Use by Special Review Questionnaire
Docheff Dairy
1441 WCR 28
Longmont, Colorado, 80504
1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property. The existing and proposed use of
this property includes a dairy facility for milk production. Related activities include milk
production, raising replacement heifers, and farming. Supporting infrastructure includes
buildings and corrals for livestock husbandry, equipment storage, maintenance facilities,
waste management control structures and residences for the owners and employees. This
proposal is for 1,800 dairy cattle and up to twenty-four (24) horses, a new freestall barn,
milking parlor, corral areas, and a new stormwater containment system with improvements to
the existing drainage.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County
Comprehensive Plan. This use is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive plan
through the preservation, enhancement and growth of agriculture. A dairy has existed at the
site since approximately 1981. This facility is located on prime farmland when irrigated. The
facility supports commercial and industrial uses directly related to or dependent upon
agriculture. Efforts to preserve productive agriculture land include the maintenance,
enhancement and growth of a viable, profitable, agricultural business. The proposed site is
not located within a flood hazard zone, a geologic hazard zone or airport overlay zone. The
proposed use is necessary in Weld County to preserve the agricultural economic base
historically attributed to the area. The proposed use provides approximately twelve
agriculture jobs for Weld county residents. Typically, feedlot and dairy operations contribute
2.5 times their gross sales into the local economy.
3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Zoning
Ordinance and the zone district in which it is located. This proposal meets the intent of
the agricultural zoned 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. There are three (3)
residential homes located within 500 feet of the proposed USR boundary. All three homes
are located on the dairy property owned by or affiliated with the Docheff Family.
5. Describe in detail the following:
a. How many people will use this site? Approximately twelve (12) employees, the owners
and owners' family, sales representatives, and supply delivery people.
b. How many employees are proposed to be employed at this site? Approximately 12
employees will work over 3 shifts. Dairies typically have an employee to animal ratio of one
employee per every one hundred animals. However, this number can vary as much as
twenty percent.
c. What are the hours of operation? The facility will continue to operate 24 hours per day
in the milking barn and related facilities 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 on this site? Most structures are
currently in place. Proposed structures include the addition of a new milk parlor, new dairy
barn, a freestall barn, two new corral areas, and one (1) stormwater retention pond with
improvements made to existing drainage. Please refer to the site plan maps for existing and
proposed structures.
e. What type and how many animals, if any, will be on this site? A maximum of 1,800
dairy cattle and up to twenty-four (24) horses.

Animal Type Totals
Milking Cows 800
Dry Cows / Close-ups 350
Heifers/Steers*(500Ibs. Avg.) 350
Calves and others 300
TOTAL 1,800
* Actual breakout of animal type and weights may vary.
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. Semi-tractor tanker trucks will pick up milk on a daily basis. Operating
equipment includes typical farming equipment, tractors, loaders and attachments, trucks,
milking and milk handling equipment.
Semi-Tractor Milk Truck 1/day
Semi-Tractor Commodity truck 5/wk
Commodity Farm Trucks 2/wk
Hay Trucks, Semi-Tractors daily during hay season
Haylage— daily during haylage harvesting season
Silage—daily during silage cutting season
Rendering truck— when needed
g. Who will provide fire protection to the site? Mountain View Fire Protection District.
h. What is the water source on the property? Domestic and livestock water is provided
by the Longs Peak Water District. Irrigation water is supplied by Highland Ditch and Big
Thompson Water.
i. What is the sewage disposal system on the property? Each of the three homes have
their own individual septic systems. Statement of Existing Use forms have been submitted
to Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment for the septic systems
associated with the two modular homes. The septic system serving the primary residence is
permitted. Copies of the Individual Sewage Disposal System permit for the primary
residence and Statement of Existing Use forms for the two trailer houses are included in the
Sewage and Water section of the application.
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. No additional landscaping is currently
planned except as outlined in the Nuisance Management Plan.
7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the USR 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 storm water drainage will be handled on site. Storm water drainage is
handled by existing storage ponds, and one (1) new stormwater pond (proposed), which will
be maintained and operated in accordance with the Colorado Confined Animal Feeding
Control Regulations. Water from these ponds is used to irrigate farmground. Specific details
regarding stormwater management are outlined in the Manure & Process Wastewater
Management Plan
9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and
landscaping is scheduled to begin. The additional construction proposed are two corral
areas on the north and northwest side of the facility, one stormwater pond, one milkbarn and
one freestall barn. The new corrals will replace the existing corral areas on the southeast
side of the dairy, which will be abandoned when the new corral areas are completed.
Construction of the new corrals is anticipated to begin in 2000, as finances allow.
10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site. Most of the
manure produced at the facility is land applied to crops immediately after being removed
from pen surfaces. The remaining portion that is not land applied is composted and sold.
The composting area is located on the north portion of the site such that runoff is contained
and nuisance conditions are minimized. 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. Solid manure is composted and hauled off-site. Details of
the manure management system are outlined in the Manure and Wastewater Management
Plan. Debris and refuse are collected and removed by Western Disposal Services of
Boulder on a weekly basis.
