We are opposed to the dominating nature of the Dyeland Dairy proposal. If this project is allowed to move forward, it will immediately degrade the character of the existing neighborhood. Last Spring, Planning and Zoning personnel informed me that people involved in small agricultural operations or living on very small acreages would increasingly occupy the area where we live. A few years ago my wife and I happened to sit next to one of the present commissioners who told us that the region of Weld County where we now reside was expected to evolve as was just stated. Area newspapers constantly remind us of this fact. We have lived at 40361 WCR 17 for ten years. We also operate a large farm at another location. Our family has been involved in dairy and feedlot operations since the 1940's. We are very familiar with the problem Mr. Dye's Dairy would create for our neighborhood. There is no effective method for controlling the pollutants that are created by this type of activity. Besides this, Mr. Dye has an unimpressive history cif ignoring regulations. An operation like this should be located several miles from any existing or planned residential region. Other dairymen have condemned Dye's plan because of Dye's proposed proximity to a suburban development zone. Of course, his present neighbors are delighted that he is moving. Those who are in favor of the dairy stand to gain financial benefit from it. They do not live here, nor for that matter does Mr. Dye. Sincerely,el Will m E. & ane .

She had concerns at the Planning and Zoning hearing regarding the location of employee housing units across from her property. We had a meeting with Sonya Stonestreet and Mr. Dye agreed to relocate the planned employee housing internal and adjacent to the north side of the proposed dairy parlor. She was very happy with our resolution. Her property is under contract and her buyer was concerned with the previous employee housing location. We have since talked with both Sonya's attorney and her buyer. They are both please with the resolution and have stated in telephone conversations with me that they have no further conflict with the dairy project. Sonya stated in our last phone conversation on November 28, 2000 that she would not be in attendance at the County Commissioner's hearing. She will be out of town but that we had adequately addressed her concerns. Plaacs>include this correspondence in the file_ Thankyou. 2 t*#N*fT FROM .

O. Box 758 Greeley, Co 80632 RECEIVED RE: Docket#2000-72 for Terry Dye, Dyelands Dairy LLC, on specia review permit#1289 We are writing to express our concern for the proposed Dyelands Dairy. We find it hard to believe that anyone whould even consider locating a large dairy at this site. It is not consistant with the way this neighborhood is evolving. Thirty years ago, when we were searching for a place to build our house and raise our family, we chose this place on county road 15 for several reasons. We wanted to be in Weld county because it seemed to be much more agricultural than Larimer county, we felt this area would be slower to develop, and we liked the protective covenants placed on this quarter section when it was divided. These covenants said we could have animals for our own use but not in such a number as to be a commercial operation, there could be no mobile homes, and no noisy operations. With these covenants in place, we felt that would be the way development would occur in this area. While we certainly are not excited to see more and more houses being built closer and closer to us, we do understand that it is going to happen whether we like it or not. In the last six weeks alone, there have been many articles to testify to that end. The Fort Collins 'Coloradoan of October 16, 2000 tells of Fort Collins looking to the agricultural lands north of Anheuser-Busch and east of Interstate 25 for expansion. Already several homes have been built in the new Water Glen subdivision adjacent to Interstate 25. The Greeley Tribune of October 29, 2000 says that rural Weld is in high demand. Colorado is no longer thought of as an agricultural state but as aplace to retire, to start new businesses, and a place to live. On October 20, 2000 the Denver Rocky Mountain News and the Fort Collins Coloradoan both show Severance as Colorado's fourth fastest-growing city and the 19th fastest-growing city. in the nation. And in the Greeley Tribune on October 19, we learn of the approval by Weld county commissioners of a 114-lot development three miles north of Windsor called Soaring Eagle. That is just four miles south of the proposed Dyeland Dairy. Belmont Farms, a gated community, is four miles to the east, Cosa Loma is two miles south of that, Trappers Point subdivision is two and one-half miles to the west of the proposed dairy, and Linden Ridge just two miles west. And the recently approved Remington Place subdivision is just 'one-half mile south of the dairy site. You have considered the possible complaints that would come from estate lots located next to a feedlot and a subdivision next to the airport, so please consider the possible complaints that will come with a dairy located in the middle of this many subdivions. Mr. Dye states that he would start with just 1,000 cows and gradually grow to 4,000. If he is given permission now to be 4,000 cows sometime in the future, he will basically have permission to put a milk factory right in the middle of residential acreages. Just last week we received a land classification questionnaire from the WeldCounty Assessor trying to determine if we should be reclassified as residential instead of r agricultural. This area, I am soory to say, will not be considered agricultural much longer. r - , This neighborhood is residential acreages and small family farms. If you look at a list of the surrounding property owners, you will notice almost all properties are smaller in size than the proposed 78 acre dairy (or 90 acres with holding ponds) . The cows will occupy more space than most of us. And for us who live between county road 13 and county road 15, it will be like living right in the middle of the dairy with 2,0O0 cows to the west of us and 4,000 cows to the east of us. There are many facts and statistics that can be examined, and adjusted, but we have just four questions. Why would someone want to put such a large dairy in an area that very likely will lead to many complaints? If you need to expand from the current 2,000 cows to a total of 6,000 cows to survive the market because prices for milk are the lowest in 20 years, why would you buy land at $4,000-$4,500/acre when I am sure you could get land somewhere else in Weld county for much less? Many have said that Mr. Dye runs one of the best dairys in the state so we have no need to be concerned, but what happens once it is built if he sells it to someone who is not a good operator? This summer irrigation water was allowed to run off the proposed dairy property onto county road 15 creating hazardous driving conditions, so how can we be guaranteed that Mr. Dye is going to control runoff in the future? And the run-off will no longer be just irrigation water and silt. We have nothing against dairys. In fact, our daughters raised brown swiss cows in 4--a. And we do not understand how anyone who buys property next to an existing dairy, feedlot, business, etc. later feels they have a right to groundless complaints. Even if we did not live in this neighborhood, we would not agree that this large of (." a dairy is compatible. We hope you each personnally visit our neighborhood before making any of your decisions and see for yourself that any long range planning should not include this size of a business in this area. Thank-you for your best consideration of this matter. ,ncerely, ^'��/�, iJ /� 141 o7— Lynn & Linda Russell 41695 Weld Co.
