could recommend approval of the subdivision.
Should you have any questions, please contact Bill McIntyre of this office.
Sincerely, /

To Weld County Commissioners:
l am a Real )3state Broker from Ft. Collins. Last spring 2001 Ric Hansen called me to
inquire: about :buying a feedlot located on the northeast corner of County Rd 86 and
County rd 37. I was told by Producers Livestock, who was the owner of record, that the
feedlot was approved for 4,000 head but realistically could not handle any more than
2O00 head.

Re: Weld County Odor Evaluation
Dear Mr.Hansen:
Pursuant to your request MFG, Inc. has evaluated odor emissions near an animal
feeding operation located in Weld County, Colorado near the town of Ault.
Various techniques for odor measurement include the human nose and a
scentometer. Odor must be detectable by the human nose to warrant the use of a
scentometer. The Colorado Air Pollution Control Division and County Health
Departments typically designate the Bamebey—Sutcliffe Scentometer for the
determination of the intensity of an odor. As described by the Bamebey& Sutcliffe
the scentometer is used to determine the order of magnitude intensity of an odorant in air.
It is assentially a rectangular, clear plastic box containing two chambers of activated
carbon,two nasal ports for sniffing,two 'A"diameter air inlets(one for each activated
carbon bed), and six odorous-air inlets covering a range of diameters. The odorous-air
inlet hole used to produce the dilution indicates the approximate concentration of the
field odor.
Mr. Jun Kienholz of MFG, Inc. conducted the evaluation. Mr. Kienholz has a
B.S. in civil engineering from Colorado State University and has previously been
certified by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to determine and
grade odor emissions in accordance with Regulation No, 2 of the Colorado Air Pollution
Control Commission.
On the morning of September 13, 2001 at 9:15 AM, Mr. Kienholz accompanied
by Mr. Hansen evaluated the odor emission from an animal feeding operation. The odor
assessment was conducted northeast of Ault, Colorado at the location of a development
currently being proposed by Mr. Hansen. A cattle feedlot is situated in the northeast:
quadrant of the intersection of County Road 37 and County Road 84, while Mr. Hansen's
property is located in the southwest quadrant. According to Mr. Hansen,the feedlot :s

?emitted for 4,000 cattle(4,000 animal units). Approximately 90 percent of the
available pen space was occupied but the actual head of cattle was not estimated. Tae
iltst odor measurement location was conducted at the road intersection. Winds wer!,
generally calm but an occasional gentle breeze from the southeast was measured at;an
average speed of 1 mile per hour. The temperature was 71 degrees Fahrenheit The nose
did not detect any odor emissions from the cattle. However,a mild odor from shay(,was
discernable. Two other odor measurements were attempted at locations near the north
end of the feedlot along County Road 37 and near the east end of the feedlot along
'County Road 84. The nose did not detect an odor emission at either location;theref3re,
he scentometer was not required.
If you have any questions or if we can provide any additional services, pleas:
contact me at your convenience at 303-447-1823.

Dear Mr. Gathman:
Even though the Town of Ault has previously stated our views on the Weld County
Referral for Mikal Torgerscn, I do want to clarify one other point regarding zoning of th.a
area in question- When we updated our Comprehensive Plan in 1999, we identified that
area spec_frcally to be most suited for "Estate-sized" residential dwellings/lots. We mad;;
this distinction because of the topography situation making city sewer service
impra.crical. Our position on this point has not changed.
Sincerely, /,

LETTER FROM CROSSCUT LATERAL

Re: CrossCut Lateral Issues
Mr. "Forgerson:
This letter is to address the issues for the CrossCut Lateral and proposed development :,u
the "Stark" farm. The CrossCut Lateral traverses from the Northwest corner,
southeasterly to the Southeast corner of the Northeast 1/4 of Sec. 12, T 7, R66. All
located in Weld County, Colorado near the town of Ault.
The first and most important issue surrounding this development is the question o f acti.i l
ownership of the CrossCut Lateral. In some instances along the ditch, the Company
actually owns the land that the ditch encompasses. In other areas, there is only an
easement in which the Lateral travels. The CrossCut Lateral would like to have tins issue
clarified by having your company research the abstract and determine the actual
ownership of the property where the Lateral travels.
Once flat has been determined, a survey of the actual location of the Lateral as it
currently exists needs to be flagged and pinned. In old abstracts the width of the actua'
ownership or easement is not defined. Therefore, the CrossCut has asserted in the pass_
along with other area ditch companies, a 25-foot width. This would be measured 12.5
feet on either side of the centerline of the Lateral. No planting of ally trees, shrubs, or
other type of ornamentals is to be planted within that right-of-way or ownership.
Another area of importance to the Lateral is the issue of potential debris, and chiialren,
entering the Lateral and plugging or being pulled into the tile that goes under Weld
County Road #37. The Lateral would require a steel grate be installed at that point. T -:c
grate needs to cover the opening of the tile, including the full dimension of the inlet and
ditch. The grate is to have spacing between the rods of not more than 10 inches. The
future Home Owners Association would then be responsible for the maintenance and
cleaning of said grate once per day when water is flowing in the Lateral. The CrossCut
Lateral ditchrider would check said grate during normal ditch operations, but not take the
place of the Homeowner's Association responsibilities.
Another issue that the Lateral would like to see addressed is the North side of the
surveyed boundary. Along that side of the Lateral, where the development is to take
place, a definite line between the ditch ownership and the lot lines is advised. This can
be accomplished by installing a two or three rail, split rail type fence. Definitely a
deterrent, yet not something that will hinder or take away from the style of the
development. The Lateral would suggest to put in two gates at the sites located on the
plans where future street crossings may be installed. This would allow for ease of acces:�
by the Lateral as well as the homeowners association. A six-foot chain link fence was
suggested, but we believe that is more of a liability rather than a safety factor.
As a final requirement by the Lateral to the Homeowners Association and or developers
of the Stark Farm; it is advised and required to notify the potential homeowners of he
Weld County's Right to Farm Law. There is a feedlot across the road that will remain i:1
operation as well as numerous other agricultural activities that will continue. These
activities may occur at any time of the day or night. Lateral activities include bunting o!
weeds, spraying of weeds, ditch maintenance and cleaning, as well as the ditchrider
responsibilities will not be curtailed or changed due to the introduction of homes in the
area. All appropriate precautions will be performed to notify area landowners of the
activities taking place, but they will be performed on the Laterals schedule.
Thank you for your time in addressing these issues. If you have any further questions o
•
comments please feel to reach me at the Thornton Farm Management Office. The Atone
number is 970-834-2785.

Dear Gene:
I am writ_ng to confirm our recent conversation about the above reference project. Key points discussed are as follows:
CDOT reviewed the traffic impact study and concurred with the assumptions,procedures, and.;onclasions
contained in the study.
■ Based upon the study,CDOT does not require the installation of an eastbound to northboir.4.1 left tur:t
at the Weld County Road(WCR)37 intersection.
1 :lope this letter clarifies CDOT's position on this matter. Simply stated,CDOT is not requiring any i•npro\c.net.t$to
