It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has not shown compliance with Section 11.4.2.1 through 11.4.2.6 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance, as follows A. Section 11.4.2.3 - Consistency with the intent of the zone district that the recorded exemption is located within, as expressed in the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. The applicant's parcel is currently zoned Agricultural. Approval of this Recorded Exemption would not be consistent with the intent of the Zone District. The parcel has been identified by the United States Department of Agriculture- Important Farmlands of Weld County Map as Farmland of Statewide Importance-"Prime". The Agricultural Zone District was established to maintain and promote agriculture as an essential feature of Weld County and to provide areas for the conduct of agricultural activities and activities related to agriculture as well as agricultural production without the interference of other, incompatible land uses. The proposed division and residential use of this property is considered incompatible with agricultural uses. B. Section 11.4.2.4 - Consistency with the purpose of efficient and orderly development as expressed in Section 1.3 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance. 1) Section 1.3.1 - Assisting orderly and integrated development. Weld County Planning Services' Staff maintains that further division of this property does not assist in orderly or integrated development of Weld County. A. Goal 4 of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan states - Provide a mechanism for the division of land which is agriculturally zoned.The intent of this goal is to maintain and enhance the highest level of agricultural productivity in Weld County. By approving less than 80 acre parcels the question of agricultural viability is raised. Given modern agricultural equipment and practices, parcels of less than 80 acres are generally considered impractical due to large scale management practices. 2) Section 1.3.2 -Promoting the health, safety, and general welfare of the residents of the County. Continued increases in the number of residential or small lots in predominantly agricultural areas may detract from the health, safety and welfare of the indigenous residents of the area as well as residents of the County. Continued urbanization of rural Weld County further pressures already strained services, such as but not limited to,fire protection and law enforcement services. 3) Section 1.3.10-Preserving agricultural land and promoting its most productive agrarian use. The preservation of prime farmland is one of the primary goals of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan.A.Goal 9 states"The minimum lot size of parcels in the Agricultural zone district should remain at 80 acres to encourage parcels large enough to retain viable farming operations or to accommodate modern agricultural equipment and irrigation practices." Further land division through the Recorded Exemption process is expected to diminish agrarian uses of the area. C. Section 11.4.2.5-Not in compliance with the recorded exemption standards set forth in Section 11.8 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance. 1) Section 11.8.7 - The recorded exemption application shall include the total contiguous land ownership, except in the Agricultural Zone District. In the Agricultural Zone District when a contiguous ownership equals at least twice the minimum lot size (160 acres), or a parcel otherwise recognized as a complete quarter section, a portion of the lot equal to the minimum lot size (80 acres) may be used in the recorded exemption application. The three(3)-lot recorded exemption application shall include the total contiguous land ownership equal to no less than twice the minimum lot size (160 acres) in the A (Agricultural) zone district, or is a parcel otherwise recognized as a complete quarter section. The fact that the applicant has conveyed, within the last calendar year, land which would have been considered contiguous had it been retained, may be considered as evidence of an intent to evade the purpose provisions of Sections 1.3 and 11.2.1 of this Ordinance. 2) Section 11.8.10 - The proposed recorded exemption evades the statement of purpose as set forth in Section 1.3 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance. The applicant has conveyed, within the last calendar year, land which would have been considered contiguous had it been retained, may be considered as evidence of an intent to evade the purpose provisions of Sections 1.3 and 11.2.1 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance. On July 28, 2000 a Recorded Exemption (RE-2792) was granted to the applicants on their adjacent 80.00 +/- acre parcel to the West. The Weld County Department of Planning Staff believes approval of this current application constitutes evidence of an intent to evade the purpose provisions of Sections 1.3 and 11.2.1 of the Subdivision Ordinance. Should the Board of County Commissioners approve this request, the Weld County Department of Planning Services' staff recommends the following conditions be attached: 1. A Weld County septic permit is required for any proposed home. The septic system shall be installed according to the Weld County Individual Sewage Disposal System (I.S.D.S.) regulations. 2. Prior to recording the plat: A. The applicant shall provide the Weld County Department of Planning Services with a certificate from the Weld County Treasurer showing no delinquent taxes exist for the original (mother parcel) area. fl r"1 B. In accordance with Weld County Department of Public Works Ordinance#180, Lots A and B shall each be granted one residential access. Direct access from a public road shall be limited to one access per legal parcel for residential use, no circle drives or additional accesses shall be granted.Access will be placed in such a location as to have adequate sight distance in both directions and shall not be placed below the crest of a hill or where physical obstructions are present. The road shall be graded and drained to provide all weather access and shalil be a minimum distance of 75 feet from any intersecting County or State roadway. C Lot B shall use the existing agricultural, oil and gas, or ditch road access points for agricultural operations as no additional accesses shall be granted. D. All approved accesses shall be clearly shown on the plat. The applicant shall contact the Weld County Department of Public Works to determine if a culvert is necessary at any approved road access point. If a drainage culvert is required, a 15 inch Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) is Weld County's minimum size. If the applicant chooses to place a larger culvert please contact the Weld County Department of Public Works to adequately size the culvert. E. Weld County Road 86 is designated on the Weld County Transportation Plan Map as a local gravel road, which requires 60 feet of right-of-way at full build out. There is presently 60 feet of right-of-way. A total of 30 feet from the centerline of Weld County Road 86 shall be delineated right-of-way on the plat. This road is maintained by Weld County. F. Weld County Road 37 is designated on the Weld County Transportation Plan Map as a collector status road, which requires a 80 feet of right-of-way at full build out. There is presently 60 feet of right-of-way. A total of 40 feet from the centerline of Weld County Road 37 shall be delineated on the plat as right-of-way reservation for future expansion of Weld County Road 37. This road is maintained by Weld County. G. The following notes shall be placed on the plat: 1) All proposed or existing structures will or do meet the minimum setback and offset requirements for the zone district in which the property is located. Pursuant to the definition of setback in the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line. 2) Any future structures or uses on site must obtain the appropriate zoning and building permits. 3) Prior to the release of building permits, the applicant shall submit a recorded deed describing the lot upon which the building permit is requested with the building permit applications. The legal description on such deed shall include the Lot designation and Recorded Exemption number. 4) Prior to the release of building permits, the applicant shall submit evidence to the Department of Planning Services that the lot has an adequate water supply of sufficient quality, quantity and dependability. 5) Should noxious weeds exist on the property or become established as a result of the proposed development the applicant/landowner shall be responsible for controlling the noxious weeds, pursuant to Weld County Ordinance 169A. 6) Recorded Exemptions on adjacent properties may raise the issue of compliance with the intent of the Recorded Exemption Process. Approval of this Recorded Exemption does not guarantee approval of future applications on adjacent properties. 7) RIGHT TO FARM COVENANT: Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States. The rural areas of Weld County may be open and spacious, but they are intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must recognize there are drawbacks, including conflicts with longstanding agricultural practices and a lower level of services than in town. Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long- established agricultural practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area. Well run agricultural activities will generate off-site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest, and gravel roads; odor from animal confinement, silage, and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and mosquitoes; the use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields, including the use of aerial spraying. Ditches and reservoirs cannot simply be moved "out of the way" of residential development without threatening the efficient delivery of irrigation to fields which is essential to farm production. Weld County covers a land area of over 4,000 square miles in size (twice the State of Delaware)with more than 3,700 miles of state and county roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be served stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints more than on patrols of the county and the distances which must be traveled may delay all emergency responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire protection is usually provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies. County gravel roads, no matter how often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of surface expected from a paved road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions to arterials may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Snow removal for roads within subdivisions are of the lowest priority for public works or may be the private responsibility of the homeowners. Services in rural areas, in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services. Children are exposed to different hazards in the country than in an urban or suburban setting. Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps and center pivot operations, high speed traffic, sand burs, puncture vines,territorial farm dogs, and livestock present real threats to children. Controlling children's activities is important, not only for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood. Parents are responsible for their children. 3. The applicant shall submit a Mylar plat to the Weld County Department of Planning Services to be recorded in the office of the Weld County Clerk and Recorder. The plat shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.7 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance.

The 86.00+/- acre parcel is 'A mile East of Weld County Road 37 and South of and Adjacent to Weld County Road 86. There are currently no improvements on either proposed lot. The Department of Planning Staff maintains that the application is not in compliance with Section 11.8.7 and 11.8.10 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance. For this reason Staff is requesting this case be reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners. Section 11.8.7 states: The recorded exemption application shall include the total contiguous land ownership. except in the Agricultural Zone District. In the Agricultural Zone District when a contiguous ownership equals at least twice the minimum lot size (160 acres), or a parcel otherwise recognized as a complete quarter section, a portion of the lot equal to the minimum lot size (80 acres)may be used in the recorded exemption application. The fact that the applicant has conveyed, within the last calendar year, land which would have been considered contiguous had it been retained, may be considered as evidence of an intent to evade the purpose provisions of Sections 1.3 and 11.2.1 of this Ordinance." Section 11.8.10 states: The proposed recorded exemption does not evade the statement of purpose as set forth in Section 1.3"of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance. On July 28, 2000 a Recorded Exemption (RE-2792) was granted to the applicants on their adjacent 86.00 +/- acre parcel to the West. The Department of Planning Staff believes approval of this current application constitutes evidence of an intent to evade the purpose provisions of Sections 1.3 and 11.2.1 of the Subdivision Ordinance. The Conditions of Approval of RE-2792, Paragraph 2. G, Number 6, states: "Recorded Exemptions on adjacent properties may raise the issue of compliance with the intent of the Recorded Exemption process.Approval of this Recorded Exemption does not guarantee approval of future applications on adjacent properties." The Department of Planning Services' staff respectfully requests that the Board of County Commissioners consider the application and determine if the standards of Sections 11.2 through 11.8 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance have been met and that the applicants request adheres to the goals and policies of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan.

The purpose of this letter is to share some additional information that may not have been communicated earlier, in hopes that you will be able to visualize the future that we see for these adjoining eighties. Because the existing farm buildings run long and narrow through the center of the west eighty,we have thought that the existing pivot sprinkler would operate at less risk if it were to irrigate only the east half Smaller pivots could be placed to the north and to the south of the existing farmstead; these would make full circles. The present pivot must act as a windshield wiper. At the present, in order for it to irrigate as much land as possible and as close to the farmstead as possible, one wheel must mote into the silage pit from the north and again from the south. 'The pit is open on the south end by the time of irrigation season. The north end of the pit;however, is a different situation. Each year the dirt wall and silage have to be moved out in order to maximize the sprinkler's circling capacity and its coverage. This situation puts this expensive piece of equipment at risk of turnover. With three pivots,the well structure of the farm,which includes six total wells,would be designed so two wells would serve each of the three pivots. This plan would service and irrigate the acres effectively, and would be a viable alternative if the farm economy does not improve and we should have a need to sell one of the eighties. As this county continues to develop as we all know it will, medium and large-sized farms will exist only if they are able to succeed financially. Letting farmers sell corners that are less productive because of poor soil quality or by efficiency in regard to labor and watering costs, is a sensible thing to do. It is highly unlikely that farmers with economies of scale will be looking to move into this area to farm. Smaller farms will be the future units of production in this area. As we look down the road. people who work in town for their primary income and farm a small unit for their secondary income will probably be the future farmers of the land which we are considering and of this area of Weld County. It appears to us that the present plan to preserve agricultural land is a penalty to the farmer who owns that land. Government entities cannot penalize that owner into profitability. Incentives for success need to be provided,especially with the agricultural economy the way it is. The farmers need flexibility to sell off the land,water,equipment, or whatever he deems necessary to sell, in order to survive. True farmers preserve the land,love the land and part with it only when it becomes a necessity or when it is not productive economically. As you review the area surrounding these two eighties,you will see that the City of Thorton owns the quarter on the east,the quarter on the west, and the quarter on the south of us. The quarter on the north of us has a multitude of houses and acreages on it. One-half mile south of us on the west side of the road,there is good land going unfarmed. One-half mile west of that, a subdivision is going in. In the Ault area,there are several irrigated farms that are going unfarmed this year. There are several bankruptcies or Chapter Elevens going on for farmers in our area, and rumors of several more that are surfacing right now. As we consider what is going on around us,we do not see how these two applications would adversely affect anything. It wouldn't seem fair to turn our request down,while some owners of smaller acreages have been allowed to divide and divide and have not preserved the land for agriculture. Neither do they make their living in agriculture,yet they have greatly profited on the small acres they had. In the thirty- three years we have farmed in this area, and in the twenty-three years we have owned this land,we have never asked for an exemption. Through the years,this has been a legitimate farming operation recognized by the industry for both its crop and seedstock production. Nevertheless,because of the economics in agriculture these past few years and because we are lacking economies of scale,tax returns for this operation have not shown profits for any of the past three years or more. Getting these two exemptions on these two corners of these two eighties should help us to keep this farm going awhile longer. We believe that this will be a step toward preserving true farmland for awhile longer. With farming,comes heavy labor. It is difficult to hire workers for machinery operation or even shoveling for that matter. Through the years,our four sons have helped us with much of the work. The youngest of the four will graduate from college next month. Now, none of them will be helping their father,who turns 59 next week. With this, we are thinking of what changes we need to be making. None of us likes seeing the land in the area filling up with houses and people,but like it or not, some things are going to happen. It is our hope that the property rights of farmers will not be restricted to the point that they are made to sacrifice so that the rest of the community can enjoy open space at their expense. Since changes are coming, we want to be planning for them and planning for the smaller economical sizes and needs of the future farmers of this area. These will be a different kind of farmer than in the past,yet they can also be productive. The plans we have for our property will hopefully work for the present and for that future. Who knows,maybe it will be one or more of our own sons who returns to some of these acres to hobby farm as they keep their primary jobs piloting airplanes working with satellites or computers, or working in animal genetics. ]f there was a decent income and future in fanning,they might have returned,but with low prices,global markets to juggle, no economies of scale,drought, and changes coming for this area,other careers called to them. In the meantime,we would like to be able to finish out our years to retirement here. Thank you for your patience in reading this long letter and for working with us. The friendly,helpful manner of your staff has been greatly appreciated. We sincerely hope that you will consider all these factors and then extend your approval to these applications. Sincerely, THE ISAKSONS E mss . Y7- Dennis and Linda Recorded Exemption Questionnaire 1. Water supply statements addressing the following: a. Domestic Use; Domestic water from North Weld Water District is proposed for Lot A. The "will-serve" letter from North Weld Water District for Lot A is included in the submittal application packet. b. Irrigation water: Property for Lot B currently has ditch rights to the Collins Lateral Ditch and is served by Water Supply and Storage along with some Big T water. Lot B is also served by existing wells and pumps located on Lot B and on the adjacent 80 plus acres in the same quarter of land. Lot B has an agricultural irrigation sump area in the far southeast corner. Lot A will not have any irrigation water assigned to it at this time. It could be possible to lease water at sonic time in the future for use on Lot A; however, Lot A is not a good productive soil type and is not productive, prime land, and will not benefit greatly by the rental of irrigation water. Many years ago the land in Lot B was leveled down to the shale and that affects its level of productivity. 2. A statement explaining that the proposed lot will have adequate means for the disposal of sewage in compliance with the requirements of the underlying zone district and the Weld County Health Department. A copy of the septic permit or a letter from the sewage disposal facility must accompany the application. The proposed lots will have an adequate means for the disposal of sewage and will maintain compliance with the requirements of the zone district and the Weld County Health Department. A septic permit will be applied for along with the building permits on Lot A. There is no existing septic system on Lot B. 3. A description of how the property is being used. When the parcel(s) is located in the agricultural zone district, the description shall include approximate acreage of prime and nonprime farmland as defined in the Weld County Comprehensive Plan, number and types of livestock and any existing improvements such as the principal residence, labor home, mobile home, manufactured home, barn, outbuildings, irrigation ditches, and oil well production facilities on the property. The property of this farm, including both the east half and the west half, currently totals 172 acres. Lots A and B are approximately half of this total (or about 86 acres). A seven-tower pivot sprinkler has been in use for almost five years on Lot B and has allowed for more efficient use of irrigation water and labor and better overall farm management. Under the pivot, corn, beans, sugar beets, and alfalfa have been grown. It is important to note that Lot A has not been productive as farmland because of it being of a poorer soil type. The corners of this farm have been farmed or pastured and have required excessive amounts of time and labor, and these are definitely not cost effective, especially during these past few years of both low crop and low livestock prices. Throughout the winter months, approximately 230 cows and their calves along with 8 or less mature bulls pasture this place for approximately 4 months of the year. There is an irrigation sump pump located in the far southeast corner of Lot B. There are no buildings on Lots A or B at this time. There is a field road on the east side of these lots. This field rad is used to check the crops, to reach the sump pump and to access and exit when farming. There are no oil wells. 4. The reason for the proposed amended recorded exemption with an explanation how each lot will be used. The purpose for this application is to split the productive, prime agricultural land (Lot B) from the land on the corner outside of the pivot (Lot A). Lot A cannot be irrigated by the pivot sprinkler; but more importantly, it is of a poorer soil type and is not as productive. This application would create a building site on the portion (Lot A) which is not as productive and not irrigatible by the pivot sprinkler. In addition.. the owner needs to sell this corner for economic reasons. 5. A description of the location, sizes, and present use of the area where the proposed new lot(s) will be created. Lot A is approximately five acres in size and is located in the northeast corner of Lot B on WCR 86, which is a paved road. Lot A is approximately '/2 mile east of WCR 37 which also is a paved road. The lot is planned to be triangular in shape. It has been used for growing alfalfa or corn. The rows of corn were very short and irrigating them with tubes is very labor intensive. Cultivating and harvesting short rows is inefficient and expensive. Whether these acres were in corn or alfalfa, the tonnage has always been low because of the poor soil. 6. A statement describing any unique physical characteristics on the site, if applicable. There are no unique on site physical characteristics on the site. 7. A statement indicating that all proposed or existing structures will or do meet minimum setback and offset requirements for the zone district in which the property is located. All structures will meet the minimum setback and offset requirements for the zone district on Lot A. (Not applicable to lot B since there are no proposed or existing structures.) 8. A statement indicating whether the applicant is willing to place a conservation easement on the property to maintain farm production or open space. A conservation easement is not applicable to this proposal. 9. A statement indicating whether a building envelope will be designated on any of the lots. No building envelope has been designated. 10. Statement explaining how the proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan and any adopted municipal plan, and any approved intergovernmental agreement(s), if applicable. This proposal, pending approval, will allow the property owner to split the less productive portion of the farm (due to irrigation and soil production limitations) from the more productive cropland. This proposal takes no "prime" land out of production. Basically, the proposal is separating the most productive land from the least productive, allowing for the continued agricultural uses of the larger parcel; therefore, this proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive plan. The site is not located within any adopted municipal plan or intergovernmental agreements; however, it is located within the referral boundaries of the Town of Ault and The Town of Pierce. 11. A statement explaining how the proposed uses will be compatible with existing surrounding land uses. The current surrounding land uses comprise of residential/agricultural lots to the north, south, east, and west. The town of Pierce is close to three miles to the northwest and the Town of Ault lies approximately two miles to the southwest. The existing and proposed uses of the property will be identical to the existing uses of the surrounding properties, which include limited livestock production, cropland, pasture, and gardening. 12. A statement explaining how the proposal is consistent with the intent of the district it is located within as expressed in the Weld County Ordinance, as amended, and the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. This proposal is consistent with the intent of the agriculture zone district in the fact that the proposed split will separate the least productive portions from the productive farmland. The recorded exemption is a tool that was created to split off existing improvements or non-productive portions of a property and maintain the Agriculture zoning. 13. A statement explaining how the proposal is consistent with efficient and orderly development as defined in the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance, Section 1.3.
