Gene Gurley, applicant, reported they have an existing permit for a Use by Special Review which allows for fifty dogs on another property. Their business has grown considerably, therefore, they want to expand on this property. They would raise dog on this property. The only dogs on the property would be under one year old, injured dogs, and old dogs that do not race any more. There would be no training at this site. He explained the physical lay-out planned for the kennel operation. Hired help will live in a mobile hone on this property. The land around the kennel area is in b x/tte 7 e Summary of the Weld County Planning Commission Meeting November 19, 1985 Page 5 alfalfa and they do not intend to disturb this. The land is very sandy, but this is an asset because they prefer loose, soft soil so the pads on the dogs feet are not injured. There is very little traffic associated with their kennel operation. The Chairman asked Mr. Gurley if he had reviewed the recommendations, conditions, and Development Standards as outlined by the Department of Planning Services staff. He stated he had and has no objections to them. The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the audience. Earl Anderson who also raises and trains greyhounds stated he knows the Gurleys' personally and he has great respect for them and the operation they run. Mike Pierro, surrounding property owner, reported he lives less than 500 feet from the. Gurleys' current kennel operation. He did not even know they raised dogs the first two years he lived there. The dogs are quiet and they run a clean and neat operation. Sherry Sauers, surrounding property owner, reported the dogs are very quiet and their property is very neat and clean. John Watson, Farm Manager, Parker Trust, Greeley National Bank Trust Department, stated they are opposed to this request because the ingress and egress is very limited and the property is very sandy. Also, the property is lower than other properties in the area and drainage could be a problem. Stacy Collins reported she also raises dogs and she sees no problem with the sandy soil at all. She has forty dogs on similar soil and has no problems with erosion. Rodney Strear, Strear Turkey Farms, surrounding property owners, stated he was opposed to this request at first, but after hearing the testimony from the applicants and their neighbors today he sees no problem with it. Tape 225 — S:Lde 1 The Department of Planning Services staff distributed a letter received in .,ti. today's mail supporting this request to the members of the Planning Commission.

You may wish to contact the Colorado Racing Commission to determine if there are any concerns they have with the proposed application. From the information received by this office, I have the following comments: - 1. It should be determined that the water to be provided the animals is potable. 2. The installation of individual sewage disposal system for animal wastes should be permitted and approved by the Weld County Health Department, and be engineered designed. 3. Animal wastes need to be disposed of in such a manner as not to cause a public health nuisance. Other thai as specified above, we have no problems with this application. WP/cs L�f,,, 3 S. 1 Weld Co.

The concerns are that an adequate grass buffer strip exist between the kennel area and the Coal Ridge Ditch to assure no changes in water quality. A minimum of 100 feet is necessary. Also, it is suggested that the use of windbreaks for wind protection, prevention of soil erosion, and noise screening be employed. The. Soil Conservation Service is available for assistance with the selection and design of windbreak plantings. Sincerely, Vie; Alva M.

I will be raising greyhounds to supply my race kennels in Co. & West Virginia . We are on 5 acres now with 50 dogs and this amount of land is not adequate for our needs . The surrounding properties are all in farm land. There is not an existing residential structure within a 1/4 of a mile. When we build our kennel building, we also plan to put a house trailer on the land for help to live in. One employee is all we will need. The employee will be working about 4 hours a day, 7 days a week . Our source of water will come from Weld County Central Water Dist. . The traffic will only be a pickup truck with supplies for the animals once or twice a week . The sewage facility will be a septic tank . I contacted the Ft. Lupton Fire Chief and I am in their fire district. I also will have adequate fire extinguishers in my kennel building. I am requisting a 200 dog permit. I will need somewhere between 50 to 200 dogs to supply my 2 race kennels . I will have a dumpster that will be picked up weekly by Tri-Area Rubbish. My plans are to start building as soon as I get the Special Review Permit and ii: should take 6 to 12 months . This will be complete kennel with fencing & house trailer. All of my dogs will have a pet door so they may go in and out at all times . Thank you for your time and consideration.

COLORADO 80631 ' November 19, 1985 Weld County Department of Planning Services 915 10th Street, Room 342 Greeley, Colorado 80631 Attn: Debbie deBesche, Current Planner Gentlemen: I am writing this letter on behalf of the Greeley National Bank Trust Department for a Trust known as Parker Trust. The Parker Trust is currently the owner of the S1 of Sec. 15, TS 2 North, Range 67 West of the 6th PM, Weld County, Colorado. I, as agent for the Opdyke Agency, Inc. , am the current farm manager and have the authority to represent the Parker Trust in this special review case, No. USR-710:85:55. As the agent, I want to officially protest this special review permit. It is immediately adjacent to the client's property on the North. I have personally made a physical inspection of the subject 80 acres and feel that the ingress and the egress is very limited and has no County road access. At the present time, there are no improvements on the property and I do not believe there are any utilities available for some distance. The soil texture around the property is very sandy and aany use of this kind would be endangered by blowing sand. Also, the topography of this specific piece of land is rather low and lacks drainage. I feel that a dog kennel is not a compatible use to an acgricultural zone, and it would be devaluating land values to our viand as well as other. The area is being farmed as dryland farming and i.:rrigated farming as well as a turkey operation in the vicinity, that has a heavy financial investment, as well as a substantial tax basis tco Weld County. therefore, for all the above reasons,we object to the special use for a. dog kennel. Yours very truly, OPDYKE AGENCY, INC. John P.
